To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

AGMs are actually worth the squeeze even on a car that doesn’t necessarily require one, they’re genuinely good-ass batteries. Expensive, though. But they’ll blow the pants off a lead acid in a stress test.

Also lots of cars have an option to toggle the auto-off. Not all of them though. And some will reset it every time you turn the car on and off.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

You end up with the problem of Who Watches The Watchmen all the way down in infinite layers. We don’t really have an inherently trusted party here that could arbitrate a vote. Unless you try to do something funky with blockchain, but I couldn’t tell you about that, that isn’t one of my spell schools.

The peak of their problems is the impending fall of international society into fascism and ecological collapse

But they’re not old enough to be expected to worry about that yet.

That’s the fucking Feywild, bro. Those borders aren’t going to stay where they’re at. France needs to look out.

I award you a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even if there isn’t tech to buy I’d immediately make infinite money off the instant private delivery of goods. You would have every drug dealer and government in the world blowing up your phone to get your services.

You mean you don’t want to be inside the world’s thickest bell when it gets hit with a main battle cannon?

Say it ain’t so.

Historically speaking you can damage an American aircraft and get away with it, you just need to be lucky. No, if you want everyone to be afraid to touch you, join the navy. Touching American boats either with or without provocation is anathema. You touch the boat, you get the smoke, end of story.

We’re currently on GPT-4… You should look up what happened to GPT-1 through 3. If I remember right GPT-2 in particular was ruined by a bad feedback loop that ended up locking it into only writing the most disgusting, vile smut you could think of in response to any query. Not sure what happened to the others but frankly speaking I don’t think “feral rampancy” is off the table here.

The media industry, like several other industries in America, is never going to shed its yoke unless it is destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. It’s the unfortunate truth. The destruction of the media giants would be very bad for individual creators in the short term and potentially the only way to actually regain control of their industry in the long term.

I say, let 'em burn. You can’t stop humans from making art, but we can stop working for Disney’s bottom line. But that’s easy for me to say as someone who doesn’t make their living from that.

This movie was 100% trash and I loved it when I watched it as a kid. It did not hold up to a later rewatching as a 20-something, even when stoned.

Or on big-ass clock towers that are supposed to be visible from a large part of the surrounding area.

Arguably, yeah it could be performance art.

As a bonus, whoever was close enough to shoot you down is about to get at least one heavy steel javelin flung terrifyingly close to their direction at high speeds.

I’m assuming here that impact with a long range SAM is probably something you’re not about to eject from.

Major Mindbleach made local headlines today as he drove a Santa Claus-esque sleigh attached to an AARGM directly over the heads of local combatants. Spectators say that instead of dropping gifts like his holiday counterpart, Mindbleach was dropping dook as he shit his pants repeatedly moving at speeds of Mach 2+ attached to a ballistic missile. The final status of Mindbleach is unknown. More information as the story develops.

This sounds exactly Aussie enough to be true
