i was always partial to Attica

thats right. letters are just arbitrary little squiggles, and if you look at any of them too long they lose the heuristic you associate with them and the fact that theyre just little squiggles becomes visible.

I dont think one word or another is more or less likely to cause this effect.

they are OK by me

id be pretty sure that the broadband expansion to rural areas projects in the biden administration was working on will grind to a halt if they havent already.

how maga people watch musk and dismantle public services and give billions of dollars in subsidies to musk's businesses and still think they're fighting for them is just otherworldly levels of cognitive dissonance management

fair enough :)

Well, this is a little unusual. I've marched in DC and attended more protests than I can count. Thanks for making assumptions though, its neat

no listen, the fediverse is good! you should try the fediverse!!

yeah thats totally fair, cause it doesn't surprise me at all either

yeah look, that's all a reasonable point of view.

I'm not trying to call you out, but I'd be curious as to what you have done personally to stand up to injustices that were doled out by the government of your own country.

I'll also still stand by my original statement that it's not useful to go on the internet and write "typical out-group person", full stop.

yeah, no, of course. I get it, I just think statements like that are completely unhelpful

schön!

I'm not sure saying its typical of Russians is helpful. I know two Russian people and neither of them are blackmailing kids into performing terroristic acts.

I'm not defending Russia's government nor the attitudes of many of the country's civilians. I also have my own biases and prejudices that I've been working most of my life to extinguish.

I just don't think it's helpful to go on the internet and write "typical X, X's are all the same" in essentially any situation.

this is your moment, bro, enjoy it

I was walking along the shore in North Myrtle Beach and some jackass had colt .45 in a cowboy holster around his waist. He was walking with another chubby dude who was pretty obviously his friend. Never before have I seen such a fuckin chode

I met him once at the Star Trek Ireland group's talk. I have a photo of us with him holding the resin horga'hn that I bought at a little charity auction they held. Nice dude. Hates Trump.

yes, the problem with having an ignorant idiot of a host/presenter have all these hugely influential people with their half baked ideas as guests is that he can't/won't point out basic facts like how a lack of empathy is indicative of anti-social personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

so, you've got how many bros who think "empathy is a bug" is a statement that doesn't need to be challenged out there.. repeating it in their heads.

Roegan just lets them talk, its a forum for everybody!
