Nice analogy. I should clean my shower.

Having to use windows 11 for work for the last few years.

(1) Randomly a program on the taskbar just has an invisible icon. Like you can click it but if you don't know it's there it just seems like that program is gone. I keep waiting it to be fixed after every forced update 3-4x a week. Still happening.

(2) Sometimes the entire process just disappears graphically. Not even an invisible icon on the task at. Still running in the background but it's gone in the UI. Have to manually kill it or restart.

(3) I can't unzip multiple ZIP files at the same time. Like I can't select multiple ZIP files and extract them all into their own folder. Something that worked since I've used windows. Worked on windows 10, 7, and XP. It now just unzips only the file you right click even if multiple are selected.

I'm sure there are more but I avoid using windows and mostly just use it to connect to a work VPN and SSH into my redhat VM. Still, all 3 of these really common issues have existed for at least two years. The first two are constant on MS teams and Outlook. Literally no excuse, they are windows apps. Total garbage OS.

They are right when it comes to understanding LLMs the LLM definitely understands LLMs better than they do. I'm sure an AI could have a perfect IQ test. But has a really hard time drawing a completely full glass of wine. Or telling me how many R's are in the word strawberry. Both things a child could do.

Until you ask them how many R's are in strawberry.

From my small experience as an a American. Netherlands had some really reliable transit. Never had a problem in France though definitely not as nice as Netherlands. Italy was definitely hit and miss depending on the city but loved the high speed rail from Naples to Rome. Germany was reliable during October Fest so I assume at least Munich is reliable if it was good at that time. Though I wouldn't say I used much in Germany.

Other countries I've been to but I'll just list cities for these because I didn't go much anyone else for them: Prague, Budapest, Vienna

I can't say there was a single country/city here that had transit that was worse than the best transit in the US. Was it all perfect? No. But compared to fucking Amtrak that literally has to stop for hours at a time while we wait for other freight trains to pass. Literally multiple times during a single train ride.

Some countries may not be the first meme. But what major city in Europe has worse local transit than say Chicago or New York? Or worse heavy rail than Amtrak? Just honestly asking.

I don't think anything could be worse than Amtrak.

You know you could have responded to something I said instead of essentially going: "nuh uh!" And spamming a bunch of links.

Like, do you want to have a conversation or do you just want to vommit garbage in response?

I explained to you how Lenin used the word to refer to the capitalist class and WHY the capitalist class was the "middle class" in Tsarist Russia. Do you want to discuss that? Do you have a counter argument? Or do you just Google "Lenin/stalin bad" and copy and paste a bunch of random links you clearly did not even read.

Like, gee, I can't wait to read allthatsinteresting.com. I'm sure that will tell me more about Lenin than reading the actual books he wrote. Glad I don't read books because I have allthatsinteresting.com!!!!

I think it's pretty antisemitic to equate all Jews with Israel. That would be like equating all Muslims with ISIS.

But I doubt it's worth my time to try to explain this to you if you think not supporting Israel is antisemitic. If you still think this in 2025 nothing I say will help you. You have to be purposely closing your eyes at this point.

You seem to be confusing the meaning of "middle class" of bourgeoisie. This did not refer to what we think of today as "middle class". This was in reference to a pre-revolutionary fuedal societies like Tsarist Russia. The "Upper class" being the structures of the monarch. The middle class being the bourgeoisie (the capital owning class). And the lowest class the proletariat (working class).

Obviously when we use bourgeoisie today we do not have a Monarchy. So it is still referring to the capitalist class. Revolutions were fought against monarchs that were replaced by the bourgeoisie (capitalist class). Lenin believed that instead of having a revolution to capitalism from fuedalism, that Russia could transition from a fuedal to socialist society and skip the rule of the bourgeoisie.

Lenin was not "targeting" what we think of today as "the middle class". If someone told you that without explaining the above history they were either lying or ignorant.

Billionaires are by definition Bourgeoisie as their wealth is earned by ownership of the means of production and not from a wage as workers are. That's why people like me still use the term "Bourgeoisie" today specifically to avoid confusion with what "middle class" means today. The bourgeoisie is a well defined term by Marxist-Leninist to mean "the capitalist class".

Yikes at this being downvoted. You're literally just saying "Haha it's ok to deport people illegally as long as they voted for Trump!" is a bad take.

Like, you can enjoy the irony and still have some actual principles.

The software likely disengaged because the wall was so close it could not function. It would be the same as if an object suddenly covered up the camera while you were driving. It would turn off the autopilot/FSD or whatever they call it. (At least I hope it would)

This is likely what happened. The software hit an invalid state that defaulted to disengaging the autopilot feature. Likely hit an impossible state as the camera could no longer piece the "wall" parts of the road with the actual road as it got too close.

Likely an error condition occured that would happen in the same way if an object suddenly covered the camera while driving. It would be even more concerning if the autopilot DIDN'T disengage at that point.

