Right, my point is that maybe it’s Freudian, or maybe it’s just a brain fart. The larger issue is that we don’t know for sure. Like, if Pelosi had made the same mistake, you could safely assume she isn’t a Nazi. Boehner is a douche canoe and a shitbag bigot, but we’re fairly confident he wasn’t a Nazi. Hastert was a criminal and a pedophile, but he wasn’t a Nazi. Gingrich, Ryan, Michel, none of them Nazis.
Mike Johnson? Might be an actual Nazi.
Yeah, that sounds likely.
I mean, it’s very obvious that he meant to say “we’ve defended against…” The real problem is, you aren’t defending against it now! You are defending that evil ideology now. Nazis are in the Republican party, in positions if power and influence, and there is no way to be sure who isn’t a Nazi.
So for anyone who sees the gaffe and thinks “Oh, he just misspoke.” Yeah, probably. But recognize that it’s a problem that we even have to question it in the first place. Whether House Speaker Mike Johnson is a Nazi or not, he clearly did not intend to admit to being a Nazi. THE PROBLEM IS THE FIRST PART OF THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE. It’s not the gaffe.
Yes, but will they be able to capture the true narrative complexity of asking a desk toy to provide randomized platitudes and admonisitions? How can they please the built-in hardcore fans without alienating the newcomers who don’t have an encyclopedic understanding of the extensive lore? Will they tackle some of the more problematic canon events that have aged poorly in a more enlightened society? Or will they gloss over those moments and modernize the deep mythology on which the intellectual property is based and risk abandoning the edge that made it popular in the first place?
Concentrate and ask again
Fuck.
No, his mom is a love interest for Picard, and he has a lot of affection for Wesley, but they are not related.
I think that’s the AI function that would be most valuable to me. Just have an assistant on my phone building a catalog of resources and tasks on my to do list and creating priority lists. “Can you help me remember where I left the miniature paints?” “I’m afraid I can’t do that. You haven’t finished spackling and painting that spot in the bathroom.”
Firmware patch notes: ADHD workaround. Temporary fix.
My personal mental illness is that I won’t be able to finish a project because I can’t find the tool or component I need that’s squirreled away in a bin, but I won’t look for it because that would mean a whole day of organizing my storage shit, and I won’t buy a new one because then what was the point of hoardingstoring the one I had for all this time.
No press is bad press, I suppose. Doesn’t make me want to buy their coffee.
Same, except we didn’t go see it because of the 3 hour runtime.
I remember meeting a character actor who had bit parts in a lot of things. He was instantly recognizable, but nobody knows his name. He told me the worst part is that because he’s “famous,” people expect him to be rich. Like service workers expect $100 tips at restaurants and hotels, and he’s like “I’m here for a job application.”
It’s crazy we’ve never had a Metroid/Mega Man crossover game. Like consider a team/squad shooter RPG with Samus, Mega Man, Zero, X, Roll, and you run around collecting upgrades and weapon types. I feel like the two universes would work well together.
This is one of my favorite stories about petty malicious compliance. Brownlee knew that welding the cover in place was a fools errand and a waste of time, but a superior insisted it be done to contain the blast. Brownlee acquiesced but also installed a high-speed camera pointed at the cap to capture exactly how stupid the idea was. Turns out, the high-speed camera was not high speed enough, because the cap vanished between frames, meaning it was either blown off at a speed that would escape Earth orbit, or it was instantaneously vaporized.
I like imagining the meeting where Brownlee presented the findings on the cap experiment.
Like imagine if you could get away with that at your job. Some pompous middle manager insists on a stupid idea, and you’re like “OK, we’ll do it, but we’re also going to set up instruments to detect precisely how badly this will fail, just so we have it on record.”
The researchers are also bots.
Yeah, I use it for personal link sharing for Immich. Sharing photos is a breeze.
My condolences, that’s a bummer.
Nope.
Lock it down until they understand stuff like sex and death and propaganda and trolls. You don’t want them learning that shit on tiktok.
I remember the migration bullshit and the Bedrock/Java Wars.
I mean, I bought it in beta and have bought it since several times over.
Might as well see what the kid can do. You know what Wilson has left in the tank.
That’s fair. I’d go all the way back to Nixon, and you’re right that we are at the end of a long path they have been marching us down.
But I don’t believe they were Nazis. I believe they were selfish, myopic, cruel, ignorant, bigoted, and often simply evil. Not Nazis, though.
