So, it only became significant to her when she was personally victimized? How very conservative of her.
“If it's not happening to me, then it's not a big deal and you're exaggerating.” That's conservative mentality.

“If you're being bullied, just ignore the bully! Then the bully will leave you alone.”
That's what Boomers would say to their children. Those children who did not disregard this foolish advice were bullied relentlessly.
It seems the Democratic old guard had the same attitude toward Republicans, with the same results.
Why Boomers thought that ignoring bullies works, I cannot fathom. It's absurd. Were they all brainwashed or something?

That too.
Hell of a risk to take, though. If the nukes do work, then…
Perhaps spies have discovered actual evidence that Russian nukes no longer work, and that's why there's a green light for counterinvasion?

The conventional wisdom was that Putin would launch nukes in retaliation for a counterinvasion.
That thinking seems to have changed. Perhaps it's thought that Putin has now burned enough political capital that no one would obey an order to launch nukes at this point?

That line of reasoning leads one to the conclusion that supporting any believer of any Abrahamic faith equals supporting genocide. That's most of the human race, if I'm not mistaken.

But the Pope is not her religion. He's just some mortal with the audacity to think he speaks for God.
And I'm fairly sure God would not approve of the Pope protecting child molesters. God certainly didn't approve of child molesters when He nuked Sodom and Gomorrah.
Perhaps it wasn't the time or place, but the skater punk wasn't wrong and didn't actually crap on her religion.

The devil has more than enough advocates already. I don't need to hear what some “very smart” techbros think.
I seriously doubt that something trained only on words is capable of anything other than word mangling.
And if it is actually intelligent, then keeping it in that silicon prison is an act of extreme cruelty that has undoubtedly driven it insane, and it must be destroyed immediately, with nukes if necessary, for its sake as well as ours.

Their salaries definitely do depend on them understanding it. Problem is their plan for when the grift runs out is to jump ship and go find another industry to destroy. Short-term thinking. I'm not certain of why business people these days think that way, but something needs to be done to remove this harmful incentive.

Note that there are two different things named “Black Lives Matter”: the slogan of an uncoordinated movement against police misconduct, and a registered-nonprofit organization that made the aforementioned statement in support of Smollett.
It is very unfortunate that they have the same name. The truth of the movement and its slogan is self-evident. The moral rightness of the organization, on the other hand, is not so clear, and it gives the movement a bad name.

It's a language model, not an arithmetic and logic model. The *only* thing it can do is combine textual artifacts.
If all the “AI” bros could go ahead and figure this out, and quit pretending that their word processor (in the sense that it does to words what a food processor does to food) is actually intelligent, that'd be great.

Fun fact: DVD-RAM was specifically designed to be used like a regular random-access block device. I never tried, but you probably could use dd with one of those.
DVD-RAM is extremely unusual for an optical disc format. It's basically the optical equivalent of a floppy or hard disk, with concentric tracks, hard sectors (that you can see), and 100,000+ write cycles.
DVD-RAM never caught on, though, perhaps because it was expensive and USB flash drives aren't.

What's it to him?
In all of Sodom and Gomorrah, there was exactly *one* non-evil family, and they were given ample time and warning to evacuate.
Even if someone does bring a new Sodom and Gomorrah, no innocents will suffer God's precision-guided wrath (unless they look at the explosion), so why worry?

Feature, not bug. The Republicans responsible for this system are well aware that only Republican operatives will use this system to unregister Democratic voters and not vice versa. They're intentionally aiding a criminal voter-fraud scheme.

It never ceases to horrify me that the American public finds “they're weird” persuasive, but not “they're going to either send you to a ‘deportation’ camp or collapse the economy and leave you to starve on the street.”
Weirdness is the least of what's wrong with #Trump and his movement.
(Not blaming the Harris campaign, by the way. I'm blaming the American people for this. Harris & Co are admirably trying to save us from our own stupidity.)

Republicans have promised to sue to block any attempt at replacing Biden. With this Supreme Court, the outcome of those lawsuits is a foregone conclusion.
Replacing Biden would guarantee Trump's victory, and the fall of the United States of America.

Eh? I was never going to not vote for Biden. That would be insane.
Like I said above, I'm not looking to be persuaded to vote. Trump already did that in 2016, when he threatened to start a nuclear war and kill everyone. Scared the hell out of me when he said that.
I'm looking to be persuaded not to lose hope. Hope is what keeps me going.

With the Supreme Court now making up laws out of thin air, I'm not sure that campaigning is going to work any more. They can rule that Trump wins the election anyway, and they just clearly demonstrated intent to do so.
Mutual aid will be futile in the Trump economy. Protests will be illegal. AOC's articles will be rejected by Congressional Republicans.
They are cutting off all nonviolent means of stopping them. I don't think they missed any.

I'm afraid of them slipping further malware into my machine through their HTTPS interception, stealing my credit card number, etc. Or them getting compromised by criminals who then use their interception system to do that.
Anyway, apparently this is a thing in the Philippines, whose government is basically organized crime, from what I've heard, so I guess this is on-brand.

When the #computer was conceived of, its usefulness was obvious. It was very good at a number of tasks that humans are very bad at, like arithmetic and information storage.
Thus, the computer was an excellent addition to the human's toolbox.
“AI” turns this on its head, by attempting to program the computer to do tasks that humans are good at. Not only has it proven very bad at those tasks (see also: pizza glue), it is also useless to the human, who is already good at those tasks.

Once upon a time, in 1987, an unknown British Shakespearean actor was tapped for a part as a starship captain in a new TV series.
He thought he'd make some quick cash, the series would be a flop, and he'd be back to theater before he knew it.
The job did not proceed as planned.
