Had to dig deep to find anything today that was even remotely positive, and while I think 100k is way too little in compensation for upending a Nevada citizen’s life in such a demonizing and petty way, it’s hopefully enough for this person to get back on their feet and re-right the ship.

And it pleases me when ideologues have to admit they’re wrong.

He’s probably getting paid for all the endorsements too. After all, he literally sold the Resolute Desk for ad space to Goya.

Thank you for the reply. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

It’s true.

Just try having a discussion about Age or ID Verification or the Brave Browser and see how quickly you get dogpiled and downvoted to hell if what you think isn’t the accepted orthodoxy.

You’re right. It’s almost the line word-for-word.

Are we sure it wasn’t AI?

It could happen, but I doubt it. The last time the US had a legitimate anti-war movement, it was in large part due to the draft.

Nothing more American than a draft dodger sending others to die.

“It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it works out for him.”

This is the kind of stuff I think about whenever a Democrat tries to tell me that Biden or Obama were powerless.

They could have done this to the makers of assault rifles in order to spur greater regulation in the wake of mass shootings. After all, they’re certainly contracted with various federal entities.

That is, if they gave a shit.

“hacked”

I’d love to think that, but this is America, where basic geography might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics to most people.

I don’t know enough to say for sure, but that’s interesting info.

Awesome, thank you for the info!

My fave used to be Plesiosaur, because I was mad into cryptozoology stories as a kid, and Nessie and Mokele Mbembe are (according to legend) potentially dinosaurs who survived the meteor.

But I no longer believe that, and am a little annoyed that my schoolteachers didn’t teach me a little extra skepticism.

I read somewhere that Anthropic has $18,000,000,000 in commitments from last year alone, so conceivably, they can stand to lose a mere $200,000,000 and it won’t create a huge issue for them in the short term.

I hope that’s how they’re looking at it.

YES.

Thank you.

I love learning about dinosaurs. My favorite is the Ankylosaurus. What’s yours?

I think that’s a very easy thing to say, but for the younger generations, using social media isn’t too dissimilar from breathing. It’s just something you do.

It’s certainly a possibility, no doubt.

I just read the article and couldn’t get past my first thought being ‘Florida Man’, because I have no good reason to think some dumbass Floridian wouldn’t do this.

Just make that dinosaur minipig-sized and you have a deal.

You can go have pointless arguments about it with someone else.

I could get behind this.
