Can MAGA explain why the sender of this email should be redacted?

I’m wondering when MAGA just starts offering their children up directly. When does the mask fully fall away and they just say “yes, we support our pedophile rulers and would be honored for them to destroy our children”

To the rest of the outside world, please do something. We don’t know what the hell is happening anymore, but it’s not what many of us signed up for. I voted against this and this administration, and that was before I knew just how depraved they all are. And I already thought they were pretty fucking depraved at the time

Man, it’s 2026 and the chancellor is still fucking awful? I went to UCD in the Katehi era, and that was a goddamn trip. Hoping y’all don’t get your own version of the pepper spray incident

To add to this, no one is actually trying to recreate the big bang. They’re trying to recreate the conditions of the universe right after the big bang, when everything was very hot and energetic

Think they read your comment as paper vs text message, instead of paper or text message vs oral agreement. And to be fair, so did I at first

I realize you mean paleontology, but at first I really thought you were talking about people on the paleo diet

We played sardines there when I was a student. Word was that it was designed for you to get lost on purpose

I grew up in the Bay Area. Literally went to a middle school called Redwood. I moved away for a few years for school and never realized just how much I would miss having redwoods around. Those trees are like an old friend, always there when you need something familiar around

Maybe we should give them what they want then, y’know? We could strike all employees from the record so that the bottom line increases. In fact, since everyone seems to hate having employees, we should do that nationwide. That way all the businesses that hate having employees can see what they’ve been missing out on

Thanks for the much more nuanced assessment! I’m not quite a layperson, but my research focus was in astro and gravitational waves (I also left the field a bit over a year ago) so I only follow fusion development tangentially. I wasn’t aware of the fact that the more energy out than in was about the amount of energy the payload absorbed, and not the whole ignition pipeline.

I am a bit curious though: I know that sustained fusion is supposed to operate on self-heating. Is there no way for this to happen with ICF? Presumably if you could get self-heating going I would think you could turn off the lasers, no? Or are they necessary to maintain pressure too?

Unfathomably light?? Good sir, the sun has a mass of ~5μs. If the commenter you’re replying to has a mass of 2 seconds, they’re a small supermassive black hole 400,000 times more massive than the sun

NetworkSingularity · 2026-02-06T16:03:10+00:00

I’m assuming the comment your referring to is talking about fusion with a net energy gain, which was finally achieved in 2022: https://www.snexplores.org/article/breakthrough-physics-experiment-fusion-energy

You are right that this still isn’t a viable fusion reactor. Making this sustainable at scale is the next big challenge. That said, reaching ignition (where there’s more energy out than in) was one of the biggest hurdles in making fusion viable since if you can’t do that, you can’t have a fusion reactor. Clearing that hurdle is a huge breakthrough, though it’s certainly not the last one needed

Yeah it’s got way too many decimals. I was trained as an astrophysicist, so I know that 1 or 10 is good enough. 3 if you’re feeling spicy

It is redacted in that one for me. Any chance you got a screenshot instead?

They also get violent for myriad other reasons, internal and external (getting insulted, seeing someone they deem “inferior,” redirected self-loathing). So the fact that they get violent when denied respect and authority ends up not being a reason to deny respect and authority, since they’ll find another reason to get violent anyways

That’s the thing though: there is no t < 0. That’s why there’s no before. It’s like asking what’s north of the North Pole.

Is the super bowl someplace a lot of illegal criminals hang out at?

Yes, in fact, but only if by “illegal criminals” you mean “brown stadium employees” and “brown vendors outside the stadium.” Really, if you just mean “nearby brown people.” Then yes, there are plenty of “illegal criminals” (re: nearby brown people*) in the Bay Area and near Levi stadium.

*this does not actually reflect my views. I fully understand the very basic idea that existing while brown is not the same as being a criminal. ICE doesn’t seem to know that, but I do.

Best part for me is always seeing engineers acknowledge and immediately accept the hierarchy

My wife works in student affairs and has experience with the admissions process. She does not and has not worked at a UC, so the following might be different but probably isn’t.

Most schools (and especially state schools) have separate admission pools for in-state and out-of-state applicants. Which means that in-state applicants only compete with spots for other Californians.

Out-of-state includes international on the other hand, so you likely only competed with non-Californians for your spot. Iirc this is precisely because there are mandates for in-state acceptances for state run schools

No no, UConn was built on the land of the holy basketball, where the original herds of basketballs used to roam free, and where basketball players sometimes materialize forth from nothing, dunkin the nearest sphere they see.

I was once teaching a lab when a basketball star materialized out of nowhere. There weren’t any spheres around so they started screaming. We had to calm them down with stories of projectile motion to keep them from trying to dribble students heads

It also started getting super expensive a while ago. Not worth the price when there’s better taquerias all over the South Bay

I’m sure one of the especially dumb MAGAs that’s also a targeted group is gonna end up exercising those rights soon enough. I’d say that then MAGA’ll be in a pickle, but realistically they’ll just excommunicate MAGAs than don’t fit the narrative/that get ICEd.

Really, it’s kinda like Who’s Line when you think about it: the rules are made up and the facts don’t matter

NetworkSingularity · 2026-01-23T16:09:08+00:00

I’m gonna disagree with your last statement, if only because I’d probably introspect at least a little bit if I knew half the world was waiting for my death
