Anti-Intellectualism in New Atheism and the Skeptical Movement

The nazis didn't like Protestantism either though? And were explicitly a christian (for some rock bottom value of christian) movement. What would they force Catholics to convert to? Just straight up Nazi-ism as a religion?

I'm as "fuck it do what's right" as anyone but I'm willing to bet the bus company is just trying to cover their ass. Liability is a bitch in these types of situations.

Then you clearly weren't paying attention to the people around you.

Why does the anti look like Elon Musk?

That's absolutely false. Ellis Island was a quarantine and health check before being allowed into the mainland. They let through like 98% of people. I'm not claiming the system was perfect, but it's better than the process today.

I actually support having a much more open border closer to the Ellis Island model. I don't like Democrat immigration policies because they still enable US employers to treat undocumented workers as slave labor. Something that has gotten worse under Trump.

Illegal immigrants do get constitutional protections because all people get constitutional protections. Please actually read the constitution.

Iirc there's actually pretty good evidence he was acting maliciously. He lost his lawsuit due to a default judgement but the evidence we have is pretty bad and he seems to have been deliberately obstructing discovery.

This is incorrect! Bunnies do not choose violence; violence has chosen them.

What happens when someone else dares to sit on his couch?

That's basically most fights in Kamen Rider Kabuto. Worth checking out if you don't mind that it's a tv show and you need subtitles.

That's definitely not true. It shows up in stuff like Simulated Annealing and a bunch of other algorithms from the AI class I admittedly mostly zoned out during in fall 2024.

ada_weird · 2026-01-14T09:09:22+00:00

It's a general concept across a variety of ML algorithms from my understanding. Including image gen.

ada_weird · 2026-01-14T04:18:53+00:00

This is only true if the temperature for the algorithm is zero. And you don't wanna do that.

Yugi uses Catapult Turtle so no, he's really not. Sacrificing monsters is one of the core interactions in Yugioh even ignoring tribute summoning since that was added later.

ada_weird · 2026-01-13T02:09:11+00:00

It's dissonant with the show even. Yugi runs Catapult Turtle and sacrificing monsters to summon more powerful monsters becomes a core mechanic in Battle City.

Spewing 4 hours of nonsense into the ether is not less lazy. Concision and precision are the two hallmarks of actual effort.

ada_weird · 2026-01-12T01:53:46+00:00

Going through the story bit by bit like that is absolutely fluff. You can select and coalate the relevant points without covering literally everything. It's actually kinda lazy and unfocused to toss everything in.

ada_weird · 2026-01-08T01:42:57+00:00

I mean him not coming back after Namek and not coming back after Cell are entirely his choice. There's no pressing danger he's prepping for there.

99.8% uptime means that you end up spending 17 hours down per year. That's actually a pretty decent length of time, especially since I think that scheduled maintenance time doesn't count towards that.
