AIncest!

AI is intelligent like a Hoverboard hovers.

The comparison is that the cops are using something about the person to be an excuse for violently panicking. Not literally the same thing, but the same kind of fear based on who the person is.

Armpit and foot fetishists are clearly behind this ban!

More time to save up as well!

Pointing out his past shitty behavior would give a foundation for pushing back when he fucks up now.

Say if in the debate he mumbles something that sounds like the n word. If he has a history of saying it then excuses like "he said she was a rigger, like she rigged the election" are easier for reasonable people to ignore.

We can use all of it....

What a great point to make about language in situations that are not technical! Like how theory is used differently outside of scientific contexts, which is language naturally evolving.

But this is like someone trying to use the lay definition of theory, which is the equivalent of a hypothesis in acience, in a scientific context. A scientist saying "that is just a theory" to dismiss the theory of relativity in a scientific context would be rightfully corrected by their peers.

Using legacy software wrong is like using API to describe something other than an API.

Already reported to be a thing, which is why supporters wearing ear tampons wasn't a surprise.

The best thing Project 2025 did was write down all the horrible plans they had so that people could react to it instead of dismissing opponents pointing out what the conservative talking points would actually mean in practice.

They wrote down that they were leopards who planned to eat faces!

I haven't done an image one in years for the same reason.

My general internet usage has plummeted between ads and captchas and all the other modern website bullshit, which is why I am here so much.

Or google knows you will out up with it and want the most interaction it can get from you.

The conclusion can be extended that the true purpose of reCAPTCHA v2 is a free image-labeling labor and tracking cookie farm for advertising and data profit masquerading as a security service,” the paper declares.

I thought this was known since it came out. It seemed even more obvious when the images leaned in heavily to traffic related pictures like stoplights.

It has zero power when the other party holds all three branches other than tradition.

Republicans have already shown they don't care about tradition, and they only keep the neutered version of it around to obstruct Democratic legislation. Republicans already snipped it out from the judicial nominations when they had the senate and the oval office. If they hold all three branches they will drop it the moment they want to pass an abortion ban or anything else. The Democrats keeping it around is just shooting themselves in the foot.

Remember that the filibuster exists with a simple majority in the senate and can be dropped at a moments notice. It was never needed in the first place because needing the House, Senate, and a Presidential signature is already enough room for obstruction and the idea that it keeps debate from being stifled has long proven to be false based on it being used without needing to even be spoken.

The filibuster only benefits Repubilcan obstruction. Why the Democrats won't let it go is beyond me.

I don't remember hearing about Muppet Haunted Mansion, is it good?

So basically the Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol treatment for cartoons.

Yes, that would clearly work and Disney is squandering the potential.

If we’d kept the supermajority, democrats would have EXPANDED Obamacare.

Democrats could have dropped the filibuster to be able to pass that better version with a simple majority. Then they could ride that success in future elections by pointing out that they were willing to overcome Republican obstruction.

But instead they half assed it when they had the chance and achieved partial progress that killed the momentum. Then the Republicans dropped the filibuster partially to stack the courts.

Liars keep lying, news at 11.

Also a lot of people ran in the general election that weren't members of the two major parties.

Techical terms with specific meanings don't vary significantly based on context, because consistency is important in technical usage.

The author is complaining about how guthub is being poorly modernized, which is the opposite of legacy software. If she means 'something we choose use out of tradition' that isn't what legacy software means.
