Come on now, we can’t tax poor Bezos’s Amazon more than 6%, else he can’t afford to fly his space dildo.

It’s not like AI is going to reverse entropy. Humans have evolved to do physical work. If you are not digging the soil or chasing zebras across a valley all day, you better be “working”-out.
The human mental state will continue to create an artificial universe perfect for AI. But the real universe doesn’t care a bit. Our tenure as a species so…[Read more]

He’s great if you are pro-Gun, anti-abortion, anti-green, white Christian.
Mexico? Does this guy look out his limo window while driving through his poverty-stricken, high crime, hurricane damaged, oil-polluted, under-educated home state. I have been there, holy fuck.

Yes, but it was predictable. He will probably win the nomination. Before the next election there will probably be a recession. Much unhappiness with Biden. And then we shall have our emboldened dictator.
There is no harm in keeping the general public up-to-date. Trump’s worshippers will know about new wrinkles in h…

If Trump would have finally conceded the election and apologized for his treasonous behavior; that would have been “newsworthy”. Otherwise, we may as well have had a podcast on the biology of unicorns or the virtues of practicing voodoo.
Whatever happens happens because of something that happened before it. What Tru…

And beyond the nitwits there is the issue of designer pets. It is artificial selection catering to aesthetic wants and animals suffer as a result.
Yeah, especially against selective breeding of killer/fighting dogs. And of course, stupid people gravitate towards them and then are so shocked when they maul their grandbabies.

Requiring an earned license for pets would at least quell the impulsive buyer who wants a pet on Sunday and wants it gone on Wednesday. Every Easter, thousands of bunny rabbits are sold to nitwits who have no idea how to handle or deal with them and then by Mother’s Day they are dead or abandoned. I wonder what percentage of the US’s societal and…[Read more]

If people had to simply pass a course and obtain a license to prove they are capable of owning and humanly caring for a particular pet species/breed, that would go a long way to prevent the horror show.
OFF TOPIC: Same goes for guns, training course and license to own coupled with a psychological profile. Fingerprint activated…[Read more]

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is the biggest pile of horseshit since The Germ Theory of Disease.
Exactly, LOL. This is way too easy.

I think the authors of “Debunking the Dunning-Kruger Effect” overestimated their ability to debunk the Dunning-Kruger effect. And there is no way I am wrong.

“It’s the guns, stupid” is a common invocation after another senseless loss of life to a mass shooting in the US. And it’s a challenging one, too, especially as more queer, BIPOC, and unhoused people are articulating the greater safety they feel with firearms for self-defense, in a political climate where state officials are less likely to value…

@robert There are humane ways to euthanize cats and dogs such as a overdose of an opiate, though they are more expensive than the cheap ways, I imagine, such as a suffocation chamber, which has been used. One hopes blenders, wood chippers, etc., are not an option.
True, but irresponsible pet owners are the real cause of the year in…[Read more]

Don’t want yet another conspiracy anti-science, anti-vaccine asshat. After thousands died needlessly (thanks to idiotic politicians and religious leaders) we will and end up with a smallpox epidemic or something worse.

Well don’t throw away a vote would be a start. The lesser of two evils is better than the worst of two evils.

How many Americans even know what Biden has accomplished besides lowering the cost of key drugs and calling out the GOP freaks who want to squash social security and Medicare.

In this perspective, Gould suggested that science and religion should be viewed as two separate domains (or “magisteria”) with distinct areas of teaching authority – hence the term “non-overlapping.” According to Gould, science’s domain is the empirical realm, including the theory of evolution and all other aspects of the universe that we can obse…

Yeah, our science isn’t up to snuff yet, so bring in the gods! He sure has been diminished by science. From creating all in a week and mankind from mud (just like Promethius did, lol); now he just nudges planets here and there or maybe guides a football just a bit.
