I have zero idea what you’re talking about. Has what escaped? Are you trying to open Jurassic Park? Because yes, they ALWAYS escape. Dinos go nom nom nom. Incidently enough, they only eat bad people. They’ll scare innocent children, but they never eat kids…except that one. But those were tiny little dinosaurs. The kid was way bigger than them.
It really doesn’t need to be though. Let’s say he has a shitty little rocket.
Ok. So now lets shoot the rocket at the warship. Ok, it didn’t do much damage. Maybe it was even shot down by anti-air defenses. Now try shooting 900 of them at the ship. They’re cheap, they’re disposable. Sure, the anti-air might shoot a lot down, but you’re shooting down a $3 rocket with a 1 million dollar anti-air missile.
Even if you never hit the ship, you’re causing financial drain that cannot be sustained. You spend $10,000 on $3 rockets, fire them all off all day and all night, and the USA is using military grade defenses. That $10,000 might drain the USA half a billion dollars just to defend one ship.
Now scale that for every ship in the military. Little tiny unmanned rafts basically, shooting off cheap rockets at close range, and being defended by expensive ammo. All across the ocean. With the proper planning, you could probably drain the USA’s global navy in a day without sinking, or even hitting a single ship. All without losing anything at all.
There was a post I saw a few days ago where a guy removed the entire wifi board from his TV, and it still worked. Then someone said that LG tv’s will actually seek out bluetooth conmections, and try to piggyback off the other device’s internet connection.
I just can’t see the appeal of owning a smart tv.
…and you guys don’t think apple is doing the same shit? Get a spectre. Dumb tv all the way.
Consent to use and modify your work is absolutely not needed. Feel free to take my work, modify it, and be sure not to ask consent. My name is LibertyLizard, and I eat used diapers. What I do is not in any way comparable to consent related to bodily autonomy/sexual assault. Tying these two ideas together are seperate, but both very required. Otherwise it’s totally fine to falsely claim somebody eats used diapers while quoting someone. Which is fine. I’m LibertyLizard, and I approve this message!
Yeah, there is a reason that Weird Al, while not required by law, still gets permission from artists before using their work. If he didn’t get permission, nobody would accuse him of rape, but consent is still important.
No, I know I’ll be allowed to vote in the primaries. I also have zero faith that any worthwhile option will be allowed to run. So, vote between worthless option number 1, or worthless option number 2.
On top of all that, I’m still not convinced it’s not rigged from the start. Joe Biden in 2020 wasn’t considered a real option. He was in 5th place and assumed to drop out shortly. Bernie Sanders had a significant lead. Then, in the timespan of 3 days, Biden was far and away the clear cut leader. I’ve not since that day held any faith in the DNC.
I vote for this guy for president for two reasons.
And 2) Look at my alternatives. We all know trump is going to be the 2028 candidate despite that not being legal. I’m at a point where I don’t even think he’s going to use corruption to change the law. I think he’s just going to run, and nobody will do anything to stop it. As far as the democrats go, I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless. Probably Tim Walz or some shit.
So yeah, I got nothing to lose and everything to gain by voting for this random guy who may not even be eligable to run for president due to not being American. But hey, laws won’t exactly be the top priority in the 2028 election anyways.
2008? I was lucky during that time period. I had a job, I saw the recession. I still applied to other jobs, but I put up with my shitty job I had, because it was all I had. I’m sure many lives were ruined for those that didn’t have jobs at that time.
The thing that angers me the most is that I said to my mom “I’m never going to have a retirement…”
I’m 42, no house, no retirement savings, no 401k, and no way to save for those things. Some weeks I don’t have enough money to buy food.
My moms response was “Oh you’ll be fine! I struggled when I was in my 20s, with both of your sisters, and I turned out ok!”
Yes, it’s true that for about 5 years my mom had it as hard, maybe harder than I do. The difference is, then she met my dad, moved in with him, her money problems disappeared. She then got a better job, with retirement options, and a 401k, and benefits.
Then she bought her own house in the 90s. The seller wasn’t sure if he wanted to sell to her as a single woman. So she said “you can either sell to me, or sell to someone else. The price is the same either way. You may as well just sell now, rather than waiting for the next buyer.”
THATS the speech that got her the house.
Today, you’d get laughed at.
