Our first TV remote was on a cable! This would have been in the early 80s I think.

Yeah I dunno. Fascism is kinda a cultural problem, it won't go away just cos the leaders go away. The leaders are the ones with the money, they can find a front. Someone obedient and Hollywood famous would be ideal for them. Trump has shown them that it's doable. It's not just a problem in America, the right is everywhere. I feel like the right is less vulnerable to sectarianism than the left and not just cos they're dumber

I'm gonna try to work though your comment in the order you wrote it. I agree with the first bit. About China and Russia taking the piss.. Though I'm not sure about China, they might play the long game. I think Taiwan would be tricky in lots of ways. I think China won't move on Taiwan until the rest of the world is looking elsewhere. I don't think Russia will try to nuke Europe or Ukraine in the next few years. But I could be wrong, Russia isn't something I'd want to bet on either way. They're certainly snidey and aggressive. Yeah, Israel and Iran is a fuckin dangerous hotspot. Don't like that at all. North Korea, I dunno I would have said a year ago that they all gob and no knob, but I don't like how they getting snuggly with Russia. NK soldiers are going to Ukraine if they not already there. Hopefully India and Pakistan can chill the fuck out about Kashmir. But I don't know how close to boiling point they are. Yeah, I'm not American but the impression I get from social media and mates there is that you're about right, a whole proportion of the population is kinda fucky. And another trump presidency could be extremely harmful. And trump is a symptom of a problem with America, he could croak tomorrow and the danger would remain - because of that third of the USA population you referred to.

Plus there's non-state actors to worry about.

Yeah we already know he thinks nukes are not for deterrence, they're for using. The fucker suggested using one on bad weather. It's a real concern. Thing is, it's trump we gotta worry about right now, but if he doesn't get elected the right wing will find themselves another trump and that one will probably be smarter. Would be hard to be dumber. Scary shit.

Yeah fair point. Boeing has a degraded reputation these days but at the mo we don't know why it broke up. Probably never will. I'm kinda going on Occam's razor here.

Great, more bits of dangerous junk in orbit. The fuckers should have to clear up their mess before it fucks up other satellites.

Oh yeah, I forgot he believes people have a lifetime charge that will be depleted by exercise.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was exhausted, this campaign is probably the most work he's done in his life. He's old, he's clearly in decline, and although he's fueled by greed and spite he may be becoming concerned that he's not winning as clearly as he'd like.

Just looked it up. Yeah Tim Walz speaks really effectively.

Why? There's not a world war. Unless he's planning for one.

Personally I love a tuna and sweetcorn pizza. I know it's not a popular choice, that's fine, more for me!

Here in the UK there have been a few cases of people of people who scampered off to join Isis etc who have had their citizenship removed and are unable to return to the country. I'm not a law-knower but I think this is pretty legally iffy, it certainly happens though.

Yeah, I was an early adoptor, had a phone with a flip down bit and an aerial to pull up. I thought it was cool as fuck but in retrospect it was probably big enough to fight off a bear with.

Yeah, same with me. But I knew the ball was pushed and rolled to the edge of the table and then fell, so I feel like I got the most relevant bit.

Tbh I've never been good at visualising faces, recognising people I know, retracing a route I've taken etc. This just feels like one of those things I've never really been great at.

They were already shitheads.

Looks like Cornish pasties. Yummy.

I've been enjoying oxtail recently in Caribbean food, hadn't really tried it before. This looks great too.

Yeah same. I got a steam deck maybe six months ago, my backlog is so big I've only recently finished bioshock. Seems like a nifty little device and it seems to handle contemporary stuff okay too.

Interesting. . . I'd say Gemma 2B wasn't actually wrong - it just didn't answer the question you asked! I wonder if they have this problem with other letters - like maybe it's something to do with how we say w as double-you . . . But maybe not, because they seem to be underestimating rather and overestimating. But yeah, I guess the fuckers just can't count. You'd think a question using the phrase 'How many . . .' would be a giveaway that they might need to count something rather than rely on knowledge base.

Hillary Clinton being picked up and thrown in a car by one of her bodyguards when she seemed a little faint. Much of the internet concurred "The shoe come off - she dead."
