It's more than that though. Trump managed to get people to vote for him, he also managed to find equally dull witted individuals and put them in positions of authority.
If it was just Trump he would never have managed to get elected in the first place and would just be this more or less irrelevant D list TV personality.

Nothing will improve until the US moves away from the two party system. It's an inherently flawed system, because it leaves no room for nuance. You either have to vote for the red guys or the blue guys and if both the red guys and the blue guys are crap then you have to vote for the least worst option, which is often hard to identify.
There's nothing written down that actually requires people to be the representative of one party or another, it's just how things have worked out.
The US also needs to seriously get a grip on religion in politics, it can be there up to a point but there has to be a limit. In any other western country a politician stating that a war is just and required entirely on the basis of religion alone would rightfully get them sectioned.

Yusuf is actively pursuing policies that would result in his deportation if ever implemented, and he’s the owner of the party. Cause and effect don’t really have causal relationships in their minds.

Oh I’m sure the people who voted for him are going to be thrilled with that choice. I’m sure he’s definitely going to keep his seat at the next election.
What is wrong with these people, why are we beholden to the world’s biggest idiots.
I was no great fan of Tony Blair but at least there was some attempt at competence.

So the US started a war woth Iran, which resulted in Iran blocking the strat, and now as punishment the US is also going to block it.
I get that Trump couldn't think his way out of an unlocked room, but this doesn't seem like much of a strategy even by his low standards.

Do Americans say “corner shop”? Corner shops are usually UK thing because they are shops that are on the corners of residential streets, hence the name. When the houses were built it was thought that people would need access to convenient shops so they built the street with a shop on it.

I don't imagine trying to trick Iran out of their money is a particularly good long-term strategy anyway. Nothing unless you're going to turn up in a new ship every time.

Technically it still is a crime since charging money for access to navigable waters is a violation of international law.

>Other countries - it’s coming for you. You’ll have your own MAGA cult soon if you don’t already.
Not too downplay the serious threat the hard right represent all over the world but it's not likely that they will get mega into other countries. Firstly because everyone can see what an absolute disaster they have been in the US but also because Trump isn't possible without a cult of personality and that's really hard to achieve.
Le Pen tried it in France and Nigel Farage is trying it in the UK and both have run up against the limits of support. There's always going to be the racists and the stupid who will vote for them (who then turned to inviting when things don't go their way), but they don't have the personality credits to convince the fence sitters over to their side.

Can the AI just talk in a lower voice? I don’t see why this is that critical.

Online banking does this all of the time. It’s surprising how little you can actually do on their app, virtually every common banking task requires you to call them.
I had to call them to set up an automatic payment on my credit card from my savings account. Because I couldn’t work out how to do it on the app. I confirmed with the support agent that you can’t do it on the app.

That’s just nonsense justification they came up with after the fact. Ferraris have door handles, so clearly they’re not much of an issue.
Anyway the car isn’t going to exceed 80 miles an hour anyways so aerodynamics barely comes into it.

They’re all invested in each other, a threat to one is a threat to all and up until now the regime hasn’t threatened their investments.
Seriously there’s a graph somewhere showing who’s invested in what and basically it’s all just one thing now. I don’t know why they maintain the charade of being separate companies.
And the reason they don’t want their technology being used to kill people is because they don’t trust the administration to keep it to foreign countries where no one cares what happens. They’ll use it in the United States and everyone will know who’s technology is powering their drones.
All that’s happening is that financial self-interest and ethics both give the same answer in this scenario.

Nope I also don’t understand the appeal of streamers, even if they are content creators I actually like. The simultaneously huge long pauses while they’re doing something in the background, because no streamer ever seems to be able to get the setup working, and at the same time constant interaction with the comments. I get why it’s like that, but they are always them going on about subs and gifted subs, just get on with whatever it is that you’re streaming.

It’s been a standard feature for a very long time I’m kind of surprised they’ve only just started making use of it but this kind of thing.
A lot of sites that play sounds will stop when you tap out of them otherwise they’re just plain sounds in the background and that’s kind of annoying.

My understanding is that the RAM architecture is built around insanely quick read write access but doesn’t really store data for more than three or four seconds at a time. Most modern programs expect the RAM to hold on to the data for basically however long they need until they access it. So most programs just won’t fit into memory configured like that, and I think it’s a hardware thing, not something you can change with software.

Every time someone who is pro AI tries to advocate for it it always comes off as their brain having turned to porridge. You get we can see that image in our minds, we don’t need it visualised for us at the expense of half an olympic swimming pool worth of water and at least six trees.
