Yeah, I had to look up the person to check, as I also thought it was a smarmy 'cautionary tale' sort of joke to begin with, but no, he works in the AI Agent industry and appears to be serious here.

Waiiiiiit a minute. I'm starting to think all these photos of yours sans pants AREN'T just an accident!

I suppose it's at least a modest step up from outright torturing baby monkeys...?

Harlow's Studies on Dependency in Monkeys

I'm pretty sure we've tried this exact sort of cruel parenting behavior before on monkeys, and it didn't work out well for the babies there, either.

A later reply of his is perhaps even more sad: "I do want to spend time with my baby. […] I’d just rather spend that time cuddling, feeding, and playing, and automate the things I don’t need to be around for." "Reading a book to your baby" IS the sort of thing you need to be around for, Alvin.

"Where did these people come from?" Over forty years of misinformation on behalf of conservatives trying to convince everyone that Corporations Are People and Autocratic Rule Is Better Than Democracy (But Only When They're On Our Side) and Between You And Me, The Only TRUE Americans Are White Men.

To those who STILL say "this is just fearmongering; it'd never actually happen." Seriously? Trump sent a LITERAL MOB to the Capitol to try and retain control the LAST TIME. He only failed at that because, unlike now, he didn't have ALL THREE branches (plus a corrupt SCOTUS) completely behind him.

(That said, "I quite literally have the receipts" IS a great response.)

Uuuugh. Fake Moon Landing is like the most basic of the conspiracies anymore. Even ignoring the DECADES of proof by now showing it was, in fact, VERY REAL, the conspiracy is just SUCH unoriginal milquetoast to cling on to. I'd almost be embarrassed FOR him, but it's not even worth THAT much effort.

Probably saw something in their history where the person looked at a lot of similar items, like bras or underwear, but the only one they ended up buying was the single option where it did not have lace, and so the AI made that its entire takeaway.

Probably not far off. Her 'wannabe model' stance—three-quarter angle, leaning back, Generic Female Republican hair color and style—reeks of a GOP trophy wife, so I think we're dealing more with Stepford Wives here. Which fits in quite well with the demands of the rest of these ghouls, of course.

You don't NEED a lot of actual power for intimidation. The ILLUSION of it is all that's needed. Do folks actually think there won't be ANY brown or black people—or hell, even white Dems/socialists—who might think twice about showing up at their polls when they see the fascist regime's goons there?

022

Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed by their 'information.' Literally everything listed for me was, well… stuff CLEARLY obvious based on my actual purchase history there. Like "Probably owns Item X." Really, Amazon? I BOUGHT an Item X *from* you, so yeah, probably likely I own the thing I bought.

Wild that such a comparatively unique name would be independently synonymous with pure evil and callous cruelty not just once, but TWICE within the span of a single decade.

Well, I'm sure then that Greg will be MORE than happy to be considered collateral damage as well and have HIMSELF 'accidentally' deported by the ICEstapo. You'd think these guys would ALWAYS be happy and willing to take one for the team in order to get rid of "the garbage that's in our country."

For those actually curious, it's nothing special: "The journal entry was simple: 'Edward came to see me,' Hardman wrote, referring to Sir Edward Young, her private secretary, who was helping the Queen make arrangements for the swearing in of newly elected U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss’ ministers."

Got mine yesterday, along with Covid. How is that 40% number compared to previous years?

wh28olympics? Like, as in "White House 2028 Olympics"? I'm not even sure I want to speculate on what sort of "White House Olympics" these chuckleheads have in mind.

After playing D&D for over four decades, I finally gave up on the brand a few years ago after WotC/Hasbro screwed over its customers (and the game) too badly, too many times. But I am very happy to sign this because it's still The Right Thing To Do.

090

You say that in a snarky tone, of course, but honestly? They've played a LOT of different games aside from D&D on Dimension 20 over the years. They could (and probably WOULD) totally do that with minimal fuss if there's any hint of foul play by WotC/Hasbro should this unionizing effort fail.

< We can expect intimidation at key polling places in GOP-controlled states. We know they will be trying to manipulate/overturn votes at every turn. They've talked about—or already TRIED—doing ALL this. The powers fighting against them have to be PREPARED to deal with these crimes AS THEY HAPPEN.

100

< in power. We already KNOW what they're planning to do; they're not subtle—they already gerrymandered certain places all to hell; many polling places in Dem-heavy regions have already been removed. Everything they've 'casually talked about' is stuff we KNOW they will do when they get desperate. >

100

That's a fair point, and by planning in advance, I mean just that, no more. No storming the castle before the drawbridge has been raised. But if we're going to get our country back, every Dem politician needs to accept that they are going to try every trick in the book—legal or otherwise—to stay >

“'He was clearly stating U.S. cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn’t been stopped,' [White House Communications Director Steven Cheung] wrote." Really, Steven? Clearly stating? CLEARLY? Trump may not have been ASKING for it to happen, but he CLEARLY wouldn't be upset if it did.

021

Have you thought about putting them in matching outfits based on your own personal theme, with similarly related naming conventions? That was pretty popular back in the sixties, but you may need to supply your own onomatopoeia for fight scenes.

000

< cities, but it's clear that he doesn't really care what happens to the people who live in them (which matches perfectly with EVERYTHING ELSE he says). We all know he constantly mangles his words when speaking, but those same ramblings virtually always show his TRUE thoughts and intentions.

140

Yeah. The thing with Trump is that he's NEVER subtle. He doesn't have that mental capacity to properly mask his true thoughts, and he doesn't have the normal filters between what passes for his brain and what dribbles out of his mouth. He may not be LITERALLY calling for the bombing of those >

120

Yeah, but there's a reason he mentioned those cities specifically. To Trump et al., they're Californians, which means they are leftists, Democrats, socialists, and/or brown people, NONE of whom they consider to be REAL Americans. Hell, this regime doesn't even consider most of them to be PEOPLE.

2121

I mean, if—according to Trump—it is perfectly okay for Iran to take out a city in the US, I know of a GREAT location in Florida that could solve most everything with the right timing.

000

< this fascist regime operates. Part of their whole approach (along with the blatant criminality) is to do permanent damage BEFORE anyone can react to the devastation. They blatantly tore down part of the WHITE HOUSE before anything could be done to stop them. We HAVE to think ahead and be ready.

That saying is basically 'don't worry before it's time to worry,' but I'd say we're WELL past that time to start. Waiting until a disaster is CURRENTLY HAPPENING leaves you NO time to react to it. I'm saying we need to prepare for eventualities we KNOW are going to happen, because that is how >
