If I ever seem smart and knowledgeable, it is only because of what I am being compared against.

I don’t like the idea of people seeing me doing something like that and then judging me, so nobody will ever see me online. I only let my social apps show me as online when I want people to be able to see I’m online. By default, I either leave them off or have them set my status to invisible.

My printer doesn’t use ink cartridges, but it came with more ink than it needed to completely fill it up. I got it from Costco.

I looked at his wikipedia the other day and was surprised to see that he had something like 5 singles that went far up the charts. I hadn’t heard of any of them, of course, but I don’t know that his being a 1 hit wonder is necessarily related to him being a piece of shit who is trying to end American democracy by supporting Trump.

Also, I wonder what this meme originally was. That guy on the right sort of looks like Obama.

Which part of that clip gives some room for flexibility? From my watching of the clip, he just says this is an old religious problem that we are now examining from the viewpoint of science, and that the apparent room for flexibility in quantum probabilities don’t offer anything like actual free will. And he essentially concludes by saying that despite there being no evidence of any shred of anything like free will, that we still need to search for and strive for it.

Hey guys! I found the giant asshole who is behind both Elon Musk and Donald Trump!

A few days ago, I did something that I thought would 100% keep me from sleeping. It wasn’t cringey this time, just a big mistake that I should have known better than to make.

But I had a plan and I carried it out. During that day, every time I thought about the mistake, I just tried to let it go, similar to what I practiced in mindfulness meditation. But I was having a problem doing that while just doing my normal thing, so I tried listening to an audiobook. I thought that would engage my mind enough so that I couldn’t make such a strong memory of my mistake, and it all seemed to work.

Anyways, for most people who don’t have serious trauma, I think this is a problem you can work at and improve your sleep.

You’re technically right, which as we all know, is the best kind of right.

I do think that most people’s brains gloss right over the logical contradiction and act as if it said that nobody said “anything” rather than “nothing.”

But that is not what the meme actually says. Now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s obviously wrong.

The “absolutely nobody” meme was originally supposed to highlight somebody making an argument for something that obviously nobody had ever felt the need to argue against.

It was usually a very obscure argument about something that nobody else had ever thought about, or the visual version where someone created something that didn’t need to be created, or it could be an argument about something that is so obviously true that it is obvious that nobody would ever try arguing against it… And that’s it. It doesn’t really have any use outside of those two narrow areas.

It barely made sense as a meme in the first place and of course, it was immediately misused by the vast majority of people who used it and just mindlessly tacked it onto anything because it was the popular meme at the time. I was so happy when people stopped using it.

You can tell by their actions that Christians do not really believe that they worship the same God as Islam.

If Christians really believed it was the same God, they’d switch religions to the one with the most up-to-date information from God and become Muslim. If Christians didn’t believe this was the way to choose how to worship, then they’d be Jewish, not Christian.

I hadn’t seen the original video. Without that context, I thought the girl on the right was chuckling. Now, I guess she was retching.

Edit: Maybe rather than saying she went from “chuckling” to “retching”, I should have said she went from “chuckling” to “up-chuckling”.

Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.

You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.
