which still has AI slop in it, either because AI is not detectable, almost nobody is going to self-watermark their AI outputs, or because a search engine that only shows content made before 2022 might not be that useful.

No, God wants a black women to start WWIII and sink the entire US navy and collapse the empire into 1000 years of humiliation. Why so worried about this random DJT pawn?

Devil's advocate: Some military plans might be more of a thought experiment or training exercise or black swan event prepping than a serious we totally gonna do this. For example, there are plans to invade Canada, plans for zombie invasions, etc..
Now to unadvocate for the devil, the "Zombie" plan can be recycled to apply for reacting to a US citizen led communist revolution, or mass rioting against Imperial interests, the "Nuke everyone but the US" plan might be useful if the US suddenly finds itself to be the last non-socialist country, etc..

The symbolic victory against Imperialist aggressors combined with the fact that the US might have spent the last 30 years laying off their shipbuilding capabilities and expertise is a day to look forward to.

In fact I do like the theory sinking a US carrier would be far worse than 9/11 for the average population

carnies explaining why mass murdering some sentient creatures is cool and normal but why murdering the ones they keep locked up in their homes is profane and horrifying.

ikr, the only mechanical point of failure I want is a slide out physical keyboard.
"""AI""" is at least predictive text on cocaine and a cleanup tool for camera photos, for better and for worse, I feel like Apple will release the most practical and least annoying version of this.

For me, picking computers degree was more of a last minute drug induced binger than a serious premeditated decision. I just happen to be hanging with some tech bros (one is a socialist now, the other fully reclused himself out of existence). I got the degree easily in 4 years, but they both dropped out and are a billion times smarter than me. They got jobs instantly, but I desperately needed the degree paper because my resume was going to be a long list of waitress positions thrown straight into the trash can without it.

I've have good experience with MEGA, they were offering 50GB free when I signed up, I think they're offering 20GB on their free tier now. Your files are stored on disk locally while also avaliable on the cloud via their website and mobile apps.

that person literally copied a list of games from the iOS app store games, did not investigate if any were pay-to-win, did absolutely no fact checking, made no actual claims about the games, but has successfully convinced you that you are stuck in the past.

This was a comment somewhere else, I wanted to make my own thread on it. One of these spoiler tags has a long rant. I think Stranger Things S1 is pretty good. After S1, you can stop at any time you're no longer feeling it and not be missing out on anything. ::: spoiler S2 spoilers most people didn't like S2 but I thought it was awesome, and agree there was a tiny drop of quality. ::: ::: spoiler S3 spoilers IMO S3 is where a serious quality drop starts. In addition to a general quality dip, the monster from S2 comes back but there is at least a twist so it's not as bad of a rehash as Star Wars episode 7 felt like. Also the Soviets built a secret military lab under a mall, they should have hired some people to rework that part of the plot. ::: ::: spoiler S4 spoilers S4 has a lot of cool stuff going on it, but it's all over the place in very silly ways. It has a lot of quality issues. The lore was ambiguous about what the Mind Flayer (S2) was. The absolutely worst part is when the lore in S4 established that the Mind Flayer was not in fact, some cool mysterious eldritch god (you know, something strange), but actually just some 40 year old asshole LARPing as a spider using magic dust who also has super powers for literally no fucking reason at all. If you can ignore the lore downgrade, the season's big bad (Vecna) is 50% okay and 50% *wtf when did this become a Marvel movie?*. The only thing they had to do to unfuck the lore was say "Vecna (some random asshole who has powers for no reason) and the Mind Flayer (eldritch shadow god thing) are working together (for literally any reason who cares)". FFS who cares about some random asshole LARPing as a spider? That's the fucking stupidest shit ever!!! First they're like "As a child, Vecna was obsessed with spiders." Then you're like *oh okay, that explains why he's working with this shadow monster who definitely does not look like a spider but close enough for someone whose weirdly obsessed with spiders to be interested. Because if someone was that obsessed with actual spiders, they'd LARP as something that looks a lot more like an actual fucking spider.* Then everything is good to go, until they quickly pull a fast one on you, like they forgot at the last second that someone was going to ask "yeah that's cool and all, BTW what does all this Vecna stuff have to do with S2/S3?" and then they do a quick lame exposition dump explaining that the upside down was just Vecna thinking about darkness and shit found some magic dust and used it to LARP as a spider (WHICH DOES NOT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE A SPIDER HOLY RETCON BATMAN), and it's extremely obvious this is a desperate attempt to retcon away the "sry kid, we were making it up as we go because netflix demanded with make more than one season" with "wow it was Vecna the whole time!!!" Then everybody gaslights you that this was planned from the beginning despite originally the show was planned to be an anthology (and S1 plays well as a complete self-contained show). :::

TW: Harry Potter ::: spoiler Was Harry Potter Ever Good? No ::: Video discusses flaws of the Harry Potter works by J.K. Rowling with comparisons to how other fictional YA novels/tv shows handled problematic topics.
Like do kids get made fun of for watching PragerU child indoctrination content, are they embarrassed that other kids get to watch "good shows", does it never get brought up, does it divide classmates politically earlier in life, or like what?
The doxing I'm talking about happened years ago, don't worry about that, everybody already went home on that, can't give any more information without redoxxing myself. I accidentally noticed I was logged into imgur today, I don't use the website, so that's a surprise. I decided to wander an old album of random person shit that shouldn't be uploaded straight into NSA land (aka five eyes, imgur, etc.), but you know, facebook/insta is probably technically worse and I got a lot more there anyways. I saw I had a random picture that could best be described as a horny prank photo, with my computer screen VERY VISIBLE AND READABLE in the background. I was curious about what the background details were on my computer, and then I noticed something very embarrassing. I had a windows download window open, and one of the files downloaded was a PDF with MY FULL NAME on on the filename, and MY UNIVERSITY's DOMAIN as the download source for the file. I remember the historical context of how and why I shared this picture, I'm aware of like 100 online mostly anonymous people, any one of which may have kept a copy for who knows how long, but long enough to figure out how to punish me for such a dumb mistake. I think for this theory to work, they must have gone to uni with me or have met one of my classmates, but that would be hard to prove without DMing lots of acquaintances on fb/insta, but everyone I'm online friends with from uni is basically upgraded to sus right now, this person might even be trying to collect more things on me until the time is right for a round 2. America delenda est.
