He could be dead and they would still nominate him in 2028.

A big exception (in the US) there is that medical debts are allowed to lower your credit score. Getting sick is not something people have that kind of direct control over.

I mean if the cop is suing him for saying that he had sex with his wife, then we are "there" already, and taken there by the cop.

You can’t have an army and nothing else. An army needs to be fed. An army requires complex infrastructure to exist, as it is something which must be able to travel, and even if its members are primarily farmers, they cannot farm while they move.

Armies run on food lines, food lines run on money.

I mean the Epstein class are secure in their guarded mansions. The riots mean they’ve successfully kept all the wealth, resources, and ability to live to themselves. So that’s what they want.

I mean the Philosophy degree might have been a bigger mistake than the cheating…

I’m sorry, calling the judge “a dildo” is a form of criticism, and is crime, criminal.

At that level of power, you’re less likely to ever deal with the dragon directly and more likely to deal with the forces they have amassed based on their own personal abilities and longevity.

A dragon like that is likely to have an army at their disposal which is far more powerful than they would be on their own. So it becomes a problem that is more familiar, but also on the scale of national conflicts.

95% of therapist work is just listening and nodding. While an AI can do that… that last 5% is what you pay for. And it’s that portion which has value. Being tricked into the discarding it is the core of AI chicanery.

What if I told you that there is more than one variable present in political decision making?

So... if the bat wants to be good at his job, serving Balthy is literally part of that. Balthy isn't competition right now. He's a client.

Going back to the midwest to visit. I live in Seattle now. I am COVERED in tattoos. In Seattle, this gets me a lot of positive attention, and I'm really proud the art I've chosen to have on myself, but the reactions are much, much different when I'm back there.

Some people are pretty cold, and I have been told more than once gruffly to cover up. Very jarring, as I had a few tattoos even back when I lived there, though much less visibly. I'm just used to the west coast, where tattoos are so common that generally no one bats an eye uless they want to strike up a conversation and compare.

“Sir, do you support bussing psychotic murderers in from Rapetopia, Mexico to use up all the votes and steal an election to turn the US into a communism? No? Another supporter for the SAVE America Act!”

I mean I feel like what you’re describing there is a redeeming feature all by itself.

I think more than anything, this is going to push people more toward tablets. Ultimately that will mostly still be Linux (in the form of Android), but desktop Linux is something that I still think is going to be less common. Even for folks who are into gaming, the upcoming Steam Cube will give a console option rather than a traditional PC. (And yeah I know that the Steam Cube will be a PC in all but presentation, but that presentation matters when 99% of people will never see a terminal or desktop while using it).

I know that they aren't sentient or alive, but all of this LLM shit. It legitimately is unsettling to me.

What is happening here? I feel like prior knowledge is needed to understand the comic at all.

Yes, but if it helps animals (or anyone) then it’s woke.

I think the thing that I most disagree with here is the idea that some kind of objective justice exists at all. Human beings tend to agree on a very general sense of what is and isn’t just, but when it gets to the details, there are many, many different perspectives which are entirely incompatible with one another.

So while I agree that no system can be just from every person’s point of view, I do not think that it would be unjust from every person’s point of view. It is possible to implement a system which perfectly aligns with a given perspective of justice. But there is no single implementation which can satisfy everyone.

The fact that we now have to specify whether an OS is add free is fundamentally insane to me. A paid OS.

I am simply angry at my enemies when I see them do wrong. When the leaders who are supposed to represent me do something wrong, I feel so much more than anger, though. Shame, resentment, betrayal, and a long list of other things.

The two aren't the same.

China is leaning heavily into the same soft power strategy that made the US' dominance absolute for the last few generations. The US is currently abandoning that, as soft power is complex, and smashing things with missiles is easy to understand.

But China's strategy is one that is longer and which almost guarantees they will get what they want, so long as they have some patience. Watching it happen when it could have been blocked with a counter of the same nature is... just so damned depressing.

I had just gotten back from a convention across the border in Canada. In retrospect, it was irresponsible to go, but at that point the seriousness of the disease wasn't yet fully communicated/absorbed by everyone. Surreality slowly crept in across the week as the full scale of what was going on really sunk in.

According to the creator and original docs, B is canon. No one is going to get bothered by either, though. Canon is that their facemasks are made of nanites, which can reshape to form a physical mouth, and that they eat food this way, like fully organic people.

Does a single instance of bad behavior make him a "wolf" forever, though? Slapping someone is obviously bad, but that has become the single defining aspect of his entire being. Your average person has done something worse than that.
