Near me there’s a park with a couple baseball fields and a decently steep grassy hill between the upper field and the lower field and sometimes when I’m jogging and it’s dry out I just run across the fields and down the hill and across the second one and feel like I’m ten again and honestly it never fails to be a very satisfying little thing to do

Same, only riding my beach cruiser, which totally take me back to having a one-speed bike & tooling around town at 12.

She blew six figures of blow up her nose when she was in her twenties instead of doing anything and has never had to work a day in her life and now has that syndrome former tweakers have where they're always sorta slightly angry at everything. Combine that with a messiah complex and frustration that leftists correctly think her brand of "less on purpose" politics are insufficient and you're left with the dumbest, angriest, lib possible.

This is pretty much what happens to the entire cohort of liberal failchildren that aren't addicted to homework and become Mayor Petes, I bet

Incredible! So what you're telling me is that the CPC had a plan all along, and in fact implemented that plan which lead to material improvement in the lives of people living in China

Such a concept is completely beyond the US and Europe!

Does sentient mean something different in star trek? Why is data special but a sentient hologram that touches things ez? Why are robots a problem and hologram slaves aren't?

They wanted to do the AI-fights-for-human-rights plot again in Voyager so they just had the Federation inexplicably treat sentient holograms different from sentient robots even though they're both complicated computer programs that gain sentience if you keep them running for too long.

Which I guess you'd have to do if you're keeping holodecks legal since it's been shown multiple times that holodeck characters become sentient and experience existential fear and dread at the idea of being shut off, but hey gotta keep creating and killing intelligent AIs anytime someone wants to play Sherlock Holmes or gently caress simulations of their coworkers dressed as Greek Gods or whatever.

did u know that the single most important difference between the chinese and american versions of three body problem is that the chinese version thinks its important to discuss and how and why physics works in order to make sense of a scifi mystery where physics isnt working anymore while the american version decides that science is boring and using video games to understand science is dumb we should be using video games to test for empathy instead

i thought that was very interesting

So I hung out with a bunch of "young people" yesterday, and for real? Palestine is more important than reproductive choice? Democracy? The continuing existence of our country? I didn't debate, but I was just like "Are you kidding me", internally. Maybe I showed it externally. I was not receptive.

To clarify, my discussions, my focus, were entirely focused on voting. Honestly, discussing the "issues" without voting being implicit makes no sense to me, but then, I always vote. Even in the dumb local off schedule elections.

It's May. The election is months away. I assumed that everyone I was talking with will vote Biden when the time comes, if they vote at all, which is up in the air honestly.

It’s unironically this. The more power you have, the less morally culpable you are for your choices. Because power is important and maintaining it justifies your choices.

But if you’re powerless? Wtf is your excuse. You have full moral culpability for your actions.

If you’re a voter then it is 100% your fault that abortion rights are gone. If you’re a politician promising to codify Roe and fail, well…hard things are hard.
