Because of mating and random errors

Death in any age is inevitable.

I also like this saying, though one might counterclaim they are physical in several significant ways. Shadows block light and have a lower temperature than their surroundings. This changes the way air moves. This changes moisture levels and micro humidity. That creates an attraction effect pulling air toward it from more illuminated non-shadowed areas. There’s a temperature gradient radiating from cool to warm from center of the shadow outward. The undulation of that heat creates disturbances in the local atmosphere and intensifies the dancing blur along the boundary between light and dark. /poetic_license We fly airplanes and helicopters and gliders and parachutes and squirrel suits with our mind already. Far more effective than the rugs, and same thing enabling it.

AI makes it easier for more people, a double whammy in terms of adding slop and noise in a world where bad actors each day use ever improving tools to amplify specific parts of it for personal gain. Multiple platforms offer admins a config setting to enable auto-ban/suspension of accounts and/or threads once a certain threshold gets crossed and a specific number of reports (say 2 or 3) have come in from other members. Perhaps that is what npts had in mind when asking, curious if that’s possible here. A question for Cap’n, I know. ETA: It wouldn’t surprise me if engineers were using sites like these to test and train their agents, or even AI coding agents already coding bits and agents of their own.

False dichotomy. Those aren’t mutually exclusive 😝

Gosh… who are all those folks in the US with such tiny 2500 sq.ft. houses? 😂 It’s a shame they used average instead of median

Ni che le ma?

That’s certainly one opinion. I’m inclined to believe the folks in my national security and defense focused feeds though. Time will tell. Some, in fact, would. Market pressures are complex. Most invaders recognize that’s not true, but proceed because they don’t care and are focused on alternative objectives. Actually, many would and already have. Elections too are complex.

Well, I’ll give him this. We’re not talking about Epstein anymore Females in Salem, Massachusetts wondered the same thing 323 years ago

The more appropriate framing IMO is that what’s happening with Russia in Ukraine is a significant factor around timing and planning for China to invade Taiwan (oops, sorry… I meant “reunify”). Ukraine is both a distraction and also a clear example of the fecklessness of the west and the US more specifically. It reminds everyone of how neither are able to stop them nor act in ways that deliver meaningful punishment (something beyond a slap on the wrist). It’s also a good way to ally the 2 powers against the US. A Russia backed by China in Ukraine and a China backed by Russia in Taiwan are a much stronger force with which to contend, one not so easily stopped by the US. Cooperation between China and Russia should remind us of the ties between Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in WWII. There are clear benefits to both when aligning.

I do. Done. What next?

We’re not making any friends among the staff for saying so, but agree completely

Nobody. It’s a numbers game for him. Russia has already lost approximately 200,000 troops in Ukraine and he keeps sending more. They’re dispensable.

Next-Gen McCarthyism, on steroids. They’re not just challenging the 1st amendment but actively pushing every lever of power they have to bully the system into total compliance. If you’re not 100% with them you’re the enemy. You misspelled every day He wasn’t even making fun of Kirk. He repeatedly said this is horrible and should never have happened and how horrible it is for his family. What he did was highlight how hard Trump and MAGA were working to suggest the shooter wasn’t one of them and how they were using it as a Reichstag event… many on the right actively acknowledging it as such an event directly themselves in their posts trying to whip up a rage against “the left.”

Or, like trump does with the constitution, he’s pushing boundaries (literally and rhetorically) to do whatever he wants since nobody can stop him… at least not with sanctions and sternly worded letters

Is this an essay submission?

Many do, but perhaps not as many here

All good. Thank you for coming back to it tho. Appreciated.

The router is the bigger problem and most people are being directed to cheaper models that don’t perform. The pro version is crushing it, at least in the coding space.

They’re already claiming states of emergency for bullshit things like potato chips are too delicious. They’re already extracting people into foreign prisons without due process, including citizens with “guaranteed” rights and paying no penalty for ignoring court rulings to reverse. They’re already normalizing having military on the streets to enforce the whims of the administration. They’re already normalizing the idea of killing people found “guilty” of their false accusations and having militia style gangs scoop people up off the streets without a warrant or charge or even an uncovered face. They’re already using pay to play to take over industry and already punishing harshly all dissent. Their riots are exactly what are needed to reverse these trends, yet paradoxically will be used to amplify them. This gets worse for a long while before we see something better. The globalization and saturation of propaganda and PsyOps only intensifies and accelerates it. I think Rob Sand (the ONLY democrat to win statewide office in the last cycle, specifically for auditor) has a decent shot at the governors office. He’s a smart decent guy though, so voters will surely reject him despite being a hunter and fiscal conservative.
