It’s the people who love to talk about strict types that tend to be the problem

Whoosh

We are judged by actions, not words.

I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all, but also shows the evolution through time of some of the larger structures.

The tendril things that converge into single celestial objects are clouds of gas condensing to form galaxies and clusters over billions of years.

It’s a handy way to convert any value to a Boolean. If window.chrome is defined and done non-empty value, double negation turns it into just true.

Why would you automatically doubt this? You are aware there are other places outside where you live, and different things happen there, right?

Sorry, but isn’t that exactly the batshit stuff they’re accusing? Citizens of those states deserve the same benefits, no matter how dumb they or their leaders are

Blessed be the fruit

I mean I hate him, but I didn’t get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It’s easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into “nobody knows”, like he always does.

Oh hai Mark!

Most interesting definition, I think, comes from contrapposto. Can it die? No. So long as it retains its “shape” more or less, it functions. If heated or denatured, it no longer functions. More like broken than dead.

Damn me neither

This is the same fucking thing. It is simultaneously 12:25am MDT and 6:25am GMT where I live. If you ask my computer what time it is, it knows it is 06:25:00-06:00.

Two sides of the same coin buddy.

What you’re describing is LITERALLY the system we have. UTC is a global, coordinated time that tracks solar time to a precision of less than a second. As far as my computer is concerned, my time is UTC (technically GMT, but they both refer to the same time) minus 6 hours. We all could choose to say, “hey, wanna meet for dinner at 3AM?” and have that be a normal thing to say in my area, and an odd thing to say odd in Europe… but nobody wants that.

How stoned are you right now

I’m imagining something more fluid, where the time it is depends on exactly where you’re standing and the position of the sun in relation to it. You’d need to factor the direction you’re traveling as well as the distance whenever you went anywhere. We’d have a lot more intimate relationship with our current celestial situation.

I think they’re proposing personal time zones, where every individual’s clock shows their precise solar time, and nobody ever manages to be on time to work ever again.

You are right, of course. There are things we can’t condone. But you realize that by saying it you sound exactly like the “all lives matter” response to BLM: technically correct, but oblivious to the context in which the original statement arises. When we say Palestinian lives matter, we aren’t saying Israeli lives don’t. We’re saying that you have forgotten that Palestinian lives even matter at all.
