They’re just pals, nothing to see here.

Except all the liberals insisted they would vote for Biden’s corpse before letting Trump win. What does it say about them if an actual progressive is the real dealbreaker?

This is not colorblind friendly at all.

I didn’t mean to imply that the Wright Brothers were single-handedly responsible for the space-age tech boom lol, just that the royal “we” were about 66 years out from the moon landing at the time the Wright Brothers had their first successful flight.

Except not all Zionists are Jews, many are Christian.

I’d say we’re as close to that as the Wright Brothers were to figuring out the Apollo moon landing

So about 66 years then? I personally think we’re very far from creating anything on par with human intelligence, but that isn’t necessary for a lot of terrible things to come from AI tech. Honestly I would be more comfortable with a human-level or greater AI than something lesser still capable of agency.

If an AI is making decisions with consequences I’d prefer that it could be reasoned with as a peer, or at the least be smart enough to consider its’ own long-term sustainability, which must in some way be linked with that of humanity’s.

Except the moment you have orbital dominance over a planet then no amount of ground or atmosphere based weaponry matters whatsoever. All they would have to do is drop some mass from orbit and they can cause destruction far beyond even the most powerful nuclear weapons.

What you forget is that weapons are just an application of the sciences. Superior science = superior weaponry, even if the aliens haven’t bothered to “spec into” weapons research.

Lefty redneck here, looking forward to receiving my free horse.

The fantasy is the competent opposition to all of those things.

It’s because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldn’t definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.

Just want to clarify I was referring to the comments and not your post. I will be right there with you.

Kentucky amendment 2, which would have redirected public funds to private schools, failed miserably. Of all the red states, Kentucky seems to be somewhat unique in its’ strong resistance to Republican attacks on public education. It is, after all, why we have a Democratic governor. I only hope that continues to hold true.

Everyone here missing the point…

Leftist fascism is called fascism, because the term leftist doesn’t actually mean anything but fascism and communism do.

Because the electoral college was established with the explicit purpose of giving less populated states an advantage, and that would defeat the point. A lot of my fellow Americans don’t know or don’t want to admit that the electoral college was intentionally undemocratic from the start.

Kentucky’s state constitution has uniquely strong protections for public school funding, and amendment 2 nullifies all of them in one go.

Here’s the wording:

To give parents choices in educational opportunities for their children, are you in favor of enabling the General Assembly to provide financial support for the education costs of students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are outside the system of common (public) schools by amending the Constitution of Kentucky as stated below?

IT IS PROPOSED THAT A NEW SECTION BE ADDED TO THE CONSTITUTION OF KENTUCKY TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

The General Assembly may provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools. The General Assembly may exercise this authority by law, Sections 59, 60, 171, 183, 184, 186, and 189​ of this Constitution notwithstanding.

I genuinely think most KY voters don’t know what notwithstanding means, if they even bother to read that far.

I think it’s important to note that although there is definitely a trend of young men being radicalized through the “manosphere,” young women are so overwhelmingly progressive/liberal that gen z is still significantly more progressive/liberal overall than previous generations.

Pantheon.

Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don’t want to spoil it so I’ll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I’ve seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I’m talking about.

They’re too out of touch to realize this hurts Kamala Harris’ campaign more than it helps.
