You know how there is that meme of “Epstein didn’t kill himself?”

I’m 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.

And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.

Dang yo he cleaned up.

You know, until you made that peach comment I was thinking I was in the clear forever. But I got to thinking about it and these are the kind of people who would start hunting vampires and if that happens I’m really fucking screwed.

In a world where everyone else in an NPC, everything lines up to prevent me from getting the nice thing I want within a short time of saving, yet again.

Y’all I don’t think this is the good place, and it sure ain’t earth

Bit late init

Department of Government Efficiency is the name of the department that ends up involved in creating Soylent green or some crazy human organ harvesting thing.

This sets off all sorts of red flags that bother the shit out of me. Like I’ll take boring dystopia over human slaughterhouses TYVM

You haven’t seen Tenet? Boi, lemme introduce you to one of my favorite movies of all time.

People can crap on it all they want but when you rewind it to check what you already saw happen again your brain gonna be like “oh holy shit I need to see that AGAIN!”

Sorry. I really like Tenet.

Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: “how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read.”

I don’t know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn’t generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

Yeah, and that fuckwits name was Paul von Hindenburg in Germany.

The fall of the Roman Republic was way more complex though wasn’t it? Like the Senate killed Ceaser and then voted to give his son unlimited tenure as Commander In Chief? There’s a lot to unpack there

Oh good lord.

You know, it’s kind of weird to me that there are republicans stating he won’t be confirmed, which, also has me wondering, does that mean he does not have a senate full of Yes men?

Trump isn’t going to like that, so I assume they will change their mind after a little private one on one meeting with him.

We don’t! That’s the best part about having a country full of idgafologists and sociopaths.

The answer is Guns, and more guns.

But people seem to not understand how fucking outgunned the population is versus the military.

I always hear a different story. One side says the soldier/airman/sailor/(are Marines just grunts?) is supposed to carry out all lawful orders by their superior, and the other is to protect the constitution.

National Guard and Coast Guard aside (which are technically state militaries, but Congress has recently given the President to authority to Federalize them without the governor consenting), it seems to me that one of the things a service member should have learned was that the military cannot operate domestically.

Now, I’ve met some smart officers, and some really dumb officers, and a lot of… People who survived enlistment and they all swear up and down that the reality comes to what happens when a gun is pressed against your head. Do you die for your country (as is your job) or do you commit treason risking that punishment in the future.

I like to imagine there’s a super top secret elite of the elite who are basically selected because at some point faced with that question and they take the bullet and become involved with an organization like Tenet.

OH OH OH OH IVE SEEN THIS ONE!!!

NEXT THEY’RE GONNA REVEAL VAULT PROGRAMS!!!

GODLIKE!!!

Lunokhod is a soviet lunar rover.

I don’t think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don’t think it’s dirt keeping him in check.

It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

If Trump doesn’t respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he’d just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

RC Hobbiests become the most in demand job.

I was going to say “doubt” because I’ve seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You’ll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

Yeah that ain’t a home, that’s a breeding facility.

Fucking weird. Like straight out of Game of Thrones where that one dude was in one house with all the girls and sacrificed the boys

Yeeesh

Vance. Godda be Vance. Right hand to Trump now, so when the night of the long knives occurs, he’s got a rope waiting.
