His family shouldn’t expect empathy, and he wouldn’t want his death to distract from full Epstein file disclosure.

I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.

Is this post text written by AI? It seems very, “no, but yes, but maybe”. It’s like it’s written by an LLM trained on clickbait.

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

I could be convinced that there is a part of Paris that is like that. It doesn’t look like a part of Paris anyone would want to spend much time in though.

Yeah I don’t think there’s any basis to the quote.

Interestingly the earliest composed Christian document that has been recovered (the didache, the copy we have is from Ca. 1000 CE, but seems to be in the original Greek) condemns infanticide, specifically including by exposure to the elements. It also prohibits private property so the document is not taken authoritatively by many modern christians.

I saw a quote in the newspaper this morning:

We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China now we’re essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we’re saving hundreds of billions of dollars. Very simple.

It’s just so incredibly wrong and stupid.

Smells like nirvana in my ass.

My buddy warned me about the mint the pervious owners planted, and I pulled it right away. It was right by our basement entrance so I frequently peer in and inspect for mint shoots. I think there must be a buried barrier or something (like landscaping cloth) preventing it from spreading outside the bed it was in. I found a small sprig 4 years after pulling everything I could find.

Could you suggest alternate wording that succinctly conveys what the commenter obviously meant?

Killing time are you being intentionally obtuse just to kill time?

How is real estate wealth not consequential?Real estate wealth is real wealth, it’s why it’s literally in the name.

Personal income tax is not a wealth tax, and there are myriad ways to avoid it without evading it.

It’s a wealth tax on wealth that’s very difficult to hide.

I always go pat down. I prefer to understand the scope of the privacy violation also I think it’s good to have a physical reminder of the ways our privacy is invaded.

What unhealthy eating habit are you indulging in at 21:45?

I heard this comment

“I must destroy all evidence of this”

I mean both really

Yeah that’s a good point. Maybe I should amend my statement to say something like:

If this seems like an absurd hypothetical, consider reframing it. Multiply all the numbers by a factor of between 1,000 to 1,000,000 and make them “our soldiers”, “bystanders” and “enemy soldiers” respectively.

I think these scenarios might be easier to analyze if we made them a bit more realistic.

This an analogy for military intervention. If we empower our military to be proactive, we can save one "good guy"^TM by killing 3 bystanders. But if NATO’s adversaries are participating too we lose 3 of our "good guy"^TM
