What are your predictions on the Trump/Biden debate happening tomorrow?
  • Is there a bingo for this yet? Maybe one about what questions get asked?

    [] Question about who's going to make more Chinese people suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Yemeni people suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Palestinians suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Venezuelans suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Iranians suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Cubans suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Haitians suffer [] Question about who's going to make more Koreans suffer [] Will there be a total absence of a question about US healthcare? [] Will there be a total absence of a question about criminal justice? [] Will there be a total absence of a question about COVID? (this could be interesting, might actually be pretty likely to happen)

  • What are your predictions on the Trump/Biden debate happening tomorrow?
  • And pundits will say Trump made Biden look bad for it, but maybe the objectively good things Trump did will really cost him. Furthermore, maybe the objectively good things Biden did will cancel that out. Ultimately, it's up to voters to decide which candidate is more satanic, and mark them on the ballot!

  • What are your predictions on the Trump/Biden debate happening tomorrow?
  • The real horror will be watching all the propagandists asking each other stuff like "When the US needs to launch the nukes at China, will Biden be too impotent to do it?", "Americans don't want to see us capitulate to Russia, will Biden's arms deals to Ukraine be what wins him the nomination?", "Americans want Israel to teach the terrorists a lesson, but Biden said that Palestinians are human, will that become a problem for him?", "Trump's competent and actionable plan to use illegal migrant criminals as animal feed may prove to be more appealing to voters than Biden's limp-dick work camps", "both candidates seemed to put forth strong proposals for dealing with the excess homeless, lets discuss their plans".

  • The price of fee-dom is steep.
  • My understanding was that the US generally does have higher incomes, at least in terms of US dollar equivalents. At least, if an American goes on vacation in another country, you can expect your money to go a lot farther.

    We thought you people wanted choice, IT colossus sniffs

    Microsoft pushes Bing, GPT-4 in Chrome pop-up adverts

    From the article:

    What's really gross is the next part. Clicking "Yes" installs the Bing Chrome extension as well as changing the default search provider, and Chrome alerts the user in another dialog box that something potentially malicious is trying to update their settings. Google's browser recommends you click on a "Change it back" button to undo the tweak.

    But Redmond is one step ahead, displaying a message underneath Chrome's alert that reads: "Wait – don't change it back! If you do, you’ll turn off Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome and lose access to Bing AI with GPT-4 and DALL-E 3."

    Feels a little odd putting this under "technology"
