Yep. Remind me, who was responsible for the Liberty Ships?

Looking at me when they’re talking. I don’t care for the politeness of it, just watch the road!

Yeah 1896 was pretty bad for computer games in general. And computers.

he felt he didn’t have the authority to pardon State convictions.

That’s because he doesn’t have that authority. Your quote is him gently hinting to the states that they should follow his lead, but there’s nothing he can do to force them to.

They have a concept of quitting.

This is something I really don’t get in the US. How is it that a judge in one state/area/circuit whatever can make a decision that affects the entire nation? Having a bunch of courts spread around the place that people can cherry pick from to get the result they want seems so arbitrary.

Not to mention Trump’s “sharpie realignment” of Israel’s border during his last term. These people have rocks in their heads if they thought this was going to go any other way.

But on the plus side, dumb people actively infect themselves and get removed from the gene pool.

Ocean: “your land, my choice”

Fuck, if only the road was clear BEFORE the election…

Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.

This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.

Perhaps not “take him out”, but I do hope Biden finally grows a pair and goes scorched earth on Trump by generally using the supreme court ruling to make life as difficult as possible for him, for example releasing all the Epstein files. I’m so sick of the Democrats continuing to think they can use reason and the moral highground while fighting a opponent who punches below the belt. Get down and fight dirty for once!

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We’re going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don’t get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it’s very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

I get so tired of these headlines that are basically “Authority figure says obvious thing”. Like, yeah, and so do most other people, thanks for the update.

I feel that divergence is what made DS9 so good. Instead of travelling around exploring aliens, we’re stationary exploring ourselves and our politics. It was a great idea to make a show about a completely different aspect of Starfleet life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the last great idea they had.

I’d love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.

War always favours the incumbent at election time, so the cynic in me thinks the US is dragging its feet quite purposely.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and all I’m seeing is a lot of the world walking past if not enabling. It’s all very well for world leaders to point out the obvious but until something is done about it, it’s just hot air.

Netflix add and remove stuff without fanfare all the time. What do you mean “quietly added”? Are we expecting announcements?
