Thank you for representing me

I hate the existing copyright system and would love to see it contested.

My brother in Christ, they're literally contesting it

Sounds like the 21 Jump Street remake

I wonder how much these models are now learning from spam they were used to generate

I found a set of Makita tools for 60% off last year and now I'm Makita battery dependent for the rest of my life

The digital landscape is so different. I teach undergraduates and it's hit or miss whether they understand what a file path is. But honestly, I'm not sure it will be relevant in the same way for much longer. I grew up installing games from CD and establishing a specific file path and folder for install and if I did it wrong it wouldn't work. With GUI's becoming more simple and intuitive, combined with advances in machine learning and algorithmic design, I have no problem imagining a future where all file structures are transparent to the user.

I fucked around with dozens of these trying to get my steam linked email changed, only to find out it's virtually impossible. Then I sent an email to the support line explaining why I'm never buying another Rockstar game.

This is just Westworld.

I'm tired, boss

More please. Shitpost crusaders might be the only thing I miss about Reddit

That is almost verbatim what I told myself leading up to 2016. And here we are.

Big fan of the billionaire crushing machine

Poetry in motion

Sounds like job creation to me

Classic. I remember when I saw this the first time. I was browsing imgur during a calc lecture instead of learning any calculus

The mechanics that are in it now are incredibly well polished. I look forward to future updates. Props to the dev

Now that I'm thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?

I tried to read the Fountainhead twice when I was a teenager and I never got more than a third of the way. It felt like watching an old person try to remember their shopping list

What poppy is

If I recall correctly, this would be an illegal order in violation of the Title 10 authorities which govern DoD activities if it took place within the borders of the country. I'm not a federal lawyer so I don't know the details, but I believe it prohibits the armed forces operating under Title 10 from performing operations on U.S. soil. Title 18 however governs agencies like the FBI and allows operations within U.S. borders but prohibits foreign operations.

This is all a vague memory from an old lesson, but at first glance the attorney's argument is utter crap. It boils down to "no act of the president can be considered in violation of any law." Not a comforting sentiment, and a dangerous precedent.

Pretty sure I saw this on JoJo

Check out the book The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan. He uses public data to examine breakdowns in trade, climate, and demographics and which countries stand to lose or gain based on their history of policy making.

Perhaps the archives are incomplete.

I think this one?

Darmok and Jalad, at Tanagra

I tried to play, but my Rockstar link to steam is locked behind an email I deleted 10 years ago. The only way to make it work is to log into the old account and change the email, but 2FA requires access to the old email. Which doesn't exist. Even support can't make the change without access to the non-existent email. It's a perfect catch 22 and literally unplayable.

Guilty as charged. I've played hundreds of hours of souls games and all I know about the lore is that souls are money

Comcast raised my rate my 30% a few weeks ago and I went on a rage filled search for a replacement. The only other providers are either barely usable or starlink.

I had zero expectations going into AC6, having never played one before and only discovering FromSoft in the past 3 years, but I love this game. I feel like I'm 13 years old playing PS2 Gundam games again

I'm getting Deus Ex vibes

Pick any of my college students when I ask how they're doing

Oh I see. When I said it, it's because I thought that meant we were safe from this movement continuing to exist. But you're right, it's definitely more about being prepared for that death struggle

This is true of most games.

I sincerely hope that shitposting saves us from the hell big Corpo has made of the world

Just practice for the human rights violations

I'm listening to the Hugos There podcast (only for the books I've read) and social commentary by the authors is central to several of their discussions
