This is a great satirical account, but the question of whether outer space above a country is owned by that country is actually a very interesting chapter in Space Law.

Remember back when the Matrix came out and we all laughed at the idea that “coding” looked like watching a bunch of glyphs pour across your screen

POV: you solved her problem instead of just listening to her tell you about how the problem made her feel

The bar for computer security has never been lower. Well, maybe Windows 98 was lower, but this is still pretty low.

this happens in the horror industry about once every ten years or so and I can promise you they’re going to learn the absolute worst lessons from it.

I just want to know why there is still zero accountability for the bafoons who built 35 of these aluminum junk ships!? Why did we decommission our minesweepers when this LCS crap isn’t ready?? Why are we still naming a ship after Obama’s SECNAV who authorized it? Why is a ship specifically designed to fight Iran useless against Iran? If it can’t fight a nation with no navy, how the hell can it possibly fight China? Why does the USNA LCS page still have this photo of it shooting a missile when that capability was removed? Why did it take TWENTY years after the first was built to get a mine-hunting package aboard? Why aren’t these flooding the Strait of Hormuz right now? Why are we STILL building these junks while also decommissioning them because they suck? Why haven’t we taken every single one offshore and sunk them? Why does every Admiral I talk to lie to me and claim they work great? If they work so great why aren’t they flooding Hormuz right now?? Why hasn’t a single person been fired yet?? Why doesn’t this administration care about accountability? WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY @SecWar

This gets posted every six months. Why? Because weed addicts can’t form long term memories lmao

I feel like I had a subconscious grasp of this but never saw it spelled out so clearly: in America, the greatest insult is "loser" but in a lot of other countries, it's "sucker". x.com/i/grok/share/bd3688b1c…

I was making potato soup last night. The recipe called for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

So I have a (mostly) useless degree in film theory and my personal concentration was National cinema. Meaning the study of how a racial/ethnic group represents themselves, their history, present and future through the artistic medium of film. You will find that every single race of people on earth represent reality differently through film. The essence of that difference is found in the people themselves and what makes them, them. The racial spirit of a people is illustrated through their use of film making and visual storytelling in such a manner that a Bollywood film and a Korean film are so different in the manner of their storytelling, character development, camera techniques etc they might as well be from different planets. My favourite example of this is how Irish cinema is known for its dark, often crude, tragic comedy which mirrors the spirit of the Irish and their history perfectly. French cinema also intertwines deep philosophical ideas with ordinary everyday life and often uses rebellious and bold storytelling/camera techniques. Very in alignment with the French spirit. These distinct artistic differences give visual representation to the distinct differences between the racial spirit of people. What’s even more important though is that the artistic medium of film is in effect a form of collective dreaming. One steps into the theatre, sits back in a comfy seat, the lights dim, the screen illuminates and we experience the film itself in a similar fashion as we would a dream. The cinema provided the enthralling and thrilling experience of a new reality where anything could be possible. Where we could be reminded of who we are and we could imagine who we might be but for the first time as a shared experience. And what are dreams if not the deep internal world which inspires the creation and building of the external material world. Most people think of movies as just entertainment but in reality it is so much more than that. It is programming, guided dreaming and identity creating on the societal scale. What a people dream and feel about themselves internally they become in a sense. This is why these race swapped roles in historical dramas are not merely superficial and are in effect evil. It takes a historical figure, their contribution to the spirit of their race and thus a national identity and transgresses upon it by corrupting the image as belonging to anyone, everyone and therefore no one. It is stolen valour. It is the highest form of cultural erasure in art, it is history rewriting in pursuit of identity destruction. Not surprisingly it is something we exclusively see in roles which rightfully belong to whites. It is the explicit propaganda arm of white replacement. It aims to make us forget who we are, induce a form of collective amnesia about our history and ultimately erase from all future memory the truth of our ancestors heroics and bravery.

“This is why I think the AI question cannot be separated from the institutional and economic conditions in which students are now learning. Yes, AI can become cognitive surrender. Yes, it can allow students to bypass the difficult work that produces durable learning. But in many contemporary educational settings, the student has already been abandoned before the chatbot appears.”

This is the cyberpunk future I was promised.

These are the people who argue that the Second Amendment protects the rights of militias.
