I mean, I’m apparently good enough to at least have one kid, so I got that going for me. Wasn’t an accident or anything either.

But I at least have a well paying job so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Plus, if generalize all women to be like my ex, I don’t want to date again. So being ugly ain’t all bad

Lmfao

Let’s see: I love reading, I am learning French, I paint, I write, I enjoy a bit o astronomy, I am an archer, and I have learned how to blacksmith.

Yeah this is just a list of activities with no correlation to attractiveness whatsoever

Edit: let me be clear, I’ve learned to blacksmith the cheating way with propane or natural gas AND the good old fashioned hand cranked coal fired away meant to coat your lungs with soot like a real man. And make sure you bring the borax cause we gonna do some welds

Imagine you create a world where currency becomes less and less valuable. Essentially it becomes worthless.

Debts, will, of course, soar out of control. Trump, banks, private equity, mortgages, etc. Everyone is underwater.

How do people eat? How do people get medical care? How do people have shelter? Why it’s easy of course. The Party provides. “But wait that’s communism!” Hold on there buddy, communism is collectivism. This isn’t collectivism, this is fascism. The Government takes control of failing businesses, and decides who continues to be rich and who doesn’t. Workers are provided new “currency” tied to essentially paying the owners of everything the right to work, eat, be sheltered, and get medicine. In exchange, they do exactly what they are told. If you step out of line, well, there is a camp for that.

“They couldn’t enforce such a thing.” China and Russia already have. I would not call it successful, at some point it will fail rapidly and harshly, Fascism always does.

There is no end game here. The intent is absolute power. The consequences aren’t important for those that obtain the power during their lifetime.

I don’t think this will work the way he expects. While he has the ‘legal’ authority to take command of a State’s National Guard, there is absolutely no way a single one of the governors would allow this. The red states may allow the military into their bluer cities, but the Democrat governors have largely already said they’ll refuse it.

The largest issue is that the “Mass Deportations” don’t forcibly remove people from the country. They have to process where they all get sent. Guess where they concentrate the immigrants? Guess what happens when those facilities get too full to use them as a cheap source of labor or keep them fed?

Ok that third one, come the fuck on.

Like don’t even pretend. You could never ride nearly the number of Pokemon you can compared to Pals in Palworld.

That’s basically patenting riding a fucking horse

“High accuracy” I mean, technically if it has to make slightly too much of a course correction it’ll destroy itself lol.

I wonder at what rate of turn a hypersonic missile will experience hitting the air like a wall of concrete.

Bit late init

Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: “how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read.”

I don’t know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn’t generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

Yeah, and that fuckwits name was Paul von Hindenburg in Germany.

The fall of the Roman Republic was way more complex though wasn’t it? Like the Senate killed Ceaser and then voted to give his son unlimited tenure as Commander In Chief? There’s a lot to unpack there

Oh good lord.

You know, it’s kind of weird to me that there are republicans stating he won’t be confirmed, which, also has me wondering, does that mean he does not have a senate full of Yes men?

Trump isn’t going to like that, so I assume they will change their mind after a little private one on one meeting with him.

GODLIKE!!!

Lunokhod is a soviet lunar rover.

I don’t think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don’t think it’s dirt keeping him in check.

It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

If Trump doesn’t respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he’d just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

RC Hobbiests become the most in demand job.

I was going to say “doubt” because I’ve seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You’ll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

Vance. Godda be Vance. Right hand to Trump now, so when the night of the long knives occurs, he’s got a rope waiting.

Secret republicans?

Everyone I know who listens to Joe Rogan is clearly Republican if they aren’t stating it themselves.

It’s a darn shame they know where they are grouping up. Would be even worse if Ukraine had weapons to strike that far into Russia without Russia being able to do jack shit about it.

At Ukraine’s last kill count at 1500/day, if this was the only force they were fighting it would take 33 days to grind.

But if that level of human sacrifice is required by NK and Russia so be it I guess.

Which Is so strange to me. If Trump gets his way with the dictatorships, if that threatened him that much, he could wipe Russia off the map. We already publicly know they have a paper army, and we know Russia never had nearly the number of nukes they claimed, how could anyone who becomes a dictator with the US military be afraid of anything but people close enough to him to kill him?
