  • Federal takeover, no. Now, federalizing National Guard units and having them and ICE police polling places in swing states to make sure "people vote correctly"?

  • Plus all the shock absorption for the lense. And the avionics if you don't plan to just have this thing drop film into a predetermined area (like the old Keyhole sats or the U-2).

  • Well our next target according to Dear Leader Trump is Cuba, so maybe. Why not run a war on 3 separate continents at once, multifront wars are always totally winnable.

  • No, it already does. Facial-ID stuff already throws hundreds of false positives.

  • No no, Lindsey Graham was pretty clear that this is a war for oil. You can extract oil from a fallout zone, you just need a large amount of workers who you don't care about. Wonder where they might find those.

  • Again, this is standard wealth transfer to corporate America. All that cash goes into these senator's pockets via the MIC.

  • I keep telling people these aren't distractions. Iran might've started that way, but Venezuela, Mexico, now Cuba, and probably anywhere else in the Caribbean or South America that doesn't play ball with the regime - these are wars of expansion. Trump wants more things he can point to and say "I did that" and doing colonialism by proxy like we did with Venezuela already looks easy, and it generates your name in the news an awful lot. Never mind that all the companies and expats and their kids are still sore about being forced off the island at gunpoint by the revolution, and the CIA is definitely STILL wanting payback for the Bay of Pigs.

  • Legitimately nothing. I think this is MS looking for use cases, because they have sunk all their capacity into AI. They cannot detangle themselves from their AI, and they're trying to course correct into SOMETHING that might be profitable and pull them out of their death spiral.

  • Legitimately the dude is a sociopathic teenager.

    "Why would I wanna spend time with Grandma or the kids or my wife or my dog when I can sit and play video games and draw cool stuff in my notebooks."

    I don't think any of these fucking weirdos know what "genuine human connection" IS. I don't think any of them have actually internalized a genuine, caring relationship at any point. They know how the steps of the dance, they can do it on command, but it's soulless.

  • Getting every episode of Dr Oz uploaded to your frontal lobes.

  • Nope, Corey is out of the house now too.

  • There might not have been OPENLY, but I highly doubt a group that literally refers to detained illegal migrants as "tonks" for the sound a flashlight makes hitting a human skull in its official documentation, mind you was not already happy to recruit open white supremacists.

  • Also no way to enforce. DOJ won't bother and they know it.

  • Overdose on Benadryl like a responsible person.

  • Russia nukes Kyiv, China nukes Taiwan, North Korea (assuming delivery capabilities) nukes Seoul, India probably drops nukes on China and Pakistan, etc. It's the actual Domino Theory people were talking about during the Cold War, they just thought the domino was communism. Once the bandaid gets ripped off and nuclear weapons are an accepted and normalized tool of conventional war, they're now EVERYONE'S first resort.

  • The issue is that we've been looking at these people as misguided idiots rather than the thugs that ICE/CBP always were. They're acting exactly as we should expect, except now they've got an admin backing them to the hilt on literally anything and everything they do.

    When you have a structure that's been BUILT out of rotted wood, you can't just replace the most obvious rot and call it good.

  • Nah, if we're comparing them to feudal failsons, these are the sorts of kids that nobles would send off to become monks. They wouldn't be any good at ruling effectively or really doing much, but they'd be in a monastery and out of the way.

  • I think autocorrect made Gareth from Garak.
