A bit presumptuous of you, but how many Nerotypicals do you know who have a working base knowledge of the types of anti-aircraft countermeasures that US bombers had to deal with during world war 2? Because that's where you'd have to start.

Have you given any consideration to the possibility that you are fallible?

wow... well, that proves it then I guess. You're the specialist boy. Allow me to show myself out while you get back to work.

Uno reverse card: Stalin always has time for you. He's very social.

Okay, I have to break the oath that I made to myself when I made the last comment saying that I was going to walk away from this, but I have to issue one last point. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the context of the picture of the plane with the red dots on it. During world war II the US military was trying to find a way to prevent its bombers from being shot down during bombing runs. A diagram was made of the most common bullet holes that were found on planes that had returned from combat, and a major effort was put into trying to armor those locations to protect them from anti-aircraft fire. After reinforcing panels were installed, the exact same ratio of planes were shot down with seemingly no benefit. It took the involvement of statisticians to explain to the decision makers that they were armoring the wrong points. Assuming that the bombers were hit fairly uniformly with anti aircraft fire, the places where the bullet holes were located on returning aircraft were the least concerning locations, as they took a hit there but survived. The locations were no bullet holes were found were the places that needed to be reinforced, because they had been struck there and failed to return. After reinforcing the areas where very few bullet holes were located, bomber survivability improved considerably. You're talking about your ability to spot six fingered, perfectly illuminated people in AI generated images that are nothing more than an annoyance to your news feed, while other things, like public figures being made to look like they're saying things they're not, or modified satellite images showing things that don't exist, are lurking in the background, often unnoticed or unacknowledged. Is it possible that some of the images that you believe are real were actually AI generated but touched up slightly by human hands at the end to correct for the obvious giveaways? That is the point of this image. The most dangerous form of ignorance is not knowing what you don't know. Being correct a high percentage of the time does not necessarily preclude one from being incorrect and equally high percentage of the time.

.......just the weirdest boner right now.......

This is the smartest goddamn meme I've seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

Okay, who gets to be the lucky one to calculate the amount of time that thing could heat sink a pegged, modern, 120w TDP CPU before it throttles at 100C? I'll give you a sticker.

Do it again, but include sneezing this time.

I think it would break something irreparable in my brain if a really attractive 30-something year old woman in a sharp business suit stepped out of that car.

Women are drowning while men are dying of thirst. Neither can fully appreciate the plight of the other, but we can abide it. I won't touch your butt uninvited, but, personally, I'm cool with it.

Jesus Christ this hits home. We used to link 4 xbox, from the basement to the 2nd story. My parents, extatic that I was interacting with other people, would order bottomless pizza and soda, and kids WAY outside of my social tier would show up and be nice to me. Then, on Monday, I'd just go back to being the weirdo nerd again...

He looks like you just called him some kind of dog version of a racial slur.

What about the thing where he fucked kids? Anybody still looking into that?

Well, the original quote is usually attributed to Mother Teresa, but Britney Spears has been known to say it in interviews.

What about the thing where he fucked kids? Is anybody still looking into that or naw?

Is Tumblr still a thing? I'm too afraid to look for myself.

You guys use an OS? I just push the electrons around my motherboard manually with a little magnet on a toothpick.

I think it's pretty well accepted that, even for a classically trained artist, the three most difficult things to paint accurately are human hands, a horse in motion, and the concept of epistemology.

Yeah. Does anybody else think that this "One strike and you're dead to me, regardless of how complex the issue is" thing is getting a little out of hand? The only winning move here is not to play, but then he would be attacked from both sides for appearing apathetic.
