This was my first thought. When I learned how to drive, the rule was one car length per 10 mph. So at highway speeds of 70, that would be 7 car lengths of space to ensure enough distance to safely stop or avoid a collision. I see approximately 0% of people following this rule nowadays, and while I try to maintain it myself, it often results in a stream of vehicles merging in front of me and messing up my distance. Fun times.

I mean…it’s still the best ffdshow wrapper imho

Afaik this is precisely what the captcha data was intended for - training AI models. Originally leveraged machine learning. LLMs are a slightly different paradigm but same purpose and results here.

Gah, I knew it! Curse you deep state!!

Why is nobody finding the “Autist Autocracy” interesting as well?!

JFC, win_blows_.

lol!

lmao even.

Ah yes, the “Twin Towers”

No…there is another!

First of all, I just want to acknowledge how humorous the point you’re making is given your name, Zek.

Second, I hear you. What I’m saying is that in the states we have seen a disturbing lack of interest in trust busting over the past 20-30 years, and it’s led to some ridiculous monopolization in some markets. Tech is definitely one area that suffers from this. You’re right that EU regulators could push back on this if they wanted to, but think about what that might mean if nvidia/intel decided to play hardball. We are presently in a golden age of AI where nvidia’s products are basically the mainstay of the entire market…it could really set the EU back competitively if they chose to refuse those products at this particular juncture. I think they would face enormous pressure to simply accept the deal, in this hypothetical.

Don’t be so sure about that.

We’re long overdue for a new reform party to run on few or single issue platforms, eg. to end FPTP and institute national ranked choice or star voting. They’d certainly be immune from corporate bribe money trying to drop these policies.

If they ran as independents to do just that, they’d have my vote. And it’s crazy enough it just might work.

This stood out to me as well, and I too find myself potentially eating the onion on this one.

What a time to be alive!

How you do that?!

We must defend the PPS! (Physical Psychological and Social) From benereal disease. OK Computor

Pretty sure there was another female agent who was covering him in front, so this meme seems a bit cherry picked

A vote for Biden, who according to all polling and public sentiment will clearly lose to Trump in November, is throwing away your vote.

Educate yourself to at least not mis-gender those who would better represent you, and it may be the first step towards our country recovering from the neoliberal mess we’re presently trapped within.

Alright, everything’s coming up Mildred!

Democratic politicians feel this way because they are mostly friends with their colleagues across the aisle. They all eat at the same luncheons together, hang out at the same establishments in DC, attend the same fundraisers and lobbying events.

I think the voters tend to have a different point of view from those in DC. Consider that even Republican lawmakers were running for their life on Jan6. Dem voters are growing fatigued with the constant gaslighting from the establishment politicians, and hopefully soon might provide cause for their “elected representatives” to flee as well. At this point we’ve been left with painfully few alternatives.

Lastly just want to say I do agree with full treason charges for anyone involved with Jan6. Obstruction was a laughable wrist slap, this is far too serious for such measures. The rioters kind of had the right idea but for literally all of the wrong reasons. It’s tea party republicans all over again (which was funded by Koch bros of course). Instead of addressing this in a serious manner, Dems considered doing nothing at all for 2 years before they finally started bringing the wrong charges. Pathetic.

DNC would rather lose than have an actual progressive win

This was made perfectly clear in 2016 when Hillary stole the nom by colluding with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

If people haven’t caught on by now, they haven’t been paying attention. Or are just willfully ignorant.
