This is the kind of willfully ignorant, close minded pathetic responses that really pisses me off.

So because some vehicles still use fossil fuel, we should make absolutely no advancements towards renewables? If it can't be a 100% changeover all at once it's not worth doing?

I wish stupidity was painful.

This is my pet peeve. AI has been turned into a marketing term for things that are not the traditional definition of AI.
The term is now corrupted beyond all hope of recovery.
I'm distressed at how much tools like Chat GPT favor seeming intelligent and capable as an illusion even when lying to you. I've even caught it making a mistake and then blaming me for the mistake or pretending it meant to do it wring as a test step. The conman element is real,. even down to the tool itself.

Republicans want to kill SS.

No software architect alive would promise to rebuild 60 million lines of highly regulated legal rules in 6 months.

After a lifetime of SS theft by the government, "borrowing" from the SS fund, suddenly with the "discovery" of issues by Musk's hit team, they'll find a reason to advertise that SS had to be cut off and they'll sharply decrease payments and eligibility. It's exactly the kind of thing that would make Trumps base start taking more shots at him, but it'll be wrappered in efficiency and problem solving so that people do not even see that their lifetime of paying into SS is being stolen from them.

Comment Re:U.S. foreign aid funding!?!?!?!?!!!!?!???!?!?! (Score 2) 85

I understand your point. My resistance is more to the topic of why is it a US foreign aid issue to fund relocating Asians in Asia?
I feel bad for these people who have been victimized. But lets see the outrage pointed at the countries not responding to the return of their citizens rather than paint a picture of how this is somehow the USs fault. Why is their help somehow dependent on US aide from a country that already has vastly too much debt? Where is the rest of the world's assistance on this? Shouldn't that program properly be funded by most countries and the US is just one cup of water in that 5 gallon bucket?

Comment U.S. foreign aid funding!?!?!?!?!!!!?!???!?!?! (Score 1) 85

While I think it's tragic in regards to the slapadash chaos that is the Trump administration's approach to destroying everything that they do not like, I think it's petty and unfair of the article to say "The recent abrupt halt to U.S. foreign aid funding..."
The article describes an issue on the opposite side of the world, and mentions no US citizen involvement, but yet somehow finds the nerve to point at a lack of US funding as contributing to the issue with getting these people home? Keep your pet agendas out of the news, please.
