  • Nah, these guys were BUILT to survive cold weather. The bison there, depending on how old it is, is anywhere from the size of a motorcycle to the size of an SUV, with a large chunk of that being straight fat and thick fur. Probably not loving it, but they'll be fine enough.

  • You actually might be able to station enough ships to do so. A single carrier group is built to effectively control a small nation's worth of sea on its own through air power. Combine that with naval and air bases across the world, you could potentially blockade trade across a LOT of areas.

  • Specifically the literal CIA themselves said that the information they got from "enhanced interrogation" techniques was low quality at best, untrustworthy, and largely inactionable.

  • This is why you do not put bits you would like to keep attached anywhere near a powered rotating spindle.

  • And worse, they're on the rise. Neonazis know kids are easy to flip, even more now with the way things are now.

  • A lot of places are finding workarounds in order to not deal with this and potentially open up serious legal avenues. I know my company is actively avoiding sending anyone here from anywhere else because of shit like this.

  • Even then, an LLM isn't going to be able to actually diagnose a problem. It's just very sophisticated word prediction, it doesn't actually THINK, even if it looks like it does.

  • Money. Access to extremely advanced and intimate healthcare at a moment's notice.

  • Oh no, this is McCarthyism with Stalinist characteristics. You name 3 collaborators, and then they take you into the back room and shoot you anyway.

  • Yeah, this was "started" by fucking HUAC. They've just figured out how to shift the narrative crosshairs.

  • Can't look too Old, because then your audience might not take you seriously. Mid-20s at BEST, unless you can look Old And Erudite, in which case you might be able to pull off mid-40s.

  • This is actually why a lot of public schools are so poorly funded now. Back in the civil rights era, white families who could afford it sent their kids to private schools after desegregation, where their schools could still be segregated (because they didn't receive federal funds). The white people who couldn't send their kids off to private or religious schools decided that "if we have to share space with black folk, we'll just drag our formerly-white schools down to the level that black schools were at". Cue a generation or two growing up with poorly-funded schools and it turns rapidly into a tradition - "we've always had low taxes from the school district, why do we need to increase it half a mill".

  • Yeah, they keep redefining it every few years so they can say "oh it's race realism" or identifying trends or whatever rather than "I'm one step shy of my grandpappy who canvassed for George Lincoln Rockwell".

  • To be entirely fair, a lot of historians are fairly sure that the Art of War was written specifically for the commanders - which at this time could mean "battle hardened warlord king" or "spoiled prince who has literally never set foot outside the palace". In an age of nobility going to war, this was more a primer for "hey here's how to at least command like you know what you're doing and also how to not get your soldiers to stab you to death".

  • At least a full 2/3 of the people that were supposed to be there when it was shut down a couple months ago (before it reopened) can't be accounted for.

    Yeah.

  • Pretty much why I'm anti-death-penalty in all cases. The state shouldn't be allowed to deal death as a punishment, because there's too much at stake. You can't un-kill someone if you get things wrong, and prosecutors have a vested interest in, at the very least, not being wrong. Being right doesn't matter, but being wrong can cost you your position or your credibility within the legal field. Killing the defendant wraps things up nicely because a corpse can't defend itself, and it can't say "I wasn't there" or "I had nothing to do with this", it can't plead its own innocence - so you can put whatever words you like into their mouths and it plays perfectly with a jury.

  • Basically they're terrified that this might open doors. That's almost always what it is. They're scared that someone might start asking questions about OTHER cases and saying "hey, what if those were wrongfully decided as well?". A lot of states love executing people who are problematic - poor people, people of color, mentally disabled people - because it's easier for police to pin literally whatever on them in order to clear up a backlog or to make themselves look competent.

  • The Earth is too cold for them because these demons are used to living in Hell.

  • An infantry officer who was only part of the National Guard, at that.
