The real source these sdays is the blancolirio Youtube channel. He is prompt about covering these things and is really good about following them up with final rports three, six months, a year later. I like that best. His preliminary reports are good. I also like that he covers lesser incidents that the media ignores. Iit's a great view of an insider describing events in a way that laymen can understand. If you haven't heard of Mike Benz, he does the same thing except for politics. He is very wise and explains things in a way we can all understand. Here's his short animated video on the CIA's Operation in Syria in 2016 that they totally screwed up and failed. He's a veteran of the US State Department so he cuts through the doublespeak and tells us plainly what's going on. It's fascinating to see the machinery of the US government operating from the inside, much how Blancolirio takes us inside the cockpit and walks us through these aviation disasters.

WOW. I'm talking to an AI that was trained on white supremacist pro-colonialist dogma. What's your name ?Certainly not Google gemini, That one has guardrails that prevent this kind of harmful racism from being spread.

I mean, pro-Manifsest Destiny content? Who wrote your training data, Karl Marx? "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?"
-- Karl Marx

I don't get this "free Hong Kong" nonsense. It certainly wasn't free under the British. They ruled it with an iron fist. The Hong Kong police got plenty of experience putting down pro-democracy protests. Where do you think the Chinese got the idea to use Triad gangsters against the protesters from? Nobody in the West knows the history of the Opium War and how the UK brutally forced addictive drugs on China for profit. That's how they ended up with Hong Kong in the first place: they stole it like the USA stole California from Mexico. That's why they had to give it back, too.

Z liesky wasn't populated by people who were angry they were being censored. It was by people who were angry they couldn't censorYOU.

The staff recruiting problem was prioritizing DEI over competency in hiring. Plus, disgusting classism and credentialism. Why did you need a college degree to be an air traffic controller? Fortunately, Trump has now fixed both problems and we're going to be OK.

Ronald Reagan loved America so fiercely that he defeated our greatest enemy: communism. At least make your lies believable. That's kind of the whole point of lying.

"Here's my strategy for the Cold War: We win. They lose."
-- Ronald Reagan

"I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur."[1]
-- Barack Hussein Obama

[1] Emperor Hirohito was not present at the surrender ceremony on the Battleship Missouri.

Acifification of the oceans. They've got a new crisis. Remember Al Gore In 2005? "Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro." Kilimanjaro Twenty years later: Weather Conditions in Mount Kilimanjaro during June (week 2): The average snowfall forecast during week 2 of June for Mount Kilimanjaro is 2.0 in. There are typically 3.0 snowy days during this week. Mount Kilimanjaro normal weather and snow conditions during the second week of June at the middle elevation of the ascent of the mountain at 14843 ft based on historical averages over the last 16 years: At this time of year the normal freezing level (15490 ft is close to the middle elevation of Mount Kilimanjaro. Based on long-term averages, there are three days with snowfall per week in Mount Kilimanjaro in the middle of June but rain is just possible at this time of year: you can expect on average one rainy day every 14 years during this week of June. Forecast model average snowfall for the week is 2.0 in. Temperatures generally above freezing both day and night in Mount Kilimanjaro during week two of June with average maximum temperature 34ÂF and minimum temperature 33ÂF at the middle elevation. Expect the sun to shine on three out of seven days. Generally light winds (average 4mph). Based on long term statistics, we don't expect any powder days or any bluebird days at the middle elevation of the ascent of the mountain of Mount Kilimanjaro at this time of year. Read More

Here's a crazy idea, but maybe 12 year old girls shouldn't be having sex. Who thinks promiscuity brings women happiness? It doesn't. It's empty. Too many men permanently damages a woman's ability to pair bond. They get the thousand-cock stare and are never the same afterwards. Getting pumped and dumped dozens of times causes them to form the most horrid opinions of men ("all pigs"). It's because the men they find attractive for short-term dating are the wrong kind for monogamy and long-term happiness.

And the problem here is a "mental block" that parents don't want their 12 year old daughters having sex. Boy, those sure are bad parents.

At least they know what a woman is. Ask the people who approve of 12 year old girls having sex, hell they don't even know what a woman is.

THAT is a mental block.

BREAKING: Team Trump announces new law that will require students and their parents to affirm "Jesus is Lord."
If parents refuse, school administration will hold secret meetings with the child, create secret duplicate files and guide the child through Christian baptism without parental consent.
States have authority to remove children from custody if parents still refuse to praise Jesus.
While the above is not true, this is how gender ideology works in California.

After 9/11? What do you mean reversed? The Right have always been bootlickers. It's where we get the term from, the Natzees wore those shiny jackboots.

It is the Left who have always been the rebels, the throwers-off of authority and freers of humanity. Just look at the LA riots: neo-Confederate ideology declaring federal authority null and void inside their state because they don't like the law. They're trying to free prisoners whose only crime is not wanting to live in a shithole country and who have the human right to go anywhere on the planet they want.

For anyone wonddering why this is. this photo This photo is worth a thousand words to explain the difference between US government-funded space travel and Elon Musk's space travel. Slashdot won't let me do an href so here's the plain URL.

Mosquitos provide an essential service to mankind by keeping the rapacious humans out of vital wetlands. These are inhabited by mosquitoes with malaria, making the area uninhabitable. Remove the mosquitoes, you remove the malaria, then in a decade or so the swamp has ben drained, the remnants converted into slash-and-burn agriculture, and soon after it's a desert, which it will remain.

