It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead

@spizzle29 @ubiquitousnewt Extinction is absolutely an option

[Karl🇺🇸🇺🇦 @zippkode]

@DerekPederson3 Well, not exclusively. Being able to send $1m across the world in five minutes isn't going to destabilize the economy, but it is sometimes convenient.

@PoliticalDeamon @_CryMiaRiver 7th grade is not gen z.

@kisses4proust @fillefoux The only unusual part of your post is a lie. Many such cases.

@BecomingCritter It is oddly comforting to me that I can confidently say this is not the case for the people who hurt me.

@xwanyex It's insane how common covers used to be. I guess if the choices are "write boring, non-single songs" or "do boring covers" and you need to fill up an album, the latter is easier. And probably more fun to do live.

@max_spero_ Wasn't this illegal in New York before covid?

[Karl🇺🇸🇺🇦 @zippkode]

@showedmecolors It is

@kfullermusic That driver probably has insurance that fixes this. Ebikes don't.

[Karl🇺🇸🇺🇦 @zippkode]

@BoundaryBreak Yeah but games are supposed to be on the big screen TV price curve

@BecomingCritter *opens IDE*
No babe, not a refactory period

@shagbark_hick I agree that toasters are not very useful. Toaster ovens, however, are great.

I do want to try one of these old school ones though

@DerekPederson3 I feel like controlling the Senate and thereby being able to stop every appointment makes a difference in the long term. Federal judges matter, and it would be good if fewer of them came from the Federalist society

@enbridgethe3rd @AlastairGrayson When traffic is at, say 40% capacity, you could accomplish the merge without significant slowing

@EricHogue0 @rwlesq @alwaysadblock And I don't think anyone is actually doing that, to be clear. But we should build systems that are robust to what people could do, not just to what they are actually doing. Assume maximum malevolence at all times.

[Karl🇺🇸🇺🇦 @zippkode]

@EricHogue0 @rwlesq @alwaysadblock I don't think that's true. Let's say I'm on the fence about cheating. It would be difficult and dangerous. Seems smart to wait and try to figure out if my cheating will tip the election. The longer I wait, the more information I have.

@ChangingFlow @PostLeftWatch Except that's not what agnostic means, and reading the full transcript doesn't provide any redeeming context.

@gametheory101 Maybe the value of a signal degrades in an iterated game where you keep not using them. Nuclear crying wolf.

But the natural question is: would conventional deployment do better? Is conventional war w/ Russia really any less of a bluff than nuclear?

@LinkofSunshine He wasn't right in a useful sense. A shift from spending $500 at a travel agent to $500 at Expedia should be counted as $1000 of impact instead of $0.

@xwanyex I think you're giving too much credit for precision to Hasan. Himbos don't know about logical quantifiers. And Nick is making a much stronger claim than "there is nonzero change." "I think we know...what works" is, in fact, risible.
