The rapeublicans are literally running the Nazi playbook, which is ironic because that was inspired by the USA's laws about slavery. Now which is the party of slavery again? I think I'll go with the party that controls the state where we still have slaves picking cotton.

Slashdot was relevant.

Weird they want to remind us of that.

He's literally insane. His earliest posts weren't like this.

My Ninja coffee maker has a clock, nice little blue-green one. I set it maybe once and it is easy to do. But now I just let it show some completely wrong time because I don't need to time when my coffee will brew and I won't bother checking it for the time when I have like 20 other ways to find out
 

Yes. This.

Didn't someone already do that with the Doom map editor?

Then maybe just give up. Read a book or jerk off or something.

To think, there was a time before we took a hard turn into Idiocracy 2: Now With Stupid Nazis.

Not that things were all rainbows and unicorns. I remember the early 2000's and 1990's quite well. We were both optimistic that the Cold War was over and we wouldn't have to duck and cover. But also we were cynical or depressed about the state of news media, reporting, politics, and the general lack of interest from the public to improve anything. In a few short decades we went from spindoctors and talking heads to mango-fascism. How innocent we all once were.

I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

Ilhan has been in her seat for 4 terms, any day now she'll reveal her secret plan for Sharia? What's she been waiting for? I don't even particuarly like Omar, I think she's an omnicause slopulist but I'm not so deranged to think she's some secret Islamist.

I guarantee whatever media figures you get your news from are far more radical. How about you share your media sources and podcasts with us?

And yet the fact you said that shows us all you actually haven't read the history of either of those places to understand why they are where they are now. Also you know who is the biggest fawning fan of Erdogan? Donald Trump and Republicans.

Meanwhile we have JD Vance campaigning with Victor Fucking Orban which is a form of authoritarianism far more likely to grab hold in the US but that's white folks so you have no worries about that do you.

Close to how I want to see nuclear power re-launched in America:

Legislation for funding 10-30 new reactors, owned and operated by government (like TVA does already)
Build them on selected Federal land sites
Have the Army Corp of Engineers certify and plan on a standardized design for construction (example, work with Westinghouse on our own version of an AP1000)
Fund a Manhattan Project style research initiative into fuel reprocessing and build a site(s) to absorb waste fuel.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.

They like it when they are the ones with exclusive access because they feel special.

They don't like it otherwise but rapidly forget they paid to be fucked over.

Go back further and you'll see he wasn't like that until Obama got elected.

Racism broke his brain.

Also the entire GTA series is filled with games that people tend to replay so it's an relevant objection in this story
