Because this is a topic coming across my timeline again, let me be clear about something: voting *is* harm reduction. However, voting is harm reduction ≠ expend all your effort towards electoral politics. Voting is a simple action that you should do if you are at all able. To be able and refuse is to be indirectly complicit in the deaths that would occur under, say, a second Trump term. But you should be doing stuff outside the extant systems *alongside* spending time at the voting booth.

Anyway, in my ideal utopia, no one would ever have to pay for any necessities ever which means:

- free food
- free housing
- free healthcare
- free education
- free wifi
- unlimited library access

@jordyd@octodon.social Hey, listen, if it makes correct predictions, don't knock it, right? What matters is that what it predicts matches what we see, and, well, clearly this method produces correc—

even if voting is bad, it’s still important. to use the example of the prisoners dilemma,,

let’s say the best outcome is anarchy, when *no one* votes. if everyone votes, the most democratic candidate gets elected, etc.. but if only some people vote, we end up with a biased candidate

so unfortunately i can guarantee you that legions of centrist boomers are showing up to the polls tomorrow. that means the best two outcomes are off the table

if you don’t vote we get the centrist boomer candidate

Reminder: There is nothing "edgy" or "transgressive" or "controversial" or "politically incorrect" about punching down, paper-thin veneer of politeness notwithstanding.

@InspectorCaracal AT LEAST VULCANS ARE A FICTIONAL RACE WHO ARE PORTRAYED AS BEING THIS EMOTIONLESS (kinda). THIS IS TRYING TO DO HUMANS IN REAL FIELDS AND IS FAILING MISERABLY

@InspectorCaracal "as a science and engineering major"

No, you're looking for the maths and philosophy majors. Scientists and engineers are empiricists. Its existence is proof of its existence.

But, seriously, what the fuck is this bullshit? Is this seriously what people think those of us in the sciences are like? I'm pretty sure a ten year old writing Vulcan fanfic could do better than this bollocks.

theoretical astrophysics shitposting 

If our universe is indeed inside a black hole, then this implies that for at least one black hole, the question of “but what is inside the black hole?” has an answer that must include “smartphones and furry porn”

I finally decided to play around with my usb tv tuner. I can now watch TV from my laptop. So, that's nifty

re: maybe lewd, no context 

When I first heard that, my brain went to "bottom" as "ass", so it's your experimental butt, but then I remembered that bottoms are mostly a lewd thing around here, what with the whole top/bottom distinction. So, lewd.
