I know a lot of folks love TLJ, and I wish I did, but I think it made this problem worse - "the entire first order chases the entire resistance" simply does not match the scale of star wars, and it's deeply jarring they had one last chance to rectify this with RoS, and it could not have gone worse

I will note that the major difference is that one is a service and one is very much a product. For all intents it is consumerism driving it, though the financial manipulations driving this price hike are stupider and more anti-social than the burrito taxi subsidies.

Interesting and good luck to them. They won't get all they want but even a moratorium at least until ICE has mostly fucked off is probably a good thing. To my mind if these orgs want to build moment they have to make all their actions about countering ICE for at least the next year.

If anything this probably just means dems need to refuse to acknowledge all the good stuff for Trans people they do, continue to do good stuff, and bring the righteous hammer of regs and the law down on the wormtounge bastards that have spread their corruption. I want Weiss to get audited every year

I know business is a much better customer than consoomers, but like guys you know business spend does dry up? The big question is if the chinese manufacturers will be the new partners of choice for integrators and all the western suppliers get fucked royally when business capex dries up

if someone is saying shit like "it's lowkey biphobic that you support AOC even though she won't legalize cannibalism" or "you realize that expecting your room to have windows a luxury belief right" what you're seeing are the charged particles being shot off from polycule fission

Wow are you telling me the compute to generate videos is steep enough that ads can't make up the difference? That's crazy. The perverts could've already told you that for free. OpenAi seems to have a monetization plan that would be the wet dream of the most amoral kpi maxing product manager.

I geniunely don't know how you slice the pie to where you can prevent antisocial nonsense like this without also giving the rich, powerful, and well conected individuals/corporations a perfect cudgle to be used to silence anyone they don't want. Clearly we need a way to curb creepers no idea how

All the most illiterate people on this site are going ape shit about this nevermind they'd go equally ape shit if there was no human in the loop. Seriously though we are matching facebook right now for mindess knee-jerk reactions to posts.

Getting rid of your sports section is such a fucking self own its hard to find where to even begin. Sports sections are the literal bread and butter for media.

*FRENCH POLICE RAID X OFFICES IN PARIS *GROK "NOT APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF RACIST AGAINST ALGERIANS" PER SOURCE *MULTIPLE FRENCH ACADEMICS SIGN PETITION IN SUPPORT OF IMAGE GENERATION CAPABILITIES

cooked this one up while thinking about transmission infrastructure

Its gonna be darkly hilarious when the only mid aughts webmaster figure that isn't in the Epstein files is fucking lowtax and tom fulp.

This also does partly put into context why tech's current coalitions are acting the way the do politically, microsoft/openai/oracle/facebook all are huddling together to keep the ai bubble afloat while positioning for a political bailout. Google and its coalition much less so since they're winning.

look if Dem politicians need a moderate-sounding thing to say that isn't "abolish ICE and CBP" may I gently suggest they adopt "bring back Immigration and Naturalization Services" "bring back INS" will MEAN "abolish ICE and CBP" but get you out of saying it if you're a weenie

A take only held by those gripped by a deeply held dopamine addiction. Uncommon L

Its incredible how bluechecks manage to have the worst posts no matter the site. Doing critical readings of statements made by people in opposition to this nazi nonsense is both churlish and ivory tower bs.

Really you can't even be surprised or hurt by this, people have the ultimate choice to choose how they identify and align. All you can do is listen note down what cohorts will be first in line for political support and which ones wont. Teachers? Yes. Small Business owners of any kind? No.

This is probably why we're all in more danger now than we've ever been since even the 80s. The utter apathy and rank cowardice is the one situation than can have a large organization lumber into a decision/situation everyone recognizes is utterly terrible.

Seeing Microslop and Satya slowly getting bent over a barrel by reality. After they've spent the last 4 years doing everything they can shit on customers, all you can do is smile.

Cope, seethe, I bolieve

RT if you STAND with WASP FINANCE CAPITAL against the PRUSSIAN MENACE in the White House!

My hot take is that iran and the us should be natural allies, but until I see the army start taking chunks out of the rev guard or the rev guard giving up their grifto patronage networks is probably better off betting the jets win the superbowl next year.

Satya Nadella is gonna dropped so fucking when there's even a slight downturn. I have no idea what the corporate soup inside Microslop is to make them think this is a good idea, but shit must be so toxic.

I have a hard time coming up with a structural setup for immigration enforcement that will be more resistant to hitlerites joining and making it toxic. Maybe you make the states responsible for providing the enforcement manpower, but you set the director org as an org run like the fed reserve?

Any Canadian nuclear weapons program would spend 3x its budget swapping between a uranium and plutonium bomb for 2 decades before the program gets killed by a new peacenik urbanite.

When in doubt use argon, if that doesn't work use even more argon.

I get the NYT and Wash Po not leaking it, but continuing to jerk yourself off about how much of a moral bastion you are for not leaking it is just so gauche. Like good for you buddy, don't give yourself carpal tunnel from stroke it so hard.

Shinji I say Shinji boy you listen here and you listen good. Rei pilots that there EVA like a damned horny toad stuck in the dryin mud. she's getting CLOBBERED out there, look at her a lying in this bed like a lump on a log, it's a shame I say a CRYIN shame

There's an old saying in Vior'la -- I know it's in Sa'cea, probably in Vior'la -- that says, "Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again."

It all really does come down to "Its easy dumbass, just make policy that always achieves it's goals and only its goals". Which would definitely work if we got our policy from the good policy tree, instead of the imperfect fuck ups that are you, I and the taxi driver with opinions.

One has to wonder if the rockies are the omelas child so that the rest of Colorado sports can be good.

One of the key insights that was critical to modern life was the dispassionate execution/enforcement of business contracts via the state, instead of needing a bunch of scary lads to threaten someone to enforce agreements. Keeping the drug trade from using that means that force rules the day.

BRONCOS WIN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

Fuck

In the war of ideas the anonymous gestalt of the boards proved vastly more capable of idea refinement and propagation compared to the academic origins of MeToo. I do wonder if there's anyway that MeToo could've had the dynamism to win the war of ideas. Or if it was always destined to be fuel for gg.

I'm hearing reports that Glonzo has trapped John Cornyn in a power station

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Racism but linkedinly

Alright everyone, gotta make sure all align on calling it the disney flu or mickey's disease. This our chance to destroy their brand value and drag them into hell for fucking up sports streaming.

I do not know how you win elections consistently with this electorate besides depressing turnout among low trust dipshits

Deeply funny that Donald Trump is a symptom of the utter legislative paralysis that has crushed this country since the 80s, and he might also end up being the cure.

What a wonderous thing to wake up to.

Lets not sprain our arms patting ourselves on the back for seeing the "real" reasons. It can be true. But, at the same time what's also true is that successful products adapt to the world that exists, and that world has been built for the human body. Few will renovate their house for a iFuddrucker

"you use AWS?? for a global-scale low-latency platform?? have you considered Microsoft Azure??" lord save us from bsky posters

Federal services being shuttered for more than even 3 months will probably produce enough legislator corspes that personal self preservation instincts will take over. Not just from the hungery masses and unpaid workers, but all the busines stakeholders who aren't part of the inner grift circle.
