and depending on where they hang out on the internet, figurative myopia too!

But yeah, staring at a close distance for long periods of time tends to lead to nearsightedness in general. However, I’ve got myopia but not as bad as my siblings who spent less time in front of the screen growing up. Genetics plays a role too, among other factors.

Why would Biden bypass congress for arms sales that were “designated by many Congresses”?: https://apnews.com/article/us-israel-gaza-arms-hamas-bypass-congress-1dc77f20aac4a797df6a2338b677da4f

israel’s campaign of genocide that it has been waging for over a year (and more accurately, since its founding) is not defensive. Biden even claimed that he’d set a red line, but then he’d pretend nothing happened when israel crossed them: https://www.npr.org/2024/05/29/nx-s1-4983786/where-is-the-biden-administrations-red-line-when-it-comes-palestinian-deaths-in-gaza

Do you think 2,000-pound bombs are used for defensive purposes?: https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-sent-israel-thousands-2000-pound-bombs-since-oct-7-2024-06-28/

Oh, I see what you mean in that article:

The Biden administration has paused one shipment of the 2,000-pound bomb, citing concern over the impact it could have in densely populated areas in Gaza, but U.S. officials insist that all other arms deliveries continue as normal.

Wow, pausing a single shipment when israel already had more than enough to level all of Palestine. That really made a difference!

Corporations have always loved the boot, hence fascism.

Good idea threatening people who would want to do business with you, especially when your economy isn’t worth investing in even without the threats.

Hi, I’m still here to point out biden was supplying israel with billions in support as they committed genocide all the way until JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. How’s that for deafening silence?

By the way, think about what impression you give off when you spongebob text the word genocide. If it helps, try doing that with The Holocaust and think about how that looks.

Biden decided it was more important to send billions in weapons to israel as they committed genocide than to listen to protestors, so much so that he thought it was worth losing their votes over it. Harris continued with the same rhetoric. You’re ignoring over a year of things getting worse and worse in Palestine while insisting that somehow the democrats ignoring voters during an election when they need the votes are somehow going to make things better when they don’t need the votes. You’re admonishing people protesting against genocide in order to defend a party that has authorized billions in weapons to israel as they’re committing genocide, with Biden even bypassing congress to do so. Think about it.

Better that than a nonconsensual call out of nowhere.

It’s too bad the CPU path for PhysX is crappy. It would be a good use of the many cores/threads we have available to us these days.

Unfortunately they may not have a choice in the matter, realistically speaking, with who is in charge of the US right now.

edit: of course I get downvoted for being realistic. Sorry, I meant to say Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a super duper man who will single-handedly take on Russia even with US support pulled out from under him and even if that US support is given to Russia because of Trump. Seriously folks, the situation sucks, but let’s not delude ourselves. Don’t be surprised if Ukraine ends up having to accept shit terms because the US, being the main pillar of support, has been taken over by a shit-heel.

Remember this and the many other examples when they try to call themselves “the most moral army in the world”.

Presence is nine-tenths of the rule.

I fucka da pizza

It’s not just the act of spending on the military, it’s about control which they get through the use of the military.

US support was never out of the goodness of their hearts, there was always going to be a price to pay, but of course trump goes about it in the most hamfisted way possible.

That works if you’re in a position of power and don’t need to rely on the people you’re reneging on.

I’ll eat almost anything so there are plenty of examples but I’ll pick one of my favorites: chicken hearts. They’re tasty and have a satisfying springiness to them! Organ meats in general get unfairly hated upon, I feel.

In the first, the AI model was programmed to detect whether it was about to be shut down and to replicate itself before it could be terminated. In the other, the AI was instructed to clone itself and then program its replica to do the same – setting up a cycle that could continue indefinitely.

Like how any regular application can be instructed to copy itself i.e. a computer worm? Not exactly shocking for a computer program to do.

Their power connectors are melting up just like their stock.

Sometimes my alarm does me a solid and keeps quiet.

Wow, that truly is a wonderful result! I’m fine with soft-boiled though.
