4·5 months agoA scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.
I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!
6·8 months agoI remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.
Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

How’s that any different from today?
(Just kidding, gallows humor)
Seconded - Fuuuuuuck that jelly-bean-eating bastard.
I do like jelly beans though.
7·9 months agoI think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.
But -
I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.
One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.
Who f’ing cares…. Neither of those two has anything to say, that needs to be heard.
I like it!
My thoughts as well… “here’s what to know: the Supreme Court is corrupt as hell”
Strong stuff, and I’m here for it! I hope he suffers the indignity of itching, without the relief of scratching!
107·9 months agoUnironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.
Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.
I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.
But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.
Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.
I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?

3·10 months agoSaddling up to the bar of a cyberpunk ramen shop to ask real questions with my real voice
I want this guy to argue with me at the ramen shop:

“Four…no, two,two; four! (sigh)… with noodles.”
The enemy gate is down, Ender!
Not OP but for me, I think it pivots on the permission of those who knew the comedian best and who might be hurt the most by not asking.
Whether AI writes the jokes, some 3rd party, or the comedian themself did, does the family want that out there, or would it be painful for Robin Williams’ family (remember that he killed himself) to watch a computer ape Williams’ comedy? If you’ve had a loved one pass away, would you want to be asked before someone made an AI of them performing jokes? And would it make it better or worse if the AI did an inferior job of replicating the original person?
Even if Carlin had planned a show, if the wishes of the family were that it be performed by Carlin himself or nobody, then I don’t think anyone had the right to turn an AI loose on the material to “give it a shot”.
Beyond that, I wonder if they have the legal right to use Carlin’s likeness, mannerisms, etc.
That’s a funny way to say “Trump campaign manipulates emotions of grieving parents”
