Comment They are raised to be angry simpletons, not men. (Score 0) 283

Listening to Joe Rogan (Peterson, or the rest..), watching UFC, and not drinking from a straw does not make a man.

Sitting in a wheelie chair playing video games while degrading others and feeling superior does not make a man.

The entitled rich kids who inherited their money have created this environment to keep them simple, angry and dependent. Now all these boys can do is "get learnt" by Thiel and Musk, work in coal mines or punch each other in the face for money.

Comment Torvalds' failure to adapt. (Score 1, Funny) 71

Instead of wasting human hours manually fixing the "compatibility glue" they should have written and trained AI to deeply understand all glue from the past and present and then used it to automatically keep the glue updated for all future versions without wasting human time.

These fools are stuck in the past. There is no reason not to support i486 forever.

If you want to challenge something you can't just sit back and feel it or assert it, you have to prove that what you believe is right, or something else is wrong. It requires work. Einstein did work. He used the scientific method, he didn't just assert that Newton was wrong and yell "but I can challenge things, stop censoring me!". Perhaps you just want to feel things, rather than doing the work?

Isn't that arrogant?

RFK Jr. must be held to account for all the dead children. He is making millions on the bodies of dead children.

Infectious disease kills. Vaccines reduce that number. Ideally we humans improve our understanding over time to get that number to 0

But more deaths is objectively worse than less deaths.

"Trust the science" usually means "Trust the scientific method/process", not individuals or assertions or some conclusion made at a certain time as "the science".

"Challenge everything" based on what? What if there is no basis for the challenge other than a human feeling or emotion? If you have an alternative, then you better be able to back it up with rigorous reproducible scientific experiments rather than just "I don't feel like that is true, look at me challenging everything!". The scientific method is all we've got.

Comment Rupert Murdoch owns WSJ is fully responsible. (Score 2) 86

Rupert Murdoch, oligarch owner of the WSJ is fully responsible for getting his US Citizen employee he sent to Russia back.

Rupert Murdoch is good friends with Putin. Don't waste tax payer resources on this one, put all public pressure and spotlight on Rupert, the owner and person fully responsible for this. Go google for the pictures of him and Putin.

Comment Re:Biden is a bad president (Score 1, Informative) 136

You must get your news from Rupert Murdoch and his minions or one of the other oligarchs. What a spin!

Biden is average and Trump was objectively worse (terrible numbers). But the oligarch owned propaganda machines are huge and churning.... the rich don't want to pay taxes (more loopholes, more politicians (grifters) in pocket!) and must ensure their kids continue to reign, so the middle class are spun left and right -- emotionally triggered by endless false narratives so they never follow the money and unite against them.
