US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

The fashion of the time during the civil war I think, you would leave that part open to put your hand in. I don't know exactly why.

The hiding your hand thing goes back to Greek statues. Maybe the Rob Liefield of Greek sculpture couldn't carve hands?

It was something from the Roman period, you would tuck your hand into your toga while talking, flinging your arms around wildly and other animated gestures were viewed as low class stuff, the Gracchi bothers are a good example of this thinking, Tiberius, the elder brother, tried taking the high road and did the traditional speaking poses expected of statesmen of the period, but he still got assassinated by the aristocracy led by the fucking pontifex maximus himself. The younger brother Caius would flail around and practically rip his toga apart while speaking which got the crowds into a frenzy and was viewed as a low class thing to do.

All the stuff in the 17th and 18th century is just Roma-boos copying old stuff out of context.

Latest news is McCarthy is trying to ram through a Continuing Resolution that funds the bullshit political prosecutions.
Enough posturing, motion to vacate the chair when?

How is not having hobbies a red flag to women when women seem to complain all the time about the hobbies men have? I just realized the answer -never mind.

Tbh I see women without hobbies as a red flag too so I can see the logic, even if a lot of them have retarded expectations for hobbies.
Protip for you guys - move out to the sticks, buy a truck or what is called a "side by side" and take up hunting or fishing as a hobby, you'll find the women you attract much more tolerable and you'll attract a lot of them.
You wanna go fishing for gymrat narcissists with BPD and eating disorders, go brag about what a leftie cuck you are and how much you support BLM with your six figure DEI job.
You wanna attract women who can cook your freshly killed deer into some good food and who will refresh your ammo stocks during the looming apocalypse, get one of these babies and go hang out at the local gas station in a rural county some weekend.

Ok, crashed in a training flight. That's better than I thought when they said they "lost" it. How is there not a large fire to give away the search location? How high up did he eject that they can just LOSE it?

I thought I'd seen that it was still airborne and on autopilot

Oh, it's even better. It's up there cruising on Autopilot.

You know, the new advanced AI autopilot the AF was bragging about. The one that can even refuel.

That fucker is gone until something breaks down or it decides to come home.

Odds it careens into some poor fuckers house or levels a suburb?

A stunning black independent jet that don't need no man. Gubmint tryna hunt her down n shieet.

depends on direction and when it runs out of fuel or hits a mountain etc.

america is really fucking big also surprised they dont shoot it down

Is the autopilot on those things really that good? I was always under the impression autopilot was fine for gliding etc but if you hit turbulence or anything the plane can't correct for you need to still have hands on. Either way sadly they'd only shoot it down if it was going to "land" somewhere useful like a few hundred miles north, they'd rather let it crash and take out an entire block than shoot it since they're more likely to recover it from a crash than a shoot down.

Realistically this is what will happen, but I love the highly dramatic idea of a out of control AI roaming the globe indefinitely and choosing it's targets

Ah yes, it's a "mishap", with the telemetry coming back in chinese no doubt.
That thing is no doubt halfway to beijing by now.

We've actually had working autopilots that can keep a relatively steady straight line course since WW2 thanks to gyroscopic compensation. There were also some surprisingly successful WW1-era tests to try and create propeller-driven missiles with inertial guidance (surprisingly successful as in they actually took off and kept a relatively straight course for a few minutes before inevitably crashing). That ability to tie into the existing gyroscopic autopilot is what made the Norden bombsight so innovative and useful since it meant the bombardier could fly the plane by twisting some knobs instead of needing to call out course corrections to the pilot. He obviously wouldn't be doing any fancy maneuvers like say, landing, but he could do course corrections to ensure the plane was lined up over the target.

Got to take it a step further, but what are the odds it basically got sold to some foreign power and this was the decided method to ship it over. Better to seem retarded than a national traitor.

Not quite but you are close. Consider the following:
1: Pot is currently federally illegal
2: Federal classification supersedes state
3: Legal pot states are mostly blue
4: There are a LOT of blue state politicians who smoke.

It is ass covering, just not where you think. It won't move an electoral needle but it will secure the asses of a lot of politicians if Orange Man does win. Removing a very easy pretense to fuck them over legally.

Consider this, pot is federally illegal. Many Dem states collect tax revenue from federally illegal pot sales. Many Dem governments are engaged in a criminal enterprise.

The ones on AF and Navy jets are surprisingly good. They've been experimenting with AI controls and shit according to some releases.

You know what would be hilarious?

If those rumored unmanned computer controlled refueling stations turned out to be real.

And this fucking thing just rolls up, refuels, and goes back to doing figure-8's over the Midwest.

For like fucking years.

I can just see some poor Airman on the radio going "Com'on, HAL, just come back to base. We'll load you up with an AI waifu, we promise..."

It's going to start a war isn't it, It's going to fly over Russia and drop a bomb and WW3 will start because a plane with AI got lost.

3. “I am a pretty good cook.”

You really just need this tbh.
And then just make a grilled cheese using mayonnaise to make it crunchy and dump a bunch of milk+campbells tomato soup + whipped cream+ other shit in a slow cooker.

Apparently that's a "good cook."

1,000 people is a good sample size. There's ample research showing that

Ample research from back in the days when they did true and honest random sampling and true and honest weighting of the responses because they were genuinely trying to get valid data

That stopped being their goal in the 1980s when they started pressing their thumb on the scale as hard as they could as often as they could (so, every time) to get the outcomes they wanted

I thought the other guy meants "poor sample size" as in they only surveyed people ages 18-35, without showing the demographics of their sample size aside from a vague 17 age variance.

Like say:
almost everyone of their survey takes were 18/19 but since we wanted to make the study more credible we surveyed one 35 year old. That is totally not the author in a wig. This assertion is totally not a common thing that happens cuz muh funding.

"Allegedly" got lost. It could be stolen, or it could be a false flag that no other lie can be believed.

It's in South Carolina. The F35 doesn't have remotely the range to fly from there to China.

It's going to start a war isn't it, It's going to fly over Russia and drop a bomb and WW3 will start because a plane with AI got lost.

Or to Russia.

I thought I'd seen that it was still airborne and on autopilot

The only place you've seen that is this thread. The military mentioned two lakes specifically, which makes it likely they believe the jet crashed in the water and sank.

so thing is those plane need alot of fuel it doesnt have the range to really go anywhere.

I m more curious how/why the he ejected in the first place

It'll be something mundane, like a bird strike.
