Assassination is generally WAY outside the comfort zone of most.

I'm sorry to have offended you. I was having a discussion about LLM data trees and probabilistic searches which deal with "when is the thing the thing" problems and your comment about adjacent elements not being the whole made me curious about your meaning. I expressed myself poorly. I apologize.

OK. Let's not bombard this thread anymore.

Because stating the obvious seems unnecessary.

A wheel isn't, no. A single part of the whole isn't the whole. But at what point do enough elements become adjacent that the whole is represented sufficiently?
Am I reading too much into this? I do that on occasion.

No, it isn't. I think the metaphor is change over time with continuity of form or purpose. Hence, is what we perceive as "the thing" now and forever "the thing", and has it always been "the thing"?
I was curious as to what point that transition occurs in this thread scenario.

It's Deadpool. The plot holes and story threads to nowhere are expected.

I've got some really mind-blowing news for you in about 5 years.

Well, yeah. That's how that works politically.
I'm not defending them. I just think context is important to understanding. Those boomers who refuse acknowledge their privilege and deal with the consequences are the issue. Unfortunately, there's a lot of those.

The only accurate measure of one's intellect can be taken in toto as the life one lead, ascribed by all but self.

Well, OK. I will.

I had considered Demon Realm rules to be the ultimate out for anything in the series from episode 1. The whole thing is a *huge* RetCon anyway.

Eh, I like the sentiment, but it absolutely is. Economic sanctions are extortion. Embargoes are extortion. Weapons sales to allies can certainly be extortion. Do what we want or experience some pain is extortion.
But I think we can agree his methodology is far from statesmanlike or constitutional.

They weren't catered to, as such. They were born and came of age during a time of unprecedented growth and prosperity. While their Depression-era parents were drilling them on frugality, the very nature of what it meant to be successful was rapidly changing that advice into hypocrisy.

OK. You sold me on it.
And you were right about the last DB:D. It's nice to see a little GT love thrown in to make SS4 canon. Although that does raise a few questions about DB:S...

There's got to be something inside it worth storming. Like billionaires in search of redemption.

I don't know that Mr. Riordan's work is terribly accurate in its depiction of Greek Mythology. Will you be using it as a compare and contrast tool with Bullfinch's or Hamilton's works?

Get used to it.

"Prove your worth to me" is the ultimate sign of a shitty boss which can't even be bothered to learn how shit works.

No, Mark. Just, no.

You need to make it *very* clear to your friend that *all* their progress comes from *their* hard work and effort alone. Tell them that and make them believe it.
Once your friend can internalize their own self worth, those external forces will be greatly diminished.

Kent State shocked a nation just waking up to the reality which spawned those events.

His type "works" constantly.
However, most of his output is meaningless as it produces no actionable outcomes and is measured against nebulous and arbitrary criteria.
Give him a coloring book and some crayons with the promise of fridge door display to keep him busy.

I don't really care what significance these fools attach to the word as the only actions I desire from them is the discontinuation of their existence. After that, they are free to pursue any definitions they like.

Old man with a guilty conscience wanting to see the Pearly Gates. He wealth came from exploitation and his philanthropy from desperation.

His behavior is consistent with a sociopathic narcissist which makes his intellect contextually irrelevant. In short, he's a fool.

The scientific method is among the most important tools humanity has ever developed. It literally changed the way we view the world.
