This just in: "kids are assholes, but this is the first time they have been assholes in this manner"
Some of yall have clearly never been around teenagers. They are ruthless no matter how well you raise them, and their groupthink is capable of moving literal mountains if directed in the right direction.
So we call these wojacks? Im behind the curve on this one. I get the exstitenial crisis illustrated. And the ai aspect is another whole layer, but tbh im more curious where the name came from.
As dumb as it sounds, mutually assured destruction does have the perk of keeping everyone from using nukes. If modern countermeasures prevent that, it isnt a deterrent anymore. Updating these nukes improves the likelihood we dont have to use them.
Relevant example: russias tanks. They are outdated and weren't adequately improved over decades. and are now getting wrecked by consumer grade drones and guys with while fancy, in all honesty, second grade hand me down rocket launchers. Before we knew this fact, they were a reasonable deterrent to not fucking with russia. Now, not so much.
No shit. Wasnt the f35 total lifetime costs supposed to exceed 2 trillion?
Less moving parts and associated personel in nuclear silos and a big bomb. Absolute steal.
That being said, war is bad. But nukes are M.A.D.
Cant stop the laws, but there are people helping to get individuals the treatment they need. Check out elevatedaccess.org
No shit. I got downvoted for calling out a commentor sincerely advocating that biden should use systematic executions of congressional leaders that oppose him, thanks to the new supreme court ruling. It wasnt even the politics forum!
Im not being unreasonable saying that that is a horrible take. way too many people here make me feel like im living in an alternate reality. Im middle left at most, motherfuckers, yalls crazy.
I like lemmy, but there is no middle ground here at the moment. Ill keep calling it out tho.
The post above me was literally advocating a policy of systematic execution of political opponents until the rest of congress capitulate to demands, and you dumb fucks cant understand that would have severe repercussions for the unity of the american population? How does that not dissolve the union or cause literal anarchy in the streets? Those fuckers stormed the capitol for way less. They would absolutely murder their neighbors because lindsay graham was sent to the gilloutine. If you want to out crazy a crazy person, you will absolutely lose. These fuckers have practice. Dont advocate burning the rest of our fragile system down. Help keep it standing. This isnt a wall we want to fall.
And sandman. Kat dennings as death is perfection.
Neil gaimon is always good with his narration. The audible books that include a full cast are absolutely superb.
Bonus points for nigel plainar as solo narrator for his discworld books. Does an amazing job.
Bring back grumman!
Gotta correct for wind...
