Due to the economic downturn, I'm likely getting downsized at month's end, thus looking for remote U.S. work.

Can't believe the U.S. deep state STILL hasn't learned that guerilla insurgencies are basically unbeatable if given a reason to persist with halfway decent morale
There are Christian slop movies that accurately depict what a fucking nightmare a suburban house held by well-armed hostiles can be for law enforcement, let alone several on the same block.
You are seeing glimmers of what a civil conflict would look like with ICE raids. The communities haven’t started shooting at them, but if they did, it would not be the community that would come out worse off

So it's integral to liberal democracy.
(for the idiots: it's not the "American" part, it's the "beyond an ethnicity" part. The tides of human migration, a fundamental human right, doom any liberal democracy grounded in ethnicity to genocide. Cf. Israel).

Birthright citizenship is probably not integral to liberal democracy, but it is integral to *American* liberal democracy. Our vision of what we are as a country, as a nation beyond an ethnicity, requires it.

The greatest defender of the American Empire isn't some shithead groyper, but a guy filming 25 other Americans of all colors and genders fucking up an ICE raid while cursing them five ways to Sunday.
"White fertility collapsed, the rest of the planet didn't" is the sort of thing someone who's never seen demographic projections for East Asia would say. South Korea and Thailand's birthrates are literally half of Norway's. By 2100 China may have a population only marginally higher than the US:

Is automating cars as a collective endeavor worthwhile compared to just building out good transit and road design?

There is no Christian or Jewish sect, ancient or modern, that crosses some objective line of poor hermeneutics. If you didn't have Scripture that supported your angle, you just made new Scripture.
The better hemeneutics tended to be declared heresy and exterminated.

also crazy impressive for directed edits. There are tells in the image on the right (the big one being that the right side of 无 is uneven) but none that jump out if you're not already looking
Nano Banana / Gemini really is amazing -- I gave it a cameraphone image from 2009 and had it upscale, change perspective, and remove the trash can.
You just straight-up couldn't do this in Photoshop, no matter how good you are.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only good format because for the very small price of two extra digits, it tells you and everyone else who comes after, in no uncertain terms, that this is a date and you don't have to guess or hunt down which year it is.

AMERICA'S BEAUTY IS A RIGHT COMMON TO ALL MANKIND, YOU MISERABLE FASCIST FUCKS.
National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Rogue One was the worst SW movie I'd ever seen until TRoS, which is an abomination of an un-movie that should be subjected to DAMNATIO MEMORIAE.
Yes, TLJ is trash. All its support is impotent Trump 1.0 Left-of-Center hippie nonsense in the face of surging fascism, aged like blue milk.

Evil is a seed, and life finds a way.
i'm going to sound sarcastic here but genuinely one of the most interesting aspects of LLMs is that they are proving that evil is real, by which i mean if you train them to do one bad thing they start doing other bad things that you have not trained them to do
At least once a month, Anthropic puts out an alignment paper d AI behavior where, if you saw it in a science fiction film, you‘d be screaming at the idiot scientists onscreen to stop development

Oswald was a Communist attempted defector and Castro-phile who hated JFK. He trained on marksmanship in the Marines. He bought the rifle used in the killing and practiced with it. He tried to kill General Walker with the same rifle a few weeks prior.
