What excuse do they need? They could just do it now if they want. Killing random civilians isn’t going to give them the popular support to maintain martial law. They’re fucked in that regard either way.

I suspect there will be a new rotating villain to vote for it.

Anyone got the VOD of this dating show stream? I’d be interested in seeing it.

My understanding is that its very energy intensive and thats where the economic pressure happens. Cheap (and clean) power makes it viable.

Thanks. Deployed. Works great.

Yes.

About X being a toxic platform. My point was about UK censorship and isolation.

Wild assumption, my dude.

Yeah that’s No Good™. We should let the UK do what it wants.

Who cares, let the UK isolate more. Maybe blocking X is a good thing, I’m not wading into that conversation. But broadly the UK is clamping down on their Internet, so maybe they should just go full Great Chinese Firewall and get it over with. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hypocrisy does not bother these people. In fact, it’s a good thing to them if it annoys you. They believe in nothing.

If the US takes Greenland, I fear that NATO will be effectively dissolved. Denmark probably invokes Article 5… does anyone come to their aid against the US? Seems unlikely. If they do, let’s be real here, the US will just acquire new colonies. Either way, NATO means next to nothing; total Russian victory. Russia gets to sabotage/colonize western and then eastern Europe, and China gets Taiwan (if they feel like calling the US’s bluff) and whatever else they want. The only truly sovereign countries left will be the ones with a hefty nuclear arsenal.

I dunno man, they’ll just make something new up.

Yeah, it’ll have to be done eventually. I’m ok with this. I don’t trust his intentions, but the result of getting rid of it will be good for us in the long run, I think.

Truly amazing that this not only took off as a meme, but somehow remained popular all these years later.

Yeah, ok. Not sure I really buy that. Seems like the kind of administration that would just say stuff and pin the blame on anyone just to say they got the perp. Convenient that the guy is already dead with no trial needed.

Gonna take this opportunity to be a corporate shill and praise my Kia EV6. They really nailed the layout of the dash. It’s a good blend of digital and physical. Hope more manufacturers learn from them.

Sounds like you’re asking the human brain to fire in a pattern it’s not even wired for. Random noise in the web, or even definitionally impossible as “totally alien” might imply a configuration of neurons opposite of what we have. I feel like I’m having a hard time describing my thought here.

I dunno, I think some of these look pretty good. (via https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/)
