fwiw the game isn't exactly "by" dunkey, he (and all his staff at bigmode) just published it, Billy Basso is a genius and deserves credit here - just a light PSA

get it refurbished or used at least

I just tell them it's about facial recognition cameras (which is also entirely true). That shuts them up pretty quick, you can see them thinking after they hear that

so regardless of the whole attribution question, this isn't even a slightly unreasonable thing to say? It's not like he said "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic - and I think that's a good thing and I'm going to use it to kill seventeen billion kulaks", it's just a statement. It's been true about COVID, it was true about famine and drought in his own time, and it's true both intra-alignment and otherwise - smoking deaths are a statistic, Anne Frank's death was a tragedy, COVID-19 deaths were a statistic, Nex Benedict's death was a tragedy, etc. It's just observational and it's largely true, at least in regards to how people and societies react.

referring to everyone as "jack" would have been such a good skaism if Sleepy Joe didn't take it

Colorado already did that

The only downside is that it's Missouri

The mishap is the second to occur in the last week

unlimited mishaps on the first world

fwiw telecoms (or i guess its direct predecessor in many cases?) is so ubiquitous that it's virtually an appliance. It's unlikely that you even know anyone who doesn't use telecommunications at least five times a day. probably a hot take but: AI sucks, but so did the steam engine three years after it's debut. It was a gimmick that broke all the time and, even when it was working in full, could barely be finagled into doing a very small array of specific tasks. And then it got better. Check back on AI in ten years.

The reason for this bubble-looking graph is that all of the capitalization of low-hanging fruit gets completed and then the company has to start operating with slimmer margins. Cisco has almost a hundred thousand employees and 57 billion dollars of revenue, they just aren't growing quite as fast any more.

you can't just say that people not believing in your chosen conspiracy are "incapable of doing materialism", lmao.

I've cut through a lot of western lies; big Stalin fan, NATO was composed of primarily Nazis given comfy retirement plans, critical support to North Korea/Venezuela even Eritrea to some extent, China under Mao and Deng was responsible for the greatest alleviation of poverty in history, etc etc. I'm just not sold on this one after processing the not state supplied facts.

No, because that isn't what we were talking about?

we know it wasn't literally Bush slipping some hijackers a twenty under the table and asking them to hijack planes. We understand that you're proposing a complex and long-running plan that would have originated prior to the start of his term. He just would have had to be complicit, and as the head of state at the time, the turn of phrase is the easiest by saying that he did it.

This is the issue with laypeople speculating on complex engineering failures. The mechanisms of action that one might intuit from looking at a complex systems failure and the ones that actually cause it are oftentimes not related to or even opposite.

Okay 9/11 truthers, since it seems that there's a lot of you here, why would the Bush administration do it? To justify an invasion? We could have invaded anywhere we wanted any time we wanted. Thinking that we needed a lot of people to die on domestic soil in order to justify an invasion in the public eye is lib shit. So what's left? Was the government whacking someone in the towers?

This really isn't that hard to believe. The black boxes were bolted to the plane chassis and stuck around through the entirety of the fire and collapse. Personal effects like passports and clothing were subject to the intense drafts that any building fire causes and were blown around - possibly out of the plane or building, possibly away from the fire into a cooler part of the rubble. These are virtually certainly not the only paper documents they found, as another user mentioned, they found a roll of undeveloped film.

^this. The furthest extent that there is some kind of 9/11 conspiracy is that the Bush admin might have been expecting some type of domestic event or other to happen that they could use as just cause for an invasion. They did not expect - let alone orchestrate - 9/11.

Humans have pattern matching brains. It's easy to find stuff like the building owner having a dermatologist appointment that day. And then you completely fail to analyze it in the context that he probably also had a dentist's appointment the last week too. Same goes for every other thing.

Is the mentioned video publicly available? Does anyone have a link?

Can you direct link the video for folks without twitter? We can't follow the thread
