Some asshole wanted for war crimes wants to nominate some other asshole for a Nobel Peace Prize?

I forgot, when Stalin nominated Hitler, did the stache get one?

priceless

for everything else there’s mastercard

indeed.

also, what if… they ate their own immediate family?

wait, which thread is this?

why should reporting be limited to immediate family?

if the neighbors see mr. jones take out a shrub or hop curbs the rest of the world ceases to matter, just immediate family?

typical boomer privilege - oh wait, now I’m old? no don’t test me…

It still baffles me that Bush won in 2004. People saw 9/11, saw 3 years of Bush’s response, and then said “Yes please, more of that!”.

unfortunately I can offer insight into this aspect. I lived in south texas around that time.

the GOP is really good at sussing out divisive politics. in 2004, they knew they were in deep deep shit. so… and I really don’t understand the how of this succeeded - but some how they convinced religious white latino and african americans that gay rights - people being able to marry the person they loved - was going to directly disenfranchise them or destroy the concept of marriage. a ton of people who normally would never vote R, and often never vote at all, were whipped into frothing mobs by their clergy to come out and make sure that didn’t happen by putting georgie back in office. and that’s not an exaggeration, they were told by their preachers to come defend jesus by making sure the gays couldn’t marry.

it’s 32 flavors of fucked up racism and hate. then in 2005 katrina hit and any illusion people had that the GOP / Bush admin cared one fucking wit for anyone besides rich white people evaporated. too late.

you know he’s gotta be thankful trump came along and DECISIVELY made W look almost kinda vaguely… presidential. not competent per se but compared to trump, holy hell…

frankly would be amazed if W could spell critique…

spent about 3 months in misery because some seemingly random days I’d end the afternoon with my back covered in hives from my belt to my neck.

turns out, I’m allergic to the foam used in the chair I sat in for meetings in the conf room. not my desk, so not every day, just often enough to really fucking lose my shit. and not always the same chair.

I apparently need a cone of shame for my ass.

lol this made me chortle, thanks, and good luck

dos had dir/s/*blah.wtf - pipe it into a txt file for the results if there’s too many. or /p

but yeah, on windows - everything. everything is the best search I’ve ever used, it updates (near as I can tell) instantly, and just freakin works great.

Hertz had a bunch of bad shit in the news but this one… wow. and the impacts downline on people’s lives, all upended for the simple act of renting a car, yikes.

Why would anyone rent from a company that was convicted of persecuting their own customers because of the incompetence of the company?

Hertz fucked up repeatedly and people lost their jobs, were imprisoned and had their credit scores wrecked because Hertz couldn’t find it’s own cars on it’s own lots.

Why anyone would give them a fucking nickel is beyond me

truth

well written. like some Stephen King.

they’re afraid.

apparently the smell is something else. some next level shit, if by next level we mean ‘in his pants’

a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human

I’d add that a computer vision system can’t integrate new information as quickly as a human, especially when limited to vision-only sensing - which Tesla is strangely obsessed with when the cost of these sensors is dropping and their utility has been proven by waymo’s excellent record.

All in all, I see no reason to attempt to replace humans when we have billions. This is doubly so for ‘artistic’ ai purposes - we have billions of people, let artists create the art.

show me an AI driven system that can clean my kitchen, or do my laundry. that’d be WORTH it.

ah thank you for the expanded info. I’m in a similar situation and would like alternatives…

True or not, I’m one email away from total freedom.

uh can you expand on this?

they got theirs, fuck everyone who comes after. literally pulling the ladder up behind themselves
