No BJs, this about animals.

Weird ones.

So it includes a 14-minute set of metaphors that turns to mud at about 3 or 3½ minutes, and the guy himself hasn't proven to be a particularly good resource as the phenomenon has blossomed.

Yet this is still a fascinating video for newbies, even those with no interest in the underlying topic.

The universe is big, but our imaginations are even bigger. This is consequential.

This is two weeks old, but I just found it today.

Warning: This is extremely shocking. You absolutely won't believe it.

It turns out that the University of Cornell created an AI to detect hate speech, and -- you won't believe it -- it turns out that when it comes to hate speech, minorities are by far the most egregious offenders.

I haven't been this shocked since Boy George came out of the closet.

Hmmm...how about go fuck yourself whilst pounding sand?

Is anyone else made really uncomfortable these days by anyone wearing any kind of red baseball cap? Like, I see one and my heart does weird shit and then I finally realize it only says Titleist or whatever. Maybe don't wear red caps anymore, normal people?

Obligatory red baseball cap:

So much for the Walgreens, I mean Washington Nationals...

And Darth, I halfway expected to click on that link and hear the old Association song.

Well, she did say "normal people."

You can't stop the signal.

Liar, liar, rain forest on fire.

Any reader of the New York Times and other mainstream media outlet would be forgiven for believing that fires globally are on the rise, but they aren't.

In reality, there was a whopping 25 percent decrease in the area burned from 2003 to 2019, according to NASA.

China has a mortgage bubble?

There's a lot working against China's most indebted property firm. China Evergrande Group is sitting on $113.7 billion in debt and its core profit fell 45% in the first half of the year. Real-estate growth is slowing, with banks under orders to curb home loans. President Xi Jinping’s refrain that houses are for living in, not speculation, has been cropping up more frequently.

Time to rein things in, right? Not Evergrande. The company, whose portfolio already includes theme parks and a football club, now wants to become the world’s biggest electric-vehicle maker in the next three to five years. It’s burning through precious cash – 160 billion yuan ($22 billion) – to build factories in Guangzhou.

Cam Paglia: Still the best.

China has a lot of bubbles IRA. Most of them government related. Xi's line about houses being for living in is in part related to the cities China built that have no residents.

cow-boom!

I think it behooves me to say these are terrible puns and I should be ashamed.

But I'm not.

So...would those be classified as cow borne IEDs (CBIED)?? Chik-fil-a cows hardest hit.

Is this the same vegan woman who had her Swiss citizenship application rejected because she's an obnoxious vegan or it's just a couincidence?

That seems useful, even if you're more about reading twitter than writing on it. I can't remember which commenter here recommended the GoodTwitter extention, but it's a Godsend.



"…Until they're 18" is a good line.

Aha! Perhaps you're not a United States native!

The problem might not be youngest-child belligerence, but the tin ear of undercooked assimilation.

Easy to imagine that in the old country, some toddling oligarchy nestled in the Tatras, this is how all the gruff adult hosts (un-melodically) communicate with houseguests at the dinner table.

"Your inferences are jejune & unwonted Grigory. Pass the cabbage."

Like that.

I'm just saying, it's a plausible scenario.

Lets Occam's Razor it Crid. The far simpler and more likely explanation is that you are ignorant and out of touch. Senile dementia is settling in resulting in impaired cognitive function and lack of emotional control. After all you are unable to refute simple arguments. Even ones with multiple easy to find counter arguments. Instead you respond with non-sequiturs and personal insults. Thus demonstrating a complete inability to react rationally or handle adult conversation. You are often emotional. Often in exceptionally disconnected ways. For example your objection to the concept of accounting in general or cost of living calculators in specific.

It is tragic when some people age and regress back to a child like state.

It's weird.

It's gotta be a nationality thing.

Naw. Senility hits people of all nations. Unfortunately for you there is no cure.
