Now now... political discourse, it's not like one nation can just call out a bounty on another nations leader and assasinate or kidnap them without severe political consiquences... any nation dumb enough to set that precident would have no leg to stand on when another nation tries to do it to them right?

    I mean not sure who's talking about boycotting the DNC, I'm sure some idiots are going that route... but I do have to point out the obvious problem..

    as you are right it's about backing the progressive candidates. But the key point also is to realize how hopeless the DNC is...

    IE if they lose... they say they must have gone too progressive and shift further to the right.

    If they win... they say "whew... ok we did well, now we just need to shift further to the right to solidify everything". They will always shit on the left, always try and push further right.

    Now I can agree with you, backing progressives is the way to go... though I will point out, it's about knowing the DNC is going to do whatever it can to oppose progressives getting into the democratic party.

    I'd assume because many people in these discussions are married... in which case yeah getting an STD would be the booger on top of the shit sundae. But yeah the test results only have to be checked overall at the start of the long term relationship... at least assuming you can trust your partner... while pregnancy is something you've got to be alert to in the entirety of a relationship.

    Honestly it doesn't sound like it. To get that many new users and that little revenue pretty much implies that most of their "new users" are people who come in to get the free game, and won't put a dime into using it.

    If I ran a bookstore and did a promo where I gave a book away to everyone once a month. I went from 1000 customers a month, to 2,700 customers a month. but only sold 10 more books each month. That would pretty strongly demonstrate that people don't want to buy my books, and almost all of the increased traffic is people just taking free books and leaving.

    Not the headline in this case, it's how stupid the concept is.

    In short, Felony murder is if you are commiting a crime and someone dies, you are held liable for it. In some cases it's half reasonable (Lets say if 2 guys go to rob a store, shopkeeper shoots one of the robbers, the surviving one is considered responsible for the death). But in execution it often leads to some horrificly stupid decisions like, say someone borrows a friends car, uses it in a crime in which someone dies... the damn friend can be responsible even if he had no idea of the plot or the crime that was intended, simply because he in some way provided something that was used in the crime.

    and yeah here, it's basically depending on maga's extremely stupid interpretation that Renee Good just was going out looking to cause trouble for ice and tried to run one over. Which so far seems absolutely BS, everything seems to point to she was just driving back from dropping her kids off, got flooded with contradictory orders from the keystone cops, who shot her for being nice in the fray of it.

    It's bullshit on 200 levels, but at least trying to interpret what the bullshit argument that's attempted to be made. If you grant all the bullshit claims made by this administration, and you accept this bullshit law felony murder that's rife with misuse and full of unintended horrific consequences, and you squint, you can vaguely make out something resembling an arguement for it. (again that's in a fictional world where you are dumb enough to believe what this administration says happened, over all the actual video of the events that blatently contradicts it.

    and to top it off... if we don't do it someone else will...

    Umm... isn't that the whole point of these treaties... Literally the whole concept is superpowers behave with other developed nations because... all other nations are supposed to draw the line after one nation starts making signs of attacking. It's literally what the lesson learned in the world wars was... was to band together, we did a really bad job for Russia/Ukrain, but I really hope the world actually takes some firm action if trump seriously moves forward.

    I believe a company that tried that... would be a pile of flames, rubble and pitchforks in minutes.

    You want to get some computer experts to agree on the best language, and IDE to start with, or do we need to include every one... then deciding the order.

    I mean it's kind of obvious... they are giving their LLMs simulators. access to test etc..., IE chat gpt can run code in a python environment and detect errors. but obviously it can't know what the intention is, so it's inevitably going to stop when it gets it's first "working" result.

    of course I'm sure further issues will come from incestuous code... IE AIs train on all publicly listed github code.

    Vibe coders begin working on a lot of "projects" that they upload to github. now new AI can pick up all the mistakes of it's predicesors on top of making it's new ones.
