Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

This new cycle of violence was all too predictable. For months, Israeli officials had signalled an escalation of their campaign against Hezbollah. Despite a ceasefire that ended a devastating 13-month war in 2024, Israel had continued with its bombing of Lebanon almost every day, saying the group was trying to rebuild its capabilities.
Hezbollah, however, had remained quiet, aware that any move would inevitably be met with a powerful retaliation.

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Our national, peaceful movement is only getting bigger!

Reminder that Trump is receiving some kind of ongoing medical treatment that includes a huge number of blood draws &/or IV infusions, he’s got something on his neck, he’s got dementia, & we know nothing about his diagnoses, treatment (including medications & side effects), capacity, or prognosis

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

we talk about carcinization, but never about the many, many times plants have invented the β€œtree.”

Tree is not a kind of plant, it is a thing plats do, and they are by and large unrelated.

β€œWe bombed Iran because we knew for sure that Israel was going to attack Iran and then Iran was going to retaliate against us” Is not the thought process slam dunk he think it is.

Because, and this is key, a ceasefire in US/Israel terms is that you cease, we fire.

The question that very easily blows up all this double-talk is: β€œWould it be an act of war if another country did this to us?” Because OF COURSE it would.
