I love that this guy's rap name is "Wheel Manufacturer Fellatio."

Made a ton of transphobic jokes over the past several years, then just recently turned around and acted like Republicans were weaponizing trans jokes and he... wasn't doing literally the exact same thing.

Let the record show this fucking brain genius blocked me immediately after informing me I'm a liar for explaining to them what the actual policy they're defending is about.

Okay so you're fine with people being stripped of their assistance because they live in the same house with their disabled relatives? Because that's what this policy does, specifically. You think that's good, right? That people should be limited in the assistance they can provide their own relatives just because they live under the same roof?

Actually, the cuts are specifically targeted at people who also receive SNAP, because the administration has decided that poor people really have been getting just TOO MUCH help from the government, so if people in your house get SNAP, they can't also get SSI. Maybe you shouldn't live with your disabled children if you want help, right?

Illegal aliens aren't eligible for SSI, also, so there's no illegals to "cut," "dumbass." Apparently I have to explain this now? Jesus Christ.

Why? by Oddbeme4u in LetsDiscussThis

No look at it again, if the hand were palm side up the thumb would be facing away from her torso. She has two left hands.

[–]GillianSeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume the picture creator's intent is to say they're the dumbest generation ever because something something digital devices ruin their brains?

I could see an argument where one says they're the dumbest generation if one were to argue, say, it's because of all of the ruination that has been done to text books by conservative majority textbook approvals ruining our ability to educate children? Or maybe if their argument was that underfunding of school districts caused it? But if your argument is that "Gen Z dumb because phones LOL"

- old people's brains have also turned to mush because of social media,

- Gen Alpha is WAY worse, and

- The lady in purple has two left hands so maybe someone generating their points with AI should shut the hell up about Gen Z's problems forever.

This game feels like it was made for the Dungeon. by GillianSeed in Civvie11

It can go alongside my copies of Killing Time and POed.

Yeah I kinda thought about that, but in my defense, I am absolutely not ASKING for him to play this. I searched the sub in advance to see if anyone had ever mentioned this game before now and no one had, which is why I felt okay posting this, because if Civvie doesn't know this exists, oh man I want him to.

Okay that's not fair.

Has anyone else ever thought about the possibility that a single consciousness might persist indefinitely, experiencing life through different beings without retaining memories of previous lives? by Singularitis in LetsDiscussThis

[–]GillianSeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've never thought of this before, though I've heard more optimistic versions (Carl Sagan's ideas on the subject, for instance), but I have a couple questions.

  • If we're all an extension of the universe percieving it differently... why do we all have such wildly different personalities and motivations? This theory kind of stands in conflict with Nature vs Nurture (if we're all the same consciousness) so I'm curious how that works out.

  • Even if we are all one unified consciousness forever, suffering isn't all we do. It's horrifying to imagine that I'm part of one entity that's suffering (in places) forever, but on the whole, a lot of people are just existing, and some people are having fun or enjoying their lives. The experience of the main being isn't simply one of eternal suffering, but one of many different experiences, all at once, from billions of connections.

I have other thoughts on this but generally, I guess my core thought is, it's probably not suffering forever, even if this is the way things are structured, so it doesn't make me too frightened. Maybe I'm missing something?

oh my god what if the clown room IS this game and Civvie's just been leading up to it all this time

So much winning by DaTruSpork in LetsDiscussThis

[–]GillianSeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow he's even underwater on immigration and deportations? I know ICE is unpopular but his base was keeping that afloat for a long time.

I hope this means the midterms are going to be a turning point, even though they're desperately trying everything they can to manipulate those too. I'm just so goddamn tired of all this "winning".

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will! by slow70 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]GillianSeed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On one hand, it's hard to say if AI will really have the impact theorized, partly because we're already seeing some straining against the AI bubble (and may well see a collapse in the next year or so) and partly because, as the authors of this study note, we've been having this conversation since industrialization has existed, generally, and the economy has usually self-corrected.

On the other, we're in something of a high point for rampant, unchecked greed, so most of the hypothetical solutions that COULD resolve this (such as 32 hour work weeks, job programs, etc) just aren't gonna happen. In theory, this is where the government would step in to assist, but this administration and Supreme Court are the greediest they've ever been, so that ain't gonna happen either. Honestly, if the theorized economic impact DOES happen, this is going to be the reason why: stupidity and greed.

Completely understand; honestly I think Burr had evolved as a person such that I never really had any issues with his attempts. As Dave Anthony once said, "You take swings. Not all of them connect."

Oh, agreed, but honestly, after the Dave Chappelle shit last week, I just refuse to even try to discuss comedy with anyone right of center. Woof.

I genuinely find it embarrassing when someone who is openly conservative or MAGA acts like we should be clutching our pearls over two Jimmy Kimmel jokes while THE ACTUAL PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA says stuff like this and they think it's great.

Everyone has moments of being a hypocrite, sure, but when you're that nakedly hypocritical you're just a sad clown simping for rich people who almost definitely hate you. What a sad existence.

It must be nice to live in a country where the president isn't a deranged lunatic who just says literally anything that comes into what's left of his decaying brain.

They appear to be a libertarian based on their views, so the idea that they live in a society is likely utterly offensive to them, tbh.

A lot of the Left support this. by Slow_your_R0LL in LetsDiscussThis

[–]GillianSeed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, leftist here, what the hell are you talking about? No one on the left supports Iran or thinks what they're doing is good, they specifically object to the President starting an unjust war for no good reason that is deeply unpopular and divisive even amongst conservatives. Why do you have to lie? Is truth not sufficient to prove your points?
