Well, “what is he smoking?” kind of has the same implication.

It took almost exactly 5 years from publication for that to be commonplace.
As a guy with long hair, I’ve learned to just roll my eyes at the gendering of hair products. The all in one shit is made with the assumption that it’s being used on short hair that’ll be chopped off in a few months max, so it doesn’t need to preserve anything. Long hair has to last years.
I don’t think people are nasty enough to him. Until he’s a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.
Capitalism in its current form has existed for the last 2% of human civilization. 5% if you count mercantilism as a form of capitalism. For the vast majority of history, people owned their own means of production.
Even the most oppressive tyrants in history understood the concept of bread and circuses. Most people will stay complacent when their fundamental rights are being taken away as long as they have their distractions. Taking away the distractions is something you only do after you’ve fully consolidated your power. They’re so obsessed with projecting an aura of oppressiveness that they’ve forgotten how to hold power.
That’s a bit of a false dilemma though. The two options aren’t “it’s a magical elixir with absolutely no downsides” and “people deserve to be locked in a cage and have their life ruined for possessing it”. Plenty of legal things can cause harm. 10% of people are lactose intolerant, do we ban dairy?
Hell, you can give away 990 million of it, buy a house, put what’s left in a high yield savings account, and live comfortably on the interest alone for the rest of your life.
Is there anything morally different between pretending to be ICE to break into people’s homes to rob them and actually being ICE and breaking into people’s homes to rob them?
Only suspected to be. Bukele himself concedes a roughly 20% error rate and it’s probably much worse than that.
“Oh but we used to live in fear of gangs!” You still do, you just traded one gang for a different, state-sanctioned one.
He also does it to ensure all his kids are XY because he’s a raging sexist, which explains why he’s such a shitheel to Vivian.
How exactly do you define advertising? An overly broad definition would forbid, for example, a dentist from putting a sign in front of their office saying they’re a dentist.
Maybe they shouldn’t be throwing out sieg heils and getting swastika tattoos if they don’t want to be called Nazis.
“Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?”
My conspiracy theory is it was chosen to deliberately harm the optics of environmentalists. Something with minimal useful impact and maximum inconvenience would turn people against the whole idea of environmentally friendly alternatives.
That’s not how that works. It’s not a DnD sphere of annihilation, it’s an infinitely dense point of matter.
He never intended to build the Hyperloop. From the start, it was a lie to shut down a proposed project to build a west coast high speed rail line.
I’m sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the “we’re just run of the mill conservatives” facade entirely.
The wound predates Reagan and goes back to the Civil War. Sherman had the chance to cauterize it, but he held back and let it fester, and here we are.
Because it doesn’t have any understanding of the rules of chess or even an internal model of the game state, it just has the text of chess games in its training data and can reproduce the notation, but nothing to prevent it from making illegal moves, trying to move or capture pieces that don’t exist, incorrectly declaring check/checkmate, or any number of nonsensical things.
