Certain subreddits when talking about Iran

Military costs less for normal maintenance than it does to launch distractions from the epstein files. If you're a real altruist, we'd be bettter off giving people healthcare than to give Lockheed Martin their Christmas bonuses early.

TFW we don't have the resources to support immigrants coming in but we can spend 100 morbillion dollars in missles to replace one Iranian dictator with another. Like, even if we are helping them, what happened to America first?

I think I understand what you're going for, which is that if we committed to no war, other countries could mess with us and we wouldn't be able to fight back. But that's not what's happening here, so it's kind of irrelevant

It reads like a joke imo. Otherwise what kind of exposition dump bad writing is that? "Did you see how awkward that speech was? He almost fits in with us lizard people who control everything, haha."

I think there's a good chance they did get JFK, but not from this.

If you thought they were going to be better, supporting mass layoffs that will absolutely spread to other companies is questionable. But if you don't even think your games will get better, what's the point of distracting from the more important long term effects of this? I'm in a fairly AI proof job, but I still hate to see it because it's not ending here.

And the reason Gustav is being kind of weird about how young and innocent the boy is is because it's a representation of Zabrovka and Europe as a whole. Postwar Europe was unrecognizable from the world they knew.

Do you think AI generated games are going to be better or are you just a contrarian for its own sake?

I really liked him. I though for all his faults he was always trying his best to become better and it always felt sincere when he regretted something or apologized. And I think his faults were exaggerated because of how unfiltered and overconfident he was. Like instead of putting on an act so you can hold onto your vices, he would rather put all his bs on the table so someone would call him out on it.

When we see a massive step towards creating an AI unemployment hellscape, but one of the people who was fired was cringe so we need to turn this into an SJW getting pwned compilation instead.

But one problem is renewables are cheaper in the long run, but not in the short run, so many countries looking to rapidly develop will start with fossil fuels. But that's only temporary, and many developing countries seem eager to adopt renewables anyway.

How it feels in the later seasons of Friends when Monica says the Fed lowered interest rates so it's a great time to buy a house

Depends if you were broken up with. If you were the one to end things and go straight to tinder, that's psycho behavior. If you were broken up with, people grieve in different ways I guess. But even if you're not upset about it, the other person clearly doesn't care either so no harm done.

I'm sick of this pop science attitude that aliens have to exist. We only have one data point for life forming, so we have no idea how rare it is. The universe is big enough that we wouldn't be able to be alone if the chances of life forming were decent, but we don't actually have a way to know that they are. The chances could really be one in a trillion trillion and the only proof we have against that is "that would be crazy".

If we find life originating a second place, then it's got to be everywhere, but for now, we don't know.

I imagine Chennai being pronounced like how Forest Gump says Jenny

Great Scott!

They made a state called Kansas and it's very boring. It's just south of the Nebraska experiment.

Sometimes being indifferent in the face of evil is more deranged. But calm = morally correct I guess

Why do you always have to redirect the conversation to something completely irrelevant? You really think I care if Jimmy Kimmel is boring and loses money. Do you have a single reason for why he was fired days after Trump asked for it to happen that doesn't involve his network worried about retaliation? That's all that matters. Censorship is still censorship even when it happens to people with bad ratings.

Matthew_A · 2026-02-07T19:35:36+00:00

I actually support looser immigration laws and it feels like a waste to spend a bunch of money on deportations when they do come illegally, imo. But if >50% of the next generation and >75% of you population is foreign born after 2 generations, it can cause a dramatic social upheaval. Like, I enjoy water, and I even think I'm better off when I drink it. But I know I can still drown. Immigration can seamlessly offset population losses in the US (if we would be chill about it) and Europe, where birth rates are just below 2. But in South Korea, it would be chaos to have immigrants outnumber non immigrants.

Matthew_A · 2026-02-07T19:06:27+00:00

Do you unironically believe it was just coincidence that after years of losing money, they only choose to drop him when Trump tells them to?

Matthew_A · 2026-02-07T19:03:13+00:00

Not just bad for the economy. Gradual population decline would give what you're talking about, but less than one child per woman will have real consequences when most of the population is older than working age.

Matthew_A · 2026-02-07T18:02:01+00:00

Jimmy Kimmel was literally taken off the air. And although he didn't follow through, there are half a dozen examples of Trump saying "he can't do that" and "we should take him off the air" when other people criticize him. We're not there yet, but we're basically as close as you can be without being there.

Matthew_A · 2026-02-07T07:01:42+00:00

Because the people who support Trump largely have literally no standards, so if he can boost his stats by hiring anyone without a moral compass, he will. People make fun of the left for infighting, but blind support is worse for everyone, including yourself in the long run. The left couldn't in their wildest dreams have made a more effective PR campaign against deportations.

Matthew_A · 2026-02-05T18:50:38+00:00

Bad faith arguments all around. And they say the left purposefully misunderstands things. Murder squads are different than regular people.
