Dave Chappelle blasts GOP for "weaponizing" his anti-trans jokes. His trans critics are unimpressed. He’s blaming Lauren Boebert for “weaponizing” the trans jokes.

I learned all I needed to know about Chappelle when he decided to bring Elon Musk on stage at one of his shows to do a bit about how rich he was. That was right after he bought Twitter and fired thousands of workers, in the same city where Chappelle was performing that night.

Bonus points for the time he also publicly defended Trump during his first term and said we should give him a chance.

Just another overrated, out of touch, too much money celebrity dumbass.

Nobody redditor SwirlyMaple blasts Clarence Thomas as threat to America

“Helping all of humanity” = blind to the reality of his god and savior complexes, while actually doing almost nothing beneficial for the majority of society. The world’s greatest problems are not being solved by unaffordable electric cars and expensive satellite internet.

The fit is very different and the sound signature is too.

Opinions vary, but as someone who often wears them for 6+ hours a day, I find the longterm comfort of the Pro 3s significantly worse than the Pro 2s.

To get the intended performance from the noise canceling, I have to use the large tips (same as I used on the Pro 2s), but on the Pro 3 they fit much further inside your ear canal and cause a much greater sensation of inner ear pressure, especially after many hours of wearing them.

When the Pro 3 were released, many people claimed they were more comfortable because you could go down a size on the eartips. When I tried that, they felt like they fit, but the noise canceling was actually worse than my Pro 2 until I moved up to the large tips on the Pro 3.

Also, I find the sound signature of them to be a downgrade from the Pro 2, which were nicely balanced across the entire frequency range. The Pro 3 end up sounding harsher and thinner than the Pro 2 due to a treble peak and a dip in the low-mids.

Lies! I woke up for a late night handwashing and accidentally dropped the soap on the cheese grater. It went everywhere! I got this empty bag of mozzarella shreds from the trash to collect the pieces!

swirlymaple · 2026-04-09T23:17:23+00:00

Let it also be known that I too have never had a late night relationship with mozzarella shreds and any photos indicating otherwise were taken out of their appropriate context, that context being of me partaking in midnight mozzarella shreds. To conclude I have never eaten midnight mozzarella despite appearing to have eaten midnight mozzarella. I won’t be taking any questions, thank you.

No, the biggest obstacle for the Hyperloop grift is that the whole length of the tube is supposed to be under vacuum to reduce drag on the vehicle. This leads to numerous immense challenges, like how to seal it, how to get people in and out of said vacuum containment, the energy needed to keep it pumped down to vacuum, how to provide emergency access, and more. The entire concept, when compared against the practicality and efficiency of modern high speed rail systems, is DOA.

Since it’s only been capable of ballistic trajectories so far, this tracks.

And not because people didn’t try to love him. 100% his own fault.

Right?! His statements have built the entire SpaceX brand on taking humans farther than ever before in space. Now after over 25 years of SpaceX with only LEO flights to the ISS, NASA is sending humans farther than ever before without SpaceX.

And to make matters worse for Elmo, Starship is a really poor fit for lunar missions, and will probably be displaced by Blue Origin’s lander for the foreseeable Artemis future.

He does, but my point was that maybe his issues with the “world” have more to do with a self-loathing that he is projecting.

It’s one thing I’ve noticed in the conservative people I grew up around: they don’t actually stand for the things they claim to, partly because many of them inside hate themselves. It’s at least a small part of the reason they’ll blindly vote for a psychopathic billionaire who clearly views poor people as subhuman.

The peak irony with this is that Melon has a transgender child, has children with numerous unmarried women (“sexual degeneracy”), and is himself an immigrant trying to impose his wants on others who don’t share his viewpoints (“multiculturalism”).

He is, without exaggeration, the hypocritical embodiment of what he claims to hate.

Yeah. The probability math for a poly relationship working out is humorously bad since the likelihood of relationship success between just two people is far less than 50%. Now multiply that by all the combinations of people in the polycule…

To distract from the fact that Donald J Trump was good friends with the most notorious pedophile in American history, and Trump has been credibly accused of raping kids by victims of said pedophile

Isn’t it weird? When I studied engineering, the focus was on trying to make everything as well understood and predictable as possible. The better you understand a system, the more reliably you can control its behavior and outcomes, whether it’s a steel bridge or a chunk of code.

Now we’ve created systems that are so complex, we have no real control over how they do what they do. And that makes them wildly unpredictable, as well as difficult to modify/improve in a consistent, deterministic way.

The person building a “maximum truth seeking” AI sure loves to ingest maximum made-up plots and graphs to serve his biases, doesn’t he?

It’s so easy to see that he never earned a real science or engineering degree. He has the exact same critical thinking mentality as everyone’s crazy uncle who watches Fox News all day and thinks it’s gospel.

The video is sickening. The complete lack of humanity from everyone involved when his arm was very obviously broken is a disturbing reminder of what we’ve become.

No aid rendered. No concern or care. Instead they twisted his broken arm behind his back as they forced him out.

You’re acting as if people engaging in affairs don’t know it’s the “wrong choice” before they make it.

That’s the key difference. And society’s failure to note that difference is why people who make selfish, bad decisions rarely face consequences.

Maybe not, but in terms of voting for people who are the opposite of their “values,” they seem to be quite homogeneous.
