Okay, that is funny.

 

I guess it's funny in the sense that it's true. We're wired for cognitive bias as a survival trait.

So are dogs and hurricanes, apparently.

 

Dogs I can believe -- after all, they are trained by humans and can pick up on those owner biases. But yeah, the last one is just silly.

White Dog is a good film centered around that.

The person is referring to the fact that society in general invests a greater deal of money to protect rich neighborhoods, which is predominately white - and will often only react to protect the shoreline of less profitable places, after heavy death tolls. As racial minorities often live in these places, she is arguing that the environmental protection focus is racial, even though it is more of economic class issue.

 

Not as funny though...

Irony. Definitely my favorite form of humor.

Army renames JRTC Center as live action roleplaying preparation

 

 


FORT POLK, La. — The U.S. Army will rename its Joint Readiness Training Center to The Center for LARPing Army Preparation of Excellence, sources confirmed today.

The Center, which serves as the Army’s premier combat training center and employs a number of civilian role players to challenge infantry units, was renamed by the school’s commander, who enjoys live-action role playing in and out of uniform.

 

“It’s what we do,” said Lt. Col. Winston Boomhower. “No one in the world can LARP like us. No one.”

 

LARP, or Live Action Roleplaying, is a form of pretend that only the most serious military professionals are capable of employing, according to defense officials.

 

“Majors will replace Captains as lane walkers and we will now be calling them Mages,” Boomhower said. “It seemed fitting, given the God Gun’s true powers. Civilian LARPers are some of the most fit, active people in the world. They’re consummate professionals and experts at their craft. I’ve never met a LARPer that didn’t scare the **** out of me.”

 

Pressed for more details, Boomhower added: “The God Gun? Oh, it’s a mythical weapon system. You don’t even know. We’ve thought about fielding them in the current conflicts, but it would be against the Geneva Conventions.”

 

Boomhower only clapped and left the room when questioned about the school’s new acronym of CLAP-E.
