it's almost as if he's just a fucking con artist like everyone's been saying for the past ten fucking years? (that said I'm glad you're dissatisfied, Trump's biggest enemy is himself. He's too retarded to be an actual dictator)
american politics pre trump was a violin scam

i would rather just refuse to engage in the system and knock it over. trump is knocking over the game table
 
Please shut the actual fuck up as if I would've ever voted otherwise against Harris, Biden, or Clinton.

You are actually fucking retarded.

I voted for someone who wasn't entropy incarnate. I do not regret that decision. I do regret that people like you continue to persist in your disgusting, arrogant ignorance of reality, logic, and realpolitik.
whatever sense of logic and reality you may ever have possessed is long gone friendo, drowned in a sea of intellectual sloth, schizophrenic takes and kremlin slopaganda. I know you'll defend your darling dotard to your dying breath but nice knowing you're dissatisfied.

The problem with "AI" (it is not an AI, it is a very complex chatbot) is it doesn't grasp context and training it to understand context is really hard without giving it a huge environment to play in. Even with all the racist shit aside, Tay was probably the closest humans ever got to doing this, but its creators were too pozzed to learn anything from that experiment.
 
But not going made people into Canadians

@quaawaa as far as I’m aware, a LOT of office jobs are 90%+ “import data to excel sheet, write email.”
The key step that everyone forgets is, 99% of the time, the "Data" imported is full of garbage that a human has to weed out first. If some sort of AI automation were to do this, a large swath of corporate america would have to reckon with the fact that their 1/4 million dollar data systems are mostly filled with garbage input done by garbage humans to begin with.
 
I was a teenager in the 90’s, before the earth had seen homos wearing earplugs to concerts and before a lot of modern safety culture ruined everything. I also almost never had hearing protection when I’d go shooting with my dad. Maybe if I was wearing a beanie, I’d pull it down over my ears

My tinnitus levels are like, maybe every other month I’ll hear a tone for about thirty seconds, on average

I don’t even know what’s meant by “faulty earplugs.” It was little chunks of foam you stick in your ears, right?
The testing was flawed and when they corrected for it they found that the ratings weren’t what they were supposed to be. There was no direct evidence that the ear plugs were ineffective or caused tinnitus.

In fact, there’s no real evidence that sound causes permanent hearing loss or tinnitus at all other than correlations. I remain skeptical and I believe that there are two components to tinnitus: one is that everyone has it to a small degree and that people, especially musicians, learn to pick up on it as they get older. The other is that there is a physical manifestation that creates sounds in the ear triggered by jaw position, blood flow, etc. I believe caffeine is one such trigger.

I have tinnitus, muscular tinnitus, and brief episodes of deafness in a single ear. All three are more likely to occur when I drink caffeine or when I lack sleep.

yeah i should have been just bent over by two parties interested in maintaining a system that leads to the rape of america

what a violin scam is:

One of a pair of con artists, posing as a retired violinist, leaves his precious violin as collateral against some small debt while he goes and fetches the cash. While he's gone, the other con man presents himself to the mark as an instrument dealer — business card and everything. He wants to have a look at the violin he saw in passing, and as soon as it's produced, he's delighted — as he thought, it's an original Stradivarius! It's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! He must have it, but he has a plane to catch and can't wait for the old man to return — Dear sir, would you please give him my business card?

Now the mark's greed comes in. If he's a good man, he gives the old violinist his instrument and informs him of his good fortune, and the scam has failed (the cons have lost nothing, however). If he's a lowlife, however, the scam may succeed. He offers the old man a thousand dollars for his violin — the old man clearly has no idea of its actual value, but loves it like a family member. The price goes up and up, and eventually the con artist gives in, selling his beloved violin for ten thousand dollars. He walks out with the money, and the new owner waits a bit, then calls the number on the card. It's a false number, of course, and any professional will immediately recognize that the violin is worth perhaps fifty dollars, and the old man and the "dealer" meet up to split the take and get another cheap violin.

for example. look at abortion as the violin analogy. dems and republicans used abortion to fundraise and generate hype while working together to make sure that nothing of substance would happen so that they could eternally use the issue.

trump destroyed that issue by appointing ACB and then SCOTUS killed the issue

Ah perfect, a tranny.

Say, lil tranny, what would that kremlin propaganda be, exactly? Do provide examples for us to browse.
 
Besides that how is China going to impose it? The airline industry for example requires pilots and ATC operators to speak and understand English around the world. You think American ATCs are going to learn Chinese or is America going to flex it's influence to keep it English?
And the main reason for this (which is also why Chinese is inadequate for business) is due to the fact that Chinese, like many Asian languages is hierarchical in nature and leads to dumb shit happening like easily avoidable plane crashes.

Republican Presidents appoints Republican judge, yeah that's really shaking up the system

Overturning Roe was a GOP fantasy for 30 years, Trump appointed the justices but the same thing would've happened if it was fucking Jeb in the White House

I also don't think the Dobbs decision was necessarily even a part of Trump's agenda. He'll pander the base about the evil wokes killing babies or whatever but even he's smart enough to know it would hurt them in the midterms

The problem here is that you guys are holding AI to the standard you THINK represents humanity.

It took me a long time to adjust my expectations and stop projecting myself onto npc’s. You just basically assume that everyone you interact with functions roughly about as well as you function, and can troubleshoot things and make them work.

I promise, you go to the DMV and there’s one person there capable of assisting when you have something unusual. For me, it was that I moved to another state and moved back later. Instead of reactivating my old license number, they made a new entry that conflicted with my deactivated one. It took weeks to get in touch with the one person in the DMV who could process theoretical frameworks to even formulate a guess at what could cause the problem they were having

Meanwhile I kept getting threatening letters about my license being suspended
 
Man, protesters used to have balls. These are some seriously weak displays of "defiance." These cops are in plainclothes and clearly unimpressed with the dipshits shouting "pig" at them.

May they all (the protesters that is) pass away from uncomfortable sexually transmitted infections. They don't deserve any kind of "martyrdom."
I don't get why don't they bumrush the dude being arrested tbh. 20 cops to 30~ protestors?
