    Students Boo Commencement Speaker After She Calls AI the ‘Next Industrial Revolution’

    Jump

  • Without the industrial revolution I wouldn't even exist; setting aside the butterfly effect of my parents never having met because they're from different parts of the country for a moment I owe my existence to modern medicine, which would not exist without industrialization.

  • What are your thoughts on internet trolling

    Jump

  • Trolling is a art. Trolling should be done softly, and should leave plausible deniability until and unless you get to a point where blowing your cover maximizes lulz. Trolling should split the room into roughly the following groups: 85% bewildered bystanders, 10% angry, and 5% who see what you're doing and either leave you alone or join in. Those numbers are fluid but the point holds that in an ideal situation the majority of people are either too confused to say anything or are on your side.

    As I've grown up (read: I am not a thirteen year old boy anymore) I've started to realize that beyond being mean-spirited bigotry is just not very lulzy. In general good trolling shines a light on how someone who is being loud about their very strong and very wrong opinions online is a complete moron. Annoying the fuck out of hate groups is also acceptable.

    Edit: there's also just being weird and fucking with people by way of a harmless prank

    In conclusion trolling is a land of contrasts.

    Poll: 72 percent say there’s too much money in American politics

    Jump

  • All I can come up with is a sufficiently powerful populist executive who can get people to the primaries in unheard of numbers and has the conviction to not only turn down infinite bribes but also to bully congress into voting themselves poorer. They also will need the courage and cunning to avoid being assassinated by the wealthy powers that be. Shouldn't be hard to find.

  • Yeah I'm pretty sure the bible says to pass judgment upon your sister and refuse to patronize her business if she believes differently from you. Jesus famously refused to spend any time at all woth people who weren't holy enough, thats why he got along with the Pharisees so well.

  • You realize you're supposed to think Dante's an asshole in that scene right? Like Kevin Smith literally gets in front of the camera and tells him he's taking Veronica for granted. Dante is a whiny hypocrite who deserves to learn a painful lesson. That is the entire point of the movie. There are a lot of criticisms you can level at Clerks but celebrating slut shaming ain't one of them.

  • To hide the soundstage they're building for the mars landing. It's my fault, really, I forgot to forward the order for the regolith camo dropcloths on time. The project lead decided there wasn't enough leeway to delay construction so it's been quite a strain on the PR team.

    Honestly I'm incredibly embarrassed. My manager is telling me it's okay and that everyone makes mistakes but honestly I almost wish they would fire me. Everyone here at Illuminati hq has been incredibly understanding and kind to the point it makes me feel weird.
