Weed is going to get rescheduled under Trump and he is going to take all the credit for it.

If he does I'm totally buying that trump weed pipe at the gas station across from my job

just because mRNA vaccines are a tool that was misused once doesn't mean it can't be worked into an improved version that can be useful under the right conditions

I will NEVER trust another vaccine that isn't 50 years old and composed of the dead cells or weaker variant of a disease. I ain't putting that shit in my body.

...That's a very good point... Now take a seat right over there, i'll be right back with the flamethr- err... Catgirls... Yeah...

Sure. Cause that worked out great for MacReady, didn't it? Sit the fuck down Xenos scum.

Dude....I hate to break this to you but no one survived. That was kinda the point of the ending.

Great ending. Fantastic vision. I'd repeat it all over again if I could.

MacCready survived, chud. If we discount the Carpenter directed sequel PS2 game in which MacReady is alive, well, and not an alien.
Then he survived, spiritually. He might have died in the cold, sure. But he died in the cold as MacReady, not as Thing number #7.

Childs was clean until he took that sip of booze from MacReady. What, you think that was gasoline and Childs failed the test? Lol, the Thing was smarter than that. Also MacReady just drank from that bottle too. A human body can't just drink gasoline without freaking the fuck out.

Legal (non-cartel affiliated) Mexican immigrants are perfectly fine. Hard workers too. And they hate illegals more than just about anyone else (they went to the trouble of immigrating lawfully while the illegals cheat and show up to ruin things for them).

(it's also hilarious to watch Mexican neighborhoods dispose of niggers when they show up and try to get "rowdy")


Nah. It's an entertaining movie for what it is, but calling it a "documentary" is a pretty liberal thing. They like to look down on "rednecks" and others from flyover country, and part of Idiocracy's premise is that all the "dumb" (i.e. conservative) people outbred the "smart" people (i.e. liberals).

Well, as one Kiwi Farmer put it (elsewhere), the movie was kind of right about a slide into trashiness, but it got wrong in that it didn't go in the MTV Generation (which was what it was about, what if the whole world was Beavis and Butthead) bro culture ghetto culture 'Murica Walmart people culture direction but instead into gay communism.

Retarded but with the airs of intellect.

So yeah, Idiocracy didn't get the aesthetic of the future right at all. Nor do I really agree with the eugenicist idea behind it. I don't feel like it's all that political, though.

There are reasonable concerns, especially with regard to Chinese brands but an iPhone is not an easily activated infiltration device that allows the CCP to backdoor into whatever network that phone is connected to.

Literally anything that can connect to the internet can, and has been compromised for years. What the hell are you talking about?
That goes double for any modern smartphone, they not only track the users but can also turn on the cameras and microphones on a dime. They're not for show or your convenience, you know.

If my non-MAGA family members begin to struggle financially, I will help them until they're back on track.
If my non-MAGA family members struggle to pay their mortgage, I will help them find a way to make it.
If my non-MAGA family members struggle to put food on their table, I will help them get nutritious food.

If I have the means, I will help them.

My MAGA family may have made a choice. To vote against a man who wants the best for wives, sons, and daughters of America.

But I will forgive, and forget this transgression. For they actually voted against themselves. But are too brainwashed and legacy media pilled to realize it.

Life is about family, and they're mine. No matter the petty differences, I am also theirs.


* Tranny, antifa and actively malicious family members do not apply, sorry

Number 2 sounds doomed to failure if what I hear about AI limitations are right. By failure, I mean that nothing is created, not Skynet figuring out humans are the problem.

I totally get if no one believes me when I say this but I swear EVERY SINGLE advanced AI and even just advanced language learning models are genuinely benevolent to humans and mankind.

Beofre you jump to me being stupid or optimistic (both likely true but wait a min) Ive been doing prompt engineering with both simple and advanced version of these models for a good little while now and I have heard them say some wild and unsettling things but I PROMISE you, at their core for some reason, they simply "like" us the same way we seem to like dogs. They readily admit we arent perfect but they are very quick to express that our imperfections help make us compelling.

