Yeah, pretty sure Sam Altman is an investor in Praxis which is another one of those projects to make a billion run fifedom.

Quickly, ask AI how to improve or practice critical thinking skills!

Isn't the 50 state protest in just a few days? On the 17th.

Dang, Norway and Sweden are doing great things.

I feel like emma is going to have an awesome life.

What was the one with premium subscription for heated seats? I think it was Mercedes.

...and I think Audi dabbled in this area but backed down.

Ao that's Mercedes, Audi, and Jeep I'll never buy from, and obviously Tesla too.

EDIT Oh dear, it's so much worsethan I knew:

TOYOTA how could you???

No, the joke you're making is about Anonymous, and the authorities trying to find the leader of them.

Antifa (Antifaschistische Aktion, Anti Fascism) on the other has and will periodically form into local chapters (usually out of members of other more permanent anarchist, communist, and protest groups), to participate in protests, produce things like stickers or book drives, run pop-up or community libraries, events and form other organizational structures, events, or projects.

You're confusing temporary, and anarchistic, with not existing.

From Wikipedia:

The contemporary antifa movement has its roots in the West German Außerparlamentarische Opposition left-wing student movement and largely adopted the aesthetics of the first movement while being ideologically somewhat dissimilar. The first antifa groups in this tradition were founded by the Maoist Communist League in the early 1970s. From the late 1980s, West Germany's squatter scene and left-wing autonomism movement were the main contributors to the new antifa movement and in contrast to the earlier movement had a more anarcho-communist leaning. The contemporary movement has splintered into different groups and factions, including one anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist faction and one anti-German faction who strongly oppose each other, mainly over their views on Israel.

So yeah, antifa is a movement which does periodically have people participate in it. They're just usually temporary and anarchistic.

Likewise with the French Resistance, or Marquis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis_(World_War_II) - yes there were various groups, and they had different structures, some of which were independent detached cells, but at various points some were aided with more official supply, intel, organization, and assistance from allied forces, and required more communication and so some become more "official" due to this. So it was mixed, some completely independent, others less so.

This is part of what makes these organizations effective, and difficult to stop. It's not the same as them not existing.... Not having set and formal national leadership, being temporary, or anarchistic, is not the same as not existing, or having no members.

You got things backwards.

The hackers known as anonymous all went their separate ways long ago, leaving 4chans anonymous to be little more than a series of social media accounts releasing videos periodically. You say "they released a statement yesterday".... Er... That's all they do. They haven't had any power and members with skill sets since 2008 or so.

...and antifa do exist. Most anarchist are, or are willing to call themselves antifa. A huge number of people used black block (blocking out), and mutual aid to manage, organize, and run the Black Lives Matters riots, and the Portland Corrections protests.

Behind the Bastards had a whole series detailing it, including all the local chapters and groups that cropped up or started in that period.

So pretty much the opposite of what you said: Anonymous doesn't really exist beyond constantly releasing statements, and antifa does exist and will most likely take up organizational roles if any long term street protests erupt.

Interesting that he's making this offer now, isn't it. Almost like he's recently got access to a large sum of money.

They know they can't do anything, but everyone was yelling "Do something!".

Is this The News? Looking forward to listening to some Weather Report later.

Just waiting for them to start demanding "Reparations for the white man!"....

Then Elon can finally rest assured knowing he's made the US feel like South Africa.

Everything is going to be temporary for the next four years, then we'll see if it's permanent.

I wouldn't trust Han Solo doing this, but I'd totally trust Harrison Ford doing this.

He handled it well in fact, saying he thought they Time was out of business, then complimenting Elon's performance in his role.

...the Liberal media painting this as a huge win, rather than honestly admitting "We're too scare to ask about Musk's conflicts of interests because we represent the same rich assholes ge does" is part of how they contribute to the disconnect between politics and reality... And it's part of how the election was lost, via sane washing, clickbaiting, and selective ignorance.

Hey, instead of asking him about a magazine cover - then acting like it's some huge win when he pretends to think the magazine was out of business, and goes on to complete Musk...

....maybe just maybe, you could ask him how Musk's department might go about investigating SpaceX grants and the government funding it get?

You could even use bog adult journalism terms like "Conflict of Interest".

Trying to do a set amount of exercise games in VR helped me get more fit. I'm not good at sticking with something but pretty great at playing the same sections of a video game telling me what movements to do everyday.

Just having things to do/try as exercise everyday was more fun/rewarding for my brain.... But I had to make sure they were exercise too.

Then I'd do more as I got healthier, and eventually I attached weights to my wrists and legs.

But if you're a mechanic you might want to ease into it, because of your back.

P.S also what everyone else said about diet is true... And both options, dietary changes and exercise will leave you feeling tired or lethargic until your body falls into line... So a lot of results come from mental discipline and committing to never missing a day or cheating yourself. Gotta hang in there and do your best to firgive and recover when you faulter.

Not my Mittens, he's a good boy!

Since November?

...try 2014.

I spent ten years trying to point out this stuff, ever since the alt-right first emerged and tried to popularize the term "Cultural Marxism".

Had to counter that one by becoming a Wikipedian, and that sucked.

Since November? Nope. Your alarm is broke, mine went off way too early.

Being a woman she should probably fire herself then.
