Honestly, that’d very probably be edible and delicious

That’s also how the Cyrillic alphabet came to be

I mean, aren’t they? In a moral, ethical, and social stance, don’t they share in the blame?

I like baszite. I’m not in love with it, but it does most things I want it to do right out of the box, and it comes with steam installed which is convenient

You can literally train them on animal languages. They’re language models, their primary attribute is modeling a language

And they are very good at it

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Normally I’m just like “heh” and scroll past… But right now

What’s his name? What’s his story? Tell me more about this duck (he better not have killed anyone)

Yes. Everything is monitored, and it sucks. We’ve internalized it even, you can’t so much as have a hobby without dumping money into it to signal you take it seriously

Okay, let’s say you have a fuel injected car, but instead of using the 02 sensor to decide the fuel air mixture, it just squirts the same amount of gas every time.

The hardware might be able to achieve 400 hp, but the software means it only ever achieves 50 hp

It’s like that. The software drives the hardware. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is, the software is the brain of the operation - if the software doesn’t know how to utilize the hardware properly, you’re going to have piss poor performance

Driver’s? They literally drive the hardware your computer is using

Probably at least some of us… There’s a lot of us, and given a year and a few acres anyone with an almanac would have a shot

It’s likely it’ll be a lot more, and we just have a dark age

Look up the Technocracy movement. These ideas have been floating around in certain groups for a while… Such as the heritage foundation

They’re scared. Of course they are.

Whether they hated Maduro or not, they’ve been forced into limbo

What happens next? No one fucking knows, no one has a plan, because Trump might come back for round 2 and decapitate the chain of succession or make an ultimatum

It must be terrifying. For all my brother’s and sister’s in Venezuela, stay strong, stay safe, and be ready to take advantage of opportunities

Yeah, a fighter jet with refuels could chase the sunlight for quite a while. At some point jets need maintenance though, but there would be plenty enough wiggle room to land and change jets, we can beat Earth’s rotation

So yeah, sure, it’s absolutely possible

But one option is hygienic, the other two are convenience. Fuck convenience, put the lid down and wash your hands, it’s for everyone’s sake

You are correct, I did mean lid down too

It does make a difference, it means measurably less poo bacteria on places like your tooth brush

But seat (edit: I meant lid) down is more hygienic when you flush. It isv the morally situation superior position

I tell myself that the grief is me feeling bad for myself.

How did they go? Was it mercifully fast or drawn out? Was it painful? Were they ready?

And so I try to channel my grief though empathy for their pain rather then focusing on my own feelings of mood

I’m trying to move to a better area, one where things can get better locally

Even if the country ends, we’re not all going to die. We’re going to have to organize locally, and I’d rather be somewhere where I can do that
