someone re-invented email-threading. It's billed as a way to have "long and complex discussions." Their prototypical example? Yud's utterly pointless thoughts on imaginary scenarios conjured up by his immense brain. Orange site is skeptical and yearns for 4chan instead.

God damn history is cool. I have nothing interesting to say but thanks for this. I might actually go pick up that book, do you think it's suitable for someone who has basically read zero real history books?

guys, the robot can type rm -rf /, it's so over

the divide is too deep. Algorithmic content and garbage education got us here, kumbaya let's all be friends ain't getting us out.

nah. they're dumb. sorry.

yeah that one is kind of funny, but at the end of the day it fits right in the arguments that right wingers can't make memes-- the joke is cruelty.

as an outsider clicking through all those links..... wow. Wtf is the holy see? Wtf is apostolic episcopal jurisdiction? Who let these people cook?

Out of curiosity, can you post 1 (one) SINGLE right-wing meme that's funny?

holy fuck man i really wish I hadn't clicked on that hn thread.

butter

edit: was supposed to say nitter but I'm keeping it, deal with it

It's crazy, he co-authored the randomized algorithms textbook for a class I had in grad school. That and the information retrieval book he wrote are probably the two biggest components of his engineer cosplay, even to this day.

did ZIRP seriously rot some people's brains out? Who can believe that playing a video game could have a financial incentive (that's not something like grinding currency in a 100k player mmo)? This is so mind-numbingly asinine that I can't even come up with a sarcastic remark.

will no one think of the poor baby exec who makes 8 figures? how could they be so mean to him??

Ben Gomes is the counterfactual. I get the feeling you didn't actually read anything.

You have a lot of growing up to do.
