Their point is that the dinner attempt is just another poorly executed staged attempt for publicity and sympathy from a wannabe dictator that’s losing support extremely quickly.

He started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. That is so clearly obvious that even MAGA informed have been turning against him.

This reeks of a blatant attempt to artificially increase support like many two bit dictators have done on the past. It worked last time.

Because middle manglement has a constant compulsive need to justify their existence by finding new ways and metrics to “manage”.

Nothing prevents US businesses from doing the same. Just greed (in the interest of squeezing every penny of shareholder value) by instead stocking as little as possible that can go bad quickly. Which means minimal fresh foods. So shareholders get a couple extra pennies in exchange for the entire business being seen as a piece of shit with crappy products.

Other businesses do just fine with fresh food, look at something like QT for a direct example. They even have made to order products, not just product delivered daily.

If only whoever runs 7-11 internationally would take over the US stuff to bring that state side.

Yeah that’s what happens to absolutely everything in Low Earth Orbit in just a few years. Well, unless you keep pushing them back up like we do to the International Space Station.

These satellites are doing exactly what they’re intended to do. These are actually pretty small satellites overall, there are a lot up there quite a bit larger that deorbit and burn up on re-entry just fine as well.

That’s part of the reason things are sent to LEO specifically, because their orbits naturally degrade and they naturally deorbit themselves without needing any assistance or fuel. It also means if a satellite in LEO fails quicker than planned, is put in an incorrect orbit due to a launch issue, or just failed prematurely, it will fail-safe and deorbit without any assistance.

I mean, by definition, an ATM cannot be airgapped. It needs a network connection of some sort to verify your account info.

And that doesn’t even take into account the various banking networks allowing you to use ATMs from other banks.

So you now can be absolutely certain that Netgear is actively and openly giving fascist authoritarians what they want.

At least before you could be fairly certain it was just the secretive three letter guys that roughly knew what they were doing at least. Now it’s even the blatant dumb fucks in charge.

Any dog.

Ankle bitter aren’t dogs. If it’s small enough to be drop kicked over a fence, it’s not a dog it’s a cruel genetic mistake made by humanity.

in order to do that we need to give them enough senators for constitutional amendments.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Senators only affect 1/4th of the process.

To propose amendments, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.

To ratify those amendments, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve them, or ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states must approve them.

You’re equating pirate radio with “terrible things”?

That’s kind of the point of those AR games. It’s been obvious from the beginning.

This is a surprise to no one, assuming you have been paying attention.

Of course they do. Apple Intelligence.

But even more broadly you can assume Apple is working on it if:

1. It is in any way tech-related.
2. It has the possibility of marketing existing technology as “magical” and easy to use.

It also seems that the more specific a person’s education gets, it replaces general knowledge and thinking. For many it seems their entire thought process changes to focus on that specific thing, to the detriment of anything else. Doctorates seem to be less capable of working outside their specific focused niche compared to those with lower degrees. They’ve spent so much time focusing that they can’t unfocus very well.

How the fuck did it spell Worcestershire correct but not the word sauce immediately after it?

Even dumbass autocorrect can do that. Spicy autocorrect can’t?

Quite often the script is used for subtitles because it’s easier than transcribing those differences. All of the text is already there in a seasily readable for mat both for humans and machines to source that translation from.

This is the difference between translating and interpreting.

Tom Scott has a video that touches on this, although the video focused on subtitles not matching dubbing, it’s the same reasons.

There was a big deal last year after Mastercard and Visa threatened the indie game site itch.io for allowing adult games, after a single complaint from an Australian anti-porn group.

Payment processors shouldn’t be gatekeepers of what we can buy. They should just process the payments and take their cut for being a middleman.

I really enjoy reminding them that Satan only kills about 10 people in the Bible. He temps others to do things, but he’s only responsible for a handful.

God on the other hand… much more direct and merciless. Doesn’t really seem to give a shit at all about killing people actually. Like a kid with a magnifying glass burning ants.

There’s quite a bit of evidence to argue he is actually malevolent.

Some would say even that is an overexplanation, because it’s so generalized and clinical.

The origin is a TikTok video about NBA player LaMelo Ball, and a conversation about his height being 6’ 7" and a lyric from the song “Doot Doot” by Skilla with the same numbers playing over that. Everything surrounding any reference to the numbers in general has spiraled from that, originally trying to get into further TikTok edits.
