    Agreed, even with a time machine… secret service would make it quite difficult. Obviously the morality of killing baby hitler is always a thing.

    Really though more morally though you probably could prevent most politicians from being politicians non lethally. Break into the hospital, swap him with another baby. It’s a combination of nature and nurture so… if you change the upbringing, he probably won’t wind up president.



  • The problem with carville and these “left” people… is that the party HAS BEEN distancing themselves. They have been avoiding talking about the topics unless specifically asked. The problem is the right makes it their pillar, so the media specifically asks them. Leaving candidates with the choice of “express support in peoples rights to be themselves” or “oppose their rights to be themselves”.

    The right won’t leave the option to “distance”, because they will make sure it’s brought up every debate every situation.






  • Honestly, my money says probably not. It’s quite frankly the best explanation for the solid stubornness of the trump admin. They’ve basically admitted he shouldn’t be there. He’s ignoring court orders, and now supreme court orders. The only 2 explanations I can come up with for why they don’t want him back is.

    1. The conditions of the prison are significantly worse than our imaginations have allowed us to think they are, and they don’t want him to confirm that.

    2. Same as 1, but his corpse rather than his words would be the testament to how bad they are.

    Any other scenerio to me seems like the political views here would be so overwhelmingly bad that leaving the confirmed innocent man in prison and defying court orders overwhelms any possible reason not to bring him back.



  • Yeah was going to say, there’s certainly aversion to tech that can be paralleled assuming AI has a positive future state. But yeah, WIFI, Cellphones, television, radio waves, all things people feared without propor understanding, that are now standard parts of reality.

    If hypothetically AI etc… gets close to actual sentience, artificial life may begin the culture war of attempting for personhood, fight for rights etc… in which case there will be a discussion, and assuming like all past personhood battles in the end AI is decided to have reached actual status of living… then yes those who are late to the bandwaggon and continuing to fight will be viewed just like our racists homophobes etc… But there is very little evidence that any current day AI has anything resembling feelings, wants desires etc… and just because this may be the predicessor to an AI that will. doesn’t make hating chatgpt any worse than hating a doorbell.

    Hell if somehow we were to discover say chatgpt actually has sentience right now in it’s current used form… no one could be favorable in the current view, as even the staunchest supporters of AI, are only looking at it as slave work etc… There’s not even room or a case for letting AI’s be free for life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness (which, is because with our understandings none of those are applicable to it).



  • The actual history of the meme… it started as an MS paint sketch where they were looking to a flat earth. With just the first saying “WTF it’s flat” one behind saying “sorry fam”. The more popular follow up was one where they were looking, except the only land mass on earth was a giant state of ohio, and second astronaut responded with “always has been”.

    Oh as far as the idea that they didn’t look at it in transit, no idea… though I suppose it’s more reasonable that this is the first spacewalk or whatever. Would imagine most the trip up, you’d be looking ahead rather than back at earth. Also I suppose depends on the subtletly or lack there of of what earth is “all”.


  • More importantly even then… IE there’s absolutely been cases of streamers attracting crazy stalkers etc…

    But proportionally they are extremely few. Would be insanely unlikely for the kind of person that’s obsessed with them, also being a door dash driver, happening to have come across the streamers address. (from my recolection of my very brief time helping my GF door dash, when deciding which jobs to take, you only get the restraunt and the distance, only learn where the delivery is going after.

    So hypothetically even if I knew Logan Pauls address. I’d have to camp out near restaurants near him… time my working when he might be ordering, guess which restaurant he’s ordering from… Honestly it seems like a plan that would take years to hit all the boxes to go with… probably more efficiant to camp out on streets I think he’d walk down or break in to his house the old fashioned way if I already had that level of information.




  • That’s literally the thing though, and perhaps where the USSR went wrong. There is no magic bullet that would make a small nation able to survive a large attack, asside from strong allies with a ton of bigger nations, and sadly being different, and a possible threat to the status quo, doesn’t help with that.

    That’s like saying being a serial killer helps survival over being a law abiding citizen that cares about others. Proof when I put a law abiding citizen and a serial killer in a locked room… the law abiding citizen doesn’t live as long. Of course the reality is, being a serial killer is evolved as the exception rather than the rule in humans, because, with numbers not making enemies is a more succesful strategy than always making them.
