Could we have sentient AI in the future if we don’t slip into neo-fascism while char-broiling the planet?
Yes, but not yet.

222·11 months agoIf someone can sit outside Mar-A-Lago and identify who is coming and going, then we need people at polling stations doing the same when Trumplings show up to ‘guard’ the polls.
No masks. No weapons. Put your ass on the line if you want to follow fascist orders.
Could be another frat messing with this frat.
42·1 year agoDuring the Iraq War, Kurt Vonnegut was asked about the anti-war protests… His response was that, during Vietnam, he was part of anti-war protests firing on all cylinders and laser-focused and going to stop that war. He said it was ultimately about as effective as climbing to the top of a ladder and tossing a pie on the ground. This time will be no different.
So I don’t know what you’re hoping to gain. The ‘Ima take my ball and go home’ approach didn’t work out so well in 2016. Threatening not to vote isn’t going to phase anyone in a country where more than half the population doesn’t vote anyway. Maybe instead of threats you should work with other people trying to help the people you want elected get elected.
Ate a platter of 3 different fried insects. I think it was wood worms, bees, and crickets. The bees were the best.
None of them were horrible. Would do it again.
Trump saying that out loud happened 4 days ago. This plan is not new this week. There are bits and pieces of new coverage going back a couple months.
This is why Tuberville is blocking military appointments and talking about not want a woke military.
Like I had to include that many different outlets in order to provide a full picture. FYI, APNews reported about this in late August. The fact that the NYT is telling you about it this week means that something very wrong occurred for two months while they didn’t.
The rightwing having a 1000-page guide to their overthrow of the country is what I would call the most important event of this year on US soil.
Do you want to only be told about the climate change rejection and not the other plans? That’s what’s fucked up.
The media is also avoiding reporting about all the parts of the rightwing plan.
They are as follow:
1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.
3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.
4-Use the DoJ to target critics
5-Weaken the election security agency
6-Reject climate change
7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government
Who? You mean the people planning to destroy democracy?
Pfft.
Out of those 3 options, I would prefer the flashlight.
Even if you already have a flashlight, you can always find another place that would benefit from one nearby.
I also just say that I don’t buy in at all to Darn Tough socks. This person can’t where any other brand of socks? Bullshit. You can just buy new generic socks before you get anywhere close to the price you’ll pay for gourmet socks.
Also depending on the person’s interests, getting them a boardgame could be nice.
OMFG, my fucking nose is gone!
19·1 year agoChrome is feeling its numbers drop, so they’re backing off until people stop paying attention. Then they’ll go right ahead with the plan.
No. American History X was pretty on the mark for the state of the US in 1999.
Trump ‘telling it like it is’ and how he was going to make Mexico pay for the border wall were what brought all the racist scum out of the woodwork.
Political correctness gets a lot of flak, but what it did was raise the bar. If you have to be careful to call one group of students ‘first years’ and not ‘freshmen’, then you know damn well calling different ethnic groups slurs is not acceptable. The PC movement drove the racists further into the closet, and then Trump was a big dinner bell to bring that shit back out again.
The original Twilight Zone.
Why does free speech only seem to cut one way?
We have to have free speech because corporations are humans who need to be free to pollute the political process with money, but oh no you can’t gather and talk about things I hate.
Latest word is that what he said in Atlanta and DC conflict.

So the purpose is to protect them if someone overclocks and fries it, meaning they know if you take it in under warranty and say you want this faulty part replaced?
