You know, I quite like where I live. I feel pretty immune to the rest of the world here.

I mean, it's the middle of f*cking nowhere, but still.

I love the penultimate pic.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

School system is weird here, too. There's no such thing as high school freshmen here, because high school starts at grade 10 instead of 9. Likewise, middle school starts at grade 7 instead of 6.

And you know your town is rural when there is only one McDonald's and one Burger King nearby. Though I do live within driving distance of Dollywood.

I've  been to Dollywood, thought it was fun.

From the title you'd think this was important...
Wow, holy shit, the first case has the right outcome but totally the wrong rule of law (which ought to have been that the permission of somebody on the premises takes priority over the denial of somebody absent) turns out the article is misleading and that's exactly what the rule of law was, on reading the case, but the second one is simple madness.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yes, that got me too for a minute. That's highly effective, subtle clickbait (vs. "The police entered a mans house after he denied them entrance, YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE HOW THE COURT RULED!!!").
You're like "holy crap what? What's wrong with the american legal sy... oh, no, that's actually quite reasonable"

They should've gone with the second one for the headline. "Your lawyer-paying funds can be frozen if the reason you're in court is related to how you got your money" is actually serious business.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Not acting like an asshole = Nice
(T)rue/(F)alse?

If so, I can say with some high percentile surety that I am nice guy under that very limited definition, most of the time, in meatspace.

I'm referring specifically to the phenomenon where they are Nice Guys and thus Deserve Romance but Women Are Bitches Who Only Date Jerks.

And they don't get the irony.

How do you determine so much about all these people at a glance? Do they all actually just stand there yelling HEY, I'M SUPER NICE BUT NO ONE DATES ME, WANT TO TALK ABOUT TF2?! ALSO I DON'T BELIEVE IN A HIGHER POWER!

We, a community dedicated around a niche game of ASCII characters representing psychopathic dwarves, are now profiling and judging other people who we don't even really know? Have we sunk this far? (also, spell correct really want's me to correct dwarves to wharves... wtf?). And does this topic really have to come up AGAIN?! Didn't someone just request we stop talking about this yesterday? Need we fall down this slippery slope over and over? We've already lost too many forum members to this...

The term isn't as flattering as you think it is.

Source? Context?
No clue, picked it up off a /d/ humour thread.
Your guess and/or reverse image search is as good as mine.
