They weren’t even “fully ready” for Ukraine…

Because it all boils down to Trump’s ego.

Saying it made him look like an utter fool. So his enablers will do whatever they have to do to prove that he was “correct”.

It’s honestly frightening.

Every single one of us, as kids, learned the concept of “garbage in, garbage out”; most likely in terms of diet and food intake.

And yet every AI cultist makes the shocked pikachu face when they figure out that trying to improve your LLM by feeding it on data generated by literally the inferior LLM you’re trying to improve, is an exercise in diminishing returns and generational degradation in quality.

Why has the world gotten both “more intelligent” and yet fundamentally more stupid at the same time? Serious question.

I think these are just the ones who get caught and that there are hundreds more

“I think” is the operative statement there. What you think is pointless. Facts are what matter. And without evidence that it IS the majority doing it, automatically lumping them all into that group makes us no better than them in terms of their rhetoric and divisiveness.

Every damn side needs to stop painting the other with broad strokes and then complaining when they do it back. It’s not helpful. Questions that are worded like this are not helpful.

Tell my wife, “hello”…

So they…entered the neutral zone?

Kirk vibe intensifies.

Great. Then you shouldn’t have any problem coming up with three examples for us all.

Cold War II: Lunar Nuclear Boogaloo

The main problem is that some, sometimes most, of immigrants don’t want to assimilate. They are creating ghettos, don’t respect local laws.

Generalisations like this are the very reason it’s a polarising issue. Opinions like yours generally derive from “observation” and “gut feeling”. Which by definition is completely anecdotal and harmful when it begins to be applied to millions of people all at once.

Betsy from insert town here sees an immigrant couple down the street in her home-town keeping to themselves and not really wanting to take part in the community. She’s talking on the phone to nosy-nessie the town busybody who says “oh…you know…my aunt said the same thing about her insert culture neighbours.” And then all of a sudden, that’s just “how those people are”…all of them…everywhere.

Maybe this couple is just a little embarrassed about their english skills and want to strengthen them more before going into public everywhere, which comes across as shy. Maybe they’re just private…who knows. But suddenly…“it’s just how (those people) are”, becomes the anecdotal “truth”.

It’s wrong, it’s dangerous, and the fact that you don’t even grasp the irony of your own comment is telling in a lot of ways.

Great. How can I stop it from coming?

…halting aircraft production

That’s probably for the best…

50s greaser gang?

I think Lord of War and Anon were his best post Gattaca. In Time was pretty “meh” in my opinion, but watchable, and the rest were forgettable.

I misspoke a bit. I don’t mean that his other works are garbage by any means. In fact I quite liked Lord of War and Anon. Just meant that they never really hit the same depth of messaging that Gattaca seemed to hit.

My father was right. It didn’t matter how much I lied on my resume. My real C.V. was in my cells. Why should anyone invest all that money to train me when there are a thousand other applicants with far cleaner profiles.

Of course it’s illegal to discriminate; “Genoism” they call it. But no one takes the laws seriously. If you refuse to disclose, they can always take a sample from a doorhandle, or a handshake. Even the saliva off your application form. And if all else fails, a perfectly legal drug test can just as easily become an illegal peek at your future in the company.

This movie stands as one of the most prescient I’ve ever watched. It’s a shame that Nicols later works never matched it, and that this movie itself is somewhat forgotten.

I think I read somewhere, but I’d have to go track it down, that the ISS was catching up on a whole lot of back-logged experiments with their unexpected addition to the team.

People are (rightfully) raking Starliner and Boeing for the shitshow that has been this project so far. But the positive to take from this flight, even landing without the crew, is the fact that the capsule itself performed fine. It was the service module that was being screwy. The actual “capsule” part in “capsule” seems to have had it’s issues ironed out. Just fix the shitty service module.

I thought it was a Canadian company that then contracted out right-wing American personalities.

I remember thinking when I heard it that it’s probably the smartest thing Russia could have done; sneak in the back door by using the Canadians as a go-between.

Please don’t lump us all together.

Yep. Welcome to the hell that is corporate capitalism.

In a word. Lobbyists.
