It’s only a matter of time before 2 dead men had a match there via AI.

Ezekiel 16:49 This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease but did not aid the poor and needy.

Calling the shot now. He shows up at the end of Hangman/Joe.

If those data centers switch to beer, I’ll be out of a job.

I’ve grown in appreciation for math in the last couple of years, especially when it comes to things that are necessary or practical in my day to day life.

I hated it in school though, mostly because of bad teachers, I think, and because it’s an area of study with cut and dry answers.

I always preferred subjects where there were many possible answers to a question, like philosophy and such.

If I remember correctly from his book, Big Tom was Mox’s first opponent in New Japan.

I trust the two of them to put on something that’s inconsequential, but way better than it needs to be.

The whole “they just didn’t understand it was wrong” defense straight-up ignores that there were, in fact, people at the time who deeply opposed slavery.

It’s about a completely different slave owner, but I always think back to W.E.B. Dubois thoughts on Robert E Lee whenever the topic of defending slavers comes up. I’ll copy the full quote below:

“It is the punishment of the South that its Robert Lees and Jefferson Davises will always be tall, handsome and well-born. That their courage will be physical and not moral. That their leadership will be weak compliance with public opinion and never costly and unswerving revolt for justice and right. It is ridiculous to seek to excuse Robert Lee as the most formidable agency this nation ever raised to make 4 million human beings goods instead of men. Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel – not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

In my eyes a slaver is a slaver, plain and simple.

It’s an evil thing to treat people as property, no matter how well intentioned someone thinks they may be.

Granting freedom in a will also doesn’t count for much in that regard. It screams “I know it’s evil to enslave these people, but I’m too weak to do anything about it and too dependent on abusing them to live on my own.”

Too bad ol’ GW had more respect for his enemy’s dog than he did for the human beings he enslaved.

At this point, I think his followers would excuse him for literally anything.

Cool message, but Kant himself was wildly prejudiced in terms of racism and sexism.
