I think it was profitable, at one point, up until the bait and switch that was Overwatch 2.

Bring your Obama merch boys, we're on our way to the Dem Klan Rally

They know it's rigged because they're the ones rigging the damn things

It's impossible for them to understand the idea that the Democrats might not also be desperately trying to counter-rig every election, and rather just have such a shit ton more voters outside the hostile voting environments that they still occasionally pull out a win now and then

I, a mere mortal, have no idea what the fuck this meme is talking about and I am slightly afraid. This sounds like Deep Math™️

It's an extremely Randall sort of question and answer, to be fair.

But holy shit, some of these other ones are amazing. The T-Rex question isn't the only one in there worth reading.

Professor: “A student asked me “So how do I use this in a conversation when my aunt is wine-drunk at thanksgiving and being a jerk again?” Which honestly is a fair question about philosophy and really changed how I teach rhetoric.”

This is the way. I've learned more Elden Ring lore during my dishes and laundry chores than I have playing the game. It takes me longer, because I get distracted by the video, but it doesn't bother me because I'm engaged with something.

I'm all for it being an available food source, but I'd rather it not be my available food source. If my choices are to eat bugs or die, fuck it, cook me up some bugs. But in any other situation I would find it difficult to handle my instinctual revulsion if I knew what I was eating.

As I understand it this is in place to prevent having to prosecute teenagers for having consensual sex. Which they're going to do, illegal or not. But if they were one or both below the age of consent they would legally not be able to consent and this would be considered a rape, easily prosecutable by angry parents.

It is genuinely good that it is this way.

I absolutely respect art irrespective of the artist. The problem arises when said artist continues to profit from my respect of the art. Take as a personal example, JK Rowling and her Wizarding World. I grew up with those books. I love that setting. But I'm not buying any of their merch or their video games or going to visit Disneyland to go to Potterworld because I don't want Rowling getting her mitts on my royalties. She created a series of books that captivated me and many others as children and I respect the hell out of that. But I'm not going to continue to fund her tirades because of it.

A movie seems like a similar case.

Also a market there. Especially among programmers. You might be onto something.

I am not a scientist, but I do like to watch them on youtube: We're pretty sure something we don't know about has a ton of mass. Otherwise a bunch of other stuff doesn't really make sense, for example the universe should be way way bigger than it is now without something unseen keeping it condensed. So the existence of "dark matter" is about as confirmed as it can be without observing it directly. What we don't know is what dark matter is, how to observe it, or how it works. But math, as we currently understand it, implies its existence pretty heavily.

Which does in fact mean that our math or understanding could just be wrong. Technically you're right, we DON'T know if there really is dark matter. But if we assume our current knowledge is correct we can make a pretty reasonable guess about it.

Honestly that really is odd. Not like they stop themselves from talking about any other of their heinous shit. Political violence, forced birth of rape babies, purposely driving children to suicide, gay murder, etc. You'd think "forcing the Jews back to Israel" would just be another everyday discussion to them. Forcing the Mexicans back to Mexico is, why not the Jews? That sounds antisemitic (/s).
