I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.
So you missed out on the series finale where it’s a 45-minute flashback to Bigfoot barebacking Scully?
Edit: I apologize for the weird boner I just gave someone.


Hey now, you’ve got to use something to download Firefox on a brand new windows install.
Oh wow, it’s odd that only those are showing. Admittedly I’ve been kind of lax about making the weekly threads, but there’s certainly a lot more than four in the last two years!

I get this every time I have to play devil’s advocate. People get SO DAMN MAD on here despite their poorly argued positions…
People barely know why they believe something, let alone why someone else should believe the same.
So… I’ve been meaning to have an actual conversation with someone about this, but isn’t this kind of the way everybody here feels about the right wing?
Like… Aren’t they also kind of stupid, kind of weak, and kind of incredibly dangerous?





… But what exactly that revolution looks like and what the outcome of it will be is completely different for everyone on all sides.


Bad title. He’s criticizing the state of free speech in America citing the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation and people fired / cancelled over Charlie Kirk speech.


I’m aware. It’s not available for benchmarks yet (not until well into 2026 in fact) so all we have is corporate gospel. That is why I didn’t use anywhere close to the fastest processor available on the other end either. I made an attempt to take that into account.
Keep in mind that all of their bragging about speed is about the AI capabilities of the chip and only vs other mobile CPUs as well.

Unless you count… Y’know… Benchmarks or actual metrics of any kind.


I’ve had it fail to load a lot of stuff today. Something’s definitely up.
My insane conspiracy theorist mother in law would love this.
Sadly.
That’s fair, but comics like the above (which are endemic to this sub) aren’t about the extremes and are about standard human behaviours.
It’d be like someone seeing me double check the door lock at my house and saying “You must have OCD.”
I also find it mildly concerning that someone may see these memes / comics and self-diagnose themselves with a mental illness that they do not have since self-diagnosis (and wanting to belong to a group) is a massive issue in the internet age.
That’s been my exact response. So many things here are just… normal human behaviours.


God damn… just now while I was watching YouTube killed the playlist and then the whole account! WTF?

The part that doesn’t make sense is how a guess on a QC in a binary is any better than a scientist just guessing an outcome from a binary. Yeah, it can do it a lot, but if you can’t test the outcome to verify if it’s correct or not, how is it better than any other way of guessing outcomes?
Statistically, it absolutely isn’t. Even if it continually narrows things down via guesses, it’s still no more valuable than any other guesses. Because in all the whitepapers I’ve seen, it’s not calculating anything because it can’t. It’s simply assuming that one option is correct.
In the real world, it’s not a calculation and it doesn’t assist in… anything really. It’s no better than a random number generator assigning those numbers to a result. I don’t get the utility other than potentially breaking numerical cryptography.
That’s just the ones on TV.
I’m an economist and many of us don’t have much to do with currency economies and could be better described as “find the root cause experts.”
Hell, I use my skills in the IT field.
