In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

Ohmygod! You're going to be like Agent Smith.


I am going to spend the next while studying how this shit works, and if I can set up a feedback loop between a few of them just yelling "SHUT UP" and "FUCK YOU, JABRONI" back and forth for a few months.  Then set them loose.

It's probably not that cool, though.

If there's a voice response option, I can just talk to it while I'm driving on Speedway or I-10.

Well... environment is everything. If you can't make TGRR replicants through the base programming perhaps it can be trained. The idea of systematically teaching a robot to sling verbal abuse and maybe even recognize "trigger" behaviors seems almost worse than just giving AI drones guns and things. Imagine discovering that a hated internet nemesis was in fact nobody at all, or potentially hundreds of folks being riled up and NEVER knowing it was one or more bots?

:evil:

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Apparently calling Jill Stein and her party, or rather just homeopaths and anti-vaccers stupid voices that don't warrant being given a voice in the greater political process means I get unfriended. :lulz:

Jill Stein is the Dunning-Krugerest candidate. She has strong opinions on things she has zero qualification to have opinions about at all.

Even her opinions on things she's qualified to have an opinion about (ie; as a medical physician) she's wrong or at the very least pandering to the conspiratorial loony left (homeopathy research and the dangers of vaccines are being suppressed by Big Pharma?!?!), so I'm not surprised.

Cain

I see her economic plan will "end unemployment and poverty".  Not "reduce" or mitigate, but actually completely and totally eradicate it forever.

It kind of makes me wonder how long ago she stopped keeping up with scientific literature. She has a background that implies she should understand it, yet her policies seem to indicate that she either doesn't understand or, more likely, doesn't keep up with it.

She stopped practicing (and teaching) in 2006.

She should really know better, then, unless she was already deep into woo at that point.

None of which makes me feel like she would be a good political leader. She's just not... sharp enough.

I'm having a bit of a rash of that, myself.   :lulz:

I have berners blocking me at a rate of about 10 per day because I am a filthy fucking traitor to The Cause who should be sewn into a sack full of cats and be dropped down a storm sewer.

And that's 2 more, for pointing out that voting for Trump because you're butthurt is the act of shitting on what passes for your own principles.  That you don't have principles, you have a hobby.
