I’m just praying people will fucking quit it with the worries that we’re about to get SKYNET or HAL when binary computing would inherently be incapable of recreating the fast pattern recognition required to replicate or outpace human intelligence.

Moore’s law is about similar computing power, which is a measure of hardware performance, not of the software you can run on it.

Supposedly this is how the animetuber community were able to get relief from copy strikes after TNM took a public stand against the practice when his one piece series got struck

Unfortunately that’s only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.

Ohhhhh that’s a lot less positive than you might think it is.

It’s forced on whoever’s not on role in the relationship to “conform to their behavior.”

Sub men being forced to live as women, and dominant women being forced to live as men.

And yes, that includes “surgical correction.”

Man literally invented the electric chair entirely to showcase how bad going out this way is, and the psychopaths of the prison industrial complex wonder why people are becoming sceptical of the notion that the death penalty can be administered in any way that isn’t cruel and unusual.

The whole point of punitive death is to be cruel and unusual to the alleged transgressor, to offer their corpse as a blood sacrifice on the altar of sadistic vengeance to the victims or the next of kin thereof

Problem is that a lot of that remaining third live in countries where the state will actively try to destroy the air craft to keep their people insulated from the wider global internet

I was talking more about how Italian Americans that are native speakers tend to speak a dialect that largely derives from Sicilian and other southern dialects that have since fallen out of use in favor of common italian, which is technically an entirely different language based on a northern dialect.

The joke is that these sicilian speaking mafiosos will sound like the american cousins because the dialect the Americans speak is closer to sicilian than the modern italian Sicilians are more likely to use in their everyday right now.

It’s actually a pretty hilariously documented phenomenon across the old world and in multiple places within the new world, where countries that endured a nationalist unification period adopted a common tongue, and in doing so diverged the language from native speakers that had migrated to the Americas.

Similar sitch with “inauthentic” ethnic cuisine being criticized by others in America and elsewhere in the Americas, it’s not different because it’s inauthentic, it’s different because it’s a preserved cultural artefact which predates a prescriptionist change dictated from the elites (who tended to be from a single language/culture group) to the common public, while the forms seem in the Americas are those predating cultures and traditions.

There are some sicilians who are about to be horrified listening to all the characters suddenly sounding like their third cousins from America who insist they can speak “italian”

You could very easily build the system to perform the age check without logging it to the user’s ID since the check only needs to be performed once to create an account and just block anyone without one from seeing any of the content.

Estonia has digital ID based services and they aren’t China. In fact China despises them because they’ve made the cutting edge in digital public services without having to compromise citizen privacy, which makes China look even worse for going out of their way to invade citizen privacy when it isn’t even necessary to offer the same safety measures and services.

Wasn’t Incel originally coined by a blogger in the 80s?

Similar thing actually happened in early Islaam, except it was for deaths from epidemic instead of childbirth. That one being because a shitton of Mohammed’s original faithful had died of plague during the initial campaigns of the faith.

So how exactly do they stop the infiltrators from defecting once they’re inside the company in another country that is visibly less awful than NK?

This is why I struggle with moral relativism, because there’s traditions that just seem gross from my perspective, and then there’s genuine awful that definitely deserves being condemned regardless of how sacred it is to the people doing it.

IMO proportional body plans are overrated.

Mother’s Basement made a pretty good point when he pointed out in the Allmight vs AfO vid that letting the artists go buck wild with body proportions can achieve some spectacularly expressive results.

I mean that sounds pretty cruel but a lot of the time people accused of witchcraft were genuinely neuro divergent folks.

Might not have been perfect but being placed in a committed care facility is definitely a step up from being drowned because the peasants decided only drowning could prove your innocence.

“I hate powdered sugar… it’s poofy and hard to clean and it gets everywhere!”

Funny thing is that with Vader it’s not even in an indirect sense.

Mans absolutely could have canonically killed millions with his own two hands,

He got surrounded after crash landing on a dessert planet and the dude looks around and tells the commander calling for his surrender is “All I am surrounded by is fear, and dead men.”

IDK how they’d fare against each other in a fight, but Vader is definitely putting in the work to compete on Kharne the Betrayer’s million+ kill count, which we can only guess from that being how many people he’s killed that he was in control of himself enough to retrieve their skulls to offer to Khorne.

Depends on who’s working the terminal, nano vs vim difference

Normally I’d be suspicious of these kinds of megastructure projects but Vegas is the city that figured out how to get damn close to net zero water use from the Colorado so I’m willing to start off with the benefit of the doubt for the city leaders that ok’d this.

I am shocked! Shocked that the Germans aren’t running that shit on bureaucratic paperwork filing instead.
