You cut the foreskin off the penis for aesthic purposes.

Try again.

Its Cognitive Dissonance 101. The psychological defense mechanism. To these people, if one part of them is wrong, then their entire identity is wrong.

The pattern is becoming more apparent amongst authoritarians, they have a very disturbed sense of identity. They identify as the party. They identify as the country. They identify as being correct.

The government wants you to support datacenters. By force if necessary. The owners of the datacenters running AI on them are hemorrhaging money. The wealthy don't stand to make very much on them at all.

Think about that.

1.6um is a healthy infrared line, but a SINGLE emission line is mind-blowing.

This is a bit of a hot take, but I think security services are going to be the absolute last thing that will be replaced.

Looking how much money was dumped into ICE and attempts at federalizing local PDs, I think they need the human element of brutality.

Anecdotally I know a guy that was, errr, sensitive, about his size. When his son was born, he was horrified to learn his son was too small to be circumsized (btw, good fuck genital mutilation).

The kid's mother commented that he is fooling no one about why that shocked him.

... is it a virus generated by LLMs, or a virus designed by a model explicitly trained on viruses?

The worst damage LLMs do is when the term AI is automatically rejected by people who don't understand it.

And that might be intentional.

Yeah see that is what I couldn't figure out, but it lines up.

It's not how I would generate anything other than text and certainly not any sort of medical treatment

I think that means isaiprofitableyet is way out of date lol

I maintain that the DNC, at least at a nation wide scale, has been controlled opposition since Carter. The rich and powerful in the country couldn't work against a party where the opposition was formerly military and educated in something other than business or law.

Clinton played his roll. Al Gore was too much of an opposition so the Supreme Court stole it from his win. Kerry wasn't going to win.

Obama they lost control with, but he was still a wealthylawyer. They relied too heavily on racism and the belief that their gerrymandering was good enough. Hillary Clinton was an ideal candidate to hand the election to Trump.

I firmly believe Biden was allowed to win, against Trumps desires, so that the Heritage Foundation could get Project 2025 ready. All they had to do was delay investigations. The GOP was terrified of Walz, but Harris was easy enough to control.

I look at Bernie Sanders and Vermont in general, Walz and Minnesota (never voted for a conservative president) and Mandami, AoC, every other progressive candidate, and each one refuses to "fall in line."

Should progressives win this mid-term, despite controls they have in place, I believe the ultra wealthy will drop the charade and the remaining months of this congress swing into full authoritarianism.

If I say my orange's name in the other end of the house, he comes running to me yowling along the way.

The only thing I've figured out is that he recognizes that I'm not closeby him and he panics lol.

If he doesn't come and I can't find him, I know he's sick or stressed. Only happened a handful of times over the past 13 years. If I'm away for a few days and he's got a sitter, that is usually the biggest trigger.

He really needs a companion cat, but thats hard at 14.

In capable hands. Is the real issue. Too many people believe they are capable hands.

Did you get banned from .world lol?

I tend to think South Park undersold it when they said at least 1/4 Americans is the r-word. Its at least 1/3rd.

I mean, fine. But its easier to fix human written slop over AI slop solely because of the sheer volume of AI slop.

Putin got exactly what he wanted in the US. Europe, I hope y'all have got your shit together.

That's what's weird to me.

All of this is occuring slightly before the mid-terms. $500m in diesel, lifting sanctions, ending military support for Ukraine.

The pro-kremlin shill accounts popped alive in September. It's probably not related to the mid-terms in my mind. The mid-terms havent been decided yet. Even when they are, they don't get their seat until January, which leaves Trump plenty of opportunity to still provide support to Russia.

Putin is going to do something dumb again that will probably make a lot more enemies in the rest of the world.

I don't know diddly squat about what Europe is doing with Ukraine right now. I know various countries gave significant amounts of hardware support, then the stories about that stopped.

I'd like to believe that Zelensky buying time was so that Europe could build up support. Europe, hopefully, is MUCH smarter than the authoritarian nations and not intetested in dick waving.

Maybe I'll start asking the spam calls this

o.O my budget can be requested up to $2k/month.

$29/month is like... not using it lol
