Dude, that job pays THREE TIMES as well as the equally-dead one I currently have (even more if you include benefits). Just accept the good fortune bestowed upon you, get paid to do practically nothing, and find a new hobby to invest all your new free time into. Like, how is this even a question?
Edit: I redid the math and turns out you’re making 3x what I do, not the 2x that I originally said
An all-time classic
It’s really not though… it looks closer to some random, amorphous shape I’d draw up for a DnD one-off than an actual country. If I were asked to draw Nigeria from memory, that’s probably pretty close to what I’d come up with, but just Google how it actually looks and you can see the differences immediately
Jesus fucking Christ, it’s like they’re TRYING to embarrass our entire nation from every single department possible. 10 years ago this would’ve amused me more than anything, even if only slightly. But now? Everyday is just another brand new stupid example of our own incompetence with somewhere around a 50/50 split between embarrassing and infuriating. I’ve never been a gung-ho, America-first, capital-P “Patriot”, but I never would’ve even conceived that we would sink so low so quickly; every new rock-bottom simply becomes a new surface-layer to be strip-mined of any remaining shred of dignity, empathy, and humanity
Personally I don’t care about (or waste time thinking about) how I look when I smoke. I do it because I want to, not as a try hard attempt to look cool
You say it’s just in the hostory books, but unfortunately for me, I see one almost every time I drive anywhere longer than 10 minutes. It’s entirety possible I’m seeing the same guy more frequently because we live close to each other, but checking the license plates on them when I can, I’ve seen no less than half a dozen unique Cybertrucks in the last couple years, mostly along the same commute to and from work (no highways)
Whenever I become aware of it, either through my own realization or someone else pointing it out. I’ll always double check before coming out and saying it, but if my first stance is actually wrong, I have no problem admitting it
Danke
I know the picture of Helen is from Nolan’s Odyssey, but What’s the pic of Andromeda from?
I agree with the sentiment, and I really don’t want to be an asshole here… but are you SURE you didn’t have time to do a second take on that sign? Don’t get me wrong, I’m bad at spacing out big letters too, it usually takes me a couple tries to get it right, but this doesn’t look like they even made an attempt. It honestly looks like they wrote “No data centers” but then went back to try to squeeze in “AI”. And like… it probably didn’t take that long to make it in the first place, were they just completely out of paper and this was their one chance? Even more frustrating though, there were almost certainly dozens more (better) signs that the article could’ve used but THAT one, which was clearly a mistake, was the one they went with?
Here’s an interesting video about those handful of defectors and what their life was like on the other side of the DMZ, Doina and the other wives are mentioned as well as several other things you probably wouldn’t even consider:
Semantics ruin everything 😃
Others have said it better than I ever could, but in my own words, even IF every person who bought these was the epitome of the highest moral and ethical standards, I would still be uncomfortable due to the way-too-high possibility of them being ‘hacked’ remotely which would still have the potential to destroy lives
You know what, good sleuthing, I’ll upvote that. But I’m willing to give that one a little more leeway because it was submitted to “Political Memes” whereas this place is supposed to be just memes. Plus what you posted isn’t really saying anything, it’s… well it’s just a shitty quote from a shitty former man
Okay but… how is this a meme?
IT WAS STILL HERE??? I thought that monstrosity was put down back when Trump and Musk had their little lover’s quarrel
That’s pretty funny ngl
Funny and original comment. Nicely done
“Peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals” are not the air-tight source you seem to think they are. A lot of them have become echo chambers that largely seek to only acquire more citations for the sake of having more citations. I’m not saying they all deserve to be thrown in the trash or anything, but likewise I’m also not going to blindly believe whatever they’re/you’re telling me just because they’ve got “Journal” on the front cover. Here, check out this blog post, it goes into some of the history of Academic Journals and how they’ve fallen from grace over the last several decades. Oh also they’re quickly becoming inundated with AI, both in terms of submissions and even the review process itself, and personally I’m not going to let an AI tell me if AI is good or bad
If they can’t ever go home, they’ll have no choice but to keep working! Just think of the profits… ONLY think of the profits
