AI won’t be used to improve our lives. It will be used for propaganda, surveillance and control. For generating deepfakes and running legions of bots.

Only AI is fast enough to generate the blizzard of bullsh*t that governments and corporations need to keep us under control.

That’s OK. We’ve got other stuff to do. Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, rewatch the original Star Wars trilogy. Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Stardew Valley. And about 20,000 unread ebooks. I’ll be just fine.

Those are libertarians, the"I got mine and fark everybody else" crowd, not liberals.

You can store eggs forever! Their value will only go up!

" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."

That’s a special kind of stupid.

That coke-rush is just temporary and afterwards, leaves you feeling like this:

That is just exploding with irony.

This. As a juror, you can absolutely vote to not convict someone if you think they’re being prosecuted under an unjust law. Just don’t mention “jury nullification” in front of a judge or prosecutors. They hate that.

If you’re using Steam, they use a native Linux client and a custom Proton that has all the settings and presets for their game library.

Everything I bought on Steam works for me under Linux Mint. And almost all my older games, like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” I can run directly under Wine with the default settings.

That’s life in Goober Nation.

Also keep in mind that the astronauts communicated with Earth by radio. Anyone with even 1920s radio technology would have figured out that the astronauts weren’t broadcasting from the Moon.

We were in the middle of a cold war with the soviets back in the 1960s. Proving the moon landing was fake would have been the propaganda coup of the century for them. What possible reason would they have to stay quiet about that?

I would just assume that anyone who needed a cite for really obvious stuff is just trolling.

" . . . and an RV and a garage full of boats and jet skis."

“What’s stopping men from dressing like this?”

Dignity and self-respect?

If you work 40 hours a week and you STILL can’t afford to pay basic living expenses, then your economy sucks.

Nah. Jokes are funny.

We have to accept false dichotomies because the only alternative is cannibalism.
