**Official** Physicists are freaks and very weird dudes LC Thread

If I ever snap this is exactly the person at the top of the list.

That photo jolts my insides.

The mma guy?

Will summation of neo reactionaryism is pretty good. Pretty much people who read cyberpunk and thought, “that sounds like the utopia I want plus more racism”

Well that looks like him, but I didn’t see an actual name, just the person who is organizing the fundraiser.

K. I got BLOCKCHAIN to attend to. Later bro.

Here’s a story with both of their names:

Loved this quote from the OU WR’s attorney

Reminds me of that Sandmann kid’s attorney who claimed he was also just trying to de-escalate.

If nothing else, he deserves a beating for failing at de-escalation so badly.

Right, this. There’s a difference between eating meat, or even going hunting for the skill of pursuing an animal, the thrill of the chase etc. Just having a list of exotic animals you’d essentially like placed in front of you so you can enjoy blasting them with a high-powered rifle is different in kind to any of that. I’m not even saying there’s a difference in morality from a consequentialist point of view - like the result is dead animals any way you slice it, no pun intended, and maybe this giraffe did need to be culled. The difference is in how this person’s mind functions.

When I said she had a “visit-to-Disneyland vibe” I wasn’t just talking about her making light of killing the animal. It gives me the same feeling as when I read about those adults who have season passes to Disneyworld and going is their favourite thing to do. It’s not even like “wow what a terrible person you are” it’s just like… are you developmentally disabled?

Nah any punch to the face can have consequences. Didn’t see disproportional to me.

Also, fuck Oklahoma football. You remember the last video of one of their players fighting in a bar right? Because fuck Mixon.

An interesting read on the CBO estimates for stimulus and the output gap

Cliffs: None of the tools the CBO uses are very precise or even accurate.

They use GDP trendline analysis but that pegs potential output to historical GDP, not potential output

They use productivity, but productivity doesn’t seem to forecast very well

They use unemployment vs “natural unemployment” per age, race, gender aka the lowest unemployment they think is possible, but that’s an arbitrary assignation. The blog post points out that the CBO tacks 2015 as nearest to potential natural employment and then African Americans had over 10% unemployment. That means that baked into the CBO’s analysis is the idea that unemployment among African Americans can never drop below 10%

RIP Fry’s

Website’s gone. Rumors seem true?

Sucks. One of the closest stores to my house. Probably going to be boarded up for years now.

A+

Ever try to return something at Fry’s? Absolute WOAT customer service.

I actually called their corporate customer service department, told the entire story of how shitty the store was (the one near Microbet), and at the very end the woman said, “Wow that’s awful. Here’s a phone number. You should tell them this story.”

FFFUUUUU lady. I just told you the damn story. If you gave a shit you’d relay it up the line. Clearly a rotten company from the top down.

Do police ever do a single thing right, ever? Ever?

Fuck the police.

That said in regards to the FBI, every time this comes up there were always warning. With bombing and mass shootings, and what I always read is the FBI gets thousands of these a day and it’s impossible to put resources towards them.

Although its clear under a Biden Admin the FBI mandate needs to be right wing terrorism/mass shootings when covid ends and that should eat up like 70%+ of their resources similar to post 9/11 levels.

Also it’s kind of weird there have been NO mass shootings in the US during covid.

There are still plenty of large crowds from what I’ve seen. Shopping malls, Wal Marts, and lots of schools are still in session. So whats the real reason?

I mean, when someone tells you “hes building bombs in his RV,” maybe don’t knock on his door once and call it a day? Maybe look in the god damn RV?
