(desserts! I only pretend to be illiterate, I promise.)

Correct, it wasn't. However, the election fuckery that spawned them is, and remains, a far worse threat to democracy. I'm looking forward to more mail in ballot hijinks and the additional 7 mil "new americans" Biden's let in -- which of course the DNC will fight tooth and nail for allowing to vote (because presenting an ID is too onerous of a requirement for certain groups to figure manage? What the fuck.)

All that ranting aside though, as as your queen even said:
>the purpose of protest is to make people uncomfortable
And, that's exactly what happened. Those congress critters cheering on the BLM protests (albeit they were fiery, but mostly peaceful, right?) getting their just deserts. (Pelosi, Waters, AOC.. just to name a few.) The commoners can be terrorized and see their cities besieged for weeks on end, and that's okay?

It is amazing hearing mewling progressive CNN fans regurgitate exactly what they're told; all the while (and without a shred of irony) using catchy midwit phrases like 'faux news'. Decades ago the running joke was about Pravda and blatantly dishonest reporting, as they were the Kremlin's propaganda arm. But we're absolutely there now in the US. CNN and MSNBC in particular might as well be the official mouthpieces of the DNC. But again, room temperature IQ progressives believe with every fiber of their being everything they're told. You are idiots, full stop. (and that's the nicest way to phrase it, by far.)

Trump didn't organize the riots (or insurrection? depending on your level of desired hyperbole), didn't spur them on, and the only instruction he gave was for them to be peaceful and later, to go home.

They aren't even actually liberal.
Liberalism is: "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'd fight to death to defend your right to say it"

These are progressives, and they have gone completely crackers, something about a slightly orange tinted man saying mean things on Twitter has caused them to abandon all humanity and common sense.

And of course this downmodded.
Pathetic.

I prefer to get my misinformation from CNN and MSNBC personally.

How would you solve any kind of issue in countries where anything that's not protected by armed guard is immediately pillaged and carted off in the middle of the night? Like Kenya (which isn't even remotely one of the worst places on earth in this department) has issues with electrical transformers being looted for the coolant, which is then used in fryers for cooking (if you visit kenya, don't order anything fried from a roadside stall.)
Throwing money at these places is beyond counterproductive. Subsidies and easy loans just destroy any kind of local initiative, food aid just makes for a larger, dependent population. Not to mention the bulk of whatever is sent is immediately stolen by whatever functionary can get his hands on it first.

Maybe the best course of action would be to just open the borders of the west entirely and let these people come into our countries. What could POSSIBLY go wrong.

Those are the same option, just phrased differently.

Oh bullshit, it was pretty clear exactly who you had in mind with your comment :)
white, rural, conservatives. The only group progressives feel okay dunking on with rude and demeaning stereotypes.

Whether or not it should is a different question -- but do you see attempts at AI going away anytime soon? Or any other LLM tasks for that matter?
I think his biggest task will be to avoid running afoul of antitrust/monopoly regulators.
If growth in AI matches current expectations, and nvidia is the only game in town, yeah that's going to be a problem.

I mean correct me if I'm wrong but currently under standard time the sun sets in late December at around 4:45. I'd much rather have that occur at 5:45.
Math is super hard, but I'm pretty sure that it checks out in this case?
(So perhaps I should have been more clear: an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon/evening.)

I think Oregon is pushing for abolishing time changes; of course being Oregon we're going to do it ass fucking backwards with maximum retardation
>permanent standard time
because who wants an extra hour of daylight in the winter? Not me!

It's the same thing with BMI, but here we are.
Look, if you give people a simple, 30 second sound-bite approved metric with which to apply sweeping generalizations, they'll use it.

Well I think it's a tad racist to assume the statistically lower IQ's of urban blacks would be down to their firearm fetish, but you do yo.
(Oh that's not what you meant? Gotcha. Nice backpedaling you racist fuck.)

Isn't there some speculation that life on earth started around undersea vents? Which are decidedly hotter than 212f.

Ahh my condolences, I didn't realize it was contagious.
(Kidding, just kidding. We can however respectfully disagree on the relative mental faculties of these two .. options, and their current state of decline. Cheers!)
