They probably do, but:

• at this point if surfaced they’ll be claimed as ai- generated
• his sycos don’t care at all. Nothing he could do would ever sway their opinion, and you can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t arrive at using reason in the first place. It’s very much a ‘feeling’ thing instead of facts.

We might simply get saddled with one of his failsons or his sex do-uhh, daughter.

Slow, buggy, annoying interface, hogs extreme amounts of resources locally, can be used to spy on its users.

What’s not to like? It’s basically how Elon envisions X, an “everything app” that is actually good at nothing specific.

I don’t think it’s “compromat”. They just bankrolled his entire real estate empire since at least the 80’s. That creates a certain debt to be repaid.

Trump was never under the impression that anyone is his friend. All his relationships, including to his wife and biological children, are transactional.

Russia has dirt on him and has for a loooong time. That’s why Putin doesn’t need to suck his dick like the rest of the world’s wannabe dictators do.

As one of the few people on the planet who has never played it, this makes it infinitely more intriguing…

We’re already seeing games coming out which have a soft requirement for DLLS or FSR simply due to how incredibly unoptimized they are.

Awesome! If I can ever afford a card with frame generation, that is. Looking increasingly unlikely though.

Our national tv channel is lawfully barred from running commercials.

They just changed the definition of ads they run to “messages of commercial importance” or some dumb shit like that. And just like that, ads on the national channel are suddenly a-ok

Well, at this point I’m just rooting for nature to take its course, which it will.

I don’t want to live on a planet where these are the kind of people who decide, well, everything.

Doesn’t look like I’ll have much choice though.

Wabi-Sabi it is!

Spite is a strong motivator.

All of Eu, starting with Poland and the Baltics.

Something tells me this day will eventually live in greater infamy than 9/11.

Like in 2230, provided there is still something resembling the human race, “9/11” will be just another boring date to memorize together with shit like the Alamo w/e.

The day the republic fell, however, will be a lot more recognizable and memorable.

248 years. Empires “always” last around ~250 (Let’s ignore the Romans for now) so we’re exactly on time.

Google project Pluto. It was only marginally less crazy than project Sundial.

Meh, I prefer SLAM instead. What’s the fun in building a superweapon if you can never use it?

It’s more like all pretense is gone now. Before, there was this veneer of legitimacy. Now, it’s straight up fascism. It’s a matter of image projection.

I feel sorry for the poor fuckers. They likely can’t even make use of the defection process due to the language barrier. How many NK’s do you think understand Russian or Ukrainian?

Let’s hope they don’t have to suffer long. They won’t make a dent in UA’s defenses though.
