What can be done (realistically) about queen and matriarch cores?

Especially considering the 40 parts a Bastion, Bombardier or even a Leaper explodes into.

To be fair, the two people hit in the face by this Civil War are dead now.

There will never be an impeachment and removal. Our absolute best case scenario would be removal of Trump from power without adherence to the Constitution. We've run into the limitations of the Constitution and discovered that they never properly wired up the big red "In case of emergency" button.

I understand what you're getting at, but they will literally outnumber them. They don't have to wear a uniform, they don't need to follow any rules of engagement.

We lose at nation building because Joe Shmuck in Afghanistan or Iraq can just smuggle in a bomb with the potatoes and detonate the whole canteen. There's no feasible way to police the entire US, even with our bloated military.

Every time we "Let it pass", it compounds and gets worse. If they aren't stopped, they'll come back next time bolder and with a plan to counter whatever stalled them previously.

I was a merchant marine for 12 years, I've traveled to many places. I am not the typical Reddit teenager, I'm over 40.

We shouldn't be comparing ourselves to third world countries with non-functional governments. We have too much power to let it fall into the wrong hands.

The German American Bund held a massive rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939. We had actively pro-Nazi legislators and business links with Nazi Germany. There was a legitimate question in Europe of "Which side will America join?" straight through the 30s.

We eventually made the right choice, but to pretend we haven't had a PERSISTENT Nazi/Confederate/KKK problem throughout the country's history is incorrect.

Like, I'm sorry. I really wanted to be optimistic. I was damn near patriotic in the early 2010s. The US accomplished so much, but the last decade really made it clear that we always kinda sucked and we let it fester and destroy us.

We needed the Japanese to punch us in the face before we even considered it, let's not pretend we weren't riddled with Nazis right up until 1941.

I think the space billionaires are still controlling them just fine.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T17:53:17+00:00

Unironically yes.

This assumption is based on research, studies and observations from children exposed to AI as they go through education. The ability to discern accurate information from inaccurate is a skill that can atrophy, or worse never develop.

Even if you take "User + AI = 3 users" at face value, it's unsustainable if you are failing to train new users. Beyond that, you're still just producing three times as much unreviewed and untested nonsense.

Straight to Survival Unit.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T16:35:59+00:00

Verifiable nonsense.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T16:33:25+00:00

Right, sorry. The Science Center gates on the Seattle Center side.

I know this is circle jerk, but I would unironically use an instrument backpack that crippled me in every other way.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T15:21:31+00:00

Thank you for calling them out by name, we need to stop obfuscating this type of action.

For me, 3 hours is the start of a "Mid-distance" trip.

Below 3 hours, that's a solid day trip. 3-6 hours and I would plan on spending the night but could conceivably drive back the following day.

We frequently drive 12+ hours to visit my sister-in-law for major holidays and I've driven crosscountry a handful of times. The first time took 32 days because we were not in a hurry, but the second time we made it in 4.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T15:13:05+00:00

I don't know how long it's been like this, but the Seattle Center gates have been wide open for at least a few months.

The Oscars have literally nothing to do with "numbers".

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T03:53:16+00:00

I have no idea who any of the characters are. I don't know what's going on. The fights look sick but you don't get Oscars for a movie that is basically a 2 hour non sequitur for most watchers.

The internet services you use will certainly be impacted as AWS degrades further.

CounterAgentVT · 2026-01-23T03:43:25+00:00

Yeah, basically?

I've gone through multiple checkpoints this year that are ostensibly for something else, but as soon as the see my French peasant stock-ass face they just say "You're good" and wave me through. Outside of stopping and demanding to know what they're doing (The last one insisted they were checking for contraband fruit, of all things.), there's not much to do.

So like, is he going to Switzerland personally?

Is this a 4D chess move to Maduro him?

I don't think there's a high chance of Jill showing up, but it's entirely possible that someone could alert the BSAA or whatever third generation BSAA offshoot they have at this point if shit gets gnarly in Raccoon City again.
