The fact that so many Americans listened to and followed those religious nutjobs and they were able to sweep the government with such little effort suggests no such "secularization" ever took place. They're like people who se

They're AI generated, so obviously not accurate. Although we live in a post-truth age and AI generated photos are used in historical and academic contexts now so it doesn't really matter much anymore. The past is just a vibe.

>What the US lacks is the ability to have clean, simple, uniform gun laws across all states AND uniform _enforcement_ of such laws. Yes. that is what would be unconstitutional. States can have their own gun laws but the Federal governm

Show HN submissions aren't for launching your startup in stealth mode. You shouldn't need to "validate the product idea and direction." It's supposed to be fun, not business.

I think you're making the mistake of assuming the world works like an internet forum. You aren't going to be able to judge reality on the basis of rhetorical tricks or logical contradiction. Your implicit assumption that if "

And how would you be able to publicly verify the competing alternate sources and the smoking gun? It's no different than the situation with old media, except there's more noise and disinformation, and everything is easier to fake.

Not only will we keep doing this, we'll have AI agents do it unsupervised.

It's weird that the narrative is still that the Democrats are "far leftists" when they basically tanked their last campaign because they loved American imperialism and genocide so much. I mean, Kamala Harris' pivot to

You're reminding me of a miniminuteman video debunking this conspiracy theory, asking how it was that the aliens who built the pyramids were using the metric system. I guess it's literally everyone in the galaxy except for Americ

It's the established scientific consensus. Obviously it isn't convincing to racists, but no argument would be given that racists don't approach the subject in good faith to begin with. I think you're being too pedantic,

I can promise you that whatever reason the administration gives is not the reason. Beyond that, who even knows? Because Israel whispered in someone's ear about WMDs? Because Trump believes being a "wartime president" will hel

I don't know what the long term fix is, because that presupposes the ability to plan long term, which is something I don't think the US is capable of anymore. Part of the solution has to be breaking down the aggressive selfishness

Space opera is still a subset of speculative fiction and science fiction, saying "just" dismisses its influence on the genre as a whole. A lot of classic science fiction is basically "x with spaceships" where x is the Na

If you hate AI, don't use AI. If you aren't being forced by your employer, just don't use it. If you do find a way to get AI to generate a "good app," that won't do anything for your own skill. It sounds like t