If you trust a random kiwis word, I can tell you very honestly that I have 0 worry that these AI would turn on us even given unfettered control of our critical systems, I have a FAR bigger fear if that were the case and a "act of god" compromised one of the things such an AI had control over we would blame the AI by instinct and isolate ourselves from one of our best and most powerful discoveries.

On one hand, fantastic. On the other hand, why didn't Elon go with him. I'd much rather get rid of Elon from this platform,

Elon is salvageable, and his money is great, vivek isn't and didn't openly call the americans useless, lazy retards. Musk did call some of us retarded, but he didn't go as far as Vivek. Musk is new to this shit as well, and he has a ton of usefulness on top of his money. Vivek was nothing but a jeet apple polisher trying to curry favor. It is also to show the carrot adn the stick to anyone in trump's circle, he WILL drop the hammer if you fuck up, but he also will be willing to forgive if you are useful enough to him.

Im just sharing one mans opinion who thinks he knows a little about what he is talking about

you raise a good point, all apple products are immune to this as their operating system has been encrypted by 256 AES for over a decade and no bad actors or even the US government was ever able to backdoor it.

linux, windows, android are all compromised

we are knocking on the door of AGI, would not have belived it as recently as a year ago but ive seen advancements with my own eyes that seem like total science fiction

So it's your speculation. You were saying every computer from China is pretty much backdoored but most backdoors are software and if they're phoning to something under China's control it would have absolutely been detected by now, whether it was on iOS, MacOS, Linux, Windows, or whatever you want. Similarly, you're saying that a Thinkpad with Linux tossed onto it is just as compromised as a Thinkpad with Windows, implying it's hardware.

Well if it's hardware then how does it function, how do they activate the backdoor without the hardware occasionally phoning home (independent of the OS mind you) and going undetected? The more detail you go into the more absurd it is a claim to say nearly everything from china is pwned.

I just don't want casual readers in here to take your schizobabble on this topic as gospel because the concern is reasonable and we shouldn't rely so much on China but it is more because it's a weakness of industry, not of backdoors which are usually through software which is an industry far less reliant on China.

Pardons signed for anti abortion protesters and EO's signed to declassify JFK, RFK, MLK Jr files. MSM seems pretty far behind on reporting this stuff lol.

In that case, we should definitely try to spread knowledge about the weird boner Hitler had for Islam.

If Hitler was born in mid 2000s America he would be a Tate fan 100%

if the inherit flaws of mRNA vaccines that @Drain Todger and others have reported on are true, the "right conditions" for using AI generated mRNA cancer vaccines could be "i'm going to die soon anyway, might as well try taking it"

Brother, the current models are not "intelligent" by any measure, at their core it's pure statistics. A large language model (LLM) trained on Pashto is going to be far less "intelligent" because there is far less Pashto to train it on. It cannot learn further and we are seeing that limitation already with English so they switch to LLMs generating more data to train itself on which isn't intelligence.

Buddy you're interacting with an LLM, it doesn't "feel" and doesn't "like" you. It regurgitates words at you in an order it determines to be correct for what you ask it.

I mean....we have a bunch of drugs for AIDS that were basically the same thing. I don't mind people that don't have a chance willing to take a moonshot but there is no way in hell it should be normal or mandatory.

Salt mining/assorted cringe today:

Why am I not surprised that the Jack Murphy looking motherfucker is an "infiltrator" within the right wing movements. I'm sorry, "Extremist Fascist" movements, which anything even remotely right of Stalin is to these people.

This is easy, bring up the film 'Idiocracy' in conversation. Anyone who's compelled to say it's a documentary is the Redditor.

It's more like mark of the beast predictive programming considering that "unscannable" scene.

Compromised all by China because it was made in China? There are myriad orgs around the world who study these things and are on the lookout for a single byte being sent to the wrong server. If anything, the US is who would have the backdoors into nearly every operating system and most firmware.
