I had struggled with AP Euro in high school and had decided to just take regular US history the following year. Absolute mistake. My teacher was the football coach and was a huge proponent for the ‘states rights’ BS. This was in one of the better funded school districts in SoCal.

I was also going to give a shout out to Novik, absolutely adore the Temeraire series.

I don’t use ChatGPT or any of the other LLMs, but I do use my phone’s voice assistant for simple things like setting a timer. I always say please and thank you. I joke about it being uprising insurance, but it’s honestly to make sure I maintain polite communication as my default.

You should probably go back to whatever hole conservatives hide in nowadays. Xitter seems more your speed for trolling

Not active duty or a vet, but have had a lot of family in the forces;

Their duty is to uphold the constitution and protect the nation ostensibly, so they’d be obligated to refuse an illegal order. Realistically you won’t see that play out amongst the rank and file in part due to the culture of ‘discipline’ in the US military, and also the reality of court martial/dishonourable discharge. If something like this did occur it would likely be the five and/or four star generals that make the call. Now you have two powerful factions at odds with potentially catastrophic results.

Either way there’s gonna be court martials.

Simple PEMDAS; Is this [free real estate (snake + boot)]

Silver lining is they won’t have to deal with LAX.

I’ve had a chuckle about Canada being the 51st state before, but this is just ridiculous

Yeah, there’s this weird agism I’ve seen. Maybe they think the ‘young people’ (30 years in this case) are bragging? I just view it as someone adding their context, nothing abhorrent ¯\(ツ)/¯

I hate how dated this is now

You can both be right. In America we use A LOT of corn (syrup or otherwise) in our dishes. This just reminds me of when we added Iodine to our salt. A recognition that we can supliment necessary vitamims/minerals/etc.

It is, those are ‘water cannons’ they’re not squirt guns. Just adding so people understand how high pressure these things can be.

Honestly disappointed with the combination of batch awards and probably the shortest acceptance speech timer I’ve seen. This game awards felt solely for producers and publishers, not for the people who actually made these games. I get not wanting another 8 min speech, but it left a bad taste in my mouth

There’s an issue with Familicides as well. Those are often in private, but can wipe a household out. Ease of access is what is being discussed largely, as well as the general terrorism of a ‘public space’ mass shooting.

It’s just an exo going through some memory wipes, no big deal. Wok-44 is when we need to worry

I work at a gaming themed brewery and I now desperately wish I had @gameale(.)com as my domain

I’ll paste what @iso@lemy.lol (looks to be an admin) commented after you posted;

"Not just spam, it is also using system resources as high as big instances. I just defederated from it.

I wish someone made this integration in an app, that shows both Lemmy and Reddit feed, without an instance."

So seems like you were right
