The Democrats are complicit in this moment. The two party system is a farce. Trump and Bill Clinton have far more in common than any of us and any billionaire.

ICE detains four children from Minnesota school district, school officials say U.S. immigration authorities detained at least four children including a 5-year-old from a Minneapolis-area school district this month, school district officials said on Thursday.

The horrific stories of the Trump admin’s militarized immigration enforcement are every parent’s worst nightmare.

ICE must immediately stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces.

ICE is what happens when little boys grow up only playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and don't balance it out with silly little games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Not a drop of whimsy to be found in these broken men.

Fired Rockstar Employees Denied Pay by UK Judge The 31 staffers argued they were dismissed for unionizing. Rockstar said they were fired for leaking information in an online chat group.

BREAKING: A UK judge has *denied* interim pay to the 31 employees fired by Rockstar Games last year, saying she "was unable to conclude that it appears likely that the tribunal will find that the principal reason for the claimants’ dismissal" was union organizing www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I provide quite a bit of evidence and it resolves several problems I had with the narrative concerning the big plot twist. I hope you enjoy it, though it's one of my earliest videos so production values are rough.

This is the best argument against AI usage for the majority of tasks, and the only one that concerns me when I see a company like Larian opting in to using it. Even if it is just as a hedge against falling behind future technology.

Where do you see "forcing" in any of that? I'm genuinely curious because based on everything Swen said, it's a tool that they can opt-in to use.

Larian is hiring... Amazon, EA, Ubisoft, and pretty much every other major company is doing layoffs. You're barking at the wrong company.

Swen sounds as concerned about AI as most of us are and made it clear it's not being used to replace anyone. Larian is hiring when most are firing. The idea that they were "pushing AI" on employees is a misreading of the original text, and a gross misreading in light of this context.

Still the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Next someone will try to convince me Newsom isn't a right wing neo-liberal who created death squads to oust the homeless.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside.
The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years.
If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed.

US Tourism is dead.

As indicated prior, our PvE realms will soon have Crossfaction Battlegrounds enabled.
This means that players, depending on team imbalance in a given Battleground, may end up fighting for the opposite faction for that game to increase fairness and reduce queue times.