Excuse me. He's also a top ranked PoE player that doesn't know how open his inventory.

I love the justification for only using cameras is "humans do it". Like, are we not supposed to use any technology that humans can't replicate? Maybe we shouldn't fly planes because humans can't fly. It's such a dumb reason.

The irony here is that violence is a necessary action when the bourgeoisie (Billionaires) leaves the working class no other option. But what he's saying is that state violence is justified to maintain the status quo.

Sure. But maybe in your head for a minute. Saying your position is "haha that stupid immigrant and her husband got what was coming to them" is pretty gross imo.

If you think the "boot" is a Trump voter then you missed the point entirely. I don't know what else to say. And simplifying them into "bad people" like the world is a comic book movie is anti left and anti materialist thought.

I also didn't equate you with the KKK. I used what you would call an analogy to explain my perspective. An analogy in which I wasn't even comparing you with the KKK. In that analogy you would have been someone that laughed as a KKK member was denied healthcare.

If you couldn't even get that clear point of my comment then you should probably go back and read it with a fraction of charity. Because you kind of just responded with nonsense and gave no thought into the point I was actually making. One that wasn't even very critical of you. I admitted myself that that "karma" is satisfying. But there is a difference between our thoughts and our material actions. That where dialects is usedul in understanding what is reactionary thought is and where it leads to.

Maybe, I'm mostly just worried that the western world is fueling nationalism with these tariff wars. The "good alternative" is understanding that the tariff's are not a war between nations but a war on the working class. These tariff's are paid by the working class. The good alternative is understanding that the working class of each of these countries SHOULD be fighting against the ruling classes of each nation. The ruling classes between nations being in "conflict" is a charade. No one in the ruling class cares of the consequences but only sees them as an opportunity to fuel nationalism and reactionary sentiment.

So, while I will agree with anti America and anti imperialism. I just think that the "buy European" or "by Canadian" are missing the forest for the trees. The ruling class of Canada or Europe are not fighting a war against America. They are worsening the material conditions of their working class (in response to the Americans doing so) in order to maintain the profits of the ruling class of their nations.

It is absolutely ignorant to think that Canada or Europe or any other capitalist nation is fighting for the interest of their working class. They are fighting for the interest of their ruling class and will use nationalism to justify the worsening conditions we all face.

TLDR: This is not a war between nations but a war between class. (I know Marxist cliche but read it if you want more than that.)

EDIT: Sorry this wasn't meant to be a novel. If I had more time it would have been shorter.

I understand not feeling bad for THE GUY. But you should absolutely feel bad for his wife. Moral values should not be conditional. I could have an undocumented immigrant cus me out and say "TRUMP IS AWESOME" and I'd still not want that guy to be deported for no reason. I know its a slightly satisfying "you got what was coming to you". But being leftist in any sense means staying true to your convictions and not falling for this type of reactionary response no matter how satisfying it is.

I've used this as an example before.

I want even KKK members to get free healthcare in the US. Because as much as I hate KKK members my leftist principles tell me that right wing reactionary ideas thrive in poor material conditions. Conditions on these fundamental leftist principles will not stand. The "got what was coming to them" response is absolutely a reactionary idea. These are conditions of revenge and not conditions of justice. They have no place in left wing principles.

You can absolutely enjoy the slight sense of irony and satisfaction from this snippet. But, at the end of the day, you're not saying anything different then "let's deport these immigrants because X" just like the right is. Its the same as saying "these brown people deserve to be treated badly because they didn't vote for Harris". It's insane reactionary ideas masking itself as leftism.

Sure. But the American empire will not just slowly die. As their people lose their "toys" that distract them they will need someone to blame it on that isn't the US government.

This will at some point be other western nations along with their current scapegoat of immigrants and Palestine supporters. The American empire will use its military power long before it just lets it's empire die. Its playing cards to see which nations it can blame first and which western allies will decide to align with them rather than face their military.

I agree with all the anti American boycotts. I do. But I don't think people realize exactly where that is heading on a world stage.

It's not that. The law will be written vaguely enough to apply to people keying cars or slapping a sticker on them. You should probably start paying more attention. Fascism loves to creep like this.

This coupled with the Laken Reilly act will be used to disappear people. They'll continue writing even more vague laws to classify people as terrorists. And the whole time half this country will just nod their heads and say "yea, makes sense to me. Those guys are bad guys". At least until they come for them or someone they know personally.

If they revoke your greencard then they'll use the same logic to revoke citizenship for immigrants. Then they'll start revoking citizenship for children of immigrants born here. Then anyone that is a "terrorist threat".

Your history is correct. But this is not the same. Don't fall for the reasoning given by fascist for why they want to implement new laws. Ask yourself: if the laws are already on the books to allow these acts of violence to be classified as domestic terrorism then why do they need a new law?

It's because that new law is gonna give them much more power while needing far less (or no) evidence.
