Okay, but one side uses fear to roll out voting rights while the other takes those same rights away. Fear isn't controlling all of us because it is up to us in how we respond.

Honestly that's overselling Biden and their own pitch is you are voting against ending democracy. Biden isn't going to make the future less grim (unless we protest), but Trump would certainly make it worse.

I love the part where the democratic leadership made sure there were no viable alternatives during the primary.

Yes the part about reducing government size. You have project 2025 that wants to get rid of the EPA and the Department of Education. Do the billionaires support this project because they have integrity or because it's good for their bottom line?

Was wondering if they're using RaG, and they are, but in the worst possible way:

Complicating matters is the fact that Copilot doesn’t always know where to go to find an answer to a particular question, Spataro said. When asked a question about revenue, Copilot won’t necessarily know to go straight to the enterprise financial system of record rather than picking up any revenue-related numbers that appear in emails or documents, he said.

Thing might be rendered useful if you could constrain it to search a particular source or site. And even better, instead of hallucinating it could just give you a link and a citation. We could call it a search engine.

Do you think the capitalists who say exactly that, have integrity? Could you name one?

"Free market capitalism" is a fairytale we tell school children. Free market capitalism would be me filling up my car with leaded gasoline before going to work at a meth plant, but also I gotta pay the toll to use the private roads.

The war on drugs has entered the chat

WDYM, it's not like the structural problems of capitalism would favor fascists if we provide a market for buying guns. It's not like fascists are the ones with more money and time from owning a business or something. I would totally show up to defend my country from a coup as long as it coincides with my work break. /s

Who do you think the US government works for?

I would love a station wagon, but not many of those around where I live 🙃

This display of a man hoping AI reclaims the awe in technology he once felt as a 17 year-old:

Sam Altman is the snake oil salesman who might restore Silicon Valley to its former glory https://sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/06/25/opinion-ai-altman-silicon-valley-revival/

I'm not sure, but it won't be televised.

IDK, it could be like with priests, where the job attracts a certain type because of the perks...

I'm so tired of these woke time travellers imposing their radical agenda and they never bring me along!

And in Hamas's language they call rocket launch sites Alderaan. Google "The destruction of Alderaan" to learn more.

"Autonomous region" is a technical label, but it does not negate the fact they don't control their borders or who ultimately says their children are actual people.

I mean if you born in Gaza your birth needs to be registered with Israel. Otherwise you will lack the necessary documents to get through the checkpoints.

Don't interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.

And the guy who leaked the tax info of the billionaires got sentenced to prison beyond the maximum threshold - because the judge explicitly wanted to make an example of him.
