About the Russian propaganda targeting American citizens. God knows my country can't do anything about it anymore.

I say this because I believe there are people in Europe that think they can let Russia run roughshod over us and weaken us and that they can take over our place on the global stage.

The problem is that while the current administration is basically destroying our economic prosperity and our ability to project soft power (that means getting shit done without bombs) they are not however cutting back on all those bombs.

I think Europe might be under the mistaken impression that their nuclear weapons will prevent us from acting.

I don't think they realize just how deeply fucking crazy we are. You know how people worry about religious lunatics getting a hold of nuclear weapons? That's us and we have those nuclear weapons.

We are about to put those religious lunatics in charge of our nuclear arsenal so that we can dream of cheap eggs and maybe say the n-word in public from time to time. Usually after a few too many drinks while we're really laying into a customer service rep...

Seriously world war III is definitely on the table. The way big wars start is that multiple stupid mistakes get made and before you know it everybody's killing everyone. America is putting the stupidest of the stupid in charge.

I'm just saying that would be a good time to help diffuse the situation.

Is that Trump fucks kids and you voted for a kid fucker.

So while it's true that Trump fucks kids it's also true that you voted for a kitty fucker. Which is weird because most people wouldn't do that. Well I mean I guess 77 million people would but half of them were stupid.

And you don't strike me as the stupid half you strike me as the willingly voting for a kid fucker half.

As of this writing is the problem with this country.

This is an overturning of 90 plus years of precedence for no particularly good reason. Is a clear violation of law. We should all be freaking the fuck out right now. The thread should have at least 500 comments on it.

The problem is I don't think people understand how bad this is. And that's how Trump got to be president twice. People do not understand the systems that protect them let alone that those systems have completely broken down

Best guess is that in five years we still won't have level 5 autonomy you can trust. I don't mind being wrong, but I don't think I will be. I certainly don't think it's viable for that kind of money and also achieving the kind of safety I think we should be demanding. Not just "better than human" but essentially infallible. The car can have sensors we don't have, it should be able to be a lot better.

I think 20k is an optimistic price point, especially if you're hoping that it's going to deflect liability.

there are lots of those, often with their own "store." I find batteries like that a lot.

But this was explicitly a Walmart listing, by Walmart, rather than a 3d party listing.

By all means please explain what in my post I don't actually believe or adhere to.

Being harsh to assholes does not a troll make. A troll is just trying to stir up trouble.

News flash genius we already have trouble I'm just pointing it out and I'm not being nice about it.

But it looks like I hurt your precious little right-wing fee fees. What's funny is you're just aching for the day when you can shoot and kill me on a whim. Every one of you right wing son of a bitches is. It's your one and only dream to get to randomly murder somebody with that gun you bought at the gun show. And of course not go to prison for it.

You think we haven't figured out what your end game is?

Thing is violence is just more violence and sooner or later, and I mean sooner than later, you'll be on the receiving end from another right wing extremist lunatic who's just out to try out the gun they bought.

Because you're not Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson you're a pasty little weirdo. And I'm fucking tired of being nice to you fuck sticks

This is just flat out illegal. This is literally not what the law says. This is a flat-out constitutional crisis people. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I don't have anything funny or insightful to say here just fuck.

This isn't reversing a precedent this is a fundamental breakdown in the rule of law. Barring a miracle our Republic is dead and Trump voters killed it.

I hope whatever the fuck you think you got from Trump was worth it.

But I've known people who aren't assholes that gravitate towards right wing media. I mean it's only knew them as friends I hung out with not like really close friends or family but still I knew them well enough and usually the asshole right wingers revealed themselves pretty quickly because sooner or later they're going to say something mildly racist.

I don't think they are that kind of jerk I think it's just there's something a certain class of people find entertaining about right-wing media that I don't understand.

It's how they can pipeline people from just being regular apolitical folk into extremism. Like that movie The brainwashing of my dad.

That chops up bits and pieces of my old posts adding usually little bits of nastiness in there to try and... Honestly I don't know what they're doing I think they're just training in llm the poison the well.

What it looks like they are doing is they are trying to build a chatbot that will impersonate people and get them in trouble with mods. The thing I don't understand is this isn't the kind of website where that happens. Thinking about it they are probably doing it for other websites and this is just where they are training the bot.

Facebook for example has a real problem with impersonation.

Jesus Christ I didn't think the people around here were that young.

Lots of people. I don't know how to explain this to you but there's this thing called the passage of time... I think Einstein invented it. Or maybe it was Newton.

Go look up when the Atari 800 computer was first released. Christ there were people writing mainframe code back then. Computers aren't really new. Yeah somebody with that much experiences getting ready to retire. Why the fuck do you think I said getting ready to retire in my post.

Also there are other forms of employment that require experience besides computers. Do try to keep up old chap

As ethical consumption under capitalism. Go look up that phrase.

Or if that's too advanced for you, and I suspect it is, just look up this comic, https://www.reddit.com/r/Peter...

Also, okay Boomer.

No need to be in denial, friend. That's literally how capitalism works. Did you think either "control" or "the means of production" was hyperbole?

It all but eliminated draftsmen, the drawing is done by the architects and engineers in the CAD software. The draftsmen mostly didn't become architects and engineers. Now take into account that everything becomes more complicated over time and yet also changes faster, and you can see where the problems are. Humans cannot keep up.

I suspect they were all correct. Most people have to experience life for a while before they learn the value of doing things in a way proven to be effective. The only thing they were wrong about is that the current youth were much more annoying than the youth of when they were a youth. They might even be right that they were different, and in denial about the value of their experience.

On one hand, you're right. You are absolutely describing the dominant paradigm. This is reality for most humans, and has been for most of history.

On the other hand, that's shit. If we continue to accept that, then that's what we will continue to have.

On the gripping hand, allowing the dickheads at the top of the ziggurat to eat all of our resources is unsustainable, so it won't continue indefinitely. At some point the whole thing collapses and goes full cannibal. And all we have to change to get there is nothing, so if you're tired of this, just wait!

You're right, and on top of that, we usually don't call hematite "rust" colloquially. We either call it hematite, or we call it a rock. If it's not crumbly and at least reddish people don't usually call it rust.
