It was reported by the WSJ, they didn’t release the image and of course Trump and his minions said it was all made up. But we can now see Trump’s shitty drawing (it’s creepier than anyone imagined) and the WSJ reporting is now confirmed.

This was reported by the WSJ a month ago.

I guess we have the image now so we can verify WSJ’s reporting that Clinton’s handwriting is impossible to make out in parts?

Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?

Sorry, but you ain’t all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.

I think it was Bronze Age, long before the Roman Empire.

It was the third English colony, and Massachusetts is a fair distance from Virginia and Newfoundland.

One tank would use enough fuel for a great many of those cars.

Logistical problems in getting fuel to areas near to Ukraine indicates there could also be problems in getting fuel to the front lines.

Even assuming the Russian military is needing to divert the relatively small amount of fuel from nearby gas stations to the front, that indicates they’re in a desperate situation.

Yeah there were a lot of people that traveled around a lot, just they couldn’t read and write.

One of the fun facts of history is that the Pilgrims from the Mayflower communicated with the indigenous people by speaking English. This was possible some of the indigenous people learned English from fishermen that were coming there before. Squanto had an interesting life, he had traveled around in Europe and then returned home to his village to find they had all died from disease.

Then there’s that grave in China which was thousands of years ago they did a DNA test on the skeleton. Dude was Celtic. Why was he there, how did he get there? No way of knowing.

People traveled around in the past, just most people didn’t write it down. Only well off people are literate then it seems like no one went anywhere in the past. But wealthy people didn’t have much reason to leave their life of comfort.

What we know about history is limited to what was written down and what we dig up, but many things simply were written down and many things were lost.

It’s quantum incest… you just made it be incest by observing it.

Obi Wan never told you what happened to Linux Mint.

Yeah kinda. I ask it to do something simple like create a a typescript interface for some JSON and it just gives me what I want… most of the time.

Other times it will explain to me what JSON is, what Typescript is, what interfaces are and how they’re used, blah blah, and somewhere in there there’s the code I actually wanted. Once it helpfully commented the code… in Korean. Even when it works and comments things in English the comments can be kinda useless since it doesn’t actually know what I’m doing.

It’s trying to give you what you want but can sometimes get confused about what you’re asking for and give a bunch of stuff you didn’t actually want. So yeah, the comic is accurate… on occasion. But many times LLMs will give good results, and it’s getting better, so it’ll mostly work ok for simple requests. But yeah, sometimes it’ll give you a lot more stuff than what you wanted.

Some days it will be but other days it won’t be. Most of the time it can save me typing because it’ll do what I want. Sometimes (for similar tasks in the same context) it’s just be completely off. Once it helpfully commented my code… in Korean.

LLMs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.

For Israel every male in Gaza is a Hamas fighter which is so inherently wrong.

That is not true. You’re being shown video of a guy that’s dressed like a civilian being killed by a drone and told that’s not Hamas because they look like a civilian. But Hamas doesn’t wear uniforms. They all dress like civilians. So is that guy a civilian or Hamas? Depends on who you believe.

And that’s the horrible nature of Hamas. You may think that a military having their soldiers wear uniforms and clearly mark their vehicles as military is stupid because it makes them obvious targets. But we do this so in a war it’s easy to distinguish between military and civilians. This results in there being less civilian casualties. You may think that Hamas is being “smart” by dressing like civilians and hiding among the civilian population, but really it just results in higher civilian casualties. We respect soldiers for putting on a uniform because that’s them taking on additional risk to make civilians safer. Hamas doesn’t do this because why would they? More civilian casualties brings more sympathy for them, and more money being sent to them.

And international law agrees with this. The reason why captured Hamas are treated as criminals and not prisoners of war is because that’s what international law considers them to be. If they wore uniforms they would be POWs, but since they don’t they are criminals. Of course if they wore uniforms the war would be over fairly quickly and there would be much fewer casualties. But this is why international law is the way it is. To avoid long drawn out wars with combatants that don’t wear uniforms resulting in a high number of cvilian casualties.

Hamas is a criminal organization, and has been declared a terrorist group by most sensible countries for good reason.

And if we have a bit more critical thinking, even if he was a legitimate fighter, why didn’t they kill him when he was alone.

That’s not how wars work. It is expected for a military to keep their own civilians safe by building their bases apart from civilians (not under hospitals and schools) and wearing uniforms. The onus isn’t on your enemy to keep your civilian population safe, the onus is on your military to keep you safe. Hamas is doing the exact opposite of keeping Palestinian civilians safe, they’re using the tactic of purposefully putting their civilian population at risk and for some reason you think it’s fine for them to do this. It is not illegal in war to hit a target because your enemy insists on using civilians to protect themselves. Hamas is using cowardly tactics, and telling you this is a good thing to do and you’re believing them.

Sorry I don’t have a an exact source. From what I recall they were talking about this on the Bulwark a month ago I think? It’s such a weird thing (is bond the right word for it?) that there’s even a term for it. So it’s not an easy thing to search for. What do you even call it when you can buy a piece of a tax refund that you expect to happen when the court rules the government levied an illegal tax?

The whole thing is just a cost cutting measure. There’s a reason why all fast food places look the same now… it’s the cheapest way to build a restaurant.

But sure… let’s pretend there must be a politcal reason for all restaurants having the same boring design so we can pretend anything we don’t like is “woke”.

It’s not just domestic companies being greedy (though they definitely are) they kinda have to raise prices to avoid shortages. Basic supply and demand pressures.

In the long term they could expand their production and lower the prices, which is theoretically the point of the tariffs. But no one is going to make that long term investment because of the likelihood that the tariffs will be ruled illegal by the courts and general TACO stuff.

Even more frustrating…some companies are putting out bonds that they will pay out when they recover the money they paid to the government for these tariffs. There are members of Trump’s administration that have bought these bonds.

So you’re paying higher prices for everything and Trump’s guys (and likely Trump himself too) are going to profit from it.

Actual journalists won’t say someone is a murderer even if there’s a video of the person shooting a guy pulling out their ID and showing it to the camera and say “my name is ___ and I murdered this person”.

When the person is charged then they will be termed “alleged murderer”. Before there’s charges they’re termed something like “shooter” not murderer. Only once someone is convicted of the crime will they be called “murderer”.

Genocide is a much greater crime than murder. It’s not responsible journalism to make accusations like this. If a body like the ICJ convicted Israel’s leadership on charges, or maybe id the country the media organization is based in made a declaration, then a journalist will start using the word genocide.

“Alternative media” have no journalistic standards and will say such things to lead their audiences to conclusions. If you’re reading articles that are telling you how to think about a story, it’s not actually journalism. Real journalism is about telling people what’s happening, not telling people how they’re supposed to think about, and definitely not about making accusations in an effort support activist causes.

Millions of people have been killed because of grievances from history books. It would be better to learn from history instead of using it as a source of grievance.

Humans sure are contentious people.

I’m not Israeli nor Jewish, but I constantly get labelled a “zionist” anyway because I don’t fall in line with the crazy bullshit conspiracies promoted on this site. You’ve come up with ways of labeling people so you can make them “the other” and acceptable to hate. That’s the tactic of a hate group.

The tactic of making it acceptable to hate a subset of Jews (while changing the terminology) has been used in past, particularly by leftists. Read up on anti-cosmopolitan campaigns in the Soviet Union. They also use the term anti-zionism back then too, because the Soviets didn’t want to sound like the Nazis.

But whatever terminology gets used, when you have hateful intent in your movement, you’re in a hate movement. You go around saying the Jews/Globalists/Israel/Zionists/Cosmopolitans are controlling world governments and the media, it’s all the same thing.
