I’ve said some things I thought were unforgivable in my life, and done things that I am deeply ashamed of. Something like this… well… I guess I am not as bad of a person as I thought. I’ve never physically hurt someone (well, unless it was adult bedroom stuff), or killed someone. This guy deserves the prison sentence. Killing another persons children like that… I imagine that the mother has wished she had died with her kids out of grief :*(

Indeed, I do concur. The collective influence/strength of the technically savvy people in the world is a force to be reckoned with. Reminds me of the ratio of the number of individual Chinese state sponsored “hackers”, and Russian state sponsored “hackers”, compared to the ones employed by the United States military. Those persistent threat actors do be consistent, and highly, highly effective, if the Solarwinds hack is any indicator. It turns out that having the corporate world poach talent because of better pay and benefits, in addition to political policies that alienate the IT talent base that would be needed for “victory” (it would be a victory for no one, the quality of life on everyone on the planet would drop drastically) if full scale war were to break out, is not good for realpolitiking.

For those unfamiliar with the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realpolitik

Geopolitics, ancient history, the paranormal/highly strange & esoteric knowledge have been the things that I would say have fascinated me most in life. Due to recent experiences in my life, I am A LOT more concerned with exopolitics now than I am with geopolitics :| and to those that do not believe in non-human, intelligent entities existing… well… I would recommend that you read some of the trip reports of people who have done high doses of DMT. I also personally grew up in a ludicrously haunted house, where even with my bipolar that I’ve mentioned in my comment history, my 5 older siblings and all of their friends had experiences occur and sightings happen at that house (it was an old farm house here in Utah, had a barn and well and shit.) Alternatively, from a more physical, militarily minded perspective, I will go ahead link a source on UFOs back in the cold war flying up to American nuclear weapons silos, being detected on radar, physically seen by multiple military personnel at the bases, tampereing with nuclear warhead launch sequences, then flying away.

Here is the source for that: https://www.history.com/news/ufos-near-nuclear-facilities-uss-roosevelt-rendlesham

Yeah it turns out that using a statistical model to handle customer service leads to a degraded customer experience, because statistical models aren’t humans and lack many human attributes.

Eh I would disagree with that. Depends on the Indian. There are plenty of Americans who provide GARBAGE customer service.

BUT THINK OF THE BILLIONAIRES COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BUILD BIGGER MEGA YACHTS. THINK OF THE YACHTS.

Well, she is trying her best at least to do* her job.

Turns out the Heritage Foundation and their allies being so blatant with their garbage political policy MIGHT be bad for winning elections

Spitting out the statistics, what a legend. Appreciate the write up!

I didn’t read the details too much. Having things happen in a court of law is important, however, if you look at say… a country like Ukraine. Their form of democracy is a bit different in this regard. Which has its ups and downs, as most societal structures do. For example, the Scandinavian model is one that is dependent on a homogeneous population. The ancient Greeks in Athens discussed this. Here is the relevant link:

Mmm, well, technology has been advancing at a rate never before seen by our ancestors. Star Trek style society is far more possible than most realize, right now.

Why some people don’t like Hillary Clinton, at least one of the reasons:

Then she LAUGHS about it, dude died having bayonets shoved up his ass from what I recall. Libya had the living standards of a developed nation, and now… well it is what it is. Gotta maintain that petrodollar :| real politik is still alive and quite pertinent in the world.

Also, for any angry Africans, gonna go ahead and leave this here:

I mean, it is the classic cycle of human hate right. I talked to a (gorgeous, I will add, sue me, I like pretty girls) Israeli girl for a few months after Oct 7th. Hearing her perspective of things was educating. If I was on a date and had someone at the table next to me get stabbed in the neck by a random passerby, I would be a bit jaded as well. Having regular alarms to hide from missile attacks etc. Obviously, genocide bad. The Palestinians have it far worse, and are being used as proxies by Iran because of the whole mini-cold war that has been going on in the middle east for a while. However, life is rarely black and white. Unless it’s like serial killer/rapist/torturer/illuminati shit. Deprogramming generational hatred on an individual basis takes a great degree of patience and understanding of nuance. Calling all Israelis evil monsters is NOT how you fix the problem, my 2 cents.

I will leave this song here as an example of the Israeli perspective, I thought it was pretty spicy:

Mmm. We’ll see.

In person, if someone tells me in an adult fashion that something is disrespectful to them, I’ll stop doing it. On the internet however, well, this is where the glory of federation and blocking individual users comes in. What’s wrong with being a ho? Lmaooo. As a cis white male, if more girls were ho’s, it would mean more sex being had over all, which would improve the sex economy conditions as supply and demand and all that. I ALWAYS encourage girls to ho it up and get that simp money :| why not make more money than a lot of doctors as a stripper (artist I will add, they’re performers) and not have to spend years of your life and go into a bunch of debt.

And this is why Mississippi has a big problem with brain drain as a state. It’s pretty much a third world country (Outdated terminology, but in terms of quality of life, it is comparable to undeveloped countries).

The most giga-fucked part is that we could be living on a literal paradise on Earth with the technology we have. However, certain… actors (market makers, politicians, inherited wealth shits) desire to be neo-nobility and have an addiction to hoarding resources. Literal dragon shit. Well, these dumb fucks don’t realize the current generation REALLY loves dungeons and dragons. Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered. Of course, there are wealthy people out there who AREN’T complete monsters. They exist, ie the Disney heiress who has been trying to warn her fellow billionaires about the potential danger they’re in if they don’t equalize society @_@

RIP the uneducated masses. It seems easy to us on Lemmy, but for fucks sakes, feel like hardware manufacturers should really step up and stop circle jerking with the likes of Microsoft/Google/Apple etc and ship computers that COME with free open source software as a base. Bit unrelated to the add-on thing, as that is easy as fuck to do and people just don’t know, or they don’t care

Reminds me of that story of a father that murdered his daughters rapist in a small town and the whole town was like “I DIDN’T SEE NUFFIN” and I believe the father did not end up going to prison for it. Is a BIG, fuck around find out situation for pieces of human garbage like this. Don’t think these boomer pedos/other idiots realize what quantum computing and all of the data centers across the world storing citizens data for decades means for THEM… Just requires some inspired algorithms and a police force that is willing to uh, NOT protect the baddies and do their jobs as detectives vs arresting brown people for drugz :|

Considering that Netanyahu was having corruption charges levied against him before October 7th… well, from the Israelis I’ve talked to, the intelligence was there to prevent the attack, and the brass let it happen. War time leaders tend to hold on to power a lot easier. In addition to the gas deposits off the Gazan coast, and the whole beach front property development thing that Israeli corporations are advertising. It’s terrible what has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank (obviously) BUUUT, I mean, they’re surrounded by much larger countries that are hostile to them. WHY they are hostile, well, that is where cracking open a history book comes in.

It’s either Biden winning or violence at this point. The American political system is slow to adept to change… at least until a constitutional convention is held. The founding fathers being rich white land owning slavers isn’t what is relevant here. It is that they lived in a time that didn’t have the telegraph & trains, let alone stuff like nuclear weapons, nerve agents, space travel, and the internet.
