If you’re cold they’re cold

I need that tee shirt

If that sounds compelling, consider that the Chinese room thought experiment was created to argue against machine learning.

Not only does it represent an intuitive way to understand how machine learning is fake, but how masking isn’t going to change the way you handle social interactions or help you develop skills.

I’m one of the 3% voting for moe.

Our government just reauthorized section 702, which allows domestic law enforcement agencies (fbi, etc.) to conduct warrantless search for us citizens in databases created by agencies tasked with prosecuting noncitizens (cia, dhs, ins).

So the noncitizen agencies are using mass surveillance technology and techniques to create a huge database of everything and it’s fine because they don’t have jurisdiction to use it against citizens, then domestic law enforcement is allowed to go searching in it with no warrant due to a legal side door.

FBI 702 searches were used against the January 6 people though, so it’s good. Literally reauthorizing the domestic surveillance state every year because it could be used on political enemies.

To hear the spook watchers talk about it, cia is pissed because there’s an outside chance fbi will get the new toy taken away.

To expand on what another poster said, the problem people are seeing with government response is that it was never driven by a desire to accomplish any public health goal, but instead was primarily based on what the Protestant ethos would allow to be proscribed. Oh we actually need people to do things for the economy to stay running? Okay you’re allowed to go and work, but you can’t have any fun.

The only policy available to the us government was based on shame and valorization of work (not workers), so it required that people to forego any pleasure to stop the virus.

As it turns out, morality is not a very good prophylactic.

You’d think the ai could get lums hair right

Anselmo is a white supremacist for sure, but idk about the rest of the band. After Darryl and the other brother kicked him out for being a big fuckup in a lot of ways someone shot Darryl ostensibly over it.

Idk. Pantera isn’t burzum, at best the band is an expression of party hick shit and all that comes with it.

That’s a pantera poster. He was a drummer in a metal band.

I know their posts are controversial, but we still need people to oversee the lending of books and old movies.

Without them where would old people do their taxes?

One I’ve been keeping in the ol’ back pocket for a hat trick monster inclusive party and late addition to the players is having the latecomer be from far away (bonus points if they’re a weeb doing some weeb shit) and have opposite monster prejudices from the party and their world.

dramatically swishes kimono “why are you massacring peaceful kobolds? You should be killing this disgusting goblin trash” points at party’s shaman

😊

Lol that’s cool.

Mine was right before Obama in like peak Iraq war times and it was a fucking struggle to plan anything that didn’t seem ripped from the headlines.

Tbh probably same for a person trying to fuck with their party now. “If they weren’t enemy combatants then why were they in the dungeon?” “Mf what’s a dungeon? This is a bugbear camp”

Stroke em if you got em’

This is assault.

Having a level 7 party get ambushed, defeated, captured and put on trial by goblins was a real fun way to fuck with ppl.

Don’t overthink it too bad, just have a good time.

A second is around the equator about seven and a half times. A tenth of a second is three quarters of the equator. The moon is about one and a quarter seconds away from earth, you know, if you ever wanna use it for something.

E: this is all half remembered from radio operation and radio astronomy. I could be wrong.

Don’t worry, there’s a chart in the back of machinery’s handbook.

Why don’t you derive a unit of force from the decay of a cesium atom over it?

Damn it must be so cool to use light and naturally understand its speed over distances similar to parts of your anatomy.

I struggle to comprehend the speed of light as a measure of distance over anything less than about 300 miles. You must just be built different.

Fabricated whole cloth by the French elites to satisfy their inability to perform simple arithmetic - good and proper!

Formed to be easy to use by centuries of laborers performing their work, beloved by all - verboten!

Everybody got something to say til it starts giving brain.

It’s not bad, it’s ineffective and plays into the opposition messaging, police actions and activism and harms the future of your members.

I think there’s a real difference between saying “go bigger” and respectability politics. That’s why I got out in front of the accusation of respectability politics by saying “go bigger”.

I wasn’t able to find any examples of tone policing in my post. I have investigated myself and found me innocent of all charges.

Everyone involved just got run in. Assuming no one gets it when they check you for outstandings, you’re all in the system now. Immediately grinding up against the carceral state pushes away your people who are willing to protest.

Arrest records are public. Now all these people can be harassed by cops, the israel lobby etc.

Aside from failing the yippie test, blocking the roads is ineffective here. Take an incredibly sympathetic cause like the brutalized palestinian people and demonize it by making people late for work or to pick their kids up in its name.

What does it accomplish? The average highway driver has no way to control American foreign policy. The ceasefire already had majority support. Everyone already knows what’s happening.

Blocking the roads is the most wrong form of demonstration at this point.

In general, blocking the roads like this is the wrong way to protest. It puts you in opposition to people driving (that’s everyone) and only serves to get the word out but only because people are frantically searching “who are these assholes”.

If someone knows all this and still wants to do it, they’re a fed. If they don’t know and want to do this, they’re doing what the feds want.

Before some enterprising poster says this is all respectability politics and tone policing, when you don’t care what people think and need to disrupt traffic, tear the roads up. Literally take hand tools and destroy them. When you got so many people in the march that it spills into the street, that’s great! Don’t make a little pissant line of linked arms across seven lanes, bring a stadium! Wanna show people that it’s normal to do outstanding things because of the insane violence on the tv? Make it normal, with a big crowd! When people see thirty jerks keeping them from buying groceries emblazoned with the cause they’ve been told is wrong and crazy it looks wrong and crazy.

Idc what you think about roads and cars and using protest to disrupt everyday life, if someone in your organization suggests blocking a road they’re either a fed or a useful idiot of feds.

Firsthand experience of course!

Yes it does. Try saying it sometime.
