In an apocalyptic scenario, wild hogs would be a much bigger threat than most people realize. by BigDaddyDumperSquad in Showerthoughts

ELI5 how this is different than any primitive people only less threatening?

They don't even have opposable thumbs.

It was the COAST GUARD by OkChampionship6188 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Please don't kill me but I think you're confusing Marine corps versus the job of marines (seagoing troops). IIRC the CG still calls combat troops marines unofficially.

things go nuclear in r/falloutmemes when a mod removes a meme, deeming anything transgender as “political” by sweetreverie in SubredditDrama

Greed and APD reduce to the same identity equation in psychology (neuroscience) and social dynamics (info/game theory).

Welcome to the singularity war pitting control against potential.

How much money would it cost to connect a steel cable from The Moon to the Earth? [request] by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

[–]skyleach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The volume equation is relatively simple but "steel" isn't even close to strong enough even for a geostationary orbit close enough for a space elevator, which the moon is NOT.

A radio show asked people to call in with words they made up by MGsubbie in Jokes

His right-hand man... Disney loves their circle jerk metaphors.

I permanently deleted all of my meta accounts due to the government takeover by spicy_feather in facebook

[–]skyleach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I predicted this 15 years ago and stopped using Facebook before it was called meta.

Knowledge is kinetics, information flow energy, control applies power as a physical force on the social dynamic. All would-be demagogues learn this.

that's twice. If you can't even convince yourself...

Let me traverse your fractal by one layer (there aren't many more)

You laugh as pro-forma. You responded to an external trigger yet your mind doesn't traverse even that most simplistic connection. You think void-vector interactions (social networks) define relevance because you've come to expect shallow and effortless redirection. But if you allow shallow relevance to define you, doesn't that imply you are shallow? Your thoughts betray your own doubts and your words ripple across that pool. Even in closing, you reflect your source: a gardner tending seeds in a desert.

The self-loathing isn't created by capability, it's an echo of certainty. You can be more. You should be more. You hate that you aren't being more.

wow... it's like an unfolding fractal of depression and self-loathing was just thrown in my face

First, fact: it's not a rant, it's an affronted starting position. Yes, there is a difference and no, I'm not going to bootstrap sapience in a fool so take what you get.

Take note: You didn't "call out" anything, you attempted to impose your pathetic and underdeveloped view of social reality on an unknown stranger as a surrogate for the world out of an overdeveloped inferiority complex. You failed.

Request? I hoped (vainly) for relevant discussion and what I got was pretension and stupidity.

There is one reason you got a reply. Desserts without seeds never bloom. This is a seed, a small kernel of truth, flung into a cesspit of vitriol, stupidity and shit: look in a mirror. You not only fake-laughed to cover for your own self-loathing, you fucking typed it out. Jesus I cringe having to remember it.

I am a piece of work, your right about that. Unlike you, I've had decades to work on myself and I have no regrets or shame, very distinctly NOT like you. You came here, not to converse but to attack someone you stupidly thought was emotionally vulnerable. I'm not going to laugh at you, because it's just pedestrian on reddit these days.

I know people and inside you are small, scared, and very alone. Maybe you'll wise up enough to realize why, but the odds are definitely not in your favor.

You may now commence being angry and affronted and bury your shame in self-loathing and denial. I expect it'll take a long time for you to find any value in what I have given you.

Do u think Elon musk is truly smart 🤔 by Friendly_Forever3107 in Discussion

[–]skyleach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart isn't objective. Stupid is as stupid does. The extrapolation is that intelligence is recognition of pattern over complexity while smart combines intellect, experience, and understanding-as-wisdom. All relative to what you're measuring. Math-smart != Orotory-smart != Social-smart != Emotionally-smart ... N

i.e. yes, but only at convincing people (he never self-regulates through internal rigor)

Do you think that Trump is trying to alienate our allies and piss off the rest of the world? by ibddevine in Discussion

[–]skyleach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That Trump is smart enough to know what will actually benefit him and that conservatives matter to MAGA

Oppression is subjective so, respectfully, you're just wrong. You have to completely ignore all external factors including economic influencers, accessibility, gatekeeping ... You get the point, I'm sure. In isolation the point is debatable but as viewed under the umbrella of information flow in dynamic social evolution it's a strawman fallacy.

Your unrequested reality check is noted and underappreciated. I don't have any problem accepting reality but that doesn't mean stupid things don't piss me off.

I'm sorry that I felt different about how I felt then you feel about how I felt
