To be fair, it's not like they could have used those nukes anyways. The launch codes were kept in Moscow, and the Russians had no intentions of giving those up. Plus, they didn't have the knowledge of how to maintain them. They could have eventually reversed engineered them, but that would have taken a lot of time, money, and potentially lives. The aid money from America was worth much more to them in the aftermath of the USSR's collapse. Though I do wish they'd been able to get a defensesice agreement out of it, because clearly it would have come in handy.

It's the life that all these corporations want their workers to be forced to live. In their eyes, if you're not producing value for the one on top, you should either be sleeping or dead. Oh, and they'll only be paying you for 8 of those 18 hours you'll be working, at the lowest possible rate they can, if you get the luxury of payment at all. If you're a prisoner, tough luck.

I don't get this post!

Except... We are punishing Russians? That's half the point of sanctions, causing economic pain to the people in order to (hopefully) compel the government of said people to play nice.

Of all the times I've seen this meme, this is the first time I've noticed the child's name. Strairdrac The Netherwatcher. Sounds like a decent fellow.

And then he died of the plague, don't forget about that part.

Fuck, it would be so pathetically hilarious for the second American civil war to start over Charlie fucking Kirk of all people. It'd be like if WW1 started because the pet fish of the wife of the cousin of the Archdike's brother was shot.

Holy shit, I actually laughed out loud at this. "Never done anything harmful", lmfao. Get the fuck outta here.

As one of the many, you mind educating me on those hallmarks?

We are all cm0002 on this blessed day.

...So this guy's a bot, right? Just from looking at their comment history. I'm so sorry if you're not, but you type like ChatGPT.

They're attempting to, with how they treat Ukranians in territories they occupy, but thankfully Ukraine is able to defend themselves against missiles and bombers. Not really the case with Palestine, not much a Palestinian kid can do against complete and total saturation bombardment and snipers to pick off the civilians that survive. Israel and Russia are two sides of the same coin against very differently equipped victims.

Night In The Woods. If you haven't played it, I'd recommend it. The characters are so well written, and some of the things they touch on hit me on a very, very personal level. And the music complements it all perfectly. It manages to have silly moments and serious moments with the same characters that all manage to fit and mesh together so well, and their relationships and lives all feel real and evolving throughout the story.

Nobody's making AGI anytime soon. LLMs do not have any of the baselines required for this. They're expensive predictive text algorithms, more or less the same ones used in mobile keyboards, but upscaled to an absurd degree. Anyone truly worried about other companies or nations developing AGI has no idea how our current "AI" works. You're never going to get there by building on them.

Dazzle Camo isn't to hide the ship, per say. It's to make it much harder to tell which way the ship is facing, and therefore what its heading is.

I said, "My Grandma was from a place known for making bombs."

It guessed "Gaza"

Not elitist to say that people who use what are essentially weighted random word generators for programming, a career that requires one to know exactly how their code works in case it breaks, are bad at their jobs. Just like how it's not elitist to say that generated images are not art, and that flying a plane into a building doesn't make you a good pilot.

Sir, that is a kidney.
