Well, I’m over 40, so I know a bit about WW2.
Mostly from the documentaries I fall asleep to in the afternoons.

You can get a lot of hamburgers from a cow, but only two breasts from a chicken.
That means for every two chicken breasts you eat, one chicken dies.

Well, if there are going to be consequences, I guess you have no choice but to comply.
Grandad is rolling over in his grave right now.

Don’t comply

He’d rather we just lay down and let him do whatever he wants

Naw man, nerds don’t salivate hoping that someone will break into their house in the middle of the night so they can throw 20 sided dice at them.

Perhaps if you want to protect your own rights… you should have your own gun, and not depend on others to do it for you.
Who attacked gun rights? The guy making fun of hypocrites?

That was my Dad.
He was a lifelong republican who listened to Rush Limbaugh and was terrified of Immigrants. Literally thought Obama was the literal antichrist.
Those people’s lives are based only on fear. Anything unknown to them is to be distrusted, feared, or destroyed. If this same shit happened when Dad was alive and youthful, he probably would have been wearing an ICE vest.

Because the NRA and decades of right wing gun culture have convinced Americans that the 2A is about their right to own firearms.
The 2A very clearly is about the right for armed people to gather together and use violence to protect their communities.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 3 weeks ago:
China wouldn’t be on the side of the US. They would be backing the opposition
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 3 weeks ago:
Right, kind of an enemy of my enemy sort of thing. I could definitely see the same thing happening with China in some hypothetical scenarios
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 3 weeks ago:
Are you saying the CCP has done nothing that violates international laws or threaten other countries sovereignty?
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 3 weeks ago:
The US allied with the USSR to fight the Nazis. This wouldn’t be much different in my view
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 3 weeks ago:
Grifting and and inequality is a baked in part of capitalism. I don’t think you can get around it without fundamentally shifting your approach to money
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 3 weeks ago:
Of course it is and the creators know that. But it’s profitable
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 3 weeks ago:
Well, you still have to follow the rules. Unless you want to get shot of put into a box for the rest of your life.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 3 weeks ago:
Well yea, is it not blatantly obvious to everyone that bad actors will use this “bet on anything” bullshit to grift the system?
I’m certain the people who run the websites know this and don’t give a shit, because it’s profitable.

What’s a cookie banner?
I must have Element Zapped it the first time I saw one and never seen one since

This same behaviour happens to me, but only once in a while.

wait until the bubble crashes and we have tons of ram in the pipeline with no dedicated buyers
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 3 weeks ago:
How do you use the search bar in youtube? I put in topics or keywords, which seem to work just fine.
Are you putting in whole questions? I’m not sure the search function is designed to worked like that
- Comment on I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal 4 weeks ago:
Well sure, there might be a little internet, but how much you think they got out there? With everyone trying to use it at once, it’s gonna go real slow like.
It blows my mind how much they cribbed from Grapes of Wrath for that episode. You can literally see John Carradine and Henry Fonda’s characters right there hanging out with Randy, same spots they were in in the film

"The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world…” - Winston Churchill

Grocery prices have gone up like 120% in the last 5 years. The cost of some items has doubled in the last year. There are items that I can’t order online because Canada refuses to ship to the US (I live closer to Canada than to most other states).
We are well and truly fucked my friends. Be prepared for things to keep getting worse. We will likely see things we haven’t seen since the Great Depression. Go watch “The Grapes of Wrath” and let old Tom Joad show you how it’s gonna be.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 4 weeks ago:
But when your boss tells you that you have to keep doing it this way, then you don’t have much choice in the matter. You either keep asking AI for new code and hope it gets it right, or you have to actually delve into the code and spend your time correcting it.
The 1 million lines of code is just untenable, assuming they want code that actually works.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 4 weeks ago:
LLMs are - by the nature of how they work - only able to achieve 90-95% accuracy. That’s the theoretical best they can do, according to the people behind OpenAI. And worse, it will be presented as 100% accurate, even going so far as to make up sources wholecloth.
That’s an insane and completely unacceptable error rate for any system even pretending to be mission critical.
Can you imagine sending people to space with a system that has a 1 in 20 chance of just being completely unfit for service?
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 4 weeks ago:
But when they don’t pass, then you have to dissect a bunch of AI pasta, right?
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 5 weeks ago:
That was me, and my point was that we already had a suitable, regulated, and relatively safe system in place, ie taxis, so there’s no need for innovation that will needlessly endanger people.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 5 weeks ago:
Or, we managed to create a society where people are upset about new, unregulated, and, according to the article in question, potentially dangerous technology being implemented with little regard to the public good.
