  • Don't gaslight me. I remember that Russian agent in October 2016 yelling about Hillary Clinton and stuff he said he had on her. Literally every single time I heard, read, or watched the news his fucking face was there going on and on about the embassy bombing or the emails.

    Sorry your boy sucks Putin off but I am willing to bet when he does the condom doesn't mysteriously break.

  • Yeah sure but it's the scale and sincerity.

    Me telling you my opinion on something is just that. I am just some guy. I don't have access, or even want access, to a billion bots spamming my opinion.

    Also my opinion even if applied really doesn't mean much practically. Generally speaking I am pro infrastructure so if somehow the government spent more money on infrastructure that only translates, at best, to a small raise on my part. Not the same as say a major corp.

    You see a community board where people can put up ads. What you expect to see are piano lessons, apartment for rent, tutoring etc. little things that really only matter to one person. You don't expect some megacorp to rip every sign down and turn it into a billboard that blasts from speakers each time someone walks past.

    Basically it's a question of degree not of kind. It might be that it is all the same kind but the degree is so vastly different.

  • It's the new thing privileged people are doing. Throwing soup at paintings in art gallerias in Europe. They target ones that are behind glass, "just a prank bro". Anyway it's all a ploy so they can "raise" awareness about the Whales, Tibet, or Firefly being cancelled or whatever cause de celebre is hot this week.

    Actually solving issues is difficult and slow. Throwing stuff is easy and makes you feel good about yourself. And in the end, only the feelings of the children of privilege matter.

  • I saw the video. He waved a gun around.

    Waving a gun around is always provoking.

    Waving a gun around is intrinsically aggressive and provocative, no matter how much you insist that it isn't. Rittenhouse did literally everything wrong that merited the disarming attempt on him thrice that day.

  • I designed a quencher system that failed closed, no water flowing, during outages once. Granted I was an intern but still not my proudest moment.

    It's weird now as my employer is slowing moving into motion control tech for waste. Seeing the changes like having to really think about hardwired limit switches and safety relays. Chemical world I feel is easier.

  • The dude never existed but had he existed he wouldn't have said that and has he said that he wouldn't have meant it the way you think he did.

    The Roman state religion worshipped the emperor. His face was on the currency. Monotheistic people are obviously going to take issue with this. About 2/3rds of the population there thought it was fine, just using money not worshipping a human, 1/3rd thought it was totally not fine and you couldn't use the currency. However, everyone agreed that in the temple you had to change the coins.

    Ok so Paul's followers were running his fund raising stuff and this controversy was still lingering when the author of Mark came on the scene, despite the temple being burned down. Mark needed the fundraising to continue and needed people to think Paul was the best shit ever. So he made Jesus weight in on the issue and weight in in such a way that would apply to the modern times with no temple around.

    No analogy is perfect but imagine if Ted Cruz claimed to have found a secret document that George Washington wrote saying that the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to abortion. That was roughly what was going on.

    Even if there were a historical Jesus and he historically took this side on this issue that doesn't mean he was taking a side on a related issue that hadnt happened yet.
