Maybe he accidentally said the wrong President, you know what it’s like getting old. Fuck, do I miss John McCain. This is definitely the darkest timeline.

Lindsay Graham as well. Most Republicans who have views that oppose Trump are afraid for their safety should they speak out against our Leader.

The long-term goal is to fix themselves and their family at the top of the social hierarchy just in time before biotech bros discover immortality, thus saving their place permanently in the newly ossified social order. This is the last chan

Afghanistan could afford an indefinite war against a superpower twice in the past 50 years.

If you’re going oral tradition, you might as well use repeatedly-compressed JPEG instead. Same quality but less space used by the storage devices.

Honestly plaintext has a pretty bad record as a format, with all of the UTF-16, Latin-2, Shift JIS, and so on. I’d suggest paper, or for true archival storage, parchment and stone.

I’d hardly call Paradox a failure. Europa Universalis in particular is the most 4X game from PDX, even if grand strategy game is a better description.

Did you mean to reply to some other comment? Choosing who you do business with is not the same as deplatforming.

Twitter is a political platform, given its close ties with the highest levels of the US government. Basically what you’ve told me is that the entire machine learning community is aligned against Europe and Ukraine, and that Europe needs to

Fandom’s UI has truly won the race to the bottom. Makes me grimace whenever I see it.

You missed the risk that by following the law, the Trump administration could and likely would put sanctions on Apple for opposing free speech. It’s a huge business risk to oppose Trump just to follow the law, maybe an existential risk.

Laws are just words on paper if no one decides to enforce them. What is Congress going to do to Trump, impeach him? lol Okay, so Congress could pass a resolution saying they consider the dissolution of USAID a violation of the law… but the

This is an act of war, right? Or are we just going to let Russia get away with it again?

To get to President Musk, longer than that. On the other hand, he was called Prime Minister Musk by a congressman all the way back in December. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gonzales-elon-musk...

With this sympathy between gold and arsenic discovered, we’re one step closer to the philosopher’s stone.

The people whom Trump rallied and told to march to Capitol Hill went there for the express purpose of preventing the results of the people’s vote via the Electoral College from being accepted. This was proven in many courts of law. Not only

So it’s a delusion that the guy who tried to overthrow the vote last time will prevent the next election this time? Tyrants tried multiple times before succeeding in Athens, why not today?

Nah, cynicism is the only rational reaction now. Lots of people died from covid and our poor government response, but Trump got a majority because eggs are too expensive.

COIN sucks, civilians get killed, the closest thing to a fortress in modern warfare is a city. The US has a better record than most in protecting civilians but it’s impossible to save everyone.

Some people remember. I have a neighbor who was a child living in Berlin in ‘45. Looks like the story of her life will have literary bookends.

It’s not moral panic, it’s because Trump is reducing legitimacy and stability of the government. Killing foreign civilians is normal, locking everyone out of a government job with zero notice is not.

It doesn’t matter if Trump has the authority to do something if no one stops him. Laws are just words on paper. America is no longer a nation of laws. Period. We are a nation ruled by Trump and Musk.

US Leadership is focused on getting us to Mars, all of that takes long-term planning. Sure, a few of us will die in the process, but come on, a flag on Mars! There is a Planet B!
