    I’ve been told I’m wrong and being irrational, but I kind of hate helicopters and am low-key terrified of flying in one.

    My logic is this: planes turn into gliders when the engines go out. A helicopter is just like a falling stone.

    Now I’ve been told that I’m wrong and that apparently that horrifying death spin they often do on the way down will slow the descent.

    Which is cold comfort lol




  • But this is what welding power against your political enemies actually looks like. Democrats are free to do this exact same thing to RFK Jr next year. And Pete Hegseth. And Kristi Noem. And Howard Lutnick

    Not even in the same universe. Fauci just did his fucking job, the people you’ve listed have not only broken their oaths of office, most (if not all) have explicitly broken the law. On numerous occasions.

    But this is what the right will do. This is what they’re setting up for with the “against weaponization of government” bullshit. “See? They all do it!”.

    As soon as someone on the left attempts to hold these ghouls responsible for literal crimes, they will cry persecution. Most of them are Christians, so they’re pros already and have a lifetime of practice.

    Idiots who don’t pay attention will be told “remember how Fauci refused to answer questions?! They all do this, it’s not just Republicans!”

    Mark my words.

    And we’ll once again be on the back foot, as always, having to try to explain that Hegseth literally ordered the murder of something like 200 South American fishermen, and that’s not the same as a disease expert trying to handle a pandemic with a toddler as a boss.

    And people will literally say, “that didn’t actually happen, I would have seen it on TV” or “those were actually confirmed terrorists,” or etc etc.

    Because they “don’t pay attention to politics” yet somehow always end up with the most up to date Fox News talking points.

    Funny how that works.


  • Did you make this? If so, I always find it curious that people like this cannot just take the advice/criticism they asked for.

    Zero-knowledge refers to a very specific type of encryption, and it has to work.

    Putting faith in anything that was vibecoded for something like zero knowledge encryption seems like a very bad idea.

    And yet that specific advice just cannot ever be accepted and brought on. The response is always defensive.

    I appreciate that you saw the need for something, and took initiative to try to make it… However, unless you’ve got experience with developing this kind of encryption, and didn’t just offload any of it to an LLM, then I worry it’s doing more harm than good.

    In the case of something like this, having no option is better than having an option that confidently tells you it works while you have no idea what’s actually happening under the hood.












  • Because they will do literally anything to avoid blaming the one man actually responsible for all of this.

    In some weird monkeys paw situation or some shit, Trump has somehow just been able to skate through a literal life of crime, and it’s like everyone has just collectively decided that it’s fine when it’s this one specific guy… I know it’s not, but it really almost feels supernatural. Probably more like blackmail on people.

    It’s just remarkable either way. He gets some strange additional benefit(s) of the doubt that nobody in the history of the office would ever get in a million lifetimes for the most idiotic shit. Like really? THIS guy? Out of all the guys to bestow this shit on…?

    I cannot wait for the day that this man perishes. It will be the one fucking thing he can’t skate away from. Like his piece of shit mentor Roy Cohn. Death always comes eventually. Hopefully he doesn’t nuke the planet first.
