I hope the loss of US science supremacy, the destruction of our world-class universities, the elimination of accurate weather forecasting, a severe depression and so many more self-caused acts of destruction are all worth not possibly having to share a public restroom with a trans person.
Stupid motherfuckers. I wish you moronic MAGA lot could FAFO without me having to do so as well.

We seem to deeply wish to turn the world into a dystopian hellscape. At least, we are trying our best to do so whether we want to or not.
Nope. It’s all about data thievin’ and user lock-in. That’s the only reason passkeys exist. And that’s why I will never, ever use that tech. Fuck all that noise.
every airplane flight is, for me, a spiritual experience. we dreamed of flying for *thousands* of years. we tried, we failed. we told stories, we found belief, we scavenged materials, we deciphered secrets. then one day, in an unimaginable future, we now fly on wings of dreams.

We live daily surrounded by and ensconced in miracles. Now our quest is not to extend these marvels into the future but to destroy them in the present. In our apathy, the future has become unimaginable and the declaration of the impossibility of further wonders taken for shrewd insight and obvious truth — despite all history and evidence pointing to its risibility.
The left is no less guilty of this than the right. As I’ve said before, we needed new minds and did not achieve them. Now we will pay the price.
Why do people use Spotify and crap like that, with how much it takes away from them and steals from them?
Convenience (as with smartphones) is a trap, operationally and cognitively.
This is the real headline.
Defunding labs at Harvard is an especially stupid and gratuitous act of national self-harm.
But a 2/3 overall cut is national research suicide. https://t.co/M5gtPfUEfR

Pure insanity. It’s rare that a nation commits such preventable and senseless acts of self-harm. But we’re doing it with no signs of stopping.
The right has the nazis, but the left has actually managed to change the experience of life in America for Jews https://t.co/267GWBLMTe

A surprising percentage of the left has gone full anti-semite. If you listened only to their Jew-hatred you’d think they were outright Nazis.
This is why anyone who relocates for RTO is a chumpish numpty. As the comments point out many of those laid off today (1,500 people) just uprooted their entire lives to move to Arkansas and then were promptly out of a job in a nothing town.
Not a good deal. Resist RTO and definitely do not relocate as RTO is almost always just a disguised layoff scheme that they will follow up with actual layoffs.

I think it’s something like that. So many people have had it reasonably well for so long (effective vaccines, enough food, no invasions, etc.) that they have no idea what it takes to maintain and extend that.
So we are where we are: a bunch of utter clown dumbasses destroying everything because they do not understand why it exists.
About the post below, this comment said it best I think; I’ll excerpt a bit here.
For most men (all men, but “most” to differing degrees; very hot guys experience this less, but still experience it), live in a world that sees them as a threat and treats them as such. I have a good amount of pretty privilege, and I endure this constant social rejection all the time; and I see how much worse it is for most other men. A man has to be in that rare 1% of the 1% Hollywood/model hot to avoid this sense of non-stop and constant social rejection.
Basic human interactions, when women run into this, they consider it “rude.” It still shocks and disappoints me how often women get offended when someone is “rude” to them, when that’s just baseline human interaction for us.
Everyone treating you like trash — especially women — is the default male experience. To be treated as well as the average woman in normal situations, you have to be in the top 0.00001% or so of men.
And that’s pretty fucked up.
When you make it to adolescence and realize everyone now sees you as a threat to be managed and dealt with. And then ignored. That’s a really rough transition.
Especially since the vast majority of men are in fact not a threat to anyone.
Nine Federally Funded Scientific Breakthroughs That Changed Everything.
Long term, by far the most moronic and clownish thing the Trump administration is doing is defunding scientific research. It’s just pure self-harm for absolutely zero tangible gain.
Why does science make so many conservatives so angry? I think it’s largely they just hate the idea that anyone is smarter than they are. Which means they hate a lot, lot of people.
How Republicans became America’s ‘de-growth’ party.
No matter which party is de-growth — dipshit leftists or clownish MAGA dumbasses — I despise them. They will do nothing but harm everyone.
As can be seen right now.
this is just horrific. the most anti-abundance agenda of any president in modern history https://t.co/kUhDHM3zPz

Might as well put Xi Jinping in charge of the country. This is more than about politics. Even though I disagreed enormously with Reagan and the first George Bush, I did believe they had the best interests of the US at heart.
I do not believe that about Trump and his cronies. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The 21-year-old drinking age had widespread and extremely negative consequences that have nothing at all to do with alcohol.
It effectively shifted the American age of adulthood forward 3 full years.

Wow, all of that has gotten so much worse. I rented a hotel room back in the 90s as a sixteen-year-old in Orlando, Florida. A decent one too. My friends and I were going to see Tori Amos and didn’t want to drive back in the middle of the night.
It looks like that’d be totally impossible now even as a twenty-year-old. Which is fucking insane. But I guess that goes hand in hand with the insistence by many “feminists” that women are children until they are 35 or 40. Different aspects of the same terrible trend.
