Alright! Now if France and Britain’s new left-of-center leadership can just… PLEASE not fuck it up… there may actually hope for the rest of the planet.

I expected better from the French. It’s disheartening watching Fascism take root globally like this. 34% is 34% too much.

Sure, but in the western world, that Venn diagram is basically a circle.

Depends on what you mean by that. PTs can use chiropractic techniques to great effect.

But there is a MASSIVE difference between an actual PT that sometimes uses specific chiropractic techniques and the con artists who try to shake your down for weekly neck cracks.

If only we had a word for an intentionally “false claim”… maybe we could call it something like “falclay”… or maybe just “lie”, for short.

Gen Z likes to invent slang. Let’s make this “lie” thing happen. What do you say, WaPo?

I don’t just mean DLSS or frame generation as it exists today… I mean completely re-interpreting what is rendered before it’s displayed with complete temporal and deterministic consistency. Given that we’ve seen some demos of the concept in action, and that was over a year ago, I really don’t think it’s far off, either.

Imagine booting up classic Monkey Island, and Nvidia’s AI reinterpreted makes it look like a high-end modern animated TV show. That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.

It’s a matter of time before we can use real-time AI upscalers. Nvidia (et al) have been working on this quite a bit.

In the mean time, the two options you mentioned are it.

“If we digitally alter this thing then if you squint really hard and take these lead supplements for a few months then it maybe kinda looks like something else!”

So they are going with North Korea theory of foreign of relations. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.

And tomatoes. Tomatoes used to be amazing. Even the worst ones were amazing.

Now they just taste like “wet”. If you want a good tomato you have to track down lovingly and carefully bred heirloom plants and grow them yourself.

All those different kinds of banana. All we get is cabendish which is, like, the worst of all the amazing banana varieties.

They’re readily available in the LA area. You just need to visit an asian specialty market.

So the answer is “of course!”

May have?

Our State Dept seems to be a few months behind.

Bad faith misdirection question is bad faith, misdirection.

E for effort, though.

To grossly oversimplify things, there are two kinds of vegans…

Type 1 are “healthy living” and “sustainability” vegans. These type are generally benign, polite, helpful, positive, and keep to themselves unless asked. They also tend to not be super militant about their veganism… like the occassional egg from someone’s beloved home-raised chickens is fine.

Type 2 are ideological vegans. These types believe that “exploiting” “living creatures” in any way is fundamentally immoral, and because it’s a morality issue (e.g. basically religion) the vast majority are very preachy, demanding, and in-your-face about it. They don’t consider type 1 to be “real vegans”.

Type 2, being the loudest and most abrasive, giving veganism a bad name and ruining it for everyone.

Unless… there is always another layer because different people require different illusions… and therefore there is no escape from the Matrix…

extremists on both sides

Right Extremists: Murder our political opponents! Kill the queers and the coloreds! Install our dictator! Anyone that isn’t a white christian nationalist doesn’t deserve to live!

Left Extremists: Everyone deserves access to health care, housing, and basic necessities! Limit the hoarding of wealth and power! Protect democracy! End mass murder and genocide!

“bOTh sIdeS Are THe sAME!”

One of the rights many mottos is “if it hurts everyone terribly, but hurts the left even a little bit more, then it’s a good plan and we should do it”.

¿Por que no los dos?
