Gakster's controversial takes thread:
I did this in the other site:
I will say, I will take up arms to change our counting system to Dozenal. The fact that a third is a REPEATING DECIMAL pisses me off.

I look at Rob Reiner's circle...and it's a who's who of 20th Century comedy...
We lost his dad at 98 in 2020
His other father figure two years ago at 101
Sid Cesar at 91 in 2014
When Dick van Dyke and Mel Brooks are going to your funeral, you died too young.

Ok, this is funny
I don't want to believe it. Let's hope Rob Reiner killed some other elderly couple.

I want my New York Knickerbockers to win this. It's a tournament to outlast all other teams.
However, I'll feel a pang of irony if THIS is the first time I see a Big Four fav team of mine in a trophy ceremony...

Do you guys think Proctor & Gamble collude with oil companies to purposely get oil spills so that they can renew the whole "Hey! Dawn cleans ducks!" ads?

Power dynamics empirically exist.
Logically, unequal power dynamics need a high burden of justification than equal ones.
If moral facts are about power dynamics, then picking out equal as "good" is not arbitrary.
Hence, moral facts exist in the world.

Pressuring how? We have never signed into the ICC treaty. Someone tell me how anyone there would give a rat's ass what we say....
The White House is pressuring the International Criminal Court (ICC) to alter its founding document to prevent it from investigating U.S. President Donald Trump and his senior officials, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday.

How Far Will Trump’s Pressure Campaign Against the ICC Go?
The White House wants the court to alter the Rome Statute so Trump and his officials can’t be prosecuted.

I will never shit on folks loving lower levels of sports. If you are someone who can't watch mid-major women's basketball or minor league baseball, then it's possible you just don't like those sports. They work like hell for their craft, and it's beautiful to see.

the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

Ok, look. Listen to me.
I was born in the Bronx. I grew up in Poughkeepsie. A sixth of my life was living in Albany. I've lived in Beacon and Kingston, and my fiancée is in NYC.
Poughkeepsie/New Paltz is the Upstate/Downstate line. The difference on the either side of the line is steep.

I think it's too basic to say that Bach is one's favorite classical composer.

I just call them "expression replacers."
People say you shouldn't say "AI" because it lets people conflate ChatGPT with the protein-folding thing or whatever but you can't just say "LLM" because as I understand it that doesn't include all the image generation stuff, and the term that would also cover images is "GenAI", which has "AI" in it
