Yup but also, the idea of submarines providing rescue went out the window. Even the nazis were trying to rescue people at one point, and the allies attacked them after they broadcasted their rescue attempts

The US has the most powerful military in the world. This was just cruelty
Less than half of Americans read a book a year
48.5 percent of adults reported having read at least one book in the past year

And my guess is the vast majority of those that are reading are mostly scooping books from booktok (literary smut) or something off the New York Times bestseller lists
Plus, it’s almost certain that this was Mossad cashing in their Epstein chips at the right moment so they could fire their huge strike but also pull the us alongside like “they did it too”
You can be certain Mossad has had this as a war plan for years and they finally got their payment from Epstein to sign off on it
I haven’t smoked or consumed thc in a year. I took a 10mg edible with a friend a week ago and we went to a hockey game and I felt like my stoned college days laughing about stadium hot dogs. Everyone is different. But tolerance builds more and more the more you consume and more frequently
“The politics are important because they might affect your investments”
Either that or they were deployed close enough to planned missile strikes, and deemed “acceptable loss” if the balance was killing the leader of Iran
Well, rainbow tables are really valuable in certain disciplines, just not those rainbow tables
I think the answer is pretty complex and gets into why online communities in general become hostile, not just Reddit.
First off, there are incredible amounts of money and effort being spent to make people feel tribal and hate each other. Destabilization happens by convincing people that those next to them are at fault for their woes, and ensuring they don’t look up at the strings being pulled.
Second, those who generally aren’t hostile naturally don’t gravitate to places that are, so the gravity of hostility increases by hostile people being there and echoing hostility to those they perceive to be being hostile to them, even if the sentiment is “be less hostile.” It’s baked into meme culture. “Touch grass” is genuinely like “hey go outside, take a breath” at its core, but is now an insult or hostility that gets a reaction of further hostility.
Third, the world is really fucking shitty in ways outside of most people’s control. You can vote, martyr, donate, but generally the world has gotten to a close point to 100s of sci fi stories we’ve written warn us about, and so some people are just doing what the money in item one is spending, the conditioning works. Feels warm to hate someone. But then for those on the opposite they want to hate what they consider stupid.
That being said, people are genuinely shitty often, and it’s foolish to pretend that’s not the case. Open source has often been full of pettiness and bickering. Many a GitHub threads are just arguing about someone who wants a feature and is mad at volunteer developers for not delivering it. I could go on a tirade but I’ll end there
well you eyedrop it into your butthole and then expose your butthole to the sun so the positive solar energy modifies it primally because we’re all made of starlight and that’s just how it works
I haven’t seen how Lemmy responds to troubleshooting requests about Linux. But I remember some Linux Reddit communities being full of vitriol of like “don’t use things you don’t understand” or like “distro? version? Hardware specs? Logs? Did you even search?” Which I believe led to people just starting out uncomfortable with asking for help there
lol nvm he sold out in under 24 hours

Agreed, though 14 hours ago Sam Altman was like “we agree with those lines”
https://www.axios.com/2026/02/27/altman-openai-anthropic-pentagon
Then less than 24 hours he’s already struck a deal with the military. So it’s certainly giving overt praise to Anthropic, but at the same time here we are
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/27/tech/openai-pentagon-deal-ai-systems
Yeah most likely Sam Altman just spun up a side company and copied over the entire model weights and sold it to the government in either a singular purchase/acquisition or license and then can say “well they’re not using OpenAI APIs”
Ah the ol’ crosshair setup
Agreed. Also I specifically said dollars because someone trying to defend pedophiles got so flustered she referred to her king after her personal attacks failed an in honor of him completely threw out numbers in a market she clearly does not understand that are in no way helping those in the us that truly need help
but DIDN’T THE DOW BREAK 50,000 DOLLARS
But also implemented incredibly stupidly. You are purchasing a url in a blockchain that points to a server a singular person or org owns in most cases. That gets rid of any point of the blockchain. With enough money I just buy that server, the image url you purchased is now under my control and now it’s porn or something unless you pay me to restore it. There were very few NFTs where the actual thing you’re buying is on a distributed blockchain rather than a pointer to a centralized and privately owned server. In programming terms it’s what rust does to prevent bad pointers with https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
