They were thinking a particular large military power would just, stay in Iran for 20+ years, hopefully whenever the pullout happens is in like 20 years, ideally with a democratic president so they can blame him when the US sponsored government gets overthrown 5 minutes after they leave.

    Or, perhaps just less "politically motivated people". With musks constant butting heads with his own AI when it keeps calling him out on his BS, and he's constantly retraining it and trying to "remove the woke virus". I think basically you give AIs access to sources, let it prioritize experts in their fields, and you wind up with the classic "reality has a strong left wing bias". factor.

    Trying to remember a bit more of it, but wasn't the usb stick a rubber ducky? I mean it could possibly trigger some alarms, but to note that I don't think it would register as a flash drive. In short you can program them and make them appear to the computer however you want. (IE it could appear as a keyboard, and rather than copying a file from storage, and rather than copying a script off of itself, it could say open cmd or powershell and effectively run the commands itself (as if they are being typed really fast, rather than actually a script). Companies typically don't log keyboards being plugged in.

    Some has some pretty bad ironic concepts though. Like the expanse in my opinion was a strong version of that. In watching it it really showed the capitalism hell, with the belt clearly representing some level of the working class/the global south.

    To me the great irony of it though was after it got canceled, Jeff Bezos personally took towards buying the show and using amazon prime to keep it going.

    I mean... it's actually kind of disturbing how many there are, The green Berets, Top Gun, Transformers, Black hawk down, some grey area ones like saving private ryan and similar.

    Of course, you'd get the other side of the coin with say movies like rambo, apacalypse now Born on the fourth of july etc...

    I mean that's largely true, but it's not like PC hardware isn't currently relevant to the current system as well. About 2-3 years ago I went all out and built my son a 3 grand gaming PC (divorced dad energy), about a month ago I looked up the parts. The exact same build that's now 2-3 years more outdated components, would run about 5 grand now.

    So yeah... while I've been largely out of consoles for a while now. gaming hardware in general is pricing everyone out right now as data centers are bidding everyone up...

    This post commenting on the disagreement was posted yesterday. Unless I'm missing something it sounds like it's talking about the arguement with MTG over the Iron Dome, which was before MTG left her house seat.

    MTG arguing her side of it back on July 2025.

    Now maybe there's a more recent issue this is commenting on that I missed. To my knowledge this is the only specific event where I could see someone arguing of Leftists taking MTGs side over AOC.
