    I mean, the holes are one thing. And the holes are annoying dont get me wrong. But its the mounds and the eating our garden that really rustles my jimmies. Theyre not hard to shoot if you spot them but theres just so fuckin many of them, I dont have time to chill in the yard all day with a...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    You keep dodging around the central question and ignoring the correct point I was making, which you still havent contested. Now you want to get into obscure details of early church history. The point still stands that they didnt produce the latest translation from the one before. But please...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Everyone loves to criticize other peoples analogies. Got a better one? Whether you like the analogy or not the point stands. Newer versions of the Bible arent translated from the previous version, which was the retardation implied by Pasteys post and repeated ad nauseum by many others.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Putting aside the alien shit, I always love this completely retarded take. People act like the Bible is a game of telephone, with each version translated from the previous version. Obviously in reality the translations are all based on the original text. Its not a game of telephone, its a...

    Every time I see this thread gets bumped, I'm disappointed to find out no ones talking about motherfucking gophers yet. I love my property but may consider a small thermonuclear device in the near future, these fucking pieces of shit

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    ftfy The still-plugged-in people I know universally are saying good things about this movie and only hearing good things about this movie. The discussion in this thread is as far outside the mainstream conversation as WEF and 3AM vote dumps.

    The Fast Food Thread

    it doesnt surprise me in terms of calories. But dear lord, can you imagine eating McDonalds leftovers? What in the actual fuck? Like almost all fast food, McDonalds is only edible if consumed within 5 minutes of being made. Literally 20 minutes and its inedible. The next day? I can't even...

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    The best part is how they say "we're not releasing the details of the new algorithm so people can't get around it" Theyre just openly admitting that the majority hated it, that theyve tweaked their algorithm to hide this, and that they won't tell us how because then peoples' real opinions would...

    Wait, you're saying frittata and quiche are the same thing? Or frittata and tortilla are the same thing? Come to think of it, you're wrong either way, but I need to know details to properly mock your wrongness I will just start by pointing out that they have different fucking names which is...

    This is such a hard one. You're so right about frittata - fuck frittata right in the burnt eggs - but quiche is just delicious; whats wrong with you? (That ridiculous Spanish abomination called the Tortilla is also in the Fuck Frittatas category)

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    As if it wasnt jarring enough having this alien looking ghetto chick cast in the place of a redhead mermaid That shot of her with her dad is lmao. Hey Hollywood? lets forget about mermaids and source material for a moment and take a step back. Children generally look like their parents. This...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Saw this with the kids. Solid GOTG movie, probably the best MCU since endgame IMO. Not a fan of the change in music. Not because there was any inherent problem in adding post 80s music but because of their mostly shitty choices. As a more general note to movie music people: there has never...

    Thats backwards. He invented all his shit. The tech is his power, because he invented it. It really does seem like people are getting booster gold and kang confused. https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Kang-The-Conqueror/Issue-1?id=187287#1

    you owe it to yourself to read the kang story in the comics. aside from being from the future he really has nothing in common with booster gold. the comic book version is a decent story and could have made a good main villain. If they'd cast someone that looked like Kang instead of...

    Actually I agree, as long as we're talking about something over medium or beyond. Over easy has no brown. I prefer my fried eggs like you said, a little crispy on the edge, the yolk still liquid.

    I guess it goes without saying that in the cooking thread different people will have different tastes. I wont try to talk you into poached eggs. If youre cooking eggs and they turn brown, they go in the garbage. Its like if you made toast and it came out charcoal black. Thats called burnt and...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    When I watch time travel movies, which I do obsessively - even if I know going into its a bad movie, is it about time travel? fuck it I'm in. In any movie where the traveller doesnt immediately take actions directed at fixing their own timeline, and the movie doesnt clearly show that its...

    This is what I mean. Everyone in this thread is assuming its retarded copout Endgame time travel rules. If its Back to the Future rules, its a whole different game.

    If there was ever a more direct example of giving control to the machines than self driving cars, I don't know what it is. Half of our society is already watching what the youtube machine tells you to watch and thinking what the machine tells you to think. When they start literally letting the...

    At the end of every US President's term, the national debt should be transferred to his account and become his personal debt. He may then choose to declare bankruptcy or pay it off. Either way, problem solved. You're welcome, America.

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    Completely depends on the time travel rules though. Cause by default, without any other information about the rules, I'm going back and giving myself information I shouldnt have and probably fucking up the space time continuum, but I'm still doing it if the rules allow it.

    Yes. Mist is being retarded and pretending that only a subset of chaotic evil people, the ones who are so crazy they get caught, only they count as evil. You are exactly right: selfish = evil.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    You're literally disagreeing with the D&D Players Manual about what the alignment "evil" means in a discussion about whether evil D&D races like Drow could actually have a functional society. And thinking your disagreement on the matter has any bearing on anything. Its the fucking manual...

    This is what I mean. You're wrong about what evil is, and that leads to your inaccurate statement. I will quote here from the authority, You have a cartoonish view of evil. You pretend that only psychopaths -- who by definition are abberations -- are evil. Read the definition given above. I...

    I knew you'd get predictably pissy about my comment. People who make statements like yours have a cartoon view of evil. Once you acknowledge what evil actually is, and look around, you realize my statement was correct. I dunno where you came up with 20% but we probably always have at least that...

    Define "operate a society". I don't disagree with your overall premise but theres degrees of operation, and the decline of a society can take a long time. Modern American society is easily way over 20% explicitly evil people. It isnt even close.

    Ever since I became aware of this stuff, every now and then I'm troubled by the thought that maybe human consciousness operates exactly the same way, with just a few superficial layers on top of it. These things just work so well. And remind me so much of a human bullshitter. And a human...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    OK thats a fair point but all I'm seeing is mentions of chatGPT making math errors. Did the answers from the LLM produced teaching materials turn out to be wrong? Also, even if we rule this out for any math courses (and I think thats still debatable because its based on what a single LLM can...

    When I said "online content" I was not referring to "online content for hard sciences at undergraduate level", I was being much more general. Look, it all comes down to error rate. I'm just saying there were plenty of errors in existing teaching materials. The question should not be "how can...
