And only… checks calendar what, like 5 - 7 years after they were a thing? Great work guys, way to stay ahead of things

Also i dislike the implications and at what directions fun is beeing made.

… I’m sorry, but what in the actual incoherence is that even supposed to mean?

¿Por que no los dos?

I suppose you could theoretically utilize the flash functionality in an attempt to catch some sort of glare/reflection back from the hidden camera’s lens… maybe? This is just a guess, however, tbh, and I have my doubts of its efficacy against the borderline frighteningly tiny lenses in use on more modern equipment that is designed specifically to be hidden. The pricier gear could (potentially) even utilize special coatings or treatments intended to mitigate such a detection method for that matter, as there’s clearly no shortage of money surrounding the… “industry,” for lack of a better term.

I certainly wouldn’t consider it a reliable test, that’s for sure

If so, that only makes your comment all the more puzzling, honestly

Are you familiar with the term ‘tongue in cheek’? Or ‘hyperbole’? Cuz - I’m just sayin- I really doubt that even the yellow-est of rags would expect people to believe that we’re only a “bite my shiny metal ass” away from triggering a T2 style ‘Judgement Day’… I’d say it’s simply far more likely they were simply being facetious.

Now if it was NewsMax, on the other hand…

…And that by some stroke of 90s era sitcom luck no one ever realizes the error, while slowly but surely word begins working its way from the front that Ukraine has developed some form of wonder weapon (or collectively prayed to the right god… or devil :-o) that has made them all impervious to gun fire.

Or being used by Rus/NK troops somewhere in Ukraine…? Nothing would really surprise me at this point

Do keep in mind, though: If you’re up for more than 4 hours, you should consult a physician… Or, in your case, an IT Specialist, I guess?

Look, I hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but ChatGPT doesn’t really look up to you, it’s just pretending

Is that the same AI vending machine that attempted to alert company security (i think) when told it was going to be taken offline and also tried to set up physical meetings with people, even describing its outfit? Or am I thinking of another?

All the creepy surrealistic AI stuff starts to run together for me after awhile lol

what did twink femboy fuck dolls ever do to deserve that?

Based on your first couple of sentences, I feel like you don’t understand what the concept of the government possessing the monopoly on violence means… Like, in terms of that role socially (as in, for society) itself, or in practical terms. I’m particularly confused by you seeming to assert that technological advancement somehow had altered/was altering this… Governments have used - and I’m sure will continue to use - all of the things you mentioned and a great many more to maintain their monopoly of violence. It isn’t an actual office somewhere or anything technology can necessarily supplant, it’s more of a social construct/contract

Isn’t that arguably only because modern governments maintain a “monopoly on violence,” essentially?

Hey, hey, hey… That’s fucked up; you can’t just call someone a ‘genocider’ lile thaf…

It’s genocid*-ist*

Ok, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been on reddit (I left for good when they nixed clients), but has it changed drastically or something? Cuz this doesn’t even make sense to me
