In this thread are a lot of terrible takes from people who don't seem to understand that quantum computers are already a thing? They're functional, and they can outperform conventional computers at limited tasks. They will probably never outperform them at everything, and that's okay. You will probably never own one, and that's also okay. You'll probably never own a particle accelerator. They really should have just called them something other than computers. Scientific advancement is a good thing.

I mean, it is a crime. That doesn't make it immoral.

Nothing. It's posturing on both sides. That's all American politics is now.

You know, I was really excited to find a deodorant that said Pine on it and it actually smelled like pine, not sandalwood and cheap cologne. But this brand is so obnoxious that I'm genuinely embarrassed I ever used it.

I love this piece, but I wish they had another go at his eyes. They're fucked.

I bet I can guess who the exceptions are.

Yeah, my accelerationist ass was hoping Trump would win so the dem's boogeyman predictions would come true and catapult us all towards the end times. But they won't. We millennials know not to expect anything we want.

Speer is a very popular ammunition manufacturer.

Why do you need to paint your morality in black and white? There is complexity in all of nature; and if the goal of the artist is to hold a mirror up to the world, should that complexity not be reflected in the art?

Probably with a wider margin, let's be real.

My hate forms crystals if you agitate the solution.
