It’s not really hypocrisy, it’s that they’re jealous that black Americans took that word away, and if they can’t get it back, then they should be able to delete a word TOO, IT’S NOT FAIR!!

No, it’s saying Nye is a good person. He’s an atheist and not an asshole.

But you do touch on something because it would be a challenge to find someone known for being atheist while also being a decent human being. IDK, maybe Daniel Dennitt?

For safety, never plug an unknown USB drive into your house.

Jesus drove a Honda, though he was shy about it. In John it says that “Jesus never spoke of his own accord.”

For those who don’t know, that type of tow truck is called a ‘snatch’ truck because the tow arm can get under a vehicle without the driver leaving the cab. Snatch trucks are not for breakdowns, they’re for repos.

At least he wore a suit

after contact, the company acknowledged the problem and removed the accounts

Meta is outsourcing content moderation to journalists.

People need to be more understanding of Trump supporters. It’s like they say, you can’t understand a man until you’ve walked a mile with a monster third arm growing out of your back. liberals will never understand the struggle.

Since this service is free, I expect Az is taxing the retailers somehow. Perhaps it’s something like the Honey scam.

I’ll bet you can’t pay with an Az giftcard or credit balance.

I don’t think that subjective means arbitrary. A book may mean different things to different people, but that doesn’t mean that one interpretation is as good as any other. Or that reason is abandoned in the process of forming a subjective idea.

In America, they often cut the lampshade off right after manufacture.

Not even for religious reasons, just some 19th Century health nuts like RFK jr convinced everyone that it was good for your health.

This video (6:13) is about shrimp, but it has great advice for someone who’s not a seafood person but wants to incorporate that into their diet.

How the hell is Brad Dourif not in this movie!? Was he busy with Chucky or something?

It’s worse than that. Human rights are the number one justification for state violence and aggression. Not only are “property rights” the justification for police violence. The protection of human rights in general have excused nearly all invasion and conquest since the Berger revolutions deposed the “rights of Kings”. Hitler was protecting German citizens in Czechoslovakia. Putin was shielding Russian speakers in Ukraine. And the only thing George Bush cared about was Iraqi freedom.

I think empathy is misunderstood. Especially this notion that having empathy is a proxy for being a good person.

Consider the sadist. You cannot enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it. Being manipulative would also be difficult without a grasp of someone’s inner life. A confidence artist must be an empath. A “cold read” psychic must be uniquely empathetic.

In 1921 Hitler gave a speech where he promised to put Jewish people into camps to see “how they like it”. (he was upset about WWI German POWs and blamed Jewish people for their long internment). So Hitler did recognize Jewish people as human and capable of suffering; that was the point.

According to some psycho-annalists, you don’t have an authentic self. It’s just a Russian nesting dolls of personas and identities that we show the world, but at the bottom is not our true self, but instead another mask we show ourselves.

I’m not sure about all that, but personality, persona, identity, and self are all concepts we use to understand our consciousness. So it would be a mistake to try and reify those concepts as though they’re a real part of you like an ear or a leg.

After watching the latest Atun-Shei video, I’m using burger instead of bourgeois from now on.
