No shit

Beat me to it!

I mean that is true of basically all structures and materials. It’s just the coastline problem. How long is the coastline? Depends on the level of precision you apply and the exact time you measure. Theoretically it is infinite if you keep getting more and more granular with it. That’s not helpful or meaningful for general purposes though.

You misread what I was describing.

That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra). If you simplified us down topographically, it’d be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

Is “topologist” a job? Like someone who specializes in telling you how many holes and knots exist in a given object, How to “untie” seemingly knotted things that actually topographically have no knots? Do you clock in for that, or is it a 1099 freelancer thing?

As long as they’ll kiss his ass

I’m no economist but… how does enforcing a price floor help you to compete with China who already has the market cornered, and does so with lower prices? If my competition has 75% market share to my 10%, the only way I have to make up that difference at all is for demand that they can’t meet to go up (which is out of my control), or to either provide a better product, or give them the same product at a lower price to attract more customers. Setting a price floor just took one of my levers away, and the other lever, product improvement, costs money that I don’t have. So… this is just going to kill competition with China, kill American businesses and give China room to make even more money. Am I missing something?

He is a cartoonishly villainous figure that stands out even in the crowd of villains in the White House, and he is apparently puppeting the presidency, the attorney general, and the DHS, at least, if not more. Just watched the Some More News deep dive on him and he’s apparently been a slimy racist entitled fuck since childhood.

In this case, I think it was more indoctrination of a rule her dad set that she never questioned.

I had a similar conversation with a friend in college who alleged that waking up after 9am meant that you are lazy. In all cases. Period.

Stayed up until 3am partying with your friends? Better still be up by 9.

Took the Redeye which didn’t land until 5am? Oof, enjoy your few hours remaining but don’t sleep in…

Work a double shift through the night until 8am? Did I fucking stutter, you can only sleep until 9am, you useless fuck!

Idk… seems silly and arbitrary.

The fact that this guy can “normalize” anything is incredible to me. He is so cartoonishly villainous that he stands out even in an entire administration of villains. They are all corrupt and authoritarian, but he is so blatantly antagonistic to even basic civil rights and due process, goes even beyond the Unitary Exective Theory into trying to establish the presidency as having autocratic control of the entire federal and state governments (i.e. dictatorship), and has justified much of this on racist fear mongering. The Nazi label is spot-the-fuck-on.

Giancarlo Esposito is the embodiment of quiet menace and commitment to character

Like Trump needs the excuse. He’ll do it just because they don’t have an ® next to their name.

Unfortunately, the bald fuck isn’t producing any locks of hair anymore, so the voodoo doll connection will be limited at best. Unless someone wants to take one for the team and pluck some pubes?

There’s a few who were invited and turned them down. Mike Birbiglia was the most notable to me, but I’m also familiar with Shane Gillis, Michelle Wolf, and Stavros Halkias. Atsuko Okatsuka, Toni Nagy, Leslie Liao, Nimesh Patel, and Tim Dillon have also announced they turned down the offer, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen their shows.

A LOT of really notable comedians are. It’s pretty gross and disappointing.

“Well, what are they going to do? ‘Well, Mike Lindell, you know he was a crack addict?’ Yeah, what else you got?”

Wow. This guy thinks the most objectionable thing about him, the only ammo to be used against him, is his drug addiction. This guy has no self awareness at all.

I’m not a big market speculator guy. Does anyone know if there is a way to bet against AI, to make money when the AI bubble pops? Not shorting.
