magnetosphere

I can’t pick the funniest aspect here, but the sleeveless shirt and jacket deserve a mention.

I saw one of these things (or something like it) on an episode of Parks and Recreation. I thought the props department had made it. I didn’t realize it actually existed!

CNN is an American news company. I assume they added “western Germany” because most Americans don’t know where Aachen is.

Facebook sucks so hard that I’m surprised their servers haven’t collapsed into a singularity

I often wonder if environmental degradation could be the end of the line for humans, and if it might even be Great Filter material. Have other civilizations discovered the usefulness of fossil fuels, only to be ignorant, then apathetic, about their major downsides?

I like that it’s basing its behaviors on the laws of physics. No messy human language, no opinions, slants, or agendas. AI just isn’t ready (or, possibly, will never be ready) to handle that shit. Plus, it’s not stealing work created by humans under the guise of “training”.

I assume it still relies on datacenters, which are themselves ethically questionable. Still, this seems to be the “flavor” of AI that I hate the least.

To any foreign nationals who unavoidably must enter the US: don’t bring ANY of your devices with you. Get a burner phone.

I hope the province refuses to pay

He’s so used to being immune from consequences, he can no longer recognize a terrible idea when he has one. Welcome to the real world, dipshit.

One of the few good things I will say about Trump is this: his bumbling, greed, and tantrums have provided the wake-up call that the world needs. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT RELIABLE.

If your company is still uses software that relies on foreign servers, why? (This is a rhetorical question, but if you want to respond anyway, please do!)

Good thing we didn’t give them reason to distrust us by having ICE arrest a bunch of their citizens who were in the US legally… oh, wait…

Part of me would like to see this go to court. It could be amusing for the Israeli government to demand equality while refusing it to others. I’d like to get their pro-equality statements on the legal record.

At this point, would we be comfortable with the influence of any group or individual with enough money, and desire, to buy EA?

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE STILL EXPECTING THIS GARBAGE TO WORK? Tesla’s “full self driving” crashes have been widely covered. Is it simple ignorance? Are they not aware of the news? Is it stubbornness? Laziness? Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”? Do they sincerely believe Musk’s lies?

I know that victim blaming isn’t the answer, and that’s not what I’m doing. I just want to know what’s going on in their heads.

The IDF broke the ceasefire within hours, but if we’re calling that “appears to hold”, fine. As long as starving civilians are actually getting food, I’ll let it slide.

NO living person should be commemorated on a coin, regardless of political ideology.

Hopefully, this abomination will go over about as well as the Sacajawea dollar coin.

Oh noes. They hurt genocidal maniacs feelings 😢

I’m used to “religious” wackos being wackos, but HUH?

Well, this is what happens when Trump pisses on allies, ignores Putin’s aggression, and leads America into fascism. Plus, haven’t conservatives complained about Europe leaning too heavily on the U.S., and encouraged them to stand on their own?

There wouldn’t be anti-American sentiment if Trump hadn’t introduced anti-Canadian sentiment. Actions have consequences. The Canadian people aren’t mindless sycophants, and I admire them for it.
