Why do we need AI when Terrance Howard already solved this by properly unfolding the flower of life

I read this in Michael Hudsons voice, then saw in the link that it was a quote from him, lol.

It’s definitely well worth the time to read Hudsons analysis if anyone finds this stuff interesting and wants to learn more.

If an aircraft carrier deployment extends beyond 9 months they have to pay the crew extra money every week, I’ve been part and privy to a half dozen carrier deployments and all but a couple have ended literally the day before that extra pay takes place. When I see that this deployment was extended twice to the 9 month cap I’d guess that the extra money paid to sailors is a factor as well. That and the Ike is a pile of shit and I can’t imagine the crew is having an easy time keeping it operational enough to meet their genocide cover mission requirements.

The new norm will be pricing is final once it’s rung up, until then, it’s variable. The only other way I see it going is that these electronic labels fall into disrepair or they generally don’t function as intended, and then the store shifts back to paper labels to save money, but keep the surge pricing model.

Stores are going to have to replace these digital labels as they age I can’t imagine them lasting any longer than like four years.

I have only one coworker I talk to and he’s well read on Black American history, especially labor and civil rights struggles so we have great conversations about race and labor in the unites states. Then a few weeks ago conversation shifts to Palestine and he has the most insane shit takes, and I’m called antisemitic for giving historical context to Palestines actions. I guess he sensed that one went too far because he tried to pull it back by claiming that “the Jews run Hollywood” and then got upset when I told him that was actually antisemitic as fuck.

A few days ago he brings up the whole Terrence Howard, 1x1=2 thing. Not that harmful in the grand scheme, but this man does not know the difference fundamentally between addition and multiplication.

Lately I try to stick to strictly work or Union related things, I peeked behind one curtain and I think that’s enough to settle fully into work hermit.

From what I understood of the show, Vault-Tech’s idea was if they nuke the world they get rid of all competition. If they are the ones dropping the bombs themselves, they can prepare ahead of time for survival and come out ready to dominate a completely “reset” market. It’s a sort of zero sum game; if you assume that another company will have the same idea, and you assume that they will also drop bombs after themselves preparing for the fallout and recovery, then you would want to be the first to prepare and drop the bombs. The show could have explored all of the logical fallacies with this, but they didn’t so it’s unsatisfactory in the greater theme.

I completely agree that it’s a very superficial and lazy critique of capitalism, bordering on offensive. It is slop, the only thing intentional about it is appealing to a broad audience and making profit.

if you really thought our democracy was unsalvageable you’d be training in the woods to shoot immigrants

Dem libs are the exact same as Rep. libs below the thin blue coating.

I was agreeing and sharing a similar example.