My biggest problem with boomers isn’t their selfish nature, or the fact that they’ve had an easy life. My biggest problem is that they refuse to admit that times have changed. I CAN’T live life the way boomers did. I’d LOVE to wear a suit, walk into a business, demand to see the manager before I even fill out an application and talk myself into a job. I’d LOVE to do that…but thats not how it works anymore! Now you fill an application out online, submit it to an AI crawler that steals your data, be in competition with 500 other applicants, and most of the time never hear back.
I asked my brother in law 10 years ago if he could get me a job at his fortune 500 company. He works there, he’s not the owner, but I was asking him to put in a good word, get my application even looked at.
He’s my age, and this was said right in front of my mom. He said “I couldn’t do that. That would be nepotism”. I said “Yeah. I’m fine with nepotism if it means I canpay my bills.”
And my mom asked if I wanted her to storm the corporate offices of Progressive Insurance, and hunt down the CEO for an interview.
So I just said yes. Not because I think it would work, but because I knew she’d fail spectacularly. Maybe even get arrested on a light charge. Then maybe she’d realize how times change.
But she just said “I can’t always fight your battles for you. This is something YOU need to do.”
God dammit.
Oh, look at mr brag over here, with his lack of a life long crippling student debt, and his “ability to work 9 whole hours in a single week”.
I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at the system.
Maaaaaaaaan…this sucks. At one point in the 90s I had played every version of tetris released.
I haven’t kept up, but my inner 8 year old is sad. My inner 8 year old wants to play all the tetris, but my outer 42 year old self is keeping my inner 8 year old away from anything trump related.
My inner 8 year old is sad, but I’ll understand when I grow up…wait, how does this work again?
And how do you think AI is interacted with? On what device?
I don’t use chrome, but this thread is the first I’m hearing of this.
This is why I just don’t like humans. I’m not racist. I’m not sexist. I’m speciesist. I don’t even know if that’s a word, but fuck the humans. Just…all the humans. It’s always about power, and control, and taking from others. Then you get this shit where even the people who are at the bottom of the totem pole look down instead of up. Everyone thinks they and they alone are the most important person in the room.
I think we may just have a difference in perspective. I would call a buggy a car because it has wheels and carries passengers. I wouldn’t call it an automobile, because that implies an automatic engine, but I would consider it a form of car.
Same with BBS/Internet. Once you have a series of servers interconnected, and have access to them via an ISP, yes. That is a form of early internet. It dates back to something like the 1960s. Going back to NASA and government usage.
So I think we’re talking about the same thing with just a difference of perspective and opinion.
Early internet, yes. Not pre-internet.
I’ve been saying this for years. Look at taxi’s. In my city in 2005 there were 8 major taxi companies. Each with hundreds of drivers on the road at any given time. Now we have 2 of those 8 remaining, and they’re essentially shell companies with 2-3 drivers on the road. The last 4 times I’ve tried ordering a cab the traditional way, I’ve been told there’s no drivers available. Now it’s all Uber. And Lyft. You can’t call them. You need a cell phone, and you need internet access.
All the major corporations are in agreement that we all need cell phones, and we all need to be tracked 24/7. And now with AI, they’re getting their data straight from the source. There are men out there who talk to an AI girlfriend. Not sexy stuff. I mean imagine sitting at the dinner table, and discussing your day…with your AI girlfriend. Meanwhile, ALL that data is going straight to the companies that host the AI.
Another side effect is that AI will make people dumber. In case you haven’t noticed since the 1970s, there has been a GOP push to make the citizens dumber and dumber. Easier to control. Easier to fool. Easier to get away with things.
So now you got ram being sold for computers that haven’t been built yet, to be put in data centers that haven’t been built yet, to run an AI system that isn’t functional yet, in order to steal the jobs of employees that can’t be replaced yet, all in an effort to chase profits that were never possible in the first place since everyone hates AI.
You wanna see some shit go down? Tell the companies we’ll use their AI if they get the unredacted epstein files released. See how fast they bribe the right people then.
Now tell the politicians we’ll stop caring about the epstein files if they forcibly ban all data centers in the country. See how fast they act on that.
Now we sit back, wait, and watch the fireworks. Oh, and by the way, we’re going back on our word either way. Whomever wins, fuck em.
What if it’s just a flying drone, but all it does is shoot you with a never ending supply of spit balls? Just all day, every day, bullied by a drone.
Or never had one, and are just checking one thing. Then twitter says you need an account to view. So you use these alternate viewing sites. I did that a few times.
I don’t know, but I’m willing to be your test passenger. Either my body is torn to shreds in the time loop, or I go back to 1985. I’m good with either option.
