“How about I earn another $250k and we DINK our way across the globe?”

I think China is just in full facepalm mode about how shockingly incompetent the Russians are and assume that they will fuck up such a delicate situation like strategic dick waving.

I am way less scared of piss baby Putin than I am of micro plastic lymphoma. Fuck it light me up at least it will be quick.

The reality is that a certain portion of people will never believe that an AI can be self aware no matter how advanced they get. There are a lot of interesting philosophical questiona here, and the hard skeptics are punting just as much as the true believers in this case.

It’s honestly kind of sad to see how much reactionary anti-tech sentiment there is in this tech enthusiast community.

This is more or less implied in project 2025 with all the age verification shit they want to implement at a national level to keep kids from learning that gay people are humans.

Best i can imagine, this is what happens if you are terrified of smart pointers, but also want to make all object pointers scope specific. So at every layer of hierarchy, you have a unique reference to some partial implementation above and below it.

Honestly I struggle to imagine any real scenario where this would make sense… except maybe like some kind of insane recursive factory.

In fact, the “cinematic” shit was the worst part of it IMO. There were gameplay segments where it got very tedious.

Photorealism just puts a lot of constraints on gameplay mechanics and art direction.

You can also unscrew it though.

What a strange thing to have a superiority complex over. “It is legal to install plumbing which can’t be mechanically cleaned.”

In this case it’s not so much horseshoe theory as it is that most tankies on lemmy are just trolls, or teenagers parroting trolls.

Gen Z was a mistake

I am pretty convinced that .ml is legitimately used as a Russian troll training ground before they get promoted to Facebook and reddit.

On lemmy, this is far more likely to be some weird tankie shit about western propaganda. Though it is definitely noteworthy that the far right and far left seem to push a lot of the same misinformation on here.

Also, in general lemmy trolls are super easy to spot because they don’t do anything else. All they do is whine about democrats or post Russian propaganda and never engage on any other topics.

Your view of tech bros is largely from YouTube. On the ground it’s still a ton of really smart people with real engineering degrees working really hard. Brogrammers are much more common, but they are still widely regarded as a scourge.

USA bad. Uplemmy left

After 2016, the DNC already halved their influence. I’d argue they are a necessary evil to prevent various scenarios where bad actors try to hijack a primary.

But more generally, the entire point of a political party is to express political preferences via a platform, and to back candidates which support that platform. I don’t really understand this idea otherwise… if a dozen Republicans decided to run as democrats to “troll” the primary, you’d want the party to step in, right?

In 2008 Obama was the outsider candidate but he was actually popular enough that the party had no choice but to back him in the end. That’s how the process is supposed to work.

I’m sure several democrats will run?

She will run into the same problems as Clinton. The right has spent a decade attacking her at every opportunity so that she is a polarizing figure, whether she deserves it or not.
