I’m gonna preface this with I haven’t used discord in a year or so.

It’s kinda fun watching a new generation go through their first redesign outrage.

For-profit medical care.

This is the most inspiring thing I’ve read since the one where AI decided to maximize shareholder value by minimizing shareholders and nuked Wall Street.

Bankruptcy isn’t a get out of debt free card. It’s a “you’re gonna sell this stuff to pay off your creditors” card.

His sons were involved in the lawsuit and cannot legally do business in New York.

They are referring to the litter box you can’t smell anymore due to smell blindness. I love a nice cat, but it’s really frustrating how many people insist the litter box in their house doesn’t smell.

I understand you’re trying to draw a distinction and I’m here to tell you as someone who grew up in a rural town of 1200 people…just call it terrorism.

Or, roughly translated into engineer speak…”anyone can build an aqueduct, it takes skill to build an aqueduct using the minimum amount of material required”.

Lol means a lot of things to us. It’s hard to put into language. A signal we’re kidding, we’re uncomfortable expressing an emotion through text, we’re nervous, we don’t want something taken the wrong way, we’re expressing casual empathy. There’s more to lol than laughing, I’m sure someone has done a study on it by now.

It’s gonna be so fucking rich that the staggering mass of stupidity online prevents us from improving an AI beyond our intelligence level.

Thank the shitposter in your life.
