In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

I would suggest to compare them both when they talk or when they are in the public.

It's like you've never watched a video of Trump speaking. You could go to Youtube right now and do that, if you weren't so busy bending over backwards to defend Trump.

You definitely win the most dishonest argument of the day award.

“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

This one just pisses me off. It's framed so dishonestly.

I can recall extremely specific things about when people I know died. What the weather was, what I was wearing, what video game I was playing when I heard the news, and so on. But I couldn't necessarily pull the right year out of my brain without checking. Or necessarily even the date for some people.

I promise that Biden remembers the death of his son in whatever specific way is meaningful to him. It might not be "on this day/month/year." It might be "on a Tuesday" or might be "a cold snowy day when I was baking bread." I have no idea. But this just isn't how memory works, and it's hurtful, evil even, to print something that dishonest. It boils my blood to read such dishonest reporting.

The Big Mac set in Japan is ¥750 right now.

And Burger King is even cheaper.

It baffles my mind that people would pay $18 USD for that shit. I visited the US last year and while prices in general had definitely gone up since the last time I was there, there is absolutely no justification to pay $18 for McDonald's. It's crazy.

Crybaby fascist Republicans: "Cake shops shouldn't have to do business with people they don't like!!!"

Also crybaby fascist Republicans: "Disney should have to do business with me no matter what I say or do!!!"

I can't wait to see Disney counter-sue these fuckers for this ridiculousness.

Non-wankers, in fact.

So you decided to make a pro-China anti-US argument by linking to a flat-earther meme?

You alright there?

Isn't this Castro the same guy who keeps suing to block Trump from getting on the ballot? He's nothing but a clown doing this for attention. These aren't serious lawsuits, and if anything they end up hurting the cause more than anything, by making a mockery of the situation and making it harder for legitimate complaints to get the attention they deserve.

There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor

Bingo. And this time we're the horses.

I doubt that stores will only have one employee

It's already here, my dude. Not every store, but some are doing this now. It's just a question of how fast it will spread.

IT guy here, I am not that worried about AI

That's pretty much because you're an IT guy. You're in an industry that AI won't replace any time soon.

If you were a cashier, or a stock clerk, or a busboy, you should be terrified by AI. The speed at which those jobs are already vanishing is astounding. The other day I was at a restaurant, and I never interacted with a human. The ordering was done by touch panel at my table, the food was delivered to the table by a robot and I paid at an automated terminal. I don't know how many staff were on duty but it had to be a fraction of what it would have been a decade ago. I bought clothes last week and there was one employee in the store, overseeing the self-checkout lanes (but really just sitting idly by in case anyone had issues). I read an article yesterday about how robots are now being distributed to convenience stores that can clean, stock, and reorder items, so these shops will pretty soon have only one employee in them.

The gimmicky shit that your browser AI and chatbots can do is nothing compared to how this is already revolutionizing the world.

The author wasn't making a logical argument, so there's no need to address his "logic."

He's a tourist who spent some time in a foreign country, and came to some very sweeping, rash conclusions about an entire country's culture. It's shallow, judgmental, and tragically commonplace among self-centered tourists who think they can understand an entire culture after 2 weeks living in a hotel on someone else's dime. I am so done with the "white dude waxes philosophical about Asian country" trope.

Republicans gonna repub.

"It is the result of Korea maximizing the bad points of Confucian culture and the shortcomings of capitalism."

"In Confucian culture, there are no individuals....

"In Confucian culture, we do not try to empathize with mental health problems...

"When you learn Korean culture...

I love when tourists (let's be real: rich, white, American tourists) visit a country and come back a fucking expert on the culture, filled with all the judgmental wisdom to dish out why that culture is inferior to their own.

Fuck this clown and his "wisdom."

It's going to be weird not seeing his face on every police box in the country anymore.

THAC0 is just subtraction instead of addition. I'll never understand the hate it got.
I have no problem with ascending armor classes and attack bonus. The math is the same. It's easy and intuitive. But if you're having issues subtracting whole numbers less than 20, you've got a problem bigger than the wrong game system.

Crybaby right wing Karens boycotting airlines is like the best news ever.

Airlines could use this as a marketing point. "Fly Such-and-such Airlines, we're boycotted by Nazis!"

Yeah that jumped out at me too. What a privileged bunch of crap to spew.

Our brains are instead programmed to focus on our immediate needs.

Yes, we are "programmed" to buy things that we need to live, like food, shelter, and medicine. I'm pretty sure most people would save if they fucking could. You'd think that "a certified financial planner and expert in financial psychology and behavioral finance" could come up with something a bit better than another avocado-toast-like victim blaming.

Unless theyre scrapping 2077s engine and starting over completely in a different engine for Cyberpunk 2.

They previously (last year or so) said this was their plan.

Thanks for taking the time to read it and for responding!
