From Puff Daddy to P. Daddy to P. Diddy to just Diddy, and now The Diddler.

You want rampant voter fraud? You got it!

Nah, I’ve been working on my grunts since college or even earlier.

All the comments assume everybody else isn’t also immortal. I forget the title and author but there’s an old sci fi story (or novel?) about a future where everybody lives for centuries, and they’ve found that the brain only retains a certain amount of experience. They have long careers, get tired of doing whatever, re-educate and do something else, or even have multiple families they eventually forget about. A couple of the characters are surprised to find out they used to be married like a century earlier. To me that seems vaguely like reincarnation, and I kind of don’t hate the idea. I really don’t see any downside to that scenario, or even just going on forever.

People are focused on having regrets and negatives that last forever. But buck up li’l camper, you can learn to move on from stuff. And I say this as a dad whose daughter had cancer at age 10 (she survived). It was hell and I wouldn’t want to live through that whole period again, but I don’t consider it a reason not to want to live forever. The trick is to learn how to cope with these things and not let them outweigh the good experiences you have.

Yeah I would guess MAGA but a leftist, rightist or anything-ist can be stupid and do stupid things.

I think the practical result would be the same as any existing upvote/downvote system, because people don’t objectively evaluate content for being well researched or thought out or expressed in good faith, they upvote what they like or agree with and downvote what they don’t. They’re going to do that no matter what you tell them to do.

Blockading Cuba has never made sense. If communism is an inferior failed system that can’t compete with the freedom of Capitalism (cue heavenly sunbeams and angel choirs) why not leave Cuba alone and let nature take its course?

Does anybody actually think Vance is gay - or more to the point, does anybody GAF?

I don’t understand why anybody would complain about that. It’s like complaining that too many people wear jeans.

When you can’t train police not to be racist, just give up and make shit legal. What could possibly go wrong?

Like everybody else I object to what Bezos did, but boycotting the paper isn’t going to tangibly hurt him, financially or in any other way, and it certainly won’t change his behavior. The only people affected will be staffers who get laid off or have their salaries cut because of lost revenue. But hey, at least the social justice angels get to feel good by satisfyingly lashing out, and that’s what really counts, right? The fantasy that they’re fighting for a better world.

Commander in chief vs whining bully in chief.

Waiting for the car’s MAGA owner to be arrested and prosecuted. Probably expecting an eventual pardon from Bonespurs. Good luck wit dat.

TBH I miss 80s shorts, which knew their role in the cosmic order and didn’t try to be pants.

This guy cargoes.

That’s what I always thought - I think it would work to use a recording head as the electromagnet, treating the player’s playback head like tape.

Yeah, I think this is a great idea. An automatic implementation would be easy if it’s a repeat of a that was already posted. Somewhat more difficult if it’s the same news but from a different source - dunno if that’s even technically a repost but it kind of is.

That’s not a terrible idea - it would be a link to the existing discussion of the topic, which is informative. I like that better than people just whining RePoSt!!1!
