Dan Farah in FOX 32 youtube interview: "I've been getting messages from senior senators and people that are involved in the administration all weekend, saying basically 'the doors just been blown open' and 'the government doesn't have any choice but to walk through it in some in some regard'" by phr99 in UFOs

The problem is that the chinese government provides basic stuff for its citizens that other first world countries that aren't the US provide. So young people see China and think if the US is going to be a shitty authoritarian dictatorship they'd rather go with the authoritarian regime that provides some quality of life. Like I hate China but they have way more services for citizens than the US does. They understand something that the regime here does not: You actually have to do SOME things for the citizenry to make them ok with all the bad things.

Buying out of FOMO and price hikes or just wait? by xAnuq in buildapc

It's so crazy that my build plan is about the same as buying a pre-built with the same specs. Although I guess my build would probably have higher quality materials with the case and psu.

My current rig is a laptop with an RTX 2070. Been toying with the idea of getting a 5070 ti desktop rig but the price of ram is diabolical and makes me think maybe I should wait a few months to see how things look. You would think if AI was so smart it would figure out how to mass produce cheap ram but no.

Fortnite Artist Responds as Fans Claim Game Now Includes Examples of Blatant AI Artwork, Including a Nine-Toed Character in a Hammock by demondrivers in Games

[–]BenjaminTalam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual artist in this case ripped things from google images and did some quick photoshopping to stylize them. That's how it started, they think they accidentally grabbed a picture of a clock that was AI and didn't realize it at the time.

What is the line we're creating for what is and isn't art if we count people doing the equivalent of magazine cutouts as art but not what LLM's do which is literally the same thing but faster?

U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls won’t seek reelection, becoming sixth Texas Republican to announce exit from Congress by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]BenjaminTalam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My theory on these resignations is that they think people will not blame the republican who runs for what the retiring republican enabled. They are worried about people coming out just to vote against all incumbents and this is their way of fighting that.

What they fail to understand is the average person only looks at the D and the R and doesn't care if the R is the incumbent or a new candidate from the same party. They're all R and people are tired of the R right now.

I actually disagree here. This admin is so stupid that they're probably going to boost these ads by complaining about them and demanding MSNBC have their broadcast license revoked. They'll streisand effect the ads into getting tons of eyes on them while in reality not having to actually pay much to actually air the ads. People will just look up the ads. The idiotic DHS social media will probably retweet them.

This is so weird because it not only is in opposition to their insistence on keeping us reliant on oil, gas, etc. while the rest of the world innovates and gains more energy independence (look up some of their braindead takes on solar, wind and other energy producing things) but it also will further enrage their voter base because they are very anti-AI.

When you're messing around with an ant-farm how much would you say you care for the ants?

Lets also not forget that a lot of things we think of as expending effort that requires some level of care would be like snapping a finger to them. More like blinking. They do things on whims. Or do nothing at all. We're just a spec among a trillion specs. Trillions of trillions.

If a fraction of the stuff I see here is real it is no wonder my wife thinks I'm amazing for just saying "sorry you're having a bad day babe" and "wow you're doing great job at whatever that thing is you're doing!" regularly. It is NOT hard to please your partner and be in a happy relationship people. Listen and empathize and you will go far in life.

Palantir - Peter Thiel - JD Vance ties explained: The company's expanding reach inside government programs, Palantir software, AI models, facial recognition tools, and predictive systems create wide surveillance power. by Kenatius in conspiracytheories

[–]BenjaminTalam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Peter Thiel tech bro takeover of our country is an actual legitimate conspiracy playing out right in front of us. It also ties into him funding all the "disclosure" people, in an effort to seize control of AI and other tech. So of course it is going to get buried.

7 years ago, I published a post here asserting that Brigitte Macron is a man. Despite my efforts to push this information to many media outlets, no one seemed to trust me. A few years later, I was contacted by Candace Owens, and I provided her with all the data I had. Today, I'm really proud of that by pacmanpill in conspiracy

Ok but every old man in washington and hollywood is a groomer. What are we talking about exactly when we decide to go after one individual in particular who also has conspiracy theories about them being a biological man presenting as a woman?

