Anybody who isn't familiar should look up "Operation Ajax". Long story short: Iran tried to democratically organize to evict the predatory British Petroleum company, and the British convinced the CIA it was good for business to destabilize the region for profit.
Walter White: "Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about?"
Ken Jennings tells us to mess with the triggerhappy incels at DHS.Now this...is jeopardy
Just ran a one shot at the FLGS, first time exploring the setting. I think I kinda love it
Oh, it's funny as hell, I just saw a chance to reference Hitchhiker's Guide and took it.
Perhaps it's time to consider lucrative opportunities in the field of espionage. After all, you are trained in culvert operations
Wow. Super impressed, my dude
Where are you playing it?
To be honest I was 9 and playing a pirated copy without instructions, so a lot of things could have gone wrong.Still, I'm loving the nostalgia.
I mean, he's right, but his haiku is atrocious
what's up, sugar beet?
This joke's so old that Douglas Adams was still writing Doctor Who
not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping he got shot
Holy. Shit.I spent a long time on that and never got close to the end. Respect!!!
Just to be clear, the deeper issue that we're pointing out is that guardrails are applied AFTER the model has already developed it's internal logic. In other words, we're not setting a foundation of ethics, we're trying to wrangle something inherently feral into behaving ethically. It's not a robot, it's a trained chimp, and anybody telling you it can't possibly disobey has spent too long spanking his monkey
Before you worry about damnation, you should probably consider what has happened every time one of those sects takes power; It doesn't take long before the other 39,999 sects are just as heretical as the atheist or the Jewish person.
If this was somehow related to POTUS, the Secret Service would investigate it as a threat. Why can't we treat it as a threat here? Is this not illegal?
Remember how they all decided the Statue of Liberty was "too woke" for a minute? Performative douchebaggery at it's finest.I'd be more smug if it didn't seem to be working for them
One of the Day One Executive Orders that never got any news coverage: Nobody on the administration's staff is subject to background checks, and is automatically granted maximum clearance without delay.That...bothered me.
Whether this was his idea or not doesn't make a difference here - hear me out.Every war in history, the leader stands up and says something like "We are going to Do This Thing. It's the right thing to do, or it's absolutely necessary and unavoidable, or it will bring huge benefits to our people for generations. Peace, Prosperity, Glory, Honor, we get there by fighting and winning."Is this the *first time* anybody has gone to war and the leader just... doesn't seem to even have an opinion?
"O-7? Man, I am never gonna understand military rank designations, am I?" ...oh. Oh, wait. That's clever as hell.
...and Murderbot drops her back home, because "You have to understand she's *very* annoying."
I wonder what it will be like if we're all still around in 10-20 years watching the next generation post this and everybody thinks it's about current events and not what's happening to us now
alt.westley.crusher.die.die.die was created using 1989-era internet to bully Wil Wheaton for his role on Star Trek.
Shit, didn't Bill basically say "Go on, hot momma, release 'em all"? Anybody claiming both sides are trying to silence this is projecting
Take it a step further: There's no such thing as safe once this shit starts. Your family could have come over on the mayflower, but if you step out of line they'll still find an excuse. And nobody's double-checking to see if you were actually out of line or if you just pissed the wrong person off
hey, you're out here doing the Lord's work, it's an honor just to comment on it
If you're ever in Seattle, try the smoked pastrami at Tat's. I don't know much, but I know what I like.
I mean, yeah, but I'm gonna try it the way the expert recommends once before I start f'n with it
Yeah, it's not that long ago. Shadowrun references are still cool, yeah?
