At this point, if you’re not double-checking something produced by your AI tool of choice, it absolutely is your fault. It’s no secret that these applications were trained on garbage.

Ah, my mistake mixing them up. Thank you for the correction.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it in the UN Charter that an attack on UN forces is an attack on the entire dang alliance?

There’s plenty of evidence that social media is harmful to kids, teens, and adults. Several are referenced in this article: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/social-media-teens-mental-health

We also know that FB has used its platform to unknowingly run social experiments on users without their knowledge and helped the proliferation of misinformation to the tremendous detriment of our country and our people. With gen AI creating even more false information, it’s imperative that governments crack down.

Social Media can and should be regulated just like any other objectionable form of speech.

Totally.

I was very impressed by Democrats’ reaction when the Roe repeal was leaked.

They used it to raise money.

That alone is indicative of the fact that they’re unsuited to govern.

Well, thank you for your perspective.

Have a nice weekend.

What’s amazing is seeing a president who isn’t content to make excuses.

He also dispelled the myth that one needs 60 votes to pass legislation, and yet, I still have to hear Democratic supporters make that excuse for why they never fulfill their promises.

And Harris will stand by and make excuses when the same things happen under her watch. We know this because that’s what Biden and Obama have done.

So what’s the point?

I don’t know how much failure it’ll take before Democratic voters start to realize they should make different choices if they actually want change.

When you elect an opposition party that doesn’t actually oppose anything, every issue that concerns you is in jeopardy, yes. Further, I wouldn’t trust someone who built their career on locking up nonviolent drug users en masse to care much what happens to you or your family.

They certainly don’t care about mine. My eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash, in a car I lent them, and that’s the only thing separating them from homelessness and starvation.

I don’t think that’s accurate.

I’m not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.

When was the last time the minimum wage went up in this country?

Almost two decades ago, and 2/3 of the US states use that as the standard.

So yes, if you’re poor or working class in this country, it doesn’t matter much who we elect.

I don’t think it matters much who we elect, at least if you’re a member of the poor and working class. It will be interesting to see the stats on how many people don’t bother voting this year.

Every time I hear stories like this it reminds me of the efforts Dubya and Cheney have made to rewrite history because they’re associated with some of the worst people and decisions in American history. I don’t believe for a moment that he wasn’t just another yes man indulging Trump’s nonsense.

The beauty of the electorate not giving a damn about being lied to is that you get to get to lie about anything and everything.

In recent years I’ve had mixed performance from Supermassive titles. The Quarry didn’t run well. The Devil In Me ran very well. I haven’t played the new companion game they made to Dead by Daylight, but the demo ran perfectly.

We’ll see when it comes down in price.

Shit, what a terrifying prospect.

There are so many high-profile assholes in this country named Eric.

Having a great online gaming community can be a wonderful thing. I’ve returned over and over again to ALFA, a Neverwinter Nights (1, now Enhanced Edition, not NWN2) persistent world that’s over two decades old now, and me and a few lifers are still playing and DMing even today with each other.

Online friends are real friends.

Origins was so dang good.
