There is no point along the chain of command—from then-VADM Bradley down to the crew member triggering the missile—where anyone has any excuse whatsoever for giving or following that order.

I just fell for an AI video for the first time. I only realized it was AI after reading the comments.
At this point I'm prepared to definitively conclude that AI is making the world a worse place and should just be banned - nuke the data centers from orbit, full Butlerian jihad.

The thing about the Onion is that their central mission is performing "being right"* and "being funny" is a distant second place

Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

I honestly almost respect the arrogance to walk in that room and tell lawmakers with a straight face that people clinging to a burning/damaged boat were “continuing their drug mission,” a true navy seal special

I've said it here before, but I never had much empathy for Barry Bonds until I arrived at my highly-competitive college, and the people most who mostly commonly had adderal rxes & extended time testing were wealthy kids from elite prep schools

I was raised with a general sense that the Falklands War was a bad thing because Margaret Thatcher and was genuinely quite shocked when I found out the facts as a teenager.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”
“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Also the hard part about calling a bubble isn't seeing it's happening, it's getting the timing. Alan Greenspan's famous "irrational exuberance" quote was from 1996 and that bubble lasted for four more years. Me and random friends all called the housing bubble but none of us timed the crash right.

This is a fascinating article because of how outraged it gets about fundamental facts of not factory farming, but the domestication of animals, period.
Did you know that *farm animals* that no longer serve a *use* are killed for their *meat*?
How about that *most* males are *castrated*?

Two weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned. But this feel-good story is a window into the dark role of forced reproduction in animal agriculture.

The Internet Loves These “Gay Sheep.” The Real Story Is Much Darker.
A much-hyped fashion show with wool from “gay rams” obscures the brutal reality of an industry that exploits sheep sexuality at every turn.

The only thing that might keep me from going full Mauritanian guy would be the knowledge that I apparently have only months to "live".
I'm also not sure I would have tested the hive mind to the degree Carol did, in terms of pissing off something so clearly capable of utterly destroying me.

a lot of guys watching that show are lying to themselves that they wouldn't be a variation on the mauritanian guy by day 4. i, meanwhile, know i would not leave my house or want to interact with anyone, so i'm built different.

I'm sure this is true. The issue is that this is primarily a benefit to existing senior software engineers, who have the best of both worlds: a little machine that writes code better than juniors, and the skills developed from their own traditional learning process to manage the little machine.
At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars...
Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

I don't think it's a slur, but I think the basic principle applies that the group to which a label is affixed gets to collectively decide whether that label works for them.
