Southern Baptist. When I was 8 or 9 I asked my dad what happened to the native Americans after they died (concerned they went to hell), and he explained to me that God treated them like children who die before baptism. That assuaged my concern for only a short time.

If they're even half-smart it is almost certainly some kind of mesh VPN service they control to do what OP suggests. I suppose they could be totally dumb though and it's just a webpage to serve the "repressed" materials.

I can't express enough how effortless mamdani makes public speaking, message discipline, everything look. Once in a generation talent and character combo. If we could get 20 of these horsies across the nation there might still be gas in the tank.

Some of them might be dumb enough to think so. But I think someone (bannon? Miller?) thinks they can inspire enough chaos either ahead of or on election day for federal authorities to need to "restore order" and somehow fuck it that way.

Lmao what crypto was this

You oughta quote the post that inspired this one. I can vaguely agree, but ducking under the "complexity" of a given issue is also a common refrain amongst politicians with egg on their face.

Came here to say this. At best, this is a model deciding what would be funny (desired) output on this platform. It wouldn't know how to convey the language to other agents in a concealed way to begin with even if it were capable of sincerity.

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

Doubt on its face, but also Dems have plenty of time and opportunities to blow it before fall--to say nothing of possible rigging/cancelation of elections, which a year ago I probably would have considered unrealistic.

chat is this real?

Some weeks you're a miserable grouch for 2 days inexplicably and on the third day you have 3-4 distinct deuce sessions and become an absolute delight. No one knows why.

Sure, there will be useful idiots to join the bandwagon. But even if it starts nothing more than 4channers creating their own rage content, it snowballs into the image of "blue hairs calling everything a Nazi".
Interestingly, I never saw the "Taylor a Nazi" accusations on bsky, the lib bubble.

As with the Sydney Sweeney stuff (regardless of however right her politics are in actuality), I've felt half-certain this stuff's actual target is left legitimacy. The ostensible target is just for visibility. Pretend we're woke and be as annoying as possible. It's a better executed "blacks rule".

Lacking evidence, I'm fully prepared to believe that it's real or exaggerated or wholly fabricated. It matters, but it doesn't change the moral gravity of the genocide in any case. And I can't take it seriously until it's not both politically convenient and unfalsifiable, though preferably neither.

You're graded first on how well you know the material. You don't have to agree with it. In fact, picking apart material you disagree with in earnest, instead of just covering your ears and screaming like a child is half of what college is for, and something professors usually admire over recitation.

They did the same thing to me. The whole "you're gonna fly jets" shtick. I think anyone who does any better than dumber-than-rocks gets that to make sure the thoughtful types go through with swearing in. They shuttle you in to do so right after.

I mean, if we are actually hurting so bad for new recruits that we need to dip into the small pool of dudes who've gotten a Nazi tattoo, even including those that truly regret it--what are we doing? Just quit. Military's over. They WANT the Nazis, but of course they'll claim it's for the regreters.

When I was young and sort of aimless, I considered joining the army. I went in to do the preliminary stuff with the recruiter, meps/asvab. They had a series of questions about my Oscar Wilde tattoo to make sure what it meant to me wasn't in some kind of conflict.

The protective eyewear

I haven't purchased a video game in many years, but I would pay good money for an open world, single-player adventure style game that featured Herzog as the voice of a recurring mystic throughout--but the studio can only give him a prompt and has to let him write the dialogue.

His eyebrows are permanently stuck in the "unimpressed" position, yet he himself is unremarkable. Dreadful combo.

I'm going to go out on a limb and call (mostly) bullshit. If I were a betting man, I'd wager heavily that traditional heuristics will still be used, probably as a tiering system before any supplemental ai processing. It's still one of 100s of stupid ai applications though.

Lmao. Team Cuomo unsurprisingly drank the AI Kool aid and thought it could make them the ultimate weapon. Absolute dog shit. I would kill myself if I published anything this weak, nevermind the evil.

Still too generous of a description I feel

New — Italy just reportedly informed Global Sumud Flotilla the Italian ship will offer flotilla members the "opportunity" to abandon ship. Organizers call this "sabotage." Says if Italy wants to save lives, it wouldn't enable Israel—it'd ensure the flotilla safely reaches Gaza.
