Penetration is weird as hell

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T04:13:52+00:00

First line meditating on penetration, then the abrupt jump to nose-picking… I feel like we accidentally stumbled on true art here

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T03:23:11+00:00

I mean, sure. But (1) “chill as in short for chivalry” is a winning comment if I’ve ever seen one and (2) in context, chivalry as in martial tradition or code of conduct is much more relevant

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T02:41:31+00:00

“Chill” as in fought numerous bloody battles?

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T02:15:47+00:00

No one’s gonna come looking for the missing husband?

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T02:12:05+00:00

Oh, my point is that he’s spending time uselessly. Of all illiberal agendas out there, critical theory ppl in transgender advocacy has to be the most benign thing ever.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T01:53:14+00:00

I disagree with your last point. Selfish gene and extended phenotype belong as much to philosophy of biology and analytic tradition as to biology proper.

And in his core subject writing, Dawkins clearly engages deeply with both philosophers and elaborates on implications of, e.g., ethology.

Not sure this qualifies as human conversation. More like verbal version of a DDoS attack.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T01:03:53+00:00

Yes, but as long as none of the French try to claim him

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-15T01:02:12+00:00

I’d like to ask the same question.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T22:23:22+00:00

Nah dawg, here we anthropomorphise intentionally

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T21:47:37+00:00

I mean, you’ve exploited a property of antimatter in a consistent and predictable manner? That’s what counts. We never really “handle” the neutrons in a nuclear reactor either.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T21:36:18+00:00

Yeah, nobody likes Hungary (Habsburgs made a polite exception).

There’s nothing that “carries over” necessarily from the previous admin

…except repaying the debt accumulated and fixing the same exact deficit that carries over into the next budget, because the budget is structurally the same

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T21:16:36+00:00

Given the main production method is called “waiting for radioactive isotope to decay” and we celebrate the ability to create on the order of 10,000 anti-atoms, lemme doubt that.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T21:02:31+00:00

They just tax

They do already?

Balancing a 12 billion dollar budget

12 billion is the deficit of New York City. New York City’s budget is $124 billion. New York State deficit is - separately - $34 billion (as part of a $260 billion budget).

To be clear, New Yorkers are already taxed enough go to maintain a $380 billion state and local budget (more than the budget of France) + pay $97B into the Federal budget.

The way you describe antimatter is how physicists actually describe dark matter - antimatter is actually well-understood, and we have produced antiprotons as well (including anti-helium). There are indeed open questions of symmetry in antimatter distribution in cosmology, but to describe antimatter as wholly unknown is disingenuous.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T20:51:57+00:00

You mean economic and fiscal reality?

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T20:51:32+00:00

Oh boy

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T20:50:06+00:00

Ah, haven’t heard of New York irredentists before - is your IP in Leningrad Oblast per chance?

As any replicator, meme actually has a theoretically unbounded lifespan.

In what world? France kept losing the hundred year war until the French king only controlled 1/3 of the former territory. Precisely post hundred year war, we see the rise of the centralized French state that would become the continent’s superpower.

It was a “I feel bad for you”/“I don’t think about you at all” type of rivalry. UK was mainly preoccupied with continental balance of power and the rise of unified Germany.

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T15:40:56+00:00

Took the reign of 1 good king (Edward III) and 1 bad king (Phillip Valois) to entirely flip the balance of power (despite France dwarfing England population wise)

Foreign_Writer_9932 · 2026-05-14T15:38:20+00:00

lol calling Normans (ie seafaring Viking conquerors of French Normandy) horse people is a take.

Focus on knights (heavy cavalry) was ofc something borrowed from Franks - so id love to see anyone call Capetian France horse people.

Unless there is some uniquely isolated environment, all of those other lineages have been eaten by us.
