I think in a way it's like quantization which is lossy compression

Yes but government is ultimately good and does much good. Our politicians are mostly good (there's 500,000+) because it's people like us standing up to work policy. The idea that our government is innately bad and that it's just bad people doing bad things is so tiring.

I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software -- their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)

Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is "get a better computer" because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to "why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?"

I tried googling 'jimmy fallon vulcan' and couldn't find that picture, just him joking about a statue. It's spot on though

Musk pulled his dick out in front of that woman (aka his employee) and tried to pay her for sex. Offered her a horse. Ended up with his company paying her $250,000.

Musk had that bizarre moment where he called someone a pedophile for turning down a PR stunt. He has ties to Epstein. He cozies up to Trump.

He's a sex offender / sexual predator. He wasn't convicted -- he's the richest man in the country paying a quarter of a million to keep people quiet.

It's going to come out that he's been raping kids and it's going to be so obvious so many signs everyone knew blah blah blah.

They're unaliving censorship, or however younger generations say it.

We're dealing with people who think the best way to send a message is to hurt more people and destroy democratic institutions.

They watched the Titanic and thought the people losing their shit and dragging everyone down with them was a good play in a crisis.

At least if the ship goes down the rich quarters will be below water too! That way they'll learn to treat us better next time.

When I looked into claims about Congress being lazy I learned a lot about how more bills used to be passed, but the bills were small. As time went on, less bills were passed but they had more in them. Which means that saying Congress is doing less because there's less bills doesn't really fit reality and how you'd talk about Congress if you knew anything about Congress. But politifact scores this as mostly true with a small tidbit where an expert brings up this exact problem; go by content, not bill numbers. You have to do work and think about what Congress is doing instead of picking a number out of a hat.

Yeah Mormons don't drink if other Mormons would find out. He's drinking wine at home not in public.

A lot of jobs need constant handouts from their work force just to get things done. But they usually find a way to handsomely pay those at top no matter how much workers are having to do extra. Shouldn't be so much sacrifice and stress considering what top executives receive.

If it's anything like the places I work, they specifically tell you to be very careful about what you wash away.

I like the wasps around my house, they're Apache wasps I think. I've shooed them away, worked next to them, they just watch me or fly around. Seems I need to really try to anger them.

Mud daubers are cool too but their life cycle is nightmare fuel, I feel for the spiders.
