    I’m confused how supporting and engaging in genocide and bombing humans in multiple countries with unique circumstances is both a single issue separate to and less important than doing the same (without bombs) nearer to home.

    I guess everyone has a different tolerance for blood on their hands…



  • Iteration isn’t a claim that the predecessor was a failure though, you iterate on the successes of the prior generation. It used to be that technology advanced so rapidly that the cutting edge became obsolete in a matter of a few years, but for that time it was a success.

    I think there’s also an assumption of design philosophy here. One designer might put many generalized requirements into their design, then you get Google glasses, AI, NFTs and so on. This means everything is a failure because it couldn’t achieve the requirements. Others may pick a small set of very specific requirements, then you get the iPhone or a Toyota hilux. These are massive successes because they had cohesion in the idea and planned as to about compromise.















  • This is what I did. Now at home the only animal proteins i eat are fish/shellfish, cheese, and yogurt. I’m lucky enough to have easy access to imitation soy substitutes. On the rare occasion I go to a restaurant i will usually order a nice meat based meal.

    But it probably helps i always thought chicken and cow were mid.

    It’s a kind of slang or dialect speech from a stereotype of people in rural areas(hillbilly, redneck, or just country), also as gold prospectors(1840’s) are commonly portrayed in films.

    “Them there hills”, which means, “those hills over there”.

    Them/their are pronouns for non-binary people replacing the gendered he/his or she/hers.

    It is a pun and an excellent one at that.
