Lmfao what a vapid, petty tool.

I look forward to Mamdani signing some orders to revoke those orders.

Or better yet: replace references to Israel with “Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, or any other ethnicity” (maybe enumerating the ethnicities, which would be pointedly amusing, but also equitable and correct)

Vibe coding as a practice needs to be burned at the stake. It’s actively terrible, in a lot of ways - some subtle, some obvious.

ML can and does do some incredible things. LLMs are not in that category.

Also, vid/imagegen needs to die in a fire, because holy fuck is it caustic to society at an insanely broad level.

lol wow, just leaning further into the whole “FIFA is run by absolute fucking psychos” narrative I guess…

It’s insane that we defined a bunch of the things he and his circle are saying as “white supremacist stuff” back in the decades following the civil rights era, and now I guess we’ve decided as a society that that’s just an okay thing again?

I want off this ride, it’s not fun anymore :(

I deeply fucking hope the DNC doesn’t tap him like they tapped Hillary and Biden. Newsom is a corporatist neoliberal who’s simply opportunistically bandwagoning on public hostility towards orangeboi.

Move that decimal point to the right once or twice if you want Phony Stark to meaningfully react, because this is just a slap on the wrist.

Right? I genuinely do not understand the desire to be famous. Like, it just does not compute for me and my personality.

The “kill switch” is the logistics pipeline.

Look at Iran and their purchase and use of F-14s that we sold them before friendship ended. We (arguably) prematurely halted development and use of that airframe, and destroyed the aircraft when they were decommissioned instead of mothballing them, so that they would not be able to be used at spare parts. That’s the example case to compare against here. Granted, the situation and specifics are different, but there are still enough similarities to be a valid comparison point .

Is PragerU in on that action? Because they horrify me, and it’s also exactly what I’d expect them to do.

 

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
