  • Alex Jones Thinks Trump Has Gone Too Far

    Jump

  • Well obviously Fuentes thinks the Trump admin has gone too far. Trump is deporting people for being critical of Israel, and Fuentes really fucking hates Jews. He hates Muslims too, but he hates Jews waaaay more.

  • Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI | The Verge

  • So if they're using a ChatGPT wrapper to teach me languages, why do I need Duolingo? Copilot is free.

  • They had those massive tubes of sweets like Notch had in his mansion. They tend to melt into eachother over time, especially if exposed to the sun.

  • Sweet shop right next to my old college. Never once saw anyone go in, it was never open, yet always fully stocked.

  • Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!

  • Makes sense when you consider that Yandex is owned by a Russian oligarch, and Google has been fined more money than exists in Russia.

  • Honest mistake

  • The self-checkout at Aldi is a godsend. Way too many times I've been on my lunch break trying to buy a sandwich and snack, only for some old git to be using the time at the till to have a chinwag with the cashier!

    By all means, have a chat with the cashier, but not when there's a massive queue of people waiting behind you! Also, you know those shelves near the window with the sign saying "Pack here"? That's not a suggestion. Pack your shopping away from the tills so people can keep buying stuff.

  • Not always immorally. Sometimes they kill Russians (soldiers).

  • Bombs are going to be used to kill civilians anyway. Would you rather their deaths be intentional or accidental? Either way a bomb is going to go off, the best you can do is ensure the bomb hits where the person dropping it intended. That way, if it's a civilian, the person dropping the bomb has no deniability because they hit exactly what they intended to hit.

  • If I worked for a defence contractor, I would make the most accurate weapons in the world. Why? Because when the people who fired those weapons are up in court and they go "Oh well I didn't MEAN to hit that hospital, the bomb just didn't hit its intended target", the prosecutor can go "Nonsense! Those are the most accurate weapons in the world. They ONLY hit what you intended to hit with as much force as you wanted to hit it with!".

    The weapons are gonna get built, I'd rather there be no ambiguity in how they get used. It's not like WW2 where Bomber Command was like "Here's the dockyards we want to blow up, and a bajillion tonnes of bombs to blow it up with", and then the bombers flatten half a city just trying to hit the docks and miss every single time because it's cloudy, or hit an entirely different city because they got lost on the way!. You only have to look at Russia's "throw enough artillery shells at the area until it's completely flat" approach to war to know what happens when you haven't got precision munitions, or not enough of them.

  • Sensitivity and fellowship, yet my (former) friend who is a big stoner has gone all-in on conspiracy theories and is championing the Reform party in the UK because Labour are apparently race traitors. Guess weed can't do all the lifting.

  • Well... Until you get someone like Trump in charge and he decides that the stipend only goes to those that praise him and strips the stipend from anyone critical of him or his ideology.

  • If you only funded drugs through public funding, that means the government has a say in what drugs get funded and which don't, meaning any and all drugs that don't affect the broadest number of people simply won't get funded.

    Drugs will no longer be for all people, it'll be strictly the people that vote for the government in charge. So... No hormone treatments, no birth control, no vaccines, no aids research, nothing that doesn't explicitly align with the government.

  • We're cooked y'all 🤣

  • You're hiring junior programmers for $145k a year? Americans have too much money, I swear. The rest of the world has juniors on less than a third of that if they're in Europe.

  • You'd think you could have doubled down on the joke and revealed that the person on the other end of the phone wasn't actually a person at all, it was an AI.

  • Yeah but Ælfwine got there by accident, and wasn't escorted by elves.

  • It's neither, it's the Will of Eru Illuvatar that determines whether you can travel the Straight Road or not. Ælfwine travelled the Straight Road and landed at Tol Eressëa in 869AD after fleeing the Danes, and he was a Man, not an Elf.

  • Violence

  • A more accurate morality would be "Violence should never be the first course of action".

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

  • If you're a juror and you vote guilty, knowing that the person you're voting guilty for will be executed, if they are later found not guilty, your head should be next on the chopping block.

    I am fundamentally against the death penalty. It is not a power the government should ever have.