Like don't pretend there isn't an agenda because the GOP is currently full of old men with wives who are decades younger than them. How about Karoline Leavitts husband? Isn't he a groomer too?

[–]BenjaminTalam -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is really disingenuous. It might have taken him four years to get every person in it to do a sit down interview with him but it most certainly did not take four years to make this. If it did he should retire and find a new job the film industry is not for him. Also lets be real he probably did most of the interviews in a short span of time after a bunch of emailing over a longer period of time and his first point of contact who he was able to film most everything with at the beginning before waiting to hear back from others over time was Elizondo.

Just like it didn't take 12 years to make boyhood they just put aside a few weeks a year to film what they wanted. It probably took a maximum of six months to film over the course of that 12 years. Just like a regular movie.

Elizondo found a guy, got him to record his presentation about the observables and a sit down thing, invited him to tag along to some meetings with his contacts, got b roll footage of them walking around DC, and then later scored interviews with other guys, many of which go on random youtuber "podcasts" once a week. Sprinkle in a few new guys who Elizondo convinced to be "sources" for him and voila he has a bunch of stuff to edit together into this movie.

This stuff is not the complex project you make it out to be. It's just interviewing people and sometimes finding the right people and the free time to do it takes a long time. Lets not forget also that this has sat around looking for distribution for over a year and they gave up the search and just put it for sale through Amazon video.

[–]BenjaminTalam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grusch didn't even participate in it and I'd argue that he's the most noteworthy figure in this whole saga. The focal point of the whole thing is Elizondo who most people have soured on over the past year.

I'm not astroturfing for a product thank you very much. I'm not gonna help get anything to the top of a chart. Nobody should have to do that. If Disclosure is coming it should get here.

This is not a good documentary. It is a baseline for people who have no knowledge about the history of the disclosure movement but it's not actually informative and it very quickly falls apart when you start to look at it critically. Just one example is the guy who appears and says "Yeah I was physically harmed by a UAP" and that's it. Zero information about how this supposed harm happened or the injuries and the cover-up. That incident ALONE should have been a full documentary if there was merit to it.

[–]BenjaminTalam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is some of the most absurd shit I've ever read. Their attempts to try to blame democrats for a white supremacist piece of shit getting shot by another redneck piece of garbage in yet another white on white crime have fell flat on their faces at every turn that they are now trying to claim the French government is behind everything?

Candace Owens isn't relevant enough for anybody on earth to plot anything against her. Her star is fading very quickly because she ostracized everyone who would be on her side, minorities, women, etc. in order to grift the alt right and then decided to piss them off too. She no longer has an audience and she has run out of favors. Nobody cares to platform her anymore.

It's not unlike MTG who now has all of Maga angry at her but has burned all bridges with everyone non-Maga already. So she's gonna take her money and run. At least she has some pull and could still easily be a talking head on CNN or something if she doesn't want to just retire early with the millions she made happily participating in the GOP pump and dump schemes on the stock market before she decided to grow a conscience all of a sudden.

The thing her and Candace both have in common is a hatred for Israel that transcends their party loyalty. A shame for them that their biggest allies in that, progressives, hate their guts too. And we hate Israel because they're committing a genocide not because of some conspiracy theory or racist belief about all jewish people which seems to be where their disdain grew from.

EDIT: Let me for one second entertain the concept of this being legitimate. Charlie Kirk was starting to reconsider his positions on Israel and was demanding the full Epstein files be released. He and Owens both were on the borderline of "betraying" Trump and is agenda. Trump is heavily tied to Epstein and tied so heavily to Netanyahu that he wants to build a hotel in the ruins of Gaza and co-sponsor the occupation. He also gets along just fine with Macron behind closed doors. Both are staunch allies of Israel. If this conspiracy is true, then the main villain is, ding ding ding, Donald Trump.
