Most countries are corrupt backwards dictatorships… So that might be the best standard to use.

He’s a good example of a shallow fake.

Putin says Russia and North Korea will help each other if attacked, taking ties to a ‘new level’ (www.cnn.com)

Vladimir Putin said Russia and North Korea have ramped up ties to a “new level,” pledging to help each other if either nation is attacked in a “breakthrough” new partnership announced during the Russian president’s rare visit to the reclusive state....

DarkCloud ,

Is this a back channel so China can use North Korea as a loading bay for its trade with Russia, which the US recently warned it to stop.

So plausible deniability insurance.

I’m not sure why they tried this.

‘We made a VR games headset, but replaced the games with office related programs, like calenders and notepads’

Did any of them ever use an Oculus Quest? Like, why did they try this? Is this Apple’s Google Glass moment? Did they really think that if you pay enough youtubers to wear it in public, normal people would magically go into car-level debt to emulate them?

In fact, I’ll go as far as to say this campaign and price point was a bigger mistake, and a louder failure than Google Glasses.

DarkCloud ,

“Hey look what we could do at six times the price point” isn’t a flex, it’s stupidity.

Like why not just release Apple brand Skis, or team up with Nike and make some shoes, or Jewelry if you want to do high priced stuff rich idiots pay for.

DarkCloud ,

Could just be a compact model, the big one could just be stupidly pointing out the obvious to a far more advanced compact model that’s just given a lecture on the history of robotic processors.

The compact advanced model might just be about to say “Very good, I’m glad you were listening”.

DarkCloud ,

Wait, I think I’m experiencing the Mandello effect…

DarkCloud ,

I use the cheapest serrated knives, they come in a set of four, and are idiots who each take a tiny bite of food when you move them along.

… perhaps they’re not even knives, but are wood saws for food.

Your grandfather’s knives could whisper to them 24/7 until their bodies rust, they’d still just be my little idiots who cost four dollars and only cut when I move them along.

And cut they do, just with no sense of danger or spite, they only take their tiny portions and giggle until it’s their turn again. Which is only when I move them, back and forth until they get through.

Alex Jones’ personal assets to be sold to pay $1.5B Sandy Hook debt. Company bankruptcy is dismissed (apnews.com)

A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax....

DarkCloud ,

How’s he gonna pay the rest of the $1.499 billion though?

DarkCloud ,

C++ is focused on getting a strong degree of root control over the hardware of lots of systems. Which is part of why it’s difficult.

Windows 11 has been a big wake up call for consumers.

Okay, so what’s the plan?

DarkCloud ,

Sausage, eggs on toast, bacon, and a glass of milk.

Borrowing tactics from Russia.

Get off the nationalist drugs.

Trofim Lysenko killed the most people under Communism, through famine. Most of the deaths under communism have been due to famines and misconceptions about farming.

…and more were killed by Capitalism in the Belgian Congo and by The British East India company alone. Both of which were run as Capitalist ventures.

DarkCloud ,

Doesn’t necessarily make images load though, so I still have no idea what meme everyone is commenting on.

They’d probably be best off with PCs and a LAN in their bedrooms, and a console room elsewhere.

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections (yle.fi)

Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

DarkCloud ,

What I hear is that some European countries are leaning right on over-immigration and are voting on the basis of that issue.

Countries that aren’t going through that, aren’t voting right.

France and Germany were, so they went right. Portugal and Finland weren’t, so they went left.

The police union is one of the strongest in America, most Presidential candidates make promises to them during their election campaign.

…probably because of their roll in riot supression. Rulers don’t want that service faltering on them at an inopportune moment.

DarkCloud ,

Or just attack Russia regardless of them claiming you’re not allowed to?

America isn’t pushing the button, they’re just doing the usual thing of selling weapons.

It’s Russia’s fault they’re in this thing. They went full border war using their own citizens - when under Pax Americana you’re only supposed to do proxy wars in places not near you.

Russia has been doing that in Africa, their mistake has been doing it with their own guys on their own border.

Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNN (edition.cnn.com)

Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, a state attorney told Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday during a first-ever hearing about the facility where prisoners from Gaza have allegedly been held under conditions of extreme abuse....

DarkCloud ,

Secret camps with abuses during a racially motivated genocide - remember Israel’s unofficial motto: “Never again to us…” - but they’re seemingly okay doing it to others.

Now welcoming the feds to what everyone else has known for years now.

…and it’s all subconscious representations of feelings about the internet.

It makes some users into toilet brained idiots. Perverts looking to gorge themselves on internet filth.

It reveals people as political agents if governments.

It shows some are just “camera men” viewers, recorders, uploaders, and others are speakers trying to say something.

It questions what can be ridiculous in this new arena - if anything in an age defined by the scale of your “influence”… And how that causes our drama chips to go haywire.

The art style is known as Machinima, and dates back to the early 90s.

Humans actually have trouble saying things that aren’t meaningful - our subconscious tends to always have something to say due to always having to hold things back. It’s just who we are.

DarkCloud ,

The scary thing is that I’m sure they’re proud of this fact.

Trump’s new political party is far worse, he’s basing it around revenge…

…google “Trump Lemon Party” for pictures of the event launch held last Saturday night.

DarkCloud ,

Neanderthals and others existed contemporaneously didn’t they…

… but also, so many parts of our brain are needed to do facial recognition that we’re prone to seeing faces where there are none…

…so it’s possible that what we’re on the watch for is other humans trying to ambush us, which means regular people hiding = uncanny valley = fear.

DarkCloud ,

Yes it probably can… CAPTCHAs don’t work based on your answers (many types you can answer wrong and still sometimes pass) - they work by tracking your mouses movements and timing and deciding whether they human-like.

Why are they called “Technicals” is it short for anything?

Edit: yep, “non-standard tactical vehicle” (NSTV) in US millitary terms… Weird that that term doesn’t have the word “technical” in it though.

DarkCloud ,

Also, wouldn’t increasing the population cause more inflation. Like if you look at Japans decline in Japanese born citizens it overlaps with the “lost years” of economic growth, which was a surprisingly stable period where depreciation ruled the economy… Prices for every day items were stable for decades on end.

DarkCloud ,

You don’t want to pay ever increasing prices on one of the most expensive undertakings a person (or couple) can do… An undertaking which may also act to increase inflation its self!?

DarkCloud ,

“There’s the pope sitting in the trailer bed of that pick up”

Is this the dignified option he wants? It’s certainly accurate.

It’s probably the formic acid they have as blood… If you crush them then smell the remains it’s pretty strong and specific.

Anyone can smell crushed ants.

From how far away?

They why, it’s a verb now! You can why too.

Today’s tech business model:

First you get the power, then you extort the money.

DarkCloud ,

“AI” has always been like this… It’s not sentient or rational… It’s not thinking it’s just averaging language… It’s not really AI, it’s a language model.

DarkCloud ,

Calculators, books, dna, wildfires and matter too. Expand a definition enough and it becomes less meaningful.

…and “artificial” as well as “intelligence” weren’t all that well defined to begin with.

The one where the Nazis found an Antarctic hole into a hollow earth world with aliens/lizards inside it… And that’s where they were getting their tech.

DarkCloud ,

There are non-binary people who still believe genders can suit others, and even be played with as forms of role play …and there are also examples of null states, such as nullos and asexuals…

…so non-binary doesn’t necessarily make a new binary if they still believe gender is fine for others, or as a role play.

A better way to think about it might be as a gender spectrum or quadratic continuum of varied characteristics and overlapping body forms and sexual preferences/behaviour.

…queer.

DarkCloud ,

That’s very clever. Maths checks out.
