Peaceful protests were meant to be a compromise to warn that something worse was coming. Black Panthers. Weather Underground. IRA and Sinn Fein.

Effective peaceful movements had potentially violent components. The more radical elements disappeared and peaceful protests became useless.

Unions were a compromise. Before unions, you’d drag the factory owner into his front lawn and exact justice.

“This is a greedy health insurance CEO who killed countless people and caused untold human suffering. And this is Chewbacca. Why am I talking about Chewbacca? It doesn’t make sense. You must acquit!”

Whistleblowers are automatically overcome with grief at disappointing the high and mighty Job Creators and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice in despair.

Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.

Cat.

stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is

That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.

I’m not sure you really need an interpreter to say “march forward” and “get killed.” Seems like a simple enough message. You could probably use hand signals.

I’m thinking that’s a combination of a lost bet and some cleverness.

The tested LLMs fared much worse, though, when the Apple researchers modified the GSM-Symbolic benchmark by adding “seemingly relevant but ultimately inconsequential statements” to the questions

Good thing they’re being trained on random posts and comments on the internet, which are known for being succinct and accurate.

Be a good dad to Ciri. It’s extremely important.

Don’t worry, Russian military. I know a company in Hungary that sells pagers and walkie-talkies in bulk to facilitate communication.

Good for Macron, but it isn’t happening. The die is cast. Israel won’t stop until Iran’s nuclear program is destroyed, along with Hezbollah and Hamas. The long term plans are likely to occupy the West Bank as well.

If Biden cut off the weapons pipeline right now, Israel would have stocks to continue the war. And Trump might get elected because of it, and he’s actively pro-genocide and fascism.

Israel struck at exactly the right time. The US has no leverage unless and until Harris wins.

I just hope the party without any access to global trade has some kind of recourse when/if more than half of the goods are spoiled. Sure would be a shame if Pakistan made a fortune on this trade at the expense of Putin.

Sometimes, I think Cointellpro figured out that you don’t need to insert provocateurs to talk about terrorist shit. Just put one nerd in the chat to challenge a subgroup’s purity, and every leftist movement will collapse into infighting and dissolve.

John Bolton, famous war enjoyer

That should be Bolton’s epitaph. It’s still wild to think he was one of the sanest voices in the Trump administration, especially when he was one of the craziest in the Bush administration.

There’s an alternate timeline where the non-profit side of the company won, Altman the Conman was booted and exposed, and OpenAI kept developing machine learning in a way that actually benefits actual use cases.

Cancer screenings approved by a doctor could be accurate enough to save so many lives and so much suffering through early detection.

Instead, Altman turned a promising technology into a meme stock with a product released too early to ever fix properly.

Why is that weird? I put things out hoping someone will grab it, so i don’t have to risk the city not taking it.

Ukraine needs to be allowed to go weapons free in Russia proper, destroy their air defenses, then start hitting refineries and other high value targets throughout Russia and especially near Moscow. Then, peace talks can be productive.

Verified, so that’s clearly him. Ask him why his dad was in Dallas when JFK was shot.
