Can you imagine how easily the taliban could have taken out Epstein island if they weren’t frequently flyers there (probably)

Look what were you supposed to do you had a bunch of stories you had to publish about how trans people exist and that’s bad for reasons you made up.

Total waste for terrorists to come after the general public, we control nothing and these assholes don’t listen to us in the least. If terrorists start bombing billionaires they’ll get results.

Our terror buys you nothing. These guys are halfway to ISIS already that’s your lever

And the idea that things are done solely for political calculus is very chuck Schumer thanks for advising our decades of preemptive surrender

People act as if not being a senator was murdering Al Franken he’s fucking fine and faced relatively mild consequences for serial shitty behavior. He did not die for your sins dorks.

Also like: the courage of our convictions, and the ability to win an argument that one doesn’t need to have done something warranting prison or execution to be unworthy of public office. They *should* be our best.

Like I don’t need the dude to be an out and out Nazi to think he shouldn’t be one of the most powerful people in the country he seems, at best, like a fucking idiot.

What fucking smear man dude literally admitted to having the tattoo for years. Is a military history buff (concerning) former soldier of fortune (very concerning) appears on Nazi podcasts (deep red flag) and had a Nazi tattoo, possibly accidentally

And calling a smear is some fucking baiting bullshit man. Ain’t nobody smearing him, He did that shit. You just decided you don’t care.

Babe doing a lot of work to excuse a fucking SS tattoo that he admitted to having and his defense is getting turned into a different white supremacy symbol then going on a Nazi pod

But you are being helpful! They either missed the email, or left a draft in their outbox.

Or, they are jerks, but then who cares.

No response from me means I missed the email, or left my response in drafts. This is the only version I accept

this is a good summary

I've found myself significantly more productive using AI coding tooling at work, but that is in large part because I've been here for fifteen years and know quite a lot about the code I'm working with

I've also seen the results of not being careful, and they aren't pretty

This is also incorrect. Specific assholes and data centers are absolutely a problem. Rational LLM use does not require this and is not inherently power or water thirsty

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
