Cool build! ...But I don't see the photo of the game case?

Progressives have been hoping for someone like Mamdani to actually win an election for a long time, now. If he is what finally instigates a break in the wall the Democratic party has erected, it's not surprising that others are picking up their sledgehammers.

MAGA was, and is, socially conservative to the point that they are willing to back a fascist to get their pet issues pushed through.

How do you keep a Mormon from drinking all the beer on your fishing trip?

Invite another Mormon.

(My family is Mormon and they also think this joke is hilarious)

The United States federal government has said loud and clear that not only are foreign visitors not wanted, they are risking their freedom by setting foot on American soil. I don't see how anyone would be interested in visiting under those conditions who doesn't have family or the like in the States.

"I'm telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you,"

That's not what we're seeing from the White House, lady.

If "FUCK BIDEN" flags were legal, then so is this.

Although of course, Republicans have no concept of actual fairness.

I think she's looking for something more along the lines of a Rod from God rather than a SpaceNoodle.

Every time I see a picture of someone explaining something to Trump, it looks like Trump is pretending to pay attention and absorbing nothing.

Corporate lobbyists. They've played a large part in the gradual destruction of the USA in the name of profit for their filthy-rich overlords.

The problem is one part corporate consolidation, and two+ parts that corporations are allowed to harm the public for their own gain without repercussions (or repercussions that don't sufficiently punish the corporations). A corporation is often just an entity that looks for commons to tragedy - whether it is big or small.

At this point, the hardware is almost certainly locked in. They were originally expecting to ship these things by now; supply issues are the primary reason they aren't in gamers' hot little hands already.

The software, on the other hand, is probably getting some extra polish with this extra time.

What? The thing we were all saying was going to happen is happening???

If the rules aren't enforced, they aren't rules.

I mean, they're already ignoring constitutional rights in order to deport more immigrants.

it's got no problems with understanding that.

That's because it doesn't 'understand' things in the conventional way. It was trained to parrot its training data; it's not actually working through the logic because its capability of using logic is highly constrained by its very structure and training. Why bother building something that can 'think' through the prompt when it's way easier to just repeat what the internet has said on any given topic?

Sure, it can build a joke from first principles if it's guided through the process, but you really have to guide it through the process - and even then, it's going to be pulling from its training data like building blocks rather than truly being original about anything. It's like rolling dice to make a joke; sure, maybe it resulted in a joke no one has told before, but is it truly creating something original?

It's becoming increasingly apparent to me that Pascal's Wager makes more sense in the opposite direction.

Let's say that there's a chance that there is no God, and your actions alone impact how future generations live.

With how Christians are currently behaving, their actions will result in untold misery for decades to come as countries succumb to fascism and the environment collapses.

On the other hand, if they behave in a way that would potentially benefit the lives of future generations, that is a moral good and God would approve of this behavior if he does exist.

Thus, it is more logical to act the same way as liberals and raise up the downtrodden.

Yep. It's called the standard deduction. If you make less than that, you pay zero income tax.

I remember in the distant past a video about a 'study' of kids who are given a marshmallow, and they are left alone with it after being told that if they don't eat it, they can have more later - but if they eat it now, that's all they get.

And later I heard that they looked into the kids that had 'poor impulse control' because they ate the one marshmallow ... and these kids apparently had grown up in an environment where promises were often broken.

Get a load of this cogsucker.

What? The thing we were all saying was going to happen is happening???

Productivity gains haven't resulted in an increase in wages since the '70s, Bezos. Get your head out of the sand.
