List a jurisdiction where you say it happened, and I’ll link you to the court records of what the Republicans actually said happened, once they were in court and would have to back up their wild and outlandish lies
Dude was in charge of the defense of Kyiv early in the war, and of the counteroffensive in the North that succeeded so well everyone forgot there was ever a northern front line inside of Ukraine. That’s one hell of a resume man.
He can’t support Harris because she is sane and a woman, and if he endorsed Trump, I think there’s a certain number of people who would respond by voting for him. By endorsing the spoiler candidate, he dilutes into harmlessness the impact of a certain number of people who if they are still listening to Rogan in this year of our lord 2024, would probably be Trump voters. I applaud this move.
There is such a thing as “too far left” in US politics. You could say that voting for anyone who will continue America’s support for genocide is unacceptable, even if the alternative is violent naked fascism. You could say that we should arm ourselves against the Oathkeepers and attack them physically if they come to our city. You could say that all police agencies are an open force for evil and should be abolished. Those are real things that people think, that right or wrong, I think someone could say are “far left” if a US presidential candidate started saying them.
School lunch and unions are not “far left”. Honestly, it might be good for the base, but I think all they’re accomplishing by saying those are “far left” is making “left” sound good to people.
Except that the guy was actually doing something wrong (he allegedly locked two women in the bathroom with him and then tried to grab them), and wasn’t handcuffed and had been fighting them, and they were holding him down in a way that causes positional asphyxia which a lot of people don’t know about instead of deliberately choking him to death while a crowd of people yelled at them to stop.
OpenAI at least is now attempting to bolt on a “memory” by having the LLM spit out short snippets of what it might need to know later, which it then has access to when completing later prompts. Like everything else post-GPT-4, it seems fine but doesn’t work really all that well at what it is intended to do.
All this “yeah who cares if someone’s literally dying, the ambulance can wait until after I’m done speaking” is a sign of how truly unhinged a lot of the people who have made their way into the higher echelons of our society are
A good example would be Ellsberg’s writings on “the stalemate machine” in Vietnam - that should be, in my opinion, required reading for anyone who’s involved on any level in our Ukraine policy. I feel like, observing the result, it probably is not.
I mean you’re not wrong. As I said I am sure I would fuck up horribly in these roles, as applied to either Israel or Ukraine. It’s at least 10 times easier to lob criticism and identify problems than it is to actually execute, and solve the problems. But if you’re suggesting that just because someone’s at a high level, they’re obviously wise to the real situation and making good comprehensive decisions, that suggests strongly to me that you probably haven’t worked either in a big company or on military / foreign policy things.
It has not yet become an overriding principle, but with every passing year, there are more who honor it. For them to make the attempt was worth a try. Sooner or later they may be able to sneak this shit past.
You have it one too low - he reached CSM but retired as an SGM because of coursework.
There is actually one rank higher, E-9, which is the singular final boss of all the NCOs, which I guess is a significant asterisk I should put to that “highest rank.” He reached the highest rank there is more than one of allowed to exist at a time.
Walz, on the other hand, served for 24 years and reached the highest possible rank of NCO, which is basically the most badass thing you can be in the regular sectors of the military (and in the aggregate the most critical for its good operation.)
I just tried Claude after having some issues with using GPT on Firefox that OpenAI’s support was unable to resolve other than some “it’s all your fault, clear your cookies” bullet points.
I only tried Claude a little bit so far, but it seems way better.
TikTok is an absolutely dogshit way of becoming informed about politics. Any accidental overlap between the simplicity and video-bite-amenability of the Gaza issue, and TikTok’s ability to communicate issues that are dirt simple and can be illustrated by short videos, is purely accidental. The main issue is that it is explicit Chinese spyware of a type that is even more explicitly malicious than the usual standard for social media apps, which is already pretty malicious.
Also the fact that it took external-to-the-Democrats opposition and huge investment of outside money to get rid of a vocally anti-Israel Democratic member of congress, instead of anything the Democrats did against her, is notable. I think you should add the phrase “Israeli MAGA” to your lexicon; it’s still not accurate but it is much closer than the propaganda terminology you are currently using.
