This would have been funnier in the 40s. The kids would have been able, baker, charlie, and dog.

Trump promised not to do another Iraq or Afghanistan. He never said anything about another Vietnam.

IDK how Trump ever expects to get the peace prize by blowing up Colombian fishing boats. A real Peace Prize winning president knows to be rational and humane by bombing Yemeni weddings instead.

I need windows for flight sims. My problem is not so much the software, it’s the hardware. I have a head-tracking camera, a set of pedals, a throttle, and joystick. All need separate drivers. None support Linux. My throttle is so old that it hasn’t been supported since W7 and it’s work to get it going on W10.

It’s just way easier to dual boot than to try to get all that hardware running on Linux.

Treat capitalists as you find them. Forget morality. What is advantageous and legal is automatically good. What is advantageous and illegal is a cost/benefit calculation.

One thing our author forgets about the Philippines and Ferdinand Marcos is that his authoritarianism was going on for years before the uprising. And that his son is the current president of the Philippines.

So I’m not sure it’s the great example of democracy over authoritarian cult of personality.

It’s really sad when non-believers don’t value other’s freedom to believe what they want. It seems hypocritical. Citing Muslims as an example of Chinese religious freedom is either dishonest or ignorant.

Everybody who laughs at this uses Yahoo for Email.

They should have called it the Police Interceptor Ground.

edit: Or the Kosher cruiser because it doesn’t have any pork in it.

In American leftism there is a definite divide between black and white.

For example second wave feminism is often thought of as Women seeking entry into the workplace, but at the same time black feminists were trying to leave the workforce and take care of their own kids.

The labor movement has an explicitly racist history. A fact that Capitalists often took advantage of by leveraging black scabs who were often ineligible for union membership. Eugne Debs identified this as a problem with the socialist movement.

I’m not saying that racism is common among today’s lefties, just that white lefties are often ignorant of black American life and especially black radical thought and activism.

If you are vexed by Bernie Sanders’ struggle with black voters, you’re probably not very familiar with this history.

Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

It seems obvious to me that if our taxonomy fails to describe the natural world, then our definition of life is inadequate. Viruses being “not alive” because semantics has bugged me since the 7th grade.

I’m suspicious of an article about advanced robotics without any description or depiction of said robots. Humanoid robots are for advertising brochures. They’re impractical for almost everything.

This is some anecdote from executives jotted down by journalists who never got near these factories.

Not saying its fake, just lazy and incurious journalism.

But with OpenAI, [Sam Altman] told me, “there’s something real happening here”.

This sentience strikes me because it’s a tacit admission that AI as it stands is way less valuable than people like Altman promised it would be. But trust me bro.

I used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.
