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

Yes

That’s an unfortunate codename in the modern day: STI

My (uneducated) guess is that they’d heat up the middle sections a bit to make them more malleable

Not inherently, no. But in practice, absolutely. Especially when you consider that people who have been in power for a long time almost certainly have better/deeper connections/corruptions than someone who just got elected into their first term

People with Cool Grandmas. They’re Hip and Jiggy With It

It’s actually spelled “Would”. Not sure how they made that mistake /s
