I don’t feel valued because I bring no value to anyone in my life. Internet strangers asking questions do not count into that lol

Well, sure it does. That’s the reason we’re all here, isn’t it? Maybe not for you in particular, but for the Lemmy community. Internet strangers asking questions that you then answer and spark discussion is kind of THE value that any of us bring to this place. People asking questions and having discussions and sharing their own perspectives and life experiences is like, 80% of the whole internet. It’s what brought us into the global awareness that we have today.

The people specifically elected and appointed to hold him responsible to his oaths of office have abdicated their duty.

Many of the rest of us are busy being shot, arrested, and/or deported about it.

Because he doesn’t know any better. He is, truly and actually, one of the dumbest motherfuckers to ever failson his way into a position of power, and this is backed up by testimony of his teachers.

An 8 year old child, or even ChatGPT, can reliably predict his actions in advance because he really is actually that simple. He has specific reactions to specific stimuli that can always be gamed because they’re always the same. Guy operates like one of the ghosts in Pac-Man. If you know how his actions are wired you can lead him by the nose down whatever path you want.

His investors and handlers know this and use it to push their agendas. Everyone else makes the mistake of trying to speak at him like he’s a sapient creature, and that fails to get results because he doesn’t operate like a sapient creature does.

I ran Lich path on my first run of WOTR and it might be my favorite CRPG experience I’ve ever played. You’re evil, but you’re lawful evil, and the game gives you the opportunity to lean more lawful which I did. Excellent example of being smart evil instead of stupid evil which is exactly how I think a proper lich should be portrayed.

My first name is a random set of numbers and letters and other alphanumerics that changes hourly forever

My last name, a thousand vowels fading down a sinkhole to a sussurus, couldn’t just be John Doe or Bingo

My address, a made up language written out in living glyphs, lifted from demonic literature and religious text

Telephone uncovered by purveyors of the Ouija, then checked against the CBGB women’s room graffiti

My social, a sudoku

My age is obscure

My ‘in-case-of-emergency’ is in the daisies chasing birds

Employed by trillionaires with perfect teeth and pores, and people who open doors for the people who open doors

My medical history is a course at SUNY Buffalo

Charlatan psychiatry and troubleshooting undertow

Nervous in the service still,

I’m burger meat and purple pills

Sure you will

Fuck me, even the magical creatures are gaming the metrics now? We truly are in the end times

This requires a level of pre-planning that I am only sometimes capable of.

Right, that’s all good. Now you have to get a couple of low-ranking servicemen to carry out every step of that hundred page manual to the letter on each of their several dozen machines, daily, after they’ve been deployed for an ongoing 10 months because their superiors are morons, and are further scheduled to become the longest running carrier deployment of all time at over a year of deploy time, because their superiors are morons.

I’d believe that some corners were cut in these servicemen’s duty, and it just happened to be one too many corners one too many times. The men are fatigued, they want to get off the ship. It’s possible these corners were even cut on purpose with exactly this result in mind in an attempt to get them off the ship.

Sure. This comment thread is about class mobility in the West though.

But, fact is, it seems it’s the same everywhere.

Throughout pretty much all of human history it’s been apparent that the “nobles” class has been, at best, more trouble than they’re worth; and at worst, the instigating spark that creates a nation-destroying blaze.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who has read a history book that the American nobleman is equally as useless and destructive as his counterpart anywhere else.

That exact Linux kernel mailing list was pretty likely fed into the AI as training data.

People who own this car probably do care to fix the problems, they just don’t have the money that’s required to do so.

Oligarchs have the money, they just don’t have the desire.

Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

I think it is likely that the Ukraine war will be widely considered the beginning of a series of events that will later be labeled “the ramp up to WWIII”, of which this is an indirect extension.

They aren’t defending shit
