If you punch down, towards people that are less influential or less capable than you, someone “upward” of you is probably benefitting from the lower people fighting each other instead of themselves.

It was entirely defensive, and because the deep red states already did it. There was a provision in the law that if Texas’s redistricting got overruled or cancelled by a court, California’s would automatically be cancelled as well.
Imagine being such a dumbass that you’ll both do this and then brag about it on the internet


Oh, I’ve read this one before! The cocaine was so pervasive, they even found it in the blanks! Too bad publishing that makes the report kind of useless.
If you really want to see something, and you’re sloppy with your blanks, an LCMS can detect anything you want.


You sound like the brainwashed masses. He, a billionaire, was much more qualified to determine if someone is fit to practice medicine than some institutional board. Obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t have been a billionaire.


People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.
More, please!


The person I replied to was effectively saying those people will never face justice. I am saying that if enough people say that out loud, it’s actually causing it to be true.

We still are. It’s ragged and on the verge of tipping over. But not yet. The way we ultimately lose is by enough people saying exactly what you just said.

And a future president was their defense lawyer.


Cynicism sucks. It convinces people that it’s not worth trying. Including the person spreading it.
It’s always worth trying.


Yeah but those people actually believed things. Our people are sniveling shitheads whose beliefs only extend to the extent they can benefit from them.
Except Stephen Miller, maybe.


I cannot wait for every one of these people to stand in front of judges and try to weasel their way out of it.


Little baby got booed at the UI-Miami game and doesn’t want to hear it anymore
I could usually hear the gasp.
D) Gasp, then quickly look around to see if the TA saw
I was a TA. The answer was always D.


I have a Ph.D. The stuff people are currently calling “AI” is trash.
I regularly do peer review for manuscripts sent to a scientific journal. The number of them “written” with LLM tools is staggering. It’s really disheartening to read several pages of slop filled with very confident-sounding but astonishingly wrong citations.
But it is pretty satisfying to be able to return a review that basically says “Hey editor, they wrote this with a trash robot. I recommend rejection.”
Gee golly, I’m so glad my eyes didn’t have to see the f word, my goodness, that would have been disastrous


When I was the best man, I worked on my speech for like a month, kept it to like three minutes, had nothing to drink beforehand, and shortened it on the fly to match the maid of honor’s.
It’s astounding to me that people almost always do something other than maximum effort for people that care for and trust them enough to make them a best man or maid of honor.


I would prefer he dies surrounded by the people he loves doing the thing he loves to do the most.
(Nobody; eating fast food)
Gonna go out on a limb and say it’s satire.
