small brain: computers should automate repetitive tasks so humans can focus on decision making and creativity
giant ever expanding galaxy brain at the center of the ultraworld: humans should do the rote boring tasks so the computers can do the lateral thinking and creative work
@melissasage Oh, you mean like sticking your hand into a glove covered in sensors and the signals interface with the wiring and you can read people's minds, right?
I'm typing this with just my index fingers, btw.
If only there was some way...some sort of electronic machine...that could take the drudgery out of solving problems human beings find tedious!
Writing reusable code is too hard, it's a lot easier and faster to re-solve, numerous times, over the course of hundreds of hours, problems I've already completed successfully

simple facts like "this is literally a logically impossible to solve problem within the constraints of our universe" are not deterrents to people who believe with a religious-like fervor that a computer is a magic box that can do anything if you just wish hard enough
4:13! You know what that means! Time to Homestuck!
I was born in 1984, so I should have figured from infancy that I was fucked
@troubleMoney Not even a little bit
George W complaining that "they" hate our freedom to vote was funny as hell, even back then, that fucking cheater usurper.
"They hate our freedoms" was some truly Orwellian shit, huh.
today's spicy political take on facebook will probably be lukewarm at best here, with a nice side order of religion
@wigglytuffitout A lot of people on wall street make large amounts of money from debt. If he truly believed that, he should be happy about it.

@wigglytuffitout How does one twist themselves, even within a Christian framework, to claim that it is a moral hazard to give students money to educate themselves?

article: forgiving student debt is a potential MORAL HAZARD!
me, leaning in close, lips on the mic: stopping the sin of usury isn't a moral hazard, it's a moral imperative. even if you're cool with capitalism, profit above all can be and often is immoral. go read a fucking papal bull about it you absolute motherfuckers.
Any time someone starts talking about Christianity appropriating Jewish culture, someone has to chime in with "The first Christians were Jews!" like that wasn't literally 2,000 years ago, as in, we keep track of time from roughly that point, so you must be aware of how distant that is from the present day if you so much as happen to know what year it currently is

ah yes, the two genders: "there are 0 genders" and "there are 
genders"
It's called technical debt because someone older and better paid than you did a halfassed job, then left you to deal with the problem while smugly calling you dumb and lazy for not understanding their shit code
True chutzpah is taking another religion's holy texts and using them to "prove" that they are actually evil, and you have replaced them in god's favor
Where the fuck is the kingdom of god? Jesus make up your mind!
Repent for the kingdom of god is at hand? The kingdom of god is within you all, you simpleton, you absolute jerkass
