Well one of the main problems people are having with AI is that it doesn’t get things correct every time.

I mean, if they adjust it away from the correct assessment that modern conservatives are actively malicious morons, it’s probably going to be so bent out of shape that it’ll be incapable of telling anything remotely truthful.

They’re having both a bird flu & measles problem at the same time and burying their heads in the sand about it.

Oh and they fired a load of people doing Ebola research

And this one isn’t strictly a pandemic, but the USA is currently basically carpet bombing parts of Mexico (with their consent) to prevent the northward progression of screwworms—which are even worse than you’re currently imagining.

I’ve probably forgotten something else biological that mother nature is currently doing to indicate her displeasure in the politically driven ignorance they’ve got going on over there.

Is it clever enough to not send STOP to engagement fishing spam? Like the ones that use the STOP message to add you to a list of people who actually read the thing and then you’re spammed a load more for months?

I live in the UK, my impact has its limits. I’m involved in my country though

So do what AOC did and get involved in changing it then? It’s certainly more left with her in it than not—imagine if half the party was made up with people with more left wing views. I do not understand why so many of you guys are so inert on this.

The alternative is revolution, and given that involves personal sacrifice in the most hyper-individualist country on the planet, you’re going to have an uphill struggle with getting enough people together to even make the news.

One option is a practical thing you can actually do, without having to wait for anyone else, to start on a path of improving things to align with your views. The other is basically waiting and hoping things eventually get so bad it short-circuits the capitalist propaganda that’s been shoved down every American’s throat since they could breathe. Then that you can get enough people together for a violent revolution at all, let alone enough for one to be successful.

Frankly, if you’re waiting anyway, you may as well get involved in the thing you can do today. Even if at the very least just to get voting reform done—then you can at least vote for a third party and benefit from that vote, could even be a vanguard party!

Probably that sport they put between adverts in the US

Sure but that’s like calling Vice City GTA4. It’s not named that by the people that make it

America has FPTP—she loses any practical chance of influence if she does that. Unless you vote for one of the main two parties, you create the same outcome as if you voted for the party you like least.

The better bet is to push her up to the top of the party and drag it kicking and screaming leftward. Then frankly, start pushing for voting reform to fix this problem

A very nice change of recent trends across the world

IIRC valve outright said it wasn’t HL3

Well I’ll be, if it’s not the ideological purge!

And only about 3 months in

Y would anyone want one of those

through LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) purchases

Or we could invest that €50bn into something like a massive wind farm, battery storage or similar and increase independence from oil entirely

Hell, if they were selling renewables competitively, it might be a more compelling argument.

Me working from home in the UK today in a house designed for winter with no air conditioning (as is all typical in this country, since the industrial revolution had barely happened when most were built, let alone global warming):

25 degrees sounds blissfully Baltic compared to the day I had today

There are not enough fans in my house

Which git porcelain does this rely on?

If it wasn’t so destructive, it would be hilarious that he can only hire kids

TBF it’s not something I really read, just that I’ve heard of it. Though that’s a pretty clear signal of what the future holds for Polygon then

I mean it’s the logical conclusion of “everything the right says is projection”

If a right winger wants to ban something you can find as a category on pornhub, that’s what they’ve been clicking.

No, not at all, generally not a good sign whatsoever (unless you’re wall st apparently). I guess there’s the chance it was particularly inefficiently staffed, but then Vox seem like they should have known what they were doing, so that doesn’t seem likely.

The new owner seems to have a few gaming brands already, Game Rant being the only one I’ve heard of though. Perhaps they’re planning a consolidation and this is the redundancy from that?

Not necessarily saying there’s a silver lining, just trying to rationalise
