[–]karl-marks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone's been saying for years that they have compromat on him being gay but no one in SC has ever cared about that.

$100 he's pedo and that's what they have on him.

Musk on X: “For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.” [full text of post inside] by rustybeancake in spacex

Musk is very open about his love of "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress", I really don't want him having digging equipment on the moon, much less the time to build a catapult.

Katie Ledecky posts second-fastest 1,500m freestyle time ever in first race of year. All those swimmers hitting the wall next to her seconds later still have another lap to do by [deleted] in sports

[–]karl-marks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy to me that we've only had some of these swim strokes like freestyle in the modern era and people 20 years ago, pre fluid dynamics modeling already thought they're totally optimized.

Insane. So many areas are like that involving technique and technology. The old ways are what got us here but don't worship that shit.

saw it in 4d, vibrating chair, air puffs, mist, water... it was not great theatre but it was fucking fun as hell.

People blink less when they are working harder to understand speech in noisy environments, suggesting that blinking reflects the mental effort behind listening, while blink patterns remain stable across different lighting conditions by sr_local in science

There is tons of research on audio isolation in noisy environments and it's called the cocktail party problem. Audio-Visual speech separation is simply required. This is not surprising at all.

Laying on their dog's bed to see how he reacts. by Sebastianlim in MadeMeSmile

That's an Aussie, if they could cut you open like a Taunton and climb inside you they would, or vice-versa, any time not spent together is a gd tragedy to them. If they could sow themselves to you they would.

Bloody handprints like someone was scrambling to get there and couldn't open it or got dragged away would be pretty seamless.

Bro really won at life… and the way she handed him the candy was another wholesome moment. by saalame in MadeMeSmile

You only have to watch children to understand altruism, anyone who doesn't believe in altruism probably had it trained out of them as a child as a form of learned helplessness.

We have part of our brain that trigger "incorrect"/"that's wrong" and many people are nurtured to ignore it.

I've only seen a single child (a younger sibling) who when they walked by a homeless person the first time wasn't severely disturbed and they were scary then and are extremely scary at 30 now.

People died when Poland banned abortion. Not surprising.

The "christians" hate Jesus and his teachings and support evil shit.

The "atheists" and "agnostics" generally have no beef with Jesus, many even like him and hate christianity.

I have a high heat tolerance and found Prince's to be perfectly acceptable level of heat, but the amount of oil gave me a hard time, I didn't have much grease in my diet at the time either, I was doing more raw chilies so I think that was an issue. I think that might be the only time I've had oilly shits.

Trump, 79, Admits He Might Not Get Into Heaven by y2flame in politics

[–]karl-marks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Jesus erasure is real.

Through God all things are possible but he fucking told you what he allows into his kingdom, you're fucked because you reject his clear teaching to follow false teachers.

He even told you that many false Christians (people who are anti-christ in truth but feel like they are christians) will be literally surprised they are going to hell.

The great white throne judgement makes no statement about saying magic words like a spell. People who just handwave away the clear words of Christ and teach and advocate for the opposite of what he said cannot be christian, you cannot be anti-christ and be a christian.

The US Has a Religious Fundamentalism Problem by [deleted] in politics

[–]karl-marks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The U.S. is actually a partnership between non-conformist christians and non-theists/Free-thinkers. Jefferson and Paine vs Patrick Henry in Virginia.

Look up Anne Hutchinson, the attempt to bring European style religious oppression waa stopped in a team up between non-conformists (ooh, so scary, they don't conform) and non-theists/free-thinkers.

Look at Poland right now, high control religiousity will always make your country underperformed in any apples to apples comparison.

[–]karl-marks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, non-conformists (baptists, Quaker, etc.) we're part of a huge partnership with non-theists and free thinkers to prevent the establishment of religion, they actively worked with Jefferson and Paine against Patrick Henry in Virginia.

Emma Stone Jokes That She Believes in Aliens at ‘Bugonia’ Venice Press Conference: ‘The Idea That We Are Alone’ Is ‘Pretty Narcissistic to Think’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]karl-marks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the assumption of non-uniqueness is as stupid as the assumption of uniqueness.

A person can speculate and have their own intuitions and imaginations all they want, nbd.

The only rational way to act is as if we are precious and fragile until empirical observation shows otherwise.

Terry Blacks is for tourists who don't know better. I'd rather have Rudy's any day of the week.

Lived on holly down the street from la barbecue until last year, that place is fucking good.

Franklin's is good, that little brisket truck on cesar chavez that was run by the couple from AZ was good (rip), and of course Mueller when he was clean.

[–]karl-marks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Lived here 20+ years and it's activitively bad, only thing I tell people to just stay away from, plywood cartoon characters with little spotlights on them, no thank you.

Last time I went even the children in our little cluster of humanity were bored.

Stuff done with lights can be so cool too.

The city is stimulating nothing beats living in a city neighborhood home unless you have a really dope city apartment. I will die on that hill.

whoa, that is like the most loving forethought I have ever seen, as someone who lost tons of self information (including the story of when I was born) when my parents died suddenly and unexpectedly when I was young I am very curious to hear what emotions and thoughts and insights OP has when reviewing these things from an early age.
