Probabilistically speaking, bald men are always attacking other bald men. So, to bring peace we need a solution to baldness or more affordable rugs.

What’s amazing is that the music, band, female singers, and Cohen sounded just as good as studio recordings. Such beautiful music.

Let me guess. Somehow we taxpayers are going to foot the bill. One way or another. Even if the robber barons “donate” to building this gold plated vomitorium.

They’ll try one thing after another, then recycle and try them again. What ever works and whatever entertains liberals. Like cats chasing red laser; “Here catch this ‘woke’ topic”.

Even the Archie Bunker character would have been a better President than DonOld Trump. At least Archie wasn't suffering from an alleged Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Here is a recent example of rationalizing bad behavior by white people. The VP of the USA says a group of people ages 18-40, espousing bad stuff, where just kids, blah blah.

True, society’s phase change temperature may be much lower.

BTW, love your L. Cohen quote in your description. I went to two of his performances.

I was wondering why it had the word “comic” in it. In these days reality is already comically tragic. So comedy is unrecognizable. At least, to my dumbishness.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

That’s why I asked the question.

Military coups just swap out authoritarians for a different authoritarians?

I just learned that these videos are about “black fatigue” syndrome. It’s a 30 year old topic. New to me. I’ve seen comedians joke about certain things that seem related.

When the size of the NoKings protests reaches the number of people who voted for Trump, the country will change or it will fall.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

So the news is not giving the coverage of Trump agitators trying to disrupt the NoKings protests?

We don't generalize it. We rationalize it.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting that some of these videos are created by pro Trump black people.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

It is a very subtle pattern matching going on due to sample space size. Seeing groups of young white people out of control, doesn't generate that stickiness. We don't generalize it. We generalize it.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

A simplistic example. You see a group of dark skinned people in the city behaving badly, so when you see a group of dark skinned people in another situation you react the same way.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

Sure, I get it. But It is racism if our brains don't adjust (Bayesian like) to changing circumstances in the future.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

There is a type of video that highlights young black people doing bad things, like in AirBnB, cruises, etc. Since the authors of the videos are black they claim it is not racist to point these things out.

If you zero out a perfect digital scale and then put the scale in an air tight chamber then remove all the air so it in a vacuum, will the scale display a negative amount?

Interesting rhetorical technique this commenter says Trump is using:
Paralipsis , apophasis, praeteritio, or occupatio.

jbet.bsky.social @jbet.bsky.social · 1d

An interesting post here that analyzes how gets away with this.
