Is it, though?

I don’t even think it’s intended to be about that. I don’t think it’s that deep.

I think it’s just, “they always ask this question, no matter what.”

Well, shit.

So much for the Cold War.

The European people really shouldn’t want to use their own military anyway. Much better to just continue being America’s bitch (as America, and everyone else, slides into fascism.)

I don’t see any danger here at all.

I like how we said the same thing, but I got downvoted for it because I didn’t bury the lede.

I don’t think I can get away from Windows, as a professional .NET developer

Because you have to use VS Code instead of VS? You can always deploy to a Windows VM if you need to be sure IIS works. Though everything will just run on dotnet and nginx through a reverse proxy if you want to stay within Linux.

They’re not trying to. They’re mostly trying to replace the need for wages and salaries.

The fact that they’re doing it with effectively “we have wage slaves at home” leads to your point.

AI can be a great tool. As an assistant. As a fancy search engine. And sometimes to do the most menial parts of jobs. But it doesn’t directly replace people. Even in the case of taking fast food orders, first that’s not a whole job, and second, it still needs supervision. It’s a tool.

anti-China and anti-Russia

Uh huh. Yeah okay.

We’ve had enough projection for a lifetime this decade.

Remember r/reddit ?

Reddit removed every comment he had ever made, including wonderful and well cited rebuttals of the right-wing bigotry of the day.

Probably more of the motivation than the listed offense.

I mean, they started with “a few of”.

For those who didn’t know,

(AI)
A “bunny boiler” is a slang term for a dangerously obsessive, vengeful person (usually a woman) spurned by a lover, originating from the iconic 1987 film Fatal Attraction, where Glenn Close’s character boils a pet rabbit to terrorize her ex-lover’s family. The term describes an unstable individual prone to extreme, often violent, emotional outbursts after rejection, becoming a cultural shorthand for such behavior.

He was shot? I don’t remember that.

He was shot near, maybe.

If you treat it as spicy search it works pretty great though.

They fixed that. It’s part of why Schumer caved. The lower influence of the DNC in primaries meant he couldn’t use that power to whip votes and keep control of the party.

I’m glad you’ve noticed.

Though I do agree that Schumer should have fought more instead of capitulating. The feds who were suffering were still up for the fight.

Then they should leave Ukraine.

Is it the ones blowing the dog whistle or the ones hearing it that are too dumb to make it subtle?

That one doesn’t fit their current objectives.

Their current objective is Dems are responsible for everything the Republicans do.

I mean, I was going to make this joke, but this kind of ruins it. Though, maybe if the joke is seen first…
