The most ironic outcome is the most likely. Reducing the irony is my job. There is no antimemetics division…yet, yet somehow the free energy gets minimized….
I hope you are willing to update from Ronny’s claims that there are some people, enough to be mistaken for all, who want dishonesty among political allies, lesswrong.com/posts/L6Ktf952… and from me that some don’t.
So Strange! Grok will analyze this tweet, but refuses to analyze any of the following tweets in this thread.
Standard EA. The end is near and the only thing to do about it is give me all your money = not a cult. The people saying the end is near are lying = cult.
In Denmark, 99% of their Jews survived WWII because the Danish people saved them from the Nazis. Denmark had a Jewish population of around 7,800. When the Nazis planned to deport Danish Jews in October 1943, a remarkable, large-scale rescue effort took place. The Danish…
A lib friend asked me, "don't you think that billionaires have too much power?" The dipshit who makes $15/hr at the city clerk's office tried to deny me and my fiancée a marriage license b/c we came in at 12:05 and they close at 12:30 The bottom quintile has too much power.
Those who perpetrated the Terror in the French Revolution were primitive, bloodthirsty savages. Nevertheless they did not have it in for factory owners. They didn't find communism intuitive. It hadn't been invented yet.
The people were clearly insane already, leading to the mass unemployment with government check happening. But given the mass insanity, handing people checks is a MUCH better deal than letting them get in the way of anything getting done.
The AI people are delusional. "We'll just give people UBI, they won't have to work." As if we didn't run a mass unemployment w/govt check simulator in 2020 where everyone went insane.
1969 the minimum wage was $1.30 per hour or $52 per week Gold was $35 per oz That’s 1.48 oz of gold per week, or today’s equivalent of $4884 a week —American spending power has been destroyed to keep a handful of bankers, boomers, and billionaires fake rich
1969 and 1970’s cars for well below $3000.
So true. Worse, most assassins (and would-be assassins) are scrutinized in every possible detail. We know Lee Harvey Oswald’s every movement, friend, connection, and whereabouts for years before Nov 1963. Thomas Crooks? Not so much. Why is that?
We know more about the 2 people on the left after 4 days than the guy on the right after 12 months.
Uganda punishes same sex intercourse with life imprisonment. It’s funny that Zohran doesn’t call for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions.
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
BREAKING: Calla Walsh, a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America, flew to the Islamic Republic of Iran and declares: “Glory to all the martyrs, glory to the axis of resistance. May we see victory within our lifetimes. Death to America!”
Forget the 2% defense spending target - NATO should require its members to actually be free countries.
Insane. Six weeks in prison for sending a racist tweet. No threat or incitement to violence, but "clearly racist": six weeks in prison.
these people try act like harmless smol beans just doing thought experiments but then they’ll say “and if you disagree then you are evil and deserve the death penalty” they need to be kept away from all power and influence we need more puzzles and video games to distract them
Okay let's clarify some things. Link below
The pope lied. The truth matters. Israel never attacked that church. The pope knows this. This is not even debatable. Shrapnel hit it, doing minor physical damage to the church (it is still operational, they have had services since) but apparently causing the unintentional deaths…
Regulations have gotten so bad it’s cheaper and faster for the Amish to build houses without power tools than it is to go through the standard industry channels.
🚨#BREAKING: The mayor of Chimney Rock NC has confirmed that if the Amish had not shown up, the entire town would have been "a ghost town..." For months, 50 members of the Amish community have come down from Pennsylvania to Western North Carolina... EVERY SINGLE MONDAY! Unreal.
Homeschooling is illegal in Germany and it’s the last law still on the books that came from Hitler.
The idea that they can make homeschooling illegal is WILD because it means you don’t even have control over how you raise your children? If the state owns your kids you are a SLAVE. If you don’t fight for this, what tf do you even fight for?
That was still new world, the real wrong turn was the 1890-1920 progressive movement :)
Maybe a Sisyphus?
They need to invent a slur specifically for people who always believe in statistical measures over immense empirical or observational evidence to the contrary.

Every time someone tries to make me consider 10^x shrimp as part of a thought experiment, I torture 10^^x shrimp in real life. You may say that sounds impossible, but it's irrational to assign any claim probability zero. Are you feeling lucky, shrimp?

Gen Z has more positive attitudes to socialism than capitalism, but we’re not going to fix that by just waxing eloquent about Adam Smith. We need solutions: the way to deliver affordable housing is bring down property taxes, build more homes, & cut red tape that restricts supply.

Exciting to see the first eggs go on sale in the US that don't involve the killing of day-old male chicks. Nest Fresh's "humanely hatched" eggs come from hens hatched via in-ovo sexing. France and Germany have now mostly ended chick killing; hopefully the US will soon too.
