"We're not tasked with providing clean affordable drinking water. We can't be there. We're in business."

"We're not tasked with preventing food poisoning or affordable healthy food. We can't be there. We're in business."

What other examples can we make where "business" is an excuse for acting in a sociopathic way?

Notice that they never state she was an alcoholic. They also never atate she was a "high level" alcohol user. Just that she was an alcohol user.

You can make your own assumptions about her alcohol use, but in general these rules would also excluse a "normal" alcohol user with a congenital liver failure...

In Canada, drinking more than 3 drinks per week is medically considered "high alcohol use" for a woman... (6 for a man). This limit keeps getting lower year after year

If this can prevent you from getting organ transplants, then it encourages lying to your medical doctor about your current habits... That lady was not considered alcoholic, she just used alcohol in greater amount than the limit considered acceptable by doctors.

Latest stats show that almost 4 out of 5 people has exceeds that limit at some point in their life. This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use. (Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol. It's not about lacking donors.)

We should remove tariffs for European cars as well. Why can't I buy a small 4wd in Canada, when they have them all over?

Don't look at bone meal (in the same section of the store)

The house and pole line would fit in Quebec backcountry place or the maritimes, but the rock walls and the mountains don't fit as well.

They're so terrible at being lizard that they turn out to be birds...

Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

It would be my main reason to use the scenes...

Yeah, I meant to say that the incompleteness theorem proves that math cannot be perfectly pure and fundamental. I don't exactly care which field claims it, because I don't like to encourage artificial boundaries between disciplines. It's nice to use information theory results in physics :)

Following from this, then math isn't useless!

I was about to say "incompleteness theorem"!

 

Now that it seems decided that the word "weird" should be used in a derogatory way against sociopathic narcissists in politics, I have to be careful about how i use this word.

In the recent years, I usually used it to describe someone or something that was different in an interesting and charming way. I am neurodivergent in a way that is easily hidden (not that I make coucious efforts to hide it), I would often describe myself as just "slightly weird". I no longer want to use this word to describe myself anymore because of the above mentioned reasons.

In old literature, I've seen the word queer used as such, but today it doesn't really carry that meaning anymore. Although I wouldn't really mind if it confused people about my gender, I don't really worry about that. 😁

Any other suggestions ro help describe myself that wouldn't put the focus of the discussion on neurotypes?

 

This album is a blast and I've been streaming it so much, I want a physical copy. I can't seem to see it available anywhere.

I'd rather have a vinyl of the deluxe edition, but the standard would be good as well.

Do you know where I can purchase one?

I love how Zach doesn't event need to explain what they are screaming about.

 

Here's a joke for you: what's the difference between dogs and cats?

 

So it should be called "the big boing" instead of the big bang?

 

Today I updated my missile racks and put a bunch of cluster missiles (Rattler II) on them because i remember they used to be the beast next then.

Now I notice that they often hit the target without splitting into smaller missiles. Is there something like a "minimum split distance" or just a bug about them?

I like how overwhelming the number of pips becomes when they work well! 😎

 

Your soul is quantum-entangled with the computer during the transfer, so don't worry! Unless you believe in the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, because there's a bug in the software about that specific topic!
