  1. I'm told that the applicable Woke Rule is "healthy at any size!" This is separate from the "obesity crisis" because shut up.

  2. Considering what's taught in colleges and the circus that was the latest SCOTUS confirmation, he's not far wrong.

  3. Echoes of 2001 on IBM Researchers Teach Pac-Man To Do No Harm (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Did they also have Pac-Man stop to ask why the ghosts hated him?

  4. "Aw, fuck it, let's be evil."

  5. Re:That's Crazy on New Yorkers Sue Trump and FEMA To Stop Presidential Alert (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The plaintiffs are also concerned Trump might use the alerts to spread disinformation because IPAWS doesn't regulate the content of the messages.

    Sounds like they're asking for prior restraint, something that the courts frown quite deeply upon.

  6. Re:Global warming on Humans Are Causing the Earth To Wobble More Than It Should, NASA Finds (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Just as "Comcast" is now "Xfinity" and for much the same reason.

  7. The video is pretty widely available; just because Breitbart has it doesn't mean it's not real.

  8. To me, "ends" means the nice crispy bits from a smoked piece of brisket.

  9. Re:"Politically correct," ... on Python Joins Movement To Dump 'Offensive' Master, Slave Terms (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why Trump's election was a surprise. A majority of his voters stayed silent because they didn't want to be harassed or lose their job.

  10. If you listen to feminists about how frail and fragile women are, you'd think they were arguing for the patriarchy.

  11. You're either being deliberately obtuse or intellectually dishonest. Premiums have increased every. single. year. since its inception and have more than doubled since 2013. So, sure, "bro," whatever.

  12. Kinda like how all of the major hikes in the ACA were timed to happen a month or two after elections. Weird.

  13. We punish those who commit abuses. We tend to not ban things that can be abused.

  14. Searching camera feeds based on physical human traits. Quelle horror.

  15. Dyslexia strikes again... on Theranos To Close Shop (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who initially read that as "Thanos"?

  16. Re:Autonomous killing machines... on Google Funds A Starfish-Killing Robot To Save Australia's Great Barrier Reef (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    You fool! It's only bad when Americans hunt cute furry things or choose humans over animals.

  17. About a sixth of the "good" that People Who Are Better Than You do.

  18. Re:No such thing as "hate speech" on AI Still Useless at Catching Hate Speech, Research Finds (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 0

  19. Re:MEPR as a generalized solution to hate speakers on AI Still Useless at Catching Hate Speech, Research Finds (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    No trolling here! My point is that "hate speech," as currently defined, is little more than a toddler-like mentality that says "I don't like it so it should be banned." I'm not saying that people don't say hateful things. I'm saying that if you agree with banning speech that you disagree with, then you stand against the first amendment.

  20. No such thing as "hate speech" on AI Still Useless at Catching Hate Speech, Research Finds (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How do you catch something that doesn't exist?

  21. Re:Humanities degrees are anything but useless on Popular College Majors Changed Abruptly After the Financial Crisis (qz.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And when the intelligensia become the fascists? People will see through that bullshit (and are), want to stop subsidizing it via taxes, and be called anti-intellectuals for their trouble.

  22. Yeah! Just like how we sue Honda for drunk drivers! Oh wait...

  23. It's hilarious to see the people who say "the U.S. military can't be stopped!" are the same ones who will also say "the military suxors, they haven't won a war since the 40's!"

  24. ...founding fathers of a number of allies, such as South Africa.

    Who, coincidentally enough, is going through a simultaneous gun confiscation and land grab.
