Sorry but this is just wrong. Embassy hostages in 79, Beirut bombings in 83, kidnappings in Lebanon in the 80s, Khobar Towers in 96, and they backed a bunch of the militias in Iraq.

If you mean no attacks on our soil, sure.

If in the future there's an Iran-linked terrorist attack against the US, or if Iran get nuclear weapons, it will be Donald Trump's fault. But there will be immense social pressure against saying so, because while factually accurate, it'll be considered partisan, biased, and old news.

Phenomenal videos. Helped me fix a coupe of very simple problems in my home. Don’t understand why everyone else does like a 10 minute video to answer a 25 second question.

The one exception is this plumber on YouTube who has a bunch of videos under 2 minutes where he’s like “ok, you have this problem? Here’s a picture of the tool you need. Here’s a picture of the part you need. Now let me skip straight to fixing it in a way you can see while I tell you what I’m doing.

Whenever I google something, whether it’s a video game walkthrough or some instructions on how to perform some kind of simple repair task, I always spend twice as long searching because I need some written words. Everyone wants to do a video instead and it takes forever.

He is saying that would have been great PR move. Not that it’s what would have happened.

Morally and strategically it was wrong. Not to mention stupid. But legally it was fine.

The legitimacy of the war is irrelevant. A state of war exists whether declared or not. The laws of armed conflict apply. The ship is a legitimate target. Jus ad bello is distinct from jus in bello.

Wait the image or the actual shirt, because the latter would be next level.

Touching by the history of Rome I actually think it’s decently likely all of this goes in the history books and then in a couple hundred years nobody believes it ever really happened.

Carter never supported Lieutenant Calley directly, but he proclaimed an “American Fighting Men's Day,” attacked those who he said were using “these events” to cheapen and shame servicemen and to shake the confidence of citizens in their own country. He did not condemn Lieutenant Calley, whom he called a scapegoat. There is no reason to think that Mr. Carter, himself once a professional military officer, ever felt any sympathy for Lieutenant Calley, or that he did not, as he says now, feel “abhorrence” for the young officer. Mr. Carter says now he acted to draw a distinction between honorable, blameless fighting men and Lieutenant Galley. The act could be read, however, as an attempt then to quiet the passions and retain the support of enraged conservatives, largely white, among Governor Carter's constituency; just as his more recent remarks could be seen as an attempt to appeal to a larger constituency today. Because motives can never be easily proved much will depend on the judgment of voters, which Mr. Carter says he respects.

NYT article from 1976. I never knew about this.

Good God this is so correct and so depressing.

It’s a casual way to do business, I don’t see the problem here.

Look man, my depression is already bad enough.

We need to start talking about BatteryChads vs. PetroCels.

I mean, the headline checks out.

Vat-grown meat. If we crack that it will solve the problem.

So remove them from the market until *checks notes* 1955.

God bless America, this America

You’re correct but still I refuse to accept that it isn’t a bit. It reads like something @bencollins.bsky.social published. If The Onion ran the same damn thing word-for-word it would be an incredible joke instead of whatever this was.

Oh it certainly depends who you are talking to. I am not a New Englander, I grew up in New Jersey, but my parents and grandparents are from Maine and NH and whenever I’m on the phone with my grandparents I start sounding like them even though it’s not my accent! My wife makes fun of me for it.

And putting the broader reasons aside, it definitely isn’t the miracle worker the people pushing it think it is, other than maybe for coding. (Coding people seem to love it, I don’t know how to code and thus can’t speak to that.)

Oh I totally get it. There are a lot of issues with it beyond just the need to check it, and I wouldn’t be using it if we weren’t told we needed to test it out. Just sharing my experience with what worked and whether didn’t.

But I agree there are broader reasons not to use it for things!

read the sources yourself, though, both to check them and to understand them. So I think it can be a helpful research tool in terms of finding things you need and summarizing them, but I would never rely on it without checking its work.

I think it depends what you use it for. We have been instructed to test out AI at work and the thinking models so a decent job of helping find regulatory guidance and statutory/rule citations, provided that you structure your query clearly enough and tell it to provide links/sources. You have to

See? This is why we need to require voter ID, I bet the enemy isn’t even American citizens.

LEVERAGE is the greatest. My wife and I have watched the whole thing like four times. Never gets old.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
