$12k a year is plenty. You’ve just been raised above your natural standard and will have to take a while to be deprogrammed from your “lifestyle expectations”.
> I've got another one: one they'll have nuked Israel out of the world, do you think islamists are going to stop there?

Are these the same nukes that Putin was definitely going to use in Ukraine.

You boomers are fucking paranoid. Take a Rexulti or move to Canada for assisted suicide. Either way you’ll feel safer.

Damn, there goes Linux as my retro computing target.

Guess I’ll be porting dahdi to netbsd soon lol.

Tbf, I get why Linux is dropping all this stuff. I wouldn’t mind becoming a maintainer of smaller drivers myself, but I doubt I have the skill level.

Why? Would you rather be a starving peasant with less rights that you currently have?
> Trump could say we all should get more exercise and folks would say somehow exercise is bad for you.

No I’d say he’s a fat hypocrite lol.

Nothing more ironic then fat dementia patients trying to lecture you on health. Or junkies, or Turkish pill hucksters.

Im praying for you that they find the cure for autism.
Cowards like you would have a us a British colony to this day

Hey, erlang is brilliant
Silicon Valley must be destroyed to save America. Gladly more are waking up to this. There’s been a surge on both the right and left in my state of people wanting to reject the place and it’s disgusting “culture”.

Nah, no one who seriously thought this has come around to the truth.

> The AI I dreamed of my whole life is being built, engineer-type strongmen are sort of in charge

Not sure the sort of pedophilic drug addicts running Silicon Valley companies really evoke the idea of an “engineer type strongman”. But I understand that colloquially “strongman” most means “paranoid loudmouth”.

Maybe this was the case when the researchers themselves had a small level of clout/influence, but I’ve seen more product acquisition announcements recently from AI than deep technical improvements.

> Can we move on to more important and substantive topics? Something something files.

Oh no too many of the powerful establishment democrats are friendly with the esteemed bakers, politicians and business leaders in those files.

God I wish. I love retro computing. There’s just so much more variety. Sadly I know I’m not the person for those sort of roles lol.

Zuckerberg already did it.

What shocks me is how open they’ve become about it.

The people are too fat and impotent to care. Plus the average retard will convince themselves that it’s something only the other guy will do.

Meanwhile, once upon a time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)

These men didn’t let a little threats and intimidation stop them, though tbf they just returned from a war.

I’d say the likelihood of that is about as likely as the Communists dream of revolution.

There are two societies. The one you exist in, and the one that the people crafting this kind of legislation. It’s harmful to your society, but beneficial to theirs.

So can any other idiot. And we only need so many of them.

I certainly feel several degrees dumber than I did as a teenager without that stuff
Isn’t this was social workers are for?

“I am shocked not everyone has the same opinion as me”

Are you retarded?

I thought this was partly intentional to discourage DXM tripping. Same reason the only opioid they seem to give anyone now is the shitty hydrocodone/acetaminophen mix.
> Just five years ago, saying that the state of Israel is the problem would have you branded an anti-semite and driven out of polite society and rightly so. As a non-Jew, I find the reawakening of these sentiments horrifying.

Yes, but society is no longer polite. I hope the memes were worth it.

Kinda like the pedowood actors and financiers on the establishment left/right screaming at young men about how they need to die in some stupid war between two rapist dessert tribes.

It’s the same on the right. If all you have to offer is the same corrupt schmucks, people will vote for the more extreme option out of spite
It’s a bunch of arrogant geezers desperate to put one of their own on the throne. They’ll probably try to nominate Hillary again and afterwards they’ll sleep the rest of the day.

Seems to be jobs program. I ended up in defense after a year of being out of work and while all the new grads were desperate and destitute, we were steadily hiring new juniors out of school.

I’ve heard stories from years ago about some of the waste being protected because it we weren’t producing tanks in excess of what we need, some small town in Ohio would lose a ton of jobs and their congressmen his job.

Well now they can do something economically useful, like Walmart greeter.
