His pattern recognition is through the roof !

James you're such a great actor it's sad you're such a fucking loser.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

If this were a shitpost, I would unironically love this.

Unfortunately, I think it isn't intended that way, so thumbs down from me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Ah, the good old fallacy of justifying one thing with something completely unrelated.

One can just as easily use the same argumentative structure to claim that a delayed train on the subway is the tip of the iceberg which is the Worldwide Illuminati Conspiracy or that the wood in one's wardrobe having a darker spot indicates it used to be a gateway to Narnia.

Holy fucking shit we need a warning for this amount of whiplash.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago

Yeah I hate it when New York cops keep blabbing on and on about seizing the means of production, and how they’re going to take down the bourgeoisie.

Awww man, is James Woods a brain-dead MAGA cultist now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

That shouldn't be surprising, given his history.

the only people who are still tweeting about newtonian physics are those who do not yet understand newtonian physics

I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

So.. Diogenes?

This news breaks, both leftist places and far right places get pissed off, but for some reason far right places think leftist want this….

This is actually a big problem when it comes to polarization. Right wing idiots think anything unpopular that they clearly don’t stand for HAS to be supported by “the radical left”.

It’s right out of the fascist playbook, blame all wrongdoings on your current scapegoat group.

It's James woods, he's 100% brainworms serious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That is actually impressively dumb

Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

Woods didn't just randomly become that ignorant, he's been practicing for well over a decade. He's professionally ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It's xitter, it's impossible to know. Even with winking emojis and /s people will take the second half seriously

Minus the "leftist" part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.

Using grounds of "preventing the spread of rabies" authorities invaded this man's home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler's generals for their loyalty and obedience.

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there's evidence he did fuck all.

He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn't a surprise.

I mean... That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves "wrong" according to newtonian physics. He could have just read wikipedia instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity

And as I understand it, the existence of an inner planet (Vulcan) was a reasonable explanation consistent with Newtonian gravity. (The only problem was that the planet wasn't there.)

good read, but a better link for the next person:

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity#Perihelion_precession_of_Mercury

url v1.0.1 release notes:

  • removed m. for desktop users (mobile users will be automatically redirected)
  • removed language from url (international users will be automatically redirected to their local language)
  • now links to the relevant section using # syntax
  • bug fixes and performance improvements
[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

That last bullet was my first laugh of the day.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Detailed release notes for a URL change? You're a saint and a scholar both.

I wonder if it's a case of trying to make a habit of good practice. I've gotten into the habit of citing stuff when writing online, even if the context wouldn't really demand that (or slapping a [citation needed] onto the end of stuff I know I could cite, but I'm too lazy to do and I want it known that lack of sources mean my assertions are questionable)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

no, it was just funny

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Thank you! I wanted to make the link to appropriate section and I usually click the section in the toc to get it. But I could not find the toc on the mobile site.

(Looks at his twitter) Oh no
