it’s the narrative pushed by the government, and most people are insufficiently wary of the stories they are told by the powers that be.

if people abuse drugs because of a history of generational and personal trauma at the hands of racist, capitalist, i and imperialist forces, then the obvious answer is to counter those forces. if people abuse drugs because they’re just bad people who make bad decisions as part of an immutable personal failing, it is far easier to justify criminalizing drug use, imprisoning drug users, and using them as slave labor to fuel the machine.

at least, that’s definitely what’s going on in the US.

i feel like i read this exact post yesterday.

probably unrelated. vulture bees are from south america.

do you mean naturists?

naturalists: people who study plants and animals and such.

naturists: people who advocate being naked in public, usually for ethical, philosophical, or health reasons

why would you think that? one of the most prominent characters conflated into the “satan” character was the serpent in the garden of eden, and his whole deal was telling eve the truth, even though it got everybody in trouble with the big man. another prominent biblical “satan” story was that of lot, when satan just pointed out that lot probably wouldn’t love god so much if god wasn’t always giving him a hella sweet life, and you know what? he was right.

seems pretty clear, at least in biblical sources, that satan is a straight shooter.

could you explain the joke? i don’t think i get it.

this seems, idk, needlessly mean? like, it’s clearly trying to portray this programmer as bad, but for what? wanting to get a job? trying to improve their skills?

i feel like this is probably meant to be funny, but it just seems mean and sad.

are you suggesting that you should just drink watered down coke? gross.

Everybody needs a nuke

and yet, my campaign slogan “a gun in every pocket and a nuke in every bedroom” didn’t really seem to resonate with the voters.

so is your point that people should shun new experiences in favor of just doing more cocaine?

yeah, kinda curious what was in the other 49 tweets he made that hour that might’ve needed distracting from.

he was elected twice, sure, but in the first case, he lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes, and in both case, he didn’t get a majority, and the majority of americans didn’t vote either way at all.

it’s bad, but no matter how you slice it, trump voters make up less than a quarter of the US population.

that’s the one, yep.

MIRI seems to have their collective head on straight. i’d at least trust them more on the subject of AI than any of the blood swilling oligarchs running the big ai companies these days.

neither your family, nor a partner should get a say in that. it might just be a preference, it might be the result of some deep seated transphobia, but either way they oughtta just accept it if you don’t want to, and not try to pressure you.

it’s been a long time since i looked at brainfuck, but i suspect that ‘+’ denotes an increment, and ‘-’ denotes a decrement, so we’ve got one decrement and 20 increments.

1. blueberry please.
2. a bag of poop (but also most things that can send a message are solid)
3. she and her wife are going through a rough divorce.
4. monkey flip

1946 to 1964 is exactly the range of birth years traditionally assigned to ‘baby boomers’. anyone older or younger isn’t a boomer at all.

rude.

so the specific image adds nothing (since being arrested anywhere for anything usually ends up with being in a cell), and could just be any image depicting anyone in a cell?

perhaps it was foolish of me to think there was a joke here.
