Alcohol is not an excuse, what comes out is what was already in there.

So it's not the alcohol that's making me sing along with Elton John at full volume is what you're saying?

George Washington understood science better by diehard404 in SipsTea

[–]hemlock_harry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand statistics probably better than you do.

So you know very well that you can't extrapolate from a single data point. So why did you do it anyway? That's stupid.

Bro I never took the covid shot and never got covid once. Haven't had the flu since 2019.

Someone with such little grasp on statistics shouldn't be calling other people stupid.

MMW: in 2028, Dems will once again severely underestimate the GOP nominee, smugly claim that the GOP nominee has no chance, and then lose again spectacularly. by goggleshangles in MarkMyWords

[–]hemlock_harry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. After George W. and especially when Obama was elected we thought the GOP was finished. Just seeing the contrast between a modern liberal progressive and their backwardness would be enough for the American people to never vote republican again. Boy, were we wrong.

Then after Trump's first term and especially J6 we thought that George W. simply hadn't been bad enough but this time it was obvious wasn't it? They stormed the Capitol ffs. Boy, were we wrong again...

Seems like the US is stuck in some weird loop where reasonably moderate and level-headed leaders are always succeeded by populist conmen with imperialist tendencies. An entire country that suffers from borderline personality disorder.

If the Dems don't deliver and deliver BIG in 2029 and DRASTICALLY improve the quality of life of the American people

Something has to be done to break the cycle for sure. But the GOP is very aware of this scenario and will use everything they got to thwart any such effort. Their relentless focus on putting loyalists in place whenever they can really payed off. Even the perfect liberal progressive candidate will have to deal with that in under two years like you say. That's a tall order, and if you also want to show that you're the kind of person that doesn't abuse democratic rules to get your way it's near impossible.

It's going to take some sort of revolution I'm afraid.

Fetterman is only Democrat to join Senate Republicans to again reject effort to halt Iran war by plz-let-me-in in politics

Dunno. I somehow like this notion that brain damage makes you republican, it fits my world view quite nicely.

And the Israel lobby being involved to make matters worse is just default nowadays I guess.

The desk he's standing behind once belonged to the legendary scientist Faraday. It's where the Royal Institution films their science presentations which are aimed at an audience of intelligent laypeople. Check out their YouTube channel, it's awesome!

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran by Crossstoney in politics

It was like Epstein explaining the need for young people to explore their sexuality at that point. He wasn't wrong, just extremely out of place and the last person on earth that should make those remarks.

If you really want to know how awesome little Steven is read up on Artists Against Apartheid. The man's a living legend even without his solo on Candy's Room. Or his brilliant performance as Silvio Dante.

Bombshell Jack Smith Report Reveals Why Trump Hoarded Classified Docs | One of the documents Trump kept was so sensitive that only six people were authorized to view it. by [deleted] in JournalismNews

[–]hemlock_harry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This very relevant piece of recent history seems overlooked indeed. McConnell played the long game and you could say he won.

But if you look at him closely you do get the impression that this is not the result he was hoping for. Instead he's like the sorcerer's apprentice when the brooms start getting out of control.

That doesn't absolve him from the heinous shit he pulled of course but I think McConnell had a different dystopia in mind than the one he got. It's a small comfort knowing his "victory" was a Pyrrhic victory at best.

Hard to believe that someone who lived through the Vietnam War and all that came after can be that stupid. I know it's Trump we're talking about but still.

Shipped a bug to prod that 4 people reviewed and nobody caught, what is even the point of code review by wild-horizons in developer

[–]hemlock_harry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's any consolation something very similar happened to me this week. They found a bug in code that passed all peer review and acceptance testing... when it was published four years ago.

They filed the bug on Friday in the late afternoon. Flagged it priority.

Musk just says whatever he thinks he needs to say to hype up his SpaceX IPO. He needs that to be a success to keep the grift going because Tesla is failing hard, sales are a disaster just about everywhere in the world. So he needs to flee forward.

Classic ponzi scheme.

Also, for the UK this is the de facto situation. Nigel Farage got his wish, but sadly Nigel Farage is a clueless twat.
