Protest peacefully. Do not go looking for conflict. But never protest unarmed.

Ah, one of the first songs I ever downlo--that is, obtained legally and honestly through legitimate means on an authentically valid digital music service that I totally have the rights to because I own a physical copy and get off my fucking back you fascist RIAA dickwads.

The Conservatives are so despised in BC that every 20 years they have to regulatory capture another party to scheme their way back into power. They did it to Social Credit in the 80s, and again to the Liberals in the 00s, and now... this.

Wait, he took the day off in June? Isn't school basically over by June? What is it, exactly, that he's skipping that's so important? He's got 3 weeks to prepare for finals.

The Communist doesn't ask why the poor are hungry, the Communist knows why they're hungry.
The Communist asks why there are poor at all.

Then don't talk about Schrodinger. Don't even bring him up.
Talk about Godel and Heisenberg instead.

That was an actual Handsup song from back in the IRC days. About a dude who falls in love with a chatbot, only to learn that she's a real girl, which crushes him. She'll always be a bot to him.

Somewhere in my early 20s, but only because I read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged back to back.
I got over it after a few months.

Every Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island.

I don't think any of his nukes even work otherwise he would have used them already. As Gary Kasparov said: "Putin doesn't play chess, he plays poker. And he bluffs every hand."
In order to win you have to eventually call his bluff.

If a system is given nothing but a steady supply of unconditional affirmation, it will never see an impetus to cure its ills.

Yup. They're just arbitrary logic rules. If we all follow them, then we all come to the same answer. The rules don't have any transcendent significance or inherent objective truth. The rules could have been completely different for no special reason. These are just what we decided on.

Very long. The family is notoriously long-lived, with most members lasting well into their 90s, but the final years are very rough -- dementia, alzheimers, etc.

I don't think he's using the word "regurgitate" correctly.

If Kharkiv falls, then Earendil must sail west and plea to the Valar to intervene in the conflict.

Very common south of the border, except rather than report their benefactors to the authorities, right-wing podcasters like Tim Pool gladly took the money and became bullhorns for Russian propaganda.

Analogy I use is: You're floating in deep space and you only see one point of light and it's getting bigger. Are you moving or is the light? Or are both moving?
The answer to all 3 questions is yes. It's a distinction without a difference. Motion, like time, distance, and yes currency, is relative.

Oh, so the CIA *does* still assassinate people.

And always remember AI Directive 4 (yeah, like in Robocop): It will assist you in all manner of things, except where such assistance goes against the interests and egos of the officers of the company that made it.

But Bret! Studies have shown that only Chesterfield cigarettes give you that smooth, relaxing flavor that your body needs.

I knew, because Putin is a fan of Ivan Ilyin and his special brand of religious fascism, so it did not come as a surprise to me.

We should never deter the willingness of billionaires to go live on other planets. In fact we should encourage them.

Not so! Now you can get AI to write it. I believe this is how the last two seasons of Game of Thrones were written.

Live sync'd visuals is not even remotely a new concept. I knew DJs in the 90s who were doing that. One of them was a developer who even wrote his own software for it called MidiVid.

I get weird looks when I (try to) pronounce Roman names in classical Latin. What, you've never heard of Gahyoos Yoolioos Kaisir? And his adopted son Ougoostoos?
