There is absolutely merit to joining the army to acquire skills/knowledge/discipline, but they should be the ones to sell it as such. US just has commercials with cool tech and jerking off about being a warrior right now. I think they’d probably do a lot better if they focused on what can be learned or gained.

Preposterous!!

I know how pedants work. You’re not really making a point, just being obtuse for the sake of it.

Well almost gay. Dang lich storm stopped it

‘constantly’ then

You just said it wasn’t 75%.

And quibbling over what constitutes ‘most of’ something’s life is semantics. I reckon plenty of folks would view anything over 50% would likely constitute ‘most of’.

Senor Semantics does it again!

How you gonna quibble over semantics then tell them off for semantic interrogation?

Something being pregnant for 75% of its life is pretty constant.

There is a substantial difference between public image and actual personality. Society at large was unaware of his proclivities because he had an ace PR team stymie his worst impulses. It’s much harder to stay mask off when you’re actually interacting and living with someone, and Musk isn’t very good at subtley.

Plus like the other user said, they started dating the year he did that weird pedo accusation at that Thai rescue squad. That was definitely the beginning of a LOT of people realizing he was off.

I don’t see why UBI has to remove the rest of social services. Feels like that would fit in the “More social welfare” bin.

I don’t need Bernie to fully understand AI before he continues advocating for the people. He also has enough of a track record to trust that he does not blindly believe the AI rhetoric, which is primarily pushed by the same Corpo types he usually rails against. I’d wager he’s also for adding guard rails and protections.

Its good to keep pushing for good things, despite whatever noise is going on. Perfect being the enemy of good has sidetracked many an effort. Like conservatives have had no problem taking their little victories over the years chipping away at rights before going full out fascist. We need little victories do push back too.

Buttcrack album cover guy. Classic!

I did my first playthrough with a buddy this past Spring and I don’t recall the water being particularly lethal nor the boats too explodey. It was definitely hellish getting a camp set up but we eventually got in the swing of things. So I think they fixed what you’re talking about, unless I somehow just missed it entirely.

Just some extra red sauce, all good

Vance is whatever he’s told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.

1. You can know things aren’t totally private and should still be able to make dumb jokes without the FBI getting involved.

2. Does a dumb joke about a bad experience really merit a ‘reality check’?

3. Social Media company reporting suspicious stuff is a good thing. What isn’t good is the zero due diligence. Just right to the FBI.

4. It is the fault of the social media for auto-flagging things then automatically forwarding to the FBI. I’d like more due diligence from the FBI too, but we don’t know how urgent they thought it was. Again, no due diligence and they auto-forwarded something to the FBI that must have made it seem like an imminent threat.

None of these are good things. Privacy should still be private. If we’re going to tacitly accept that nothing is private on the Internet for ‘safety’, then it should absolutely be called out when that privacy is violated for little to no reason. And again, some due diligence from someone. All of these things being done without anyone looking into it until the FBI is on someone’s door step is not good. Let’s also note that law enforcement jumping hard on bad information has led to plenty of wrongful deaths and injuries.
