I am waiting for my trillion ruble note as a keepsake.

What do you want to bet the NSA has recordings of Musk’s phone calls? Probably the only thing preventing the feds from using these recordings would be they would have to let on they have this capability.

It’s not scientific racism, it’s racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

The USA is degenerating into a mafia state. There is an organized criminal conspiracy to disrupt elections and take over the government. What is being done about it?

In other news, the entertainment industry is run by soulless ghouls that will do anything they believe is necessary to increase revenue, including adding sex and violence that requires no language or subtlety to understand.

How about BBSs? If you want to spam at 1200 baud, you had better be dedicated.

It’s going to take a while to torrent a movie on the 40 meter band.

Along with the bibles, the steaks, the bogus university, the bogus charity… he’s really trying to win the scam decathlon.

Isn’t there some way to use the liars paradox in Star Trek to destroy super intelligent computers? That would seem such a more satisfying way to destroy it.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment

If they don’t blink and you hear the servos whirring, that’s a pretty good sign.

In other news, they interviewed 200 historians and by chance found one that happened to predict 9 of the last 10 elections correctly.

The only material changes I can see would be for Russia to move nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine and/or resumes nuclear testing. Every other escalation does not result in a change their stance that can be perceived from outside Russia. Either of these events would cause an enormous elevation in the readiness and deployment of NATO forces and would risk uncontrolled escalation. How desperate is Putin now?

The question is, which worker in an office will be the first to come in only four days a week.? They have to make management shut down the office, otherwise the workers will be too afraid of management to not be seen.

It might be time to swap JD for Bobby Brainworm.

Any function is computable with a big enough table.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don’t know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

As long as the locals benefit and the environment doesn’t get destroyed ( which polluters frequently get away with due to the Republican legislature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill ) this is a sensible place to put industry.
