Wrong, it is an amazing film. Nothing bad about it

I do a two part variation:

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

!No eye deer (“No idea” with an accent)!<

What do you call a fish with no eyes?

!Fsshh!<

Woah black Betty

The reservation truck always fucks me up. The way he hops on the conveyor on his own, as if to say “If it’s my time, I’m going to go of my own volition” just punches me with this grave sense of nobility in the face of oblivion.

I’d say more “select from” than “churn out”. It’s not about generating a hypothesis, it’s about having a collection of hypotheses and deciding which should be your default until additional evidence is provided.

Hanlon’s razor says “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”, and “adequately” is pulling at least as much weight as “never”. If stupidity becomes a less adequate explanation, nothing stops you from considering malice as an alternative.

People use things wrong all the time, sometimes the vast majority of the time (e.g. “literally”). Just because people use a concept pseudologically doesn’t make it intrinsically pseudological.

But razors aren’t supposed to be logic in the first place. They’re not objective analytical tools to arrive at a conclusion, because they weren’t designed to be. They’re framing tools to help establish an initial hypothesis.

Occam’s razor doesn’t claim that the simplest explanation is true, it merely says it’s the most practical assumption, all else being equal. If additional data provides more support for a more complicated explanation, Occam’s really doesn’t require you to cling to the simpler one.

Similarly Hanlon’s razor doesn’t claim that stupidity is universally a better explanation than malice, only that is the most practical assumption, all else being equal. It does not require you to ignore patterns of behavior that shift the likelihood toward malice.

I mean sure, but my point is that he’s a sellout, not MAGA. He didn’t defend Trump, he defended his bag. It’s still bad but it’s not the same thing.

Then again, fuck, how many songs/skits do they have centered around breaking up? I wouldn’t be totally surprised if they spin this into a reunion thing after the heat dies. I can visualize the conversation like the show never ended:

“Dude, Kage, you know I love you. But that was some provocative shit you just said, and I don’t disagree. But I am on the line for tens of millions, with an M, contractually obligated US dollars. Dinero, Rage. Let’s just take a little breaky-poo, circle back after pay day, and use all that cash to double down on the righteousness. I’m gonna need you to take the heat, but it’s all gonna pay off in the end. We can’t lose! Two Kings?”

Maybe it’s just cope, but the recurring theme of betrayal indicates to me that either it was always an abusive relationship, or that the treachery is at least potentially performative.

Yeah, “next time don’t miss”, I’m familiar with the event. My point is it seems way more likely that the motivation there was “Publicly calling for the assassination of the president of the United States will probably make the major studios who pay me millions of dollars less likely to continue doing that.” and not “I support trump and didn’t think he should be assassinated”.

Is he? I figured he just sold out and didn’t want to jeopardize any of his contracts due to calls for political violence. Still disappointing, but I haven’t seen any evidence that he’s actually a Trumper.

The square has grown on me. Works just fine for reading documents, photos and videos aren’t terrible with the bars, and if I really want to I can zoom in to fit the vertical since most of the action is in the middle anyway. One pleasant surprise is that old media in 4:3 actually looks better than on a rectangle.

Somewhere between B and C. If I know more about a subject, I can usually tell pretty quickly. I’ll try to engage early on with a “yes and” kind of response that completes their latest point and demonstrates knowledge of what they were going to go on to say. I’ll try not to be condescending, and present my thoughts as enthusiastic dialogue.

Time to whip out the Mooches again

C?

Well …

As an American-born white male, I’m staying. If all the sane people flee the country, what does that leave behind? A bunch of right wing whack jobs with the biggest military in the world. You think our domestic problems are going to stay domestic? If we don’t stay and stand up to this, it’s going to spread worldwide anyway.

Not saying to not get your ducks in a row just in case, but I don’t think running is going to save you for very long. If there’s going to be a civil war, I’d rather our side actually have soldiers.

I dunno, that sounds like a fast track to being the subject of a murder mystery. I think I’m good.

You’ve never heard of the Trans Siberian Railroad Orchestra?

Plus he’s an incredibly influential media personality. 20 million people give a shit about what he thinks.

Possibly, or possibly he’s just looting everything he can while the music’s still playing
