Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

It’s such a gem of a movie, hits all the right notes

I don’t care if you’re on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

There’s something incredibly invigorating about using a blend of Listerine and hot sauce as lube

I mean wasn’t season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn’t enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.

I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we’ve got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?

My mom was a nurse who worked in geriatrics and so one day she came home from work and cooked us a big plate of spaghetti and started telling us about how elderly people with dementia would have no control over their body and would snot on their hands and then rub it on the the handrails in the hallway.

She should talk about how she kept on over and over again touching bare-handed massive piles of gooey green and brown snot while we’re all sitting around the dinner table trying to eat spaghetti.

Unlike you mere peasants all of my pilots are ranked as land viscounts or higher

Honestly, fuck Microsoft, I fucking hate their user abusive practices, but I feel like that would be illegal to some degree or at least actionable and some sort of way.

Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?

I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.

I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.

It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.

Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.

The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.

I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.

I think we are a lot better at pretending that people don’t kill each other often and for little reason than people from 1,000 years ago.

It’s almost as if the reason it was made into one of the ten commandments was that people did it so much that the leaders at the time felt they needed to try to put a stop to it.

Probably the same thing with lying and lusting after your friend’s wives and properties. In lieu of a government and system strong enough to protect you, you would have to defend yourself against your stronger or better armed neighbors taking everything they want from you, including your life.

Not even that. Omnipotence means that you can both make something impossible for yourself and still be able to do it. Paradoxes have nothing on omnipotence.

Jokes aside, I have baked my bacon and it works really well for preparing an awful lot of bacon very quickly.

Once you do that, you have bacon that you can quickly microwave and slap on a sandwich, plus you can easily collect all of the grease for making gravies or general cooking purposes if you so desire.

Then AI already exists and you have no memory or recollection of either helping to create it or accidentally contributing to its non-creation and therefore you being tormented by the AI would serve no moral purpose.

Any torture you would be experiencing in that simulation would simply be that the AI desires to torture, and you happen to be one of its victims.

Roko’s basilisk would still not be in play

I think you’re missing the point. The question is about a tolerant society.

Regardless of if the society itself is stable, for the society to be tolerant it must be intolerant of the intolerant, and therefore a tolerant society must be intolerant.

I don’t think that “nuh-uh! Uh-huh!” Rises to the level of a paradox.

The phrases can be contradictory without being paradoxical. It’s only a paradox if both of the phrases are true at the same time.

All of the “is infinite power so powerful that it could overpower its own power” type questions just annoy me.

Is infinite power so powerful it can do something that it can’t do?

Yes it can. And then it can do that anyway. Otherwise it wouldn’t be infinite.

Roku’s basilisk just doesn’t make sense to me because any semi-competent AI would be able to tell that it is not punishing the people that failed to help create it it’s just wasting energy punishing a simulacrum.

We are not going to suddenly be teleported into a future of torment. If the AI had the ability to pluck people out of the past it should have no reason to waste it on torture porn.

The problem with that particular paradox is that it’s not possible. Therefore one of the statements has to be wrong.

The phrase, “You have to be intolerant to be tolerant” doesn’t sound like a contradiction to you?

Tesofensine is an antidepressant with weight loss effects that can be purchased online without a prescription for research purposes.

It’s fairly expensive, usually running about $250 for a one month supply, but if you need a temporary break from your depression then it might work for you.

However, because it is a research chemical, all of the side effects of the chemical are not known and you would be taking a risk in using it even for a short period of time.

Chances are it is likely safe but there is still a risk and you have to weigh that against your mental health and your finances and the costs and difficulty associated with getting put on a traditional antidepressant prescribed to you by a competent doctor.
