You seem like someone who hasn’t spent enough of their life being called a moron.

If you aren’t trolling for bait, you are certainly a moron based on everything you’ve written here, you may want to consider an IQ test to find out if you are mentally handicapped.

I am not joking tho for your sake I wish I was.

Not really. It’s pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.

The elected doctor. /s

Jk, I had a hard time pinpointing the target of speech as well, the final comment about holding elected office was the only indicator I found. Most people are really poor communicators/writers, eh?

It seemed to me that the “beautiful propaganda” as you call it… and I can’t really disagree with you… could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas… even a soldier in the show does that).

So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically… then compare the two perspectives. In this case you’re the critic and I’m devil’s advocate.

Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I’d guess probably. But who knows.

What about hang gliders being piloted during a tornado by a South Korean corporate heiress? No? Damn, they never learn.

“Wow Johnson, no matter how much biased data we feed this thing it just keeps repeating biases from human society.”

Sample input from a systematically racist society (the entire world), get systematically racist output.

No shit. Fix society or “tune” your model, whatever that entails…

Obviously only one of these is feasible from a developer perspective.

Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.

People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to “randoms” just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.

And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.

Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It’s an iterative process, you don’t have to resolve it in a day.

Another one bites the dust.

I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.
(events happen)
Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.
(events happen)
Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

If you’re going to do the “both sides” thing. Then directly compare via measurable elements.

120,000+ (Palestine) in retaliation for 1,200 (Israel).

67 years occupied (Palestine) vs 0 years occupied.

Countless homes bulldozed in 67 years vs occasional successful terrorist attacks.

Oh wait, I get why you do the vague thing now… because when you draw it out proportionally Israel looks like a demon.

The “both sides bad” thing doesn’t work anymore, it’s played out and most people see through it. Though I guess you didn’t, so maybe it has some merit.

I did not know that, thank you.

Keep in mind this is an undercount of Palestinian death.
I’ve heard counts well over 100,000.
Keep in mind that 67,000 of those deaths are women and children.

If that is their contribution to the world, Israel deserves no allies. Disarm them. Alienate them. Embargo them. Let them know what it’s like to go at it alone.

As long as the jackass doesn’t sell, they’re solid.

I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he’d sell it, “Don’t wanna be too risky,” he’d say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing…

Then, “Omg it’s up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!” then repeat pattern A again.

Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.

Tbh after being rejected for card the first day or two in Yokohama, I just stopped asking and assumed cash. So tbh it sounds like I could have used a card more, but I enjoyed handling the cool-looking money so it was a win-win 😁

2023, Yokohama, Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, Yokosuka then back to Yokohama. In three weeks I saw one toilet with no bidet. And all of the bidets were nicer than my $300 one at home… was awesome.

Sorry for the change in topic to bidet. Every week or so I’d withdraw like $300-$500 in yen and just survive off that til I was below $100 then I’d hit an atm again. Money went far because of a favorable exchange rate… and alcohol and food are extremely cheap in Japan even without those factors.

In Hiroshima, we went into a bar with 8 seats (common for bars and restaurants to only be able to host 1-2 groups, it was neat), anyway four of us drank 4-6 drinks, beers, mixed drinks, etc… I swear the barman must have given us a deal, when the check came we asked them to double check it because we thought it was wrong… about $50 for ~20-25 drinks. Insane. That was the case in most every city but Hiroshima was the cheapest bar tab I ever saw relative to the amt we consumed.

For the record, the Japanese drink like the Irish stereotype, they go HARD.

Yep I was gonna say… and Japan. 95% of places I went were cash only, I think I only used my debit card once during a trip of weeks.

However if you put it on the outside of the bucket nothing changes at all and this comment is a pointless thief of your time and attention. Sorry.

We’ve all done it, I’m sorry if my joke wasn’t apparent as well. Text is dumb.

(Any person hesitant to work with the police)

The internet “She was clearly insane.”

Every time someone says she’s acting weird I just can’t help but wonder if they live in a place with zero black people. Everything about her behavior made sense. It’s late at night, she’s disoriented, she was recovering from surgery and likely on medication, she lives in a world where people who look like her are executed daily.

A person 15 inches taller than her and 3x her weight is being a massive cunt, interrogating her about her home and car and showing no interest in making her feel safe… Hmmm, why did she hesitate? sHe MUsT bE cRazY.

Next time you are incapacitated, sick, injured, imagine the police coming by. “This man is clearly on drugs in their own house, better interrogate them.”

IF YOU CAN’T BE OUT OF IT IN YOUR OWN FUCKING HOUSE WHERE CAN YOU? OH NO THEY DIDN’T BEHAVE PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN THEIR OWN HOME LATE ATE NIGHT WHEN EVERYONE IS TIRED, GUESS THEY NEEDED TO DIE.
