Strong disagree. There’s no reason why sufficiently advanced AI couldn’t replace brain function. Note this is ACTUAL AI, not LLMs, which are not intelligence in any way, shape, or form.

Agreed, but so is Q.

Absolutely. But it’s illegitimate nonetheless. They have neither the legal nor moral right to murder people, only the means to get away with it.

Everquest memory unlocked.

Should the Senate approve the measure, it will need to pass the House and be signed by Trump.

No way there will be enough Republicans in Congress to make it veto-proof.

If you have any relatives buried there, might want to check on them.

He unironically would be a much better one than the one we have now.

That one could at least be explained by 9/11 “patriotism.” Still stupid, though.

The 2024 election in particular has shown that we have a LOT of really fucking stupid people here.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

We’re a great cautionary tale! Not that other countries seem to be paying attention, going by the rise of far-right people in governments.

Star Wars tried for a scientific explanation for the Force, too, with midichlorians.

He is, because they don’t understand the character. This is a common theme with them.

Nor will they ever. If we ever get to a Nazi-purging stage Trump will be long gone by then.

Yup, it’s an immediate red flag that you’re dealing with propaganda rather than actual reporting. So gross to see official US government statements being written like a 4chan post. So it goes with fascists.

It so damn stupid. This is the same problem we humans have had to deal with over and over again all through history, and we walked right into it AGAIN. American apathy gets a lot of the blame, of course. but so do other country’s governments for continuing to treat the US government as civilized and legitimate when it clearly isn’t.

No, they’re not. They can get away with it, yes, but they absolutely have no right.

A “big discount” which placed it around the price it launched at.

(Ex) Nintendo fan here. I’ve owned every Nintendo console and handheld since the NES (even the Virtual Boy!) Right after the Switch 2 announcement in April I got a Steam Deck and never looked back, and I love the thing. The list of cons for the Switch 2 is immense - the price of the hardware, the price of the software, Nintendo’s extreme anti-consumer practices…in the past, Nintendo at least had cheap hardware going for it. No longer. The list of Switch 2 exclusive games, both released and announced, I’d even want to play is also minuscule. Mario Kart World (which doesn’t look even remotely worth $80) and Donkey Kong Bananza are it so far. I thought it would be difficult to not be able to play new Nintendo games, but they’ve made it extremely easy so far. I’m good with either never playing them or playing them emulated many years from now. It’s very clear that Nintendo has become just another soulless corporate game company.
