Desk jobs like programming are nearly as bad as smoking based on some of the research I’ve seen. We could just make smokers and programmers pay higher taxes. I guess smokers already do; learned recently that cigarettes are like $10 a pack,

This whole thread feels like an Iranian cyber attack.

“Christian fundamentalists are influencing US policy to a noticeable degree.” Prove it. Cults that use Jesus’ name are not representative of Christianity. The Waco cult, Theosophy, etc. Israel influences our policy and I can provide copious

Anthropic: totally cool if you use our tech to kill women and children if you do it the right way, but not totally cool if you use it for certain types of surveillance. The public: Anthropic are so noble, we should give them ever more prai

Definitely not AI. We all know about Jeeves paradox. It must be the taxes on corporations (tarrifs). Taxes on business are always bad.

Absurd. There are very few Christian zionists amongst Christians, and a dwindling number of Christians overall, most especially in the suburbs. Christian zionists are almost entirely poor uneducated (hence their misreading of scripture) rur

There are not many Christian zionists in decision making positions in the US. You’ve named 1 person and how much power does Cruz actually have. The powerful are non Christian zionists. That much is blatantly obvious. Kushner, Witkoff, Lutni

How is it in comparison to Ukraine, that’s what interests most people. I recall the last admin spending like no tomorrow on Ukraine but obviously Russia is a bigger opponent than Iran.

And it’s very hard to actually steal a cellphone since it’s always with you, whereas houses get broken into all the time.

Thanks for pointing this out. I hear people say this over and over, if Iran only had nukes it would be safe to continue propagating terrorism as it has been doing. It’s obviously wrong, as you point out. Russia has nukes. India has nukes. H

I remember when people said the exact same thing about Google. Youth is wasted on the young.

> California cities could trivially fix their budget problems by satisfying the demand for housing by adding density I just wonder if that isn’t a totally naive, laughably unthinking remark to be making?

Or treaties or accords. All basically the same if squint. Sign something like the Paris Accord, you’re basically taxing consumers.

Old people shouldn’t be on the internet. Most people shouldn’t be on the internet. Most of the internet shouldn’t even exist. I’m sure most here feel differently. So be it.

You could, but presumably most people call. I know of such a place. They wash cars on the premises but you could walk in and arrange to have a mobile detailing appointment later on at some other location.

I for one enjoy the plausible deniability afforded by the iOS keyboard. On occasion I may make intemperate remarks online or curse at someone I shouldn’t. With an iPhone, I can just follow up with “sorry, iOS keyboard!” or “oops spellcheck”

This is wrong. Protein displaces other macros, ie carbs and fat. We get too much fat and carbs. A very good balanced take on the new guidelines can be found on “talking with docs” YouTube channel. Even the vegetarian doc agrees with priorit

A wealth tax is not an obviously great idea. It’s worth having a better public debate on that topic.

Love oddlots. Still grin when I recall the episode they did with Sam BankmanFreid. The transcript is worth reading if you haven’t before.

“But at the same time, Carney scrapped an electric vehicle sales mandate introduced by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2023,” As you write, it appears kind of random. There’s an Aesop fable to the effect, “when you try to please eve
