Please don't leave comments that are just one-line sex jokes.


ETA: Oh, wait--this is one of those sex jokes where the poster didn't know they were writing a sex joke until after they had posted it.  Never mind.

I recently got hooked on a fun discord server. I'd never really used the app before but I'm enjoying it a great deal.


What other Discords do Mottezians enjoy ?

Calling all artists on the Motte! I am currently looking for someone to ink some scripts I have written for a one-panel newspaper comic called Rosa Luxemburg Thought..., where every gag is based on a tiny little Robber-Baron-Era American Communist is asleep in one corner and the cartoon is a dream balloon of what Rosa is dreaming about.


Then in the dream-balloon, you cut out old circa-1980s Family Circus strips and paste them down.


Then I get 50 percent of the money and credit as "writer," but when people accuse us of plagiarism, I pin it all on you.


Any takers?

Sweden has been protecting the Kurds from the Turks?


I thought they were one of the nations that wouldn't extradite followers of that guy leading a weird religious movement slash opposition group ... What's his name? Gul?


Oh, yes. Gul Dukat. That's it. Anyway, I thought that was part of Edrogan's beef with the Swedes. My mistake.

Can someone explain to me why teabagging this particular outgroup is a bad thing?




I mean, this particular group may well deserve tea-bagging*--just remember not to do that here, because we have the very specific rule about outgroups here; and it doesn't matter how good or bad a group is or isn't, that rule has everything to do with us and what kind of website we want to be.


.*  And any particular member of this group who may want and consent to tea-bagging is welcome to DM me, because I happen to be into that.

Given how important it appears to be for Ukrainian efforts, I suspect that its true utility will be in the military domain...




I haven't seen anything mentioning Starlink anywhere in coverage of the Ukraine conflict!  I mean, there was that wave of stories covering the donation, most of which predicted it would bring vital help to Ukraine's military, but those were coverage of an American company being generous--and likely at the behest of the same company's talented and experienced P.R. team--and not technically coverage of Ukraine.

I personally find it more likely that we actually have been born into a Grabby civilization, and are being fooled into thinking we’re alone. This is highly speculative though.




I also think we have been born into--well, I basically agree with you word-for-word right up until the very end, where "highly speculative" doesn't describe my views as well as "infringing on the copyright protecting a 2015 Wachowski film."


I mean, if there's  a better answer to the Fermi Paradox than "they aren't visiting Earth because our population too small for grinding us all up into a filmy paste and selling it as skin-and-tentacle rejuvenation creams wouldn't break even--by about 20%," I haven't heard it.

There was a scandal a while back that makes me uncomfortable about putting the United States of America on the list of countries that can make advanced hydrogen bombs.


I'd imagine the destructive power of any bombs our adversaries could field top out at Hiroshima, and mostly are “dirty bombs.”


For what that's worth, which ain't much.

Sorry to be confusing--but I've genuinely never removed a seat from a vehicle that had seats that could fold down to make room for cargo. I wonder if it's because I was raised in the blue tribe?

It kinda raises the question: what’s the point of all this? Why go through the motions [...] ?




Because Claudia Juana Rodríguez de Guevara heard from Dmitry Medvedev that fake president comes with a great health plan?  I bet fake presidents get platinum plans with zero deductible on like five dollar a month premiums.

Yeah, but it's the only part of the subcontinent I've personally visited, and I'm not comfortable with just sending medical supplies to some place I haven't seen.


If you insist on India, I did visit the museum of the Cellular Jail on the Andaman Islands—I could try and find out if there's a hospital there, even though all I saw was the museum, a lumber mill, and a cricket pitch.

Now I can understand that a resurrected vampire might find it novel or even contentious to think that increasing the incidence of psychopathic traits across the population might be undesirable.




But can you turn that one-sentence pitch into a 12-page treatment in time for lunch next Tuesday with Mr. Penn?  (And Wednesday with Mr. Cage, the safety school of Hollywood Productions.)

Were I that dude in the black sweater The Truman Show guy, not Steve Jobs, I would want to create a double-blind study of 1,200 babies, half raised in a world where man-woman marriage is the unquestioned norm and half raised in a world where guy-guy stuff has social capital: then come back 50 years later and see which one had better outcomes.  Because clearly being raised in world that's conflicted about it is worse than either one of those.


Do we have the compute to run an experiment like that on AI babies?


Are we in a simulation hypothesis computer as a control group for an experiment like that?


Will becoming aware of that be an error that whatever is running the experiment writes "tainted - discard from study" on the universe and throws it in a biohazard bag?

I mean what would anyone have to say to that which would save the moment for decorum.




Among English speakers, I generally use body language, facial expressions, and context clues to send the message I am not a person who is concerned with decorum. Please feel free to depart.


I do hope that sentiment was able transcend the language barrier whilst I was stationed in Japan. The protests against our presence always represented a minority of the electorate; with luck, the participants were all political instead of personal.

Alternatively, they were possessions of previous owner inherited by new owner, who was not interested in Epicureanism, put them off shelves into storage space and forgot about them.




That's a highly plausible interpretation; and not in any way incompatible with this library being one of the most important advances in the human search for truth.


Certainly Epicurean philosophy has a greater claim to the word "truth" than whatever anyone on here may have to say about Hunter Biden.

They had a great habit of casting against type. In the season four premier, one character says of another "maybe Mao isn't so bad if he works for you."


Mao is played by Nathan Lane.
