I guess several people saying they would kill me if they ever met me irl, and claiming their statements were “real, actionable threats” is just a typical online fight in a healthy community.

When I posted there in good faith all I got were death threats.

Yet in soup, or your mouth, NaCl will freely dissolve into its constituent parts. Which is totally fine, because electrons or something.

A man who played no small part in creating the era of journalism and media that brought us Trump in the first place. Go away George.

Whoever downvoted you is a loser.

Protests bigger than anti-Trump ones in the US incoming in 3…2…1…

The problem is that the LLMs have stolen all that information, repackaged it in ways that are subtly (or blatantly) false or misleading, and then hidden the real information behind a wall of search results that are entire domains of ai trash. It’s very difficult to even locate the original sources or forums anymore.

Except his term ends next year, the position is a presidential appointment, and Matt Gaetz is looking for a job.

Does it really matter? Israel had the sympathy of the world after Oct. 7 and they threw it all away with their genocidal response. They’ve created infinitely more enemies than they’ve killed, and it doesn’t matter if these enemies are called Hamas. Israel has guaranteed decades more violence be directed their way by whole new generations.

Yeah, wish they would bring it to full seamless VR rather than downgrade to tinyScreenOS.

While it’s become long in the tooth and populated now by only the super try-hards, check out Mordhau. Blocks, ripostes, parries, chambers; all attack angle swings and stabs. Really the best that it’s been done, by far.

Counterpoints: Mordhau, Nine Sols

You can learn to judge reach in Mordhau, though what you’re describing is a fundamental problem in video games. Unfortunately, like Chivalry before it, Mordhau devolved into ultra-high skill cap animation manipulation. Still, it has the best, highest fidelity melee combat ever, making games like for honor look and feel like trash. It’s almost impossible to enjoy any other melee combat games/RPGs after experiencing Mordhau.

Make sure you steal enough money to be able to afford the pardon.

Educated, intelligent people don’t vote Republican.

Since at least the 80s, the GOP has engaged in an active, organized effort to destroy education and promote anti-intellectualism. Fox News is both a cause and effect of that effort.

Many of the largest corps are buying and adding renewables in ever increasing amounts. There are some cases where fossil fuel is still a little bit cheaper than renewables plus batteries, if you completely ignore externalities like harmful emissions. Running out of space and maintenance costs? You’re grasping at straws. Nearly every industrial facility is on the grid, not requiring any nearby space. And you know what’s always more expensive than solar maintenance costs? Fossil plant maintenance costs, not even mentioning a little on-going cost and cost-risk thing called fuel.

More new solar capacity is being installed than any other generation type. I guess heavy industry is gonna collapse due to it being weak girly power! We’re doomed!

What specifically makes “industrial energy” different from any other energy? I keep seeing this lie about renewables everywhere and it doesn’t even try to make sense. Electricity is electricity. Need “more juice?” Install more renewables for the cheapest juice in history.

I don’t understand the particular hate for 8 at all. I mean, I hated it, but slightly less than 7 and 9.

Real fans only like the OT and Andor. Prequels were horse shit. 7 was absolute dog shit. 8 at least tried to do something interesting, but failed and ended up being cow shit. 9 was JJ slinging his own diarrhea on everyone.

Further fracturing of reality. More and more unique bubbles that people live in beyond left/right, pro-vax/anti-vax, etc. It’s hard to imagine exactly what this will look like, but I imagine even more distrust, stupidity, anger, cruelty, and violence. Have a nice day!
