Lots of things are used to justify bigotry. If you assume that subjectively negative attributes are a result of heritage rather than upbringing, you can use anything to justify bigotry.
For native English speakers, IQ largely correlates with general intellectual ability. People with higher IQs are generally more capable of understanding more complicated topics. It’s not a moral failing to have a low IQ, and there’s no reason to assume it’s genetically heritable or innate and immutable.
Boy he’ll really regret using an electronic safe when the world runs entirely out of batteries for six straight months
Same as when my computer refuses to finish writing to a flash drive. When I press that “safely remove hardware” button, it is not a request, it is a warning. If the data is corrupted after I yank the stupid thing, so be it
The only thing enthusiasts love more than obscure CLI commands is random github links. The next time someone sends me a github link without explicit instructions on how to turn the contents of that link into a program on my computer, I’m hiring some witches from Etsy to hex them
That’s really neat but my god is it ugly
We don’t need another study explaining that people who eat foods that rich people eat tend to live longer. Do one of these studies but only interviewing people with an income under $20,000 and I’ll take it seriously
Using eldritch runes etched in silicon to invoke a pale imitation of a living being is basically already summoning demons
I play this game with myself every single day on my drive home from work. Someday I’m going to die, and someone is going to pull the SD card out of my dash cam and hear me ranting about how Reki’s attempt to earn salvation was inherently selfish as she was only going it to stop being sinbound, but in the end that selfishness didn’t matter because she was actually helping people. Even if she only helped Rakka cope with her sinboundedness in an attempt to save herself, she still helped Rakka. And ultimately that did lead to her salvation, as Rakka was only able to help save Reki because Reki helped save Rakka—oh hey, I’m home
Authoritarian anti-capitalist then
Everyone knows the best revolutions are ones where the powers that be are simply convinced to give up their power by facts and logic, like what happened with women’s suffrage, or civil rights, or gay rights. No guns or violence involved with those!
I was quoting Marx. Guns are definitely a leftist thing.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered. Any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

Wipe my memory and let me play Titanfall 2 for the first time again.
If my memory isn’t getting wiped, then give me an opportunity to play Advance Wars 2 again. I know I can just emulate it, but it isn’t the same without the no backlight, AA powered Gameboy Advance
My favorite LTT nonsense was when he said ad blockers are piracy
but a mistake was made by someone in logistics at LTT so it wasn’t put aside for return as it should.
And was subsequently sold, without Billet Labs’ permission. What did I say that was incorrect?
This is true, but I don’t like deleting comments because everyone can see that I left one and deleted it, and I get self-conscious about that
So instead of deleting the comment I just added on some bullshit about unskilled labor
Gonna blow Galileo’s mind with an equatorial telescope mount. Even more so when I attach a clock to it and make it automatically track the sky. I’m skilled enough to construct one, assuming I can communicate with other laborers to have the parts made
As far as general labor skills go though, I could make a living just about any time with agriculture. Unskilled labor is timeless
Yeah, it is a single one dimensional number that attempts to represent a multidimensional system. But also you can pretty well predict whether someone is capable of, like, standing trial or something if that single number is particularly low. It does correlate with a real phenomenon, if not perfectly.