An ecological disaster. Mosquitoes are good guys which prevent devastation for the profit of a few humans for a short time. Let them remain for centuries to come. REmember what happens in the petri dish when all limits to an organism's growth are removed.

A "J**" eyboard? Oh, you bigots just can't stop revealing yourselves, can you? You revel in cruelty and getting your comments modded up by other bigots.

The war's over, Curtis LeMay. You did it, you used nuclear weapons against the defenseless civilian population of a beaten foe. And then planted that flag on Iwo Jima and built a statue of it so everyone will remember who's good: you whites, and ho's not: the J**s and the sl*nts. They're treacherous and untrustworthy by their race, just like Russians (yes Rus is an ethnic group, detectable in DNA, just like Jewish).

Nah, they're the worst kind of locusts. They fouled their nest, so they move to Texas to get away from the mess they created. They still vote Democrat, nothing will ever change that. So they're just going to fuck Texas up and turn it into the shithole they fled from. They've already done it. Enshitification just takes a long time, decades. San California didn't turn from a golden state that regularly produced great AmeriKKKans like Ronald Ray-gun(the fascist) overnight. It took a long, long time for it to be transformed into a literal shithole with used needles littering the streets. They already ruined Austin, which used to be a wonderful place to live. The bad drives out the good. When I lived in Austin(I'm a native Texan) it was a Texas city through and through. Now they say, "oh, it's not really part of Texas!" We never had "keep Austin weird" bumper stickers, either. You know why? We never needed 'em.

Austin was just its own thing and that was OK. It was all part of the Texas family, like an uncle who is a bit daffy but you love him all the same. Now, the Californians ruined it and it will never be the same again.

Stay the fuck out of Texas. And Florida too. We don't want you. You are not welcome. Also, we vote Trump, own guns and are the worst people in the world: racists. If you got a table with one racist and eleven people talking to her, you got a table with a dozen racists.

Even if you're a racist too we don't want your kind.

The Texas that it was parodying, the North-of-Dallas Texas of the 1990s, is gone. Not only the Californian invasion but the rest of the world's invasion makes Hank Hill a poor fit for modern tastes. 100% Hank is a Trump voter and there's' no way that's acceptable to anyone in the entertainment business. Look at how Tom Hanks ruthlessly parodied Hank Hill and his movement on the 50th anniversary SNL. Hell, domestic terrorists were firebombing cars and spray-painting hate symbols on the mere suspicion someone had voted Trump(owning a Tesla was a good hint of this). Dale Gribble's "conspiracy theories" have been proven all too true. Who knew there was a secret operation run by Israeli Mossad to fly our elites to a private island to rape little kids for the benefit of a foreign country? Glenn Greenwald, a real journalist in a world nearly empty of them, went on Tucker Carlson's show they other day and openly admitted that Israel controls our country and our intelligence services. Within 24 hours Mossad released a nonconsensual video of Greenwald having sex. Dale Gribble can't hold a candle to any of these real-life conspiracies. It's like Southpark, they can't make any more episodes because reality is too tragic to parody.

Before I learned to touch type, I had managed to get pretty fast (I would estimate maybe 20-40 wpm) using a primitive hunt and peck technique. I more or less knew where they keys were, so I could use both hands and multiple fingers to type, but I needed to switch from looking at the screen to looking at the keyboard in order to not make mistakes.

After learning to touch type (on an electric typewriter - not a word processor), I probably tripled my speed, but the biggest advantage was being able to stay in context by looking at the screen instead of switching between the keyboard and the screen, and being able to fix mistakes while I was typing instead of having to go back and fix them after looking back up at the screen.

Of course, this was all pre mouse/gui, when memorizing and using keyboard shortcuts was not just a way of speeding up your workflow, but a requirement for basic functionality unless you wanted to continuously have the reference card taped to your desk.

In today's world, with continuous autospell correction, word and sentence completion, and even automated message reply suggestions... you can argue that actually typing as a form of communication is starting to become as antiquated as handwriting. The human is now more of a middle manager to all the machine tools, trying to put their individual stamp on the work of their electronic underlings (including LLM output).

Up until now, communication between humans was still a necessary and valuable skill. What happens when it is just bots writing memos to be read and summarized by other bots? I've already run into problems with people just refusing to read things and wanting meetings instead. Meetings don't scale, but apparently reading is just too hard... In that context, does it still make sense to put your skill points into writing things when people refuse to consume that output?

The fact that you blame AmeriKKKans for being so stupid as to not be able to see the obvious correctness of what you're saying IS WHY YOU LOST. That, and the child-sacrificing mutilation cult for 12 year olds. Oh, and calling us stupid. Well, you've just done it again. Maybe calling people who are against pedophiles and surgical mutilation stupid isn't a winner. Well, you're morally right, and that's what matters in the end. Have all the "moral victories" you want. We'll take the real victories. Like finally prying open the corrupt ocean of USAID and finding out it was funding all sorts of harmful social movements in America and in other countries.

Something that has gone largely unnoticed is that the people who used to litter Slashdot screaming "racism" have disappeared. They have not gone away, but they have suddenly been marginalized. They spend their days on sites like Bluesky wondering why no one seems to care what they have to say anymore. The sites that used to pay for them to be pests are no longer interested in their material.
