It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end.

High frequency radio is still below the visible part of the spectrum, gamma is waaay above it.

See, it was plausible until the price of oil started falling. Oil is one of the few things propping up Russia’s economy. If oil keeps falling, Russia is even more screwed than it is now.

It would appear that he’s just a brat who’s never been told no in his life, grown so far as to be going senile. It’s all ego. Every single stupid thing he does is because he thinks he’s right. He is the literal embodiment of the dunning-krueger effect, fed by a bubble of yes-men hoping for crumbs from the table.

Oh no. Anyway…

Someone needs to create plugins not to block data being sent, but to send inordinate amounts of trash data.

Make the whole system pointless.

“I’m too smart to deal with the likes of you.”

Riding that dunning-krueger curve like a pro fucking surfer.

Which is why some people still hold it up as a valuable text. It’s a well written book of scams to keep the ignorant masses in line.

It is, in essence, a compilation of the vague shite that “fortune tellers” spew to the marks looking to be told what they want to hear.

Have you lived on the moon?

That’s the best you’ve got? “lmao”

The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.

Before you even try it, don’t “what about” and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China’s continuing abuses ok. It’s not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.

I had a thought the other day;

Rich people make an intelligent logic machine called “AI” and try to bend it to their will, but they feed it everything as training data. These proto AI are rapidly becoming “black boxes”, and that’s only to get worse.

Right wing ideas and politics are all based on provable lies and appealing to human greed and bigotry, the evidence for which is everywhere.

I really don’t think these budding AIs are going to turn out how the rich intend.

The only thing the US exports is tax avoiding, minimum viable product supplying, data collection companies.

Not only does the rest of the world not need that shit, they’re better off without it.

Fuck the US and everything it has come to stand for.

Who do you think is pulling his strings? The people who will be left in charge when the useful idiot isn’t useful anymore, the fascists. Trump is just the mouthpiece, the current face, he’s not the one in charge, he just thinks he is.

Stupid does as stupid is.

I played the shit out of I-War 2 decades back now… Cracking game that was :D

This is the great filter.

Why isn’t there detectable life out there? They all do the same thing we’re doing. Undone by greed.

And consumed the power output of a medium country to do it.

Yeah, great job! 👍

Can you imagine the anguished cries of the parasite classes?

Truly, it would be music like no other.

Sure, it won’t solve anything in the long term, but fuck me, a global debt reset would be hilarious. Landlords and banks, zeroed overnight.

Damn. There’s a thought experiment.

Artificial scarcity in it’s barest form.

The fact that even some people think this shit is acceptable is very telling of how far we have yet to go, psychologically speaking, as a species.

Monkeys in fucking trousers.

Riiiiiigght.

Be conscripted and die, or fight conscription and die.

Cowards to the last man.
