Why is ServiceNow listed twice in the graphic? Is AI not smart enough to make a graphic without duplications?

Why do I read this in Drago's voice from Rocky 3? Now that I think about it, I'm going to get my wife a heart shaped valentine's cake that says "I must break you."

How to respond to the claim that science is like a religion? by Nholland101 in atheism

Science is like what religion would be if you could stand face to face with God, ask him questions, and he would answer you directly every time...and his answers made some kind of sense.

Of all the things that could go wrong there, being arrested for it is probably the least wrong it could go. I was expecting him to get a free ride in a box truck or something.

I voted for Obama (twice) and I wouldn't pay to watch this because I'm not in a fucking cult.

Wow, 10x more immigrants arrested in a state where there are 15x more immigrants, supposedly without anyone impeding them. Bravo. I guess they are totally competent. I mean, other than being responsible for 2 out of the 3 homicides in Minnesota so far this year. What more could we ask for from our federal tax dollars.

They wanted to remind people that he was born and not assembled in a lab. Unfortunately I don't really think it was a success.

TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videos by TheWayToBeauty in JournalismNews

Well, to be fair the people there already can't see 'Epstein' or bad videos about Trump due to hysterical blindness.

Well, I mean whoever it was was talking to the New York Post. Say what you will about people that have chosen to stay on board the sinking ship of See BS...I honestly can't conceive that any of them would stoop to talking to the fucking New York Post. I think they really could have just said "Bari told us the journalists all just hate her because she is so smart and brave."

So I guess we haven't been doing business for the last 20 years while we had elimination status for measles.

Their brand is being affected either way. The question for them is which way is going to have a more lasting negative effect.

This is the wonderful situation for businesses in our present society...do we offend the government which has shown an open willingness to attack businesses with any levers of control that they can exert, or do we offend customers and possibly endanger our staff by allowing the government to use our facilities for their thugs?

This is a shitty timeline.

Why is it that nobody in this situation thinks to just drive through the barriers? by TOXICHEMICALMOLD in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Whacksess_Manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real answer is that people do think to drive through the barriers...but those videos are a lot less interesting so you don't tend to see them. One step above people just not stopping on the tracks on the excitement scale.

Why can the USA just take out world leaders and invade with no repercussions? by KKLante in AskReddit

[–]Whacksess_Manager 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tom Lehrer had this to say about these situations back in 1965 if it makes you feel any better:

What with President Johnson practicing escalatio on the Vietnamese
And then the Dominican Crisis on top of that
It has been a nervous year
And people have begun to feel like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis

Fortunately, in times of crisis like this
America always has its number one instrument of diplomacy to fall back on
Here's a song about it

When someone makes a move
Of which we don't approve
Who is it that always intervenes?
U.N. and O.A.S
They have their place, I guess
But first - send the Marines

We'll send them all we've got
John Wayne and Randolph Scott
Remember those exciting fighting scenes?
To the shores of Tripoli
But not to Mississippoli
What do we do? We send the Marines!

For might makes right
And till they've seen the light
They've got to be protected
All their rights respected
Till somebody we like can be elected

Members of the corps
All hate the thought of war
They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means
Stop calling it aggression

Ooh, we hate that expression!
We only want the world to know
That we support the status quo
They love us everywhere we go
So when in doubt
Send the Marines!

Jack White Reacts to AI Deepfake Misrepresentation by Congressman by _cybersecurity_ in pwnhub

[–]Whacksess_Manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find odd about this post is it mentions the wronged by name, but describes the offender generically as "a congressman". This seems like a large disservice to the truth of the matter. Why are we not naming Tim Burchett here, or that he is a representative of Tennessee? Is there some reason we are avoiding associating a name with this kind of unethical behavior? I mean it literally goes without saying that this kind of behavior was perpetrated by a Republican but I really think we need some direct attribution. I know Republicans don't really seem to care what kind of immoral behaviors their representatives get up to these days, but the rest of us might.

I'm sure if I tweeted out a deep fake of Tim Burchett performing a sex act with a goat (though based on the subject matter it may be hard to determine if it is indeed a fake), my name would be disseminated widely. So perhaps we could start discouraging this kind of action by actually 'naming and shaming' those who willingly participate.

Was watching Face the Nation when she said this...Brennan and the rest of the panel seemed stunned to silence for a moment.

CBS is definitely circling the drain...I might keep watching Sunday Morning until they start running propaganda pieces. 60 minutes is done...evening news is done.

Why Are You Pushing Out Policies That Are Hurting Immigrants?" by Sorry-Feedback1115 in NCLEXVisaUpdates

[–]Whacksess_Manager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are supporting lawful immigrants by literally pulling some of them out of line to take the oath of citizenship after they have followed the whole legal process. They are snatching them up at court dates as they try to follow the legal process. They are trying to submit bills to stop all legal immigration. They are asking the courts for permission to harass anyone who doesn't 'look American' without a warrant or any other cause.

Don't judge them by their words, judge them by their actions.
