Capitalist who stands to make millions or even billions from latest scam says latest scam is great. More news at 11.

Ah good. I’ve seen liberal word salad that is close to this, but never quite on this level. Yet.

All we need is a good strong army of goths and they’re finished.

I know liberals hate actually defining the words they use and love using their own personal meaning for everything, but this is barely a step above baby babble.

You very clearly didn’t want to be there either. The whole time you looked like you would rather be somewhere else. What other things could you have done with your evening instead?

A can of water is what happens when a group of suits focus test merchandise to be as “inoffensive” and have as much “mass appeal” as possible.

Wow, NAFO is so fucking astroturfed, they really don’t even try to hide it, do they?

The amount of times Megatron was willing to forgive Starscream shows an incredible amount of patience and compassion.

Could it be that entry level positions require 12 years experience and don’t even offer a living wage? No, it must be because the kids these days are lazy.

I have no idea what they teach in political science classes, but I honestly think that they could get a better understanding of politics from playing Paradox games than whatever they teach in them. The way they talk it just seems to be “ignore every single actual bit of useful information about politics and use big words to cover up the fact that you have a toddler’s understanding of politics.”

It’s not corruption if it is all perfectly legal after all. If you plebians don’t like it, just vote with your wallets!

Yeah, it does feel like it is picked for memorability and repeatability, just used as an empty floating signifier that just means “bad things” so the audience can attribute whatever specific meaning they want onto it, and the fact that this has picked up steam suddenly out of nowhere does make it seem like the US is trying to manufacture consent for something.

Has very similar vibes to “SOS Cuba” for sure. Are you worried the US might try some false flag or something in the region, since Taiwan doesn’t seem to be willing to destroy themselves for US profits atm?

Huh. That’s actually an angle on their stubbornness I hadn’t considered.

Look, all I’m saying is, voting in the Emperor was a necessary evil to prevent JarJar from becoming leader of the galaxy, he was embarrassing and was a far worse option really.

It’s in honour of the first Italian man to crawl across the bridge.

However, whales partially funding it is still true.

Capitalism would have a lot more clout if billionaires and companies used their money to fund solutions to humanity’s problems, instead of using their money to create problems for humanity and then offering solutions for profit.

Purchase a lot of non-perishable food and learn how to garden and grow your own veggies if you can.

I’ve looked into using it to save time, the way this interviewer recommends, and I must say “I would rather put a gun in my mouth” is a pretty accurate response to how it makes you feel as a writer. The only thing it is good for is when I’m feeling incompetent, I plug my ideas into an AI and the garbage it generates makes me feel way better about my own writing skills.

I love that Shapiro gives an example of one of the things AI is worst at doing with creative writing. AI is terrible at linking two unrelated scenes together. All AI can really do with a script is pad it with samey nonsense, it can’t come up with a clever twist or a good segue.
