At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence 'against those who deserve no mercy'
Reply in thread
Theologically speaking, it's the opposite: nobody deserves mercy, but God gives it to them anyways. But you'd have to open a Bible to know that, which none of these ghouls have.

Trump Flips the Bird in Angry 'F*** You' Blast After Pedo Slur
"Pedo slur"? What slur? "Pedophile protector" isn't a slur, it's just plain English.

Data analyst finds 'AI stigma' on Steam can reduce the number of reviews a game gets by around 53%—and the reviews it does get are more negative
"Data analyst finds that "diarrhea stigma" in bakeries can reduce the number of reviews a cake gets by around 53%--and the reviews it does get are more negative."
Stop putting diarrhea in the cake and people will both review them more often and review them more highly.

US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say
Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS)
Count on the army to refer to their missiles as "attack 'em"s.

It's not what they want to know about, it's what they find easy to talk about. They're topics that everyone has some connection with, and with which you're unlikely to cause a significant disagreement by bringing it up. You start with the easy stuff, and then use whatever comes up as a bridge to more meaningful conversation.

Trump’s $14M reflecting pool paint job is now peeling off and floating to the surface
Reply in thread
I heard a theory that Trump literally just doesn't know what a reflecting pool is. He thinks all pools are swimming pools, so he's turning it into a swimming pool. I have no proof for this but like... it fits.

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue
Claude did not "go rogue". It does not have the free will to do that any more than a brick can "go rogue" when you throw it through your own window. They knowingly used a bad, dangerous tool that destroyed their work. The tool can't accept the blame for their poor decisions.

Cyclists Break Far Fewer Road Rules Than Motorists, Finds New Video Study
People like to think that bicyclists are breaking laws all the time because they assume that bicycles must be treated as either cars or pedestrians. They are, in fact, a secret third thing with their own set of laws. Motorists don't know those laws because they have no reason to look them up. It's easier to just assume that the bicycle on the road/on the sidewalk/not stopping for the stop sign must be breaking the law because it would be illegal for a car to do it.

After Security Scare, Trump Demands Approval for His White House Ballroom
Reply in thread
The security people at the event did do their jobs. Someone attempted to commit a violent act, was immediately identified as a threat, and was arrested with no deaths and one minor injury. The attacker didn't get anywhere close to his intended targets because security stopped him so quickly. If anything, this shows how completely unnecessary his stupid armored ballroom would be because the event security was 100% capable of stopping an attacker.

Now there's an old reference

No joke: that remote is going in his ass. There's an old video of some kid throwing a colossal tantrum because his mom canceled his WoW account, and part of that tantrum involved grabbing a TV remove and trying to shove it up his ass for some reason.

You can also report your own deductions if you itemize. If your income is low, the standard deduction is probably just significantly bigger than your itemized deductions.

Anonymized data can inform funding decisions, as well as collect medical data like side effects, failure rates, and demographic information that is useful for research and policymaking. That's not what this government will use it for, but under normal circumstances there are genuinely good reasons to collect that data.

JD Vance Confirms Iran Will Get Jaw-Dropping Sum Under Trump Deal
It doesn't matter how much they say they're going to pay. We're just going to get another turn of the wheel: we'll be right on the cusp of a deal, then Israel will murder a few thousand people and literally blow the deal up. The war continues but we're still in a ceasefire, the Straight is open but nobody's allowed through, Iran's military capabilities have been completely destroyed but they're still launching missiles. Give it two more weeks and we'll be right on the cusp of a deal with another jaw-dropping offer for Iran that won't matter because they know we'll just turn the wheel again.
