Clearly Mike Johnson works for Elon and Theil, not We The People.

Their whole thing does have the common theme of decentralizing and throwing as much as possible back to the states. Which includes funding.

Long game it does set it up for oligarchs (even more so) while projecting an impression of leaving the republic or whatever intact.

In addition to what you all are saying about not being so blatant about creating your own voter fraud.

That said, I can’t imagine there not being individual bad players peppered throughout the postal service. Use your drop boxes and not the mail box for returns.

Search bots that have ingested speech patterns. Psycholinguistics is traceable down to codons, sure, but the meaning and nuance is lost. Lewis Carroll is probably LLM kryptonite, for example.

AI is a PR pick for a name. A name to lure in investors. It attributes so much more to the bots and invokes curiosity in everyone around it. Versus language bot or some other not so sexy name.

I’m still convinced this started out as a yacht race. And now it’s rolling downhill with a fuckton of force such that no one is stepping in the way.

FFS. He’s really going hard on this Fascist narcissist vibe.

Ok. I’m going to be sorry I asked this, but, arch? (Not Linux, the Trump thing.)

This admin is the most thin skinned set of man-babies I’ve ever witnessed in office.

Mass effect is 19 years old.

That is part of the purpose behind the original anti vax campaign, to undermine a fundamentally long term accepted science. It’s a foot in the door for overturning anything “proven” by academia/science, in addition to being a learning course.

Just the other day, I was listening to a (maga) gentlemen tell me that he’s steering clear of Tylenol because it’s unsafe. He’ll only take acetaminophen. (I told him, he did not care. In his mind, they are two different meds).

So the original intent is working. The principle of the anti vax push is now imbued in American society. Canada too, now, sadly. I recently read about another measles outbreak up there.

It still didn’t make sense.

I knew healthcare was the main testing ground for vaccines. It made sense. Someone had to go first. It also made sense to deliver it asap. Staff was bleeding out of hospitals. Staff did die. Some cases of workers surviving only to find themselves widows or widowers because they brought it home, near the beginning. I think a lot more staff would’ve left and simply waited it out at home if not for the vaccine. The vaccine kept hospitals open imo.

But sure. Bill Gates nanobots in a shot! That one was my favorite.

The attitude was off the charts odd.

People yelled. People refused to wear masks. People (non-patients) were hauled out of emergency rooms by security. People accused healthcare of lying about diagnoses. People accused healthcare of being paid off to lie about all covid diagnoses (by whom is far less clear). People went so far as to tear breathing apparatuses off the “loved” one it was helping breathe. People won the country a full hospital ban on visitors that didn’t fully go away until very recently. People died of covid or covid complications and their own people still didn’t believe Covid existed.

And why? Because they didn’t want to wear a mask? Because they didn’t want to stay home from work when sick? (Remember, everyone mostly dosed themselves with cold medicine and then took their crud into work, infecting everyone, in before times.)

There’s The Money, and then there’s everyone else.

At this point though, they’re even taking art away from us. They’re not making anything though, only manufacturing trash into giant piles.

End game? No one knows. Not even them.

Like that would ever happen.

This should be a web site or YT channel. How to remove such bits without bricking the item.

Once again I’m reminded of Season 1 of Black Mirror. Second episode? Worker drone is “home”, “relaxing” in his sleep cubby and the walls are a barrage of ads. Occasionally he taps to pay credits to shut one down as the rest continue, as casual as anyone scrolling in boredom.

Or a shut down golden retriever in those old, now illegal learned helplessness experiments.

We’re fully Linux now, various distros per machine, so I no longer pay much attention to windows news.

I was at my parent’s house, trying to add some items to the smart TV. They started listening to these awful AI interpersonal dramas read by AI, on YouTube.

My thought was to add some podcasts and their Audible account, for more selections. Maybe they’ll still only listen to that, even so. You can’t add much to a smart tv. No podcasts. No podcast app. A pretty spartan selection of apps. Even something as large and mainstream as Audible. No go. Libby? Yeah, right.

I don’t get it. What’s the point? Just buy a monitor, jack it into a PC for media, and have everything you want minus this telemetry.

I think the main issue is most people don’t know Google is an ad optimization company. If you say it, the reaction is most often thinking you’re jabbing at them, with reason, but that the statement isn’t the base reality.

I had this borderline nightmare thought of people creating gold and silver bars out of historical finds if they didn’t. Good law.

Does this man get paid for any of this find or does a museum collect it and that’s that?
