  • It could always play it if you reminded it of the board state every move. Not well, but at least generally legally. And while I know elites can play chess blind, the average person can't, so it was always kind of harsh to hold it to that standard and criticise it not being able to remember more than 5 moves when most people can't do that themselves.

    Besides that, it was never designed to play chess. It would be like insulting Watson the Jeopardy bot for losing against the Atari chess bot, it's not what it was designed to do.

  • I'd argue random online leftists criticizing non perfection is exactly why Trump won.

    This isn't to say we should turn a blind eye to or ignore the valid criticisms, and I get that people think that's exactly what you're saying if argue in this direction. It's just, wouldn't it be better if people were currently protesting and petitioning for Harris to do something about the issues they didn't like her stance on, rather than protesting essentially illegal deportations in their own country?

    I feel like it's kinda missing the forest for the trees.

  • Exactly. I'm so tired of watching the left destroy themselves from the inside. Progress is slow. The right are clearly masters of playing the long game, they've been building to current events for decades. They're happy to take the 10% wins bit by bit. They're happy to make sacrifices for their progress.

    Meanwhile the left demands nothing but perfection, and constantly cannibalises itself for not being perfect and revolutionising the world day 1.

    You don't have to suddenly love the guy, rewrite history, or swear loyalty. You just have to know when someone's actually helping and not get in the way.

    The right wins because they fight together. Business conservatives, evangelicals, fascists, libertarians. They might hate each other behind the scenes, but they march in line, and they'll eat burnt toast with a smile if it gets them closer to running the kitchen.

  • I get why you'd ask, but I don't think so. Seems to just be a case of English as a second language to me.

  • Fine I deleted it. But it worked so whatever don't need opinions now anyway. I was just asking for advice, it's not like I was trying to pass it off as my own comment or something.

  • I'm pretty sure their point is tabloids exist because there's a market of thousands if not millions of people that want to know about and think about people they don't know, such as this guy.

  • They got confused and thought they were talking about actual Zendaya.

  • Hubris

    Jump
  • With their fingers. Why do you think we invented touch screens.

  • How about a pair of jeans?

    If anyone wants to see an entertaining mathematician talk about this exact topic for 30 minutes, here you go:

  • Your final sentence is the point. We didn't have 1000s of nukes worldwide back then. If no one will dare to stop Russia attacking Ukraine with any meaningful amount of force under threat of nuclear war, why would anyone attack USA?

    What about North Korea? Everyone knows what's going on there isn't right, but I don't see the world banding together to overthrow their government and change things.

    I think the 100 men vs bear meme is pretty relevant here as well. It's one thing to say IF every country bands together they can take on USA, it's another thing entirely to say you could get the world to all agree to that at once. And whoever makes the first move would likely be decimated.

    And you're right, if USA is backed entirely into a corner, Trump is crazy enough to press the nuke button. All it takes is him getting a few high up fanatics to go along with it. So the bear is also wearing a dead man's switch.

  • Parades close down the street with barricades/detours and such so cars don't have the option to dangerously drive at them.

  • You close the entire street

    Right. You close the entire street, with barricades/detours and such. I don't know what parade you're going to but the ones I've been to don't parade down both sides of the street while giving cars the option to drive down them.

  • Funny how no one would be on the side of a driver driving into oncoming traffic. They're not acting like drivers unless you want to lump them in with absolute moron dangerous drivers.

    Hold up traffic by staying in the proper lane and following road rules like cars and I'll be on their side.

  • No but how about do this but only in the proper lane? You're still causing attention/inconvenience, but it's a lot less likely someone is going to mow you down from behind over driving slowly behind you, versus riding directly into oncoming traffic.

  • I'm well aware but the people that have the ability to influence that couldn't care less. It's kind of like worrying about a nuclear war at this point, if it happens we're all pretty much dead, and 99% of us aren't part of the decision to launch them.

    I've done/do as much activism on climate change that I can in the last 20 years. It's basically as pointless as petitioning those in power to dismantle their nuclear bombs. No one in power is interested.

  • Yeah if the Boston massacre was enough so would this be.
