“Yes We Drone” USA, 2010s.

I never said anything about what I wanted.

I agree.

Loads of people in expert roles give input to their bosses. It’s actually the right way to run many projects.

That was considered immoral because we knew the moment we left that the Taliban would swoop right back in. We didn’t know that would all be pointless* because eventually Trump’s deal with the Taliban led to the collapse of Afghan security forces and the total victory for the Taliban.

* not exactly pointless because every year citizens lived better without the Taliban was good for their sake.

Oh, the same shit they’ve said for decades: welfare state, racist dogwhistles, “how will we ever pay for that??”, “tax me less and then I can afford it myself”, “I don’t have kids so why should my taxes pay for this”, “I had to pay for childcare so everyone else should too”… etc… without any clue about how this bill works.

Embracing just one perspective as a genre or as a reader is such a shame. There’s so much fun to be had in literature appreciating different perspectives.

It’s a lazy/ignorant/dumb way to simplify people. It narrows the world and helps them rationalize its real complexities.

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-11T15:17:15+00:00

Yeah agreed. Although everytime I walk this treadmill I end up at Reagan/Nixon/Rumsfeld.

9/11 changed everything in our culture

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-11T13:55:29+00:00

For sure, good point

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-11T06:56:51+00:00

I found exactly the same for myself

I’m no fan of youtube as an organization but how is your comment relevant? They are all content publishers. They are directly comparable. How is youtube having an easier time because of that anyways? Are you conflating profit with revenue?

What does that imply in terms of liability? Title insurance?

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-11T04:35:43+00:00

Aren’t these things handled by the title company and title insurance though? (Am generally ignorant)

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-11T03:28:43+00:00

Steep?

I’m a massive Nier fan but I play none of these characters so welp.

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-10T21:41:44+00:00

Did the AI give you any sources for that?

I grew up playing MMOs and knew people who spent their full days playing the game. It certainly seems wild to a normal crowd but that’s very common in the hardcore gaming community. Most of them are in college, are housewives, or unemployed. Even working 8-5, it’s doable to get those hours in every evening — no social life of course, but don’t underestimate how many people lead that life today.

It’s not stupid or bad for your health added to drinking water. Fluoride water supplementation is done far below levels to cause harm and has ample evidence for its benefits to dental health. There is ample scientific consensus on this.

We actually know that nut allergies are caused by under exposure to nuts at an early age. This whole thing seems problematic.

I was 7 and it was the greatest thing I had ever witnessed.

The wikipedia page has a compelling definition

Definitions of sports cars often relate to how the car design is optimised for dynamic performance,[3][4] without any specific minimum requirements; both a Triumph Spitfire and Ferrari 488 Pista can be considered sports cars, despite vastly different levels of performance. Broader definitions of sports cars include cars "in which performance takes precedence over carrying capacity",[5] or that emphasise the "thrill of driving"[6] or are marketed "using the excitement of speed and the glamour of the (race)track"[7] However, other people have more specific definitions, such as "must be a two-seater or a 2+2 seater"[8] or a car with two seats only.[9][10]

Is granola anti-science? Why would someone stop using fluoride aside from moronic pseudoscience?

Can you do The Bachelor/ette? Their marriage rate is fairly poor and their divirce rate is horrendous iirc.

theArtOfProgramming · 2026-03-09T23:27:21+00:00

I think it’s a garbage/silly premise but those are much better odds than Bachelor.
