Exept they can and they do. Because Washington isn’t in charge of the culture. Rights biggest frustration is they try to gain cultural cachet via electoral politics and they get sad that gambit fails and now they are stuck governing which they find boring and gay so they run the country into the ground

@amalgamatomaton It would be so beautiful if the power of positive thinking was actually real but there is one guy in eastern Europe who is so negative that he overpowers every self help enthusiast on the planet all on his own.

It's kind of tragic that the word "computer" has evolved into a philosophical slur

argumentation about why the brain "isn't a computer" is ~always an attempt to defend some sort of honor that we ascribe to brains but not laptops, not to grasp the nature of abstract computability

Those skyscrapers formed when two residential plates collided

[Midwest Antiquarian @Eric_Erins]

An apartment like this is just so much more aspirational to me than a $745K house built in 2009 somewhere you need a car to scratch your back

[Econo ad absurdam @econoadabsurdam]

Buildings too tall, no setbacks, inadequate parking provision, overlooks neighbouring properties, retail generates excessive noise impacts, repetitive design features

Planning application denied

@C_U271D I've been trying to do this for awhile and I think I decided that table stakes are that gravity has to work very differently, which allows the plain to extend infinitely downward while also potentially solving air pressure issues with an infinitely high atmosphere

People seem to be on the hunt for “authenticity” but nothing is ever good enough

It’s like a weird paranoia that everything around them is ‘fake’ like they are worried they are in the Truman Show or something

the austro-hungarian imperial and royal armed forces were in many ways the original dark woke

[Cartoons Hate Her! @CartoonsHateHer]

Maybe I’m too optimistic, I mean some people clearly just hate women and gays and minorities but I think other people are just sick of sweatpants, brutalism and bad aesthetics

[Daniel VanGorden @DanielVanGorde7]

This has to be the biggest missed prediction of my lifetime - I was sure this was an economist's fantasy, that the average person wouldn't even be aware of the pricing, just chalk it up to "some new, annoying toll". Couldn't believe anyone would change their behavior, let alone..

There are blocks of lower Manhattan that are so devoid of cars now it’s wild.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

What people perceive as "crowding" is really just cars.

None of our cities actually have particularly dense populations, and many people don't go outside anymore.

This is hidden by the noise, bustle, and sheer space taken up by cars, which make one driver seem "big."

@YuruPanzerkampf Reminds me of japanese torpedoes. Initially the british had the best, so they sent spys to find the head of the program and get him drunk to see if he'd blab technical details. He did, but they were absurd brags that got taken at face value. Then they built a torp to those specs.

her: so babe aren't you gonna tell me some cool facts about German tanks

Me, too sad about the robot dying in sonic adventure: I guess. The panzer III ausf F was armed with a 50mm cannon

her, encouraging: how did it perform against soviet armour?

me, sighing: underwhelmingly

I hate Halloween in DC. What do you mean you’re the ghost of Chevron deference?

Making a new Factorio but with cost-accurate raw materials, machines, conveyors, robots arms/AMRs, electricity, etc. and harvesting the data to make millions of unpaid cracked engineers optimize my real-life factory for me
