Yes there is a command structure but the command structure goes up to and includes democratically elected civilians. Our army is managed and overseen by civilians democratically elected to prevent exactly what you're describing. There is a complex series of committees and oversight that most Americans are blissfully unaware of. Senator Warren will be happy to talk your ear off about it because she serves on all of those committees.

Also remember if you are given an unlawful order you have a duty to disobey that order. That is not fascism. Fascism is a duty to a single individual. The US military has no such duty. Your duty is to the US Constitution and the United States and its democracy.

Now one more election with the fascists winning and yeah the army will be fascist because the civilian infrastructure that controls and oversees it will be fascist. But that's because the entire country is fascist.

We have a shitload of systems designed to prevent fascism and they are gradually being broken down. They have not completely broken down but the fascists have been working on this since newt Gingrich came up with the contract with America. So we are pretty far along in the process. It's a classic chesterton's fence where we kept tearing down a fence without knowing why it was put there

MKBHD reviewed it, and said that the crease is about an 8.5 out of 10. Honor have completely eliminated it, and Samsung is almost there.

Not that I think it matters. Apparently when in use you don't notice the crease at all, except for a slight sensation when sliding your finger over it.

It's too expensive for me too. But I'm amused that Samsung have got the jump on Apple. Apparently Apple's coming foldable is going to be the same "passport" shape as the Galaxy Fold 8, so now Samsung can say that Apple is copying them and the new iPhone is only a mid-tier device, below their Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra.

No, I spoke the truth. You not liking reality doesn't change that.

I do find it funny you went to the trouble of modding me down with one of your alts though. Some real dedication there. Assuming your not just usually a bot.

Honestly it's more about tracking people and knowing who is a ai and who is a person so you can use their inputs to train AI. When it comes to the internet nobody really gets the rat's ass about proving you're an adult except for companies like Planitir and Facebook. Every single law requiring age verification can be traced back to one of those two.

HDR video is nice, but I hope HDR images are not far behind. These days even mid range phones take HDR images, and conversion to SDR is often sub-par.

Do they even use copper? I think a lot of POTS is aluminium now, or CCA. No expense incurred.

Enough for all the children on Epstein Island.

Europe can no longer trust America and by extension American companies. We had a choice between a moderately competent woman and a convicted felon pedophile and we picked the convicted felon pedophile. In addition to the pedophile accepting 2 billion dollars in bribes for pardons and a questionable jet from a corrupt government he also threatened to invade Greenland and Canada and has completely fucked up the global economy by uselessly attacking Iran.

So Europe is disentangling itself from America. Which of course is going to fuck the American economy but the aforementioned pedophile does not give a shit. And neither do 37% of American voters who have no fucking clue the shit storm that's going to hit right after the midterms

Hey dingus, eventually this case will hit the supreme Court unless it dies in the lower courts. When that happens six of the nine judges are irredeemably corrupt.

You don't even need Google to read how and why the six judges are corrupt. Chat GTP can find it for you and I bet it could even read it to you just in case you're one of the 60% of Americans that read at a 6th grade level.

Must be nice being a summer child like you where you think everything's going to be fine for you personally even though the highest court in the land is on the take along with the president and the party currently in charge of Congress. Imagine going through life thinking that situation is going to turn out okay for people who post on this dying web forum.

Google is spending a lot of money right now to make them work. They also have backup centers in the United States. As soon as they think they can transition it to a profitable business all of that goes out the window and we're going to have to live with these things fucking up our freeways.

It's like boiling a frog except the frog is smart enough to jump out of the pot

Didn't you have to pay a shitload of taxes though? There are usually penalties for extracting money out of a 401k. I didn't think there was a way to move them to something like a money market account without incurring those penalties

But it's absolutely not sustainable. You won't be able to continue to regurgitate culture when you basically collapsed civilization.

Just have them autopilot it from the Philippines. Mechanical Turk and all that. I guess it doesn't really matter anymore. Fun fact if you have a 401k then you just had a billion dollars taken out of it. That's how much money you lost when you were forced to buy SpaceX because it was put in the NASDAQ 100 without meeting any of the requirements for joining the NASDAQ 100...

When you're running a scam that big, something worth hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars, why even bother with the self-driving car scam?

It's also easier to openly break the law and get away with it because you have absurd amounts of money and judges tend to side with whoever has the most cash.

Possession is 9/10 of the law. And yeah I know that doesn't technically mean what I am talking about here. But it means what it means in the context of reality. Specifically judges are members of the property owning class and so whether intentionally or not they tend to side with whoever has the most of the stuff.

So now it's open season on anything you create. In AI chatbot can ingest it and spit it right back out and as long as it doesn't do it verbatim there is fuck all you can do about it.

Creating something people loved used to be one of the last few ways to get ahead in the world and even that's being taken away and turned into shit and slop...

And it's why you're not wallowing in your own filth starving to death.
