  • The Men Who Spend Hours Talking to Porn Bots— “It’s just nice to feel heard.”

  • Probably similar to anyone having a conversation where they ignore the “red flags” of a potential partner. Someone drinking too much, an offhand remark about bad debt, stuff like that. Except now you ignore the response that might be a non sequitur, repetitive, or just not make sense.

  • Why are churches in Europe almost always built on top of Pagan ritual sites?

  • White House Refers To Trump As King In Photo With King Charles

  • Trump doesn’t lie about what he wants to do. Wants to call it the Department of War because that’s what he wants to do. He absolutely wants to: bomb the shit out of Iran, cancel elections, deport citizens/cancel citizenship, etc.

    However, he always lies about his accomplishments. He hasn’t won any wars. He isn’t negotiating great deals with Iran. He isn’t keeping gas prices low. He hasn’t made a great economy. Etc.

  • America Trembles as Transportation Secretary Announces Plans for Air Traffic Controllers to Lean on AI Tools

  • Ah, the blameless AI got people killed. Sue the company, then whittle it down because no raindrop programmer was responsible for the flood that killed hundreds, then wait for people to give up in appeals while the lawyers get rich.

  • Pretty much the same plan as the Republicans, right? They were all about burning it down but plenty of them are arriving at the “Dude!” stage.

  • Palantir employees are talking about company's "descent into fascism"

    “Descent” sounds passive.

    Still collecting that paycheck and not rocking the boat.

  • I’m sure they’re the same self-centered people exiting the burning aircraft with their carry-on bags.

  • Wrong on all counts.

    You have no clue how little some people fly, and some may only fly a few times in a lifetime. The safety briefing is for them, not jaded geniuses that don’t count the seat rows to the nearest emergency exit.

  • You knew this. Just imagine the tiger with slit pupils and your brain will “wtf”. Same with panthers, lions, snow leopards, mountain lions…

  • Trump's 'gold card' visa starting at $1 million granted to just 1 person so far, White House says

    Jump

  • Just someone looking to exploit Americans for more money.

  • Trump slammed as "a wolf in sheep clothing" (IMHO, the "sheep clothing" looks pretty wolfy)

  • The sheep outfit was the Emperor’s New Clothes. It only existed for those who wanted to believe in it.

  • You’re conflating two things. One is GPS, which is designed to stop functioning above 1,000 knots to prevent it from being used in a missile.

    The other is the interference of which I spoke having to do with electronics like cellphones that operate at harmonics that overlay frequencies used by aircraft navigation systems. It can be demonstrated that they do indeed interfere, but so many things have to happen to make the interference happen it’s wildly unlikely. So many things have changed over the years that prevent this from happening, like cellphones operate at lower power, personal electronics are better shielded, and operate at lower power. On top of that, the aircraft’s RF and EM shielding would have to be damaged in just the right spot, and the electronic device would have to be right near the damage.

    As far as cell towers go, most phones are too weak to make a good connection from all but the lowest altitudes, and you’re moving fast enough that it can’t handshake the next tower and negotiate the connection quick enough to have a good connection except maybe st the slowest speeds and altitude on approach for landing.

    I did a minor study on this exact subject, but it’s been decades, so the details are fuzzy.
