I'll just leave this here...

You're just showing yourself to be even more of a dumbass.

You have a mother, right? You may even have a sister. How do you think they will feel to hear you referring to women as "bitches" and "cunts"?

Maybe if you ever get close to an actual cunt you'll realise they're rather awesome things and perhaps stop using the word in a derogatory manner.

Also: What we hear when we hear you say "SJW"

argh.. typo... "right" should be "rich".

Though, politically, there seems to be an awful lot of overlap... Somehow I'm reminded of this scene. Ah, science!

:-P

Who cares? Let's just post big lists of web comics so we can all click and read and woohooooo!

Beyond the obvious (XKCD, Penny Arcade, Dilbert, The Oatmeal) there are at least these:

Same here. But honestly you probably don't want to be in the top 1% for income; those people are always the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Shoot for somewhere in the top 5% and you might not end up wearing a bad sweater, eh?

The top 0.1% is still 300,000 U.S. Americans, do you really think we're going to put that many up against the wall?

"Correlation is so highly correlated to causation that we're forced to conclude that correlations cause causation."

Still cracks me up. Probably caused by^W^W^WHighly correlated with reading hundreds of threads like this on Slashdot...

Thanks for the example. Sounds like a fun read. :-)

In another comment, someone linked to this, which is a somewhat related idea in four frames of comics: :-)

In the recently late :-( James P. Hogan's writings, there is a scene at the end of one of his Giants novels where an archeologist finds a (legitimate) advanced watch-like piece of technology in an archeological dig and throws it away, assuming it is a joke by someone on his staff. :-)

Anyway, it's interesting how humor and creativity are often intertwined, with humor often related to breaking out of our current mental sets.

On: http://amultiverse.com/2010/07/26/infinite-pest/ Could be. :-) Of course, how many levels of simulation go above them? :-) Who are their implementers? And the implementers of their implementers? Etc. An infinite chain? And then what levels in other directions make that chain possible? And those other dimensions work? How infinite could all that be? And is their any commonality, like Consciousness?

When I was a psychology undergrad around 1984, I read a (recent?) paper my advisor (George Miller) had laying around about levels of mind simulation, but I can't remember the author (Roger Shepard, Philip Johnson-Laird, Geoffrey Hinton, maybe a philosopher?). I looked through references in my own senior thesis just now, but nothing jumped out about that, and looking up those three authors doesn't lead me easily to such a paper. I'd like to read that paper again. The basic idea was that there could be levels of mental machinery that each supported the next level somehow. It was applied to intelligence (AI-ish?), but it might have been the first place I saw such an idea of multiple levels of intelligence myself, sort of as nested virtual machines. I'm thinking it must have been from a philosopher.

And the people running the simulation are asses: http://amultiverse.com/2010/07/26/infinite-pest/
