There are definitely hawks in the upper echelons of military power, but I’ve never met one who didn’t hold the ideals of the United States as sacred.

I believe they will stand against tyranny. At first.

Then they will be replaced, made examples of, forced into retirement, and violently removed. If history is any indication.

I’m no military or historical expert, but I do believe if we’re counting on our military to save the country it is already lost.

How did he say “Party Time”? Ruined the joke for me.

And more to the point… Keep the mouth. Lots of opportunity there.

Very distinctive voice. It has that 3-pack-a-day vibe.

Looks like a Power Puff Girls alternate dimension.

I think the number of Trump supporters who can spell H1B is very few, let alone those that care about it. Maybe some of the grifters are waking up to the fact that they’ll never be as “in-group” as they thought, but that’s a very small minority.

I see some of these leopard-face-eating stories and think, “Will this be the thing that is awful enough to get my MAGA family to admit they were duped?” No. The answer is always no.

If Donald Trump himself leads the jack boot goon squad who kicks in the door of their trailer and drags them out into the street to be lit on fire while Trump smashes a cheeseburger into his face and laughs at them by name, their last choked, rasping words would be about the evil Demon-crats ruining the nation.

We’ve got at least four more years of this and I don’t have the energy for hope.

Your are correct. As far as I’m concerned, the original release was an early beta.

StarCraft. The original. My brain and body is hardwired to play that game. “SCV ready” triggers something. I have a fantasy of retiring in an old folks home and me and a few of my fellow geriatrics fire that shit up and play LAN games until the DNR kicks in.

Thank you for this delicious recipe! My great aunt used to make this all the time for our ritual house painting and it always brought joy to the children. Try adding cinnamon or thumbtacks to the pie for extra zing! God bless!!

It is a lesson I hope you only have to learn once.

Eight years ago I would have agreed. But, I think we’ve demonstrated the short comings of putting authority for our most important policies in the hands of your average citizen.

I don’t have a better answer, mind you. Hopefully someone way further right on the “average citizen” bell curve has better ideas.

Not going to spend a second trying to find the answer, but I wonder if the odds-makers are distinguishing between who wins the election and who is the next leader of the United States. Because those may be different things.

Nononono… not like that.

Aside from coding assistants, the other use case I’ve come across recently is sentiment analysis of large datasets from free text survey responses. Just started exploring it so not sure how well it works yet, but the ridiculous amount of bias I see introduced in manual reviews is just awful. A machine can potentially be less inclined to try fitting summaries to the VP’s presupposed opinion than some lackie interns or self serving consultancy.

It isn’t the calls per se, though I’m not a fan of sales calls. It is the number spoofing that drives me nuts. I’m not an expert but I’ve got to believe allowing scammers to appear as valid phone numbers on caller id has got to be a solvable problem. Even just an indication that the call is coming from a VoIP relay and not my kid’s school’s landline has to be possible, no?

Thanks. Now do phone call spam.

How dare you besmirch the good name of zip disks! There was a good 18 month period in the nineties where they filled a valid use case in the gap between floppy disks and the widespread instantiation of WAN solutions for moving and storing data.

Is this a loss meme?

You are my spirit animal.

Ever hear the term Satanic Panic?

Pretty obscure term. Don’t beat yourself up.
