That was the point he jumped the shark for me. His Twitter takeover, constant placating of the right and efforts to get Trump re-elected had already pushed him from “edgelord memer and shitposter” to “alt-right nutcase”, but the salute immediately jumped him to “irredeemably evil monster”.

It would certainly explain the absurdist hellworld we appear to exist in today, that’s for sure.

Man do I love me some backhanded compliments like this one.

This is the kind of emotional intelligence that the vast majority of the population lack. And I am not sure how we can get more folks to get to this point.

That headline is a sentence so white trash I grew a mullet just reading it.

I hate how you are probably right. At least regarding the timing of the whole situation.

And Greenland for that matter. Hopefully they learned from jacking off over their history books to equip their troops with winter gear this time, or they’ll learn the exact same lessons Napoleon and Adolf did.

Can the US not start armed conflicts everywhere at once? I mean, I know their military is big and well-funded, but at some point you’ll hit an untenable number of simultaneous fronts. Ask you history teacher how to ended up working out for the Germans. Twice.

Yeah, that was some baffling leadership.

It’s almost like the ousted CEO of Stellantis was onto something with his “Dare Forward” plan. But apparently having long-term vision is punished by the market, so now they’re bringing back gas guzzling V8s and fucking small-car diesel engine options (despite them being banned in more and more inner cities in Europe).

Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.

Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.

Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.

Same here in western Canada. We average 8 meters of snow per year here, and I think we haven’t even seen a third so far.

This is a great idea.

I’m using Thunderbird with IMAP to my own email server for my new email, but I can totally see something like that working to make the transition work. Thanks!

It does, but that still means Google has access to all my accounts related email until I move everything over. I suppose it’s a good backstop though, thanks for the tip :-)

This would be me if only there was some way to easily determine where I have used my @gmail address in the past 20 years. I have already set up another address that I own myself and have moved a bunch of stuff over, but I don’t want to lose access to the rest of my accounts tied to my Gmail address.

Although I suppose I could go through my Keepass and list all logins that use my gmail, then chip away at that…

Can’t find it easily, but I did find a could find Usain Bolt against normies. Got a link of your vid?

God I would hate to be his press secretary, your days have to be a nonstop panic of “he did/said/tweeted WHAT now?”.

Just totally normal stuff here folks, nothing to see. Just move along and don’t realize a couple of protestors are being treated like a goddamn violent insurrection.

The folks in charge are pouring all the gasoline they can find onto the fire in hopes of it actually escalating into a war zone.

Correct, and exactly what I was referring to when talking about ICE.

As for the exact history, the original SS were nothing but a bunch of untrained thugs too. Hitler has just grown distrustful of the SA and wanted his bodyguard to be loyal to him alone instead of the party. This is also what ultimately led to the night of the long knives and the execution of Ernst Röhm. It wasn’t until Himmler took control of the SS in 1929, and with the institution of military training in 1934, that they slowly formed into an actual military organization with properly trained soldiers.
