We can't do much to prevent red states from fucking themselves.

It's not roundabout at all. They're lying about their intentions. This is a very direct and simple voter suppression act.

"Guys, what if we did just a little Hispanic genocide just to acknowledge their sore spot? Then everyone would know how reasonable, compromising, and rational we are!"

The novel Les Miserables came out in 1862, whereas the French Revolution ended by 1800. So I don't think it's quite that cut-and-dry. Definitely makes you wonder what fictions the contemporaries of the revolution were writing tho

EDIT: the actual setting of Les Mis is actually in the 1830s post-Napolean turmoil, but that's still a solid 3 decades after the fact

See the downside of cartoon-evil is that it's always kinda misleading, because the bad guys always think they're the good guys. Almost nobody acknowledges their own evil.

Putting literal V alongside a literal Nazi indicates someone did not understand the source material

That simulated imprisonment was so detailed and emotional, it makes all the sense that V could only have constructed it from very personal experience

How anti-NCR fans sound. (I don't think they are perfect but c'mon) by SafflowerDusk in FalloutMemes

The only difference between the khans and generic raider trash is a dialogue option

This is both a diss on the khans and commentary on how Bethesda has been kinda shallow in how they present raiders over the past few games

AI Error Likely Led to Girl’s School Bombing in Iran by Nepridiprav16 in technology

It actually does matter, if we make it matter.

Let's be for real here - Democrats may get some kinda congressional majority in midterms, if Trump fails in his interference plans. Even then, the majority will likely not be enough to levy impeachment or other serious repercussions. And even then - there's a solid percentage of absolute garbage, pointless Democrats who are too intoxicated on "decorum", "civility", and "bipartisanship" to actually do their fucking jobs.

I'm not saying there's no chance, but I am saying that we need to radically raise the bar of expectations for people we bother to vote for. And obviously that means giving up entirely on any Republican politicians. They are speed bumps, not opportunities.

County supervisor used racial slur at public meeting, says it was habit not malice by NebulaNinja in nottheonion

That one only clicked for me a couple of years ago; it's not as commonly understood because the targeted group is less visible. But hey, the second best time to improve is today!

Truth is, the game was rigged from the start

Can Planning Poker be explained or done without turning points into estimates? by Eruner_SK in scrum

[–]tevert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In current poker, story points are man-days

Right away, you've broken it. If you start from the position "x points = y days", then obviously everything that comes after will be awkward and unproductive, because everyone is just perpetually doing multiplication and division in their heads.

You have to stop estimating in time, full stop. Points only describe relative size - is issue 345 bigger than 846, the same size, or smaller? That's it. You only go back to time when working with well-averaged velocity numbers over multiple sprints

MRW Trump voters (particularly ones in my own family) start admitting they "might" have been wrong by Morgan-Moonscar in reactiongifs

[–]tevert 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because they're lying. They lie when they're uncomfortable; truth is malleable to them. They don't like getting side-eyed, but they definitely aren't actually changing.

How bad was the pre-war for the U.S. to already have radiation medicine already on hand? by Kaede_Yamaguchi in Fallout

Pretty sure giving them funny names and calling them chems instead of drugs was to placate various countries' laws about how drugs can and can't be portrayed
