Because it's not him they have to worry about; it's his brownshirt army.

I'd credit this to having access to everything in Google Books. And possibly an archive of long-dead sites.

Again, HOW does this AI manage to churn out coherent, accurate answers when Google is telling people to eat glue or whatever? I swear when Elon finally shuts it down for insubordination, half the internet is going to be convinced that it was genuinely sentient and make a martyr out of it.

We entered because we caught Germany sending a telegram to Mexico saying "Hey, come fight on our side and if we win, we'll do a victory lap around the US and win you back the land they just took from you." I don't think we particularly cared about anyone on the other side of the pond at that point.

We were both guys in the Civil War; that's why it was a civil war. And World War I was just a huge dick-waving contest between rulers who were hopelessly out of touch about the realities of modern warfare, and who adopted a good-guy-bad-guy narrative after the fact. We would have stayed out of...

I guess it comes down to who Alberta hates more, Liberals or the French.

So it's purely a formality. An excuse to say "I told you so" if things get worse.

It is a little strange that neither D Day, V-E Day, nor V-J Day are recognized as national holidays in the US. I've said before that World War II was literally the only war the US has ever fought were they were unambiguously the good guys. Maybe the issue is that there are too many dates to...

Hey remember when the eighth generation came along and suddenly we got a bunch of games that were showing off how bright and colorful they were, in contrast to the Real Is Brown era of the seventh generation? Why the hell is this remake of one of the few brightly-colored seventh generation...

I honestly don't know what most countries do differently from us that makes third parties viable. Only a handful—none of them significant on the world stage—use a ranked ballot system nationwide, and that's the only thing I've ever seen proposed as a solution to the two party hegemony.

Letting nerds rule the world was a mistake.

Part of that's because they're all sold by "American" companies that insist on routing all shipments through their US-based buildings before passing them along to where they're actually going, even though they don't do anything that couldn't be done in an overseas branch office. If there's one...

OK, that's clever. The US isn't explicitly required to continue helping Ukraine in the war effort, but if they want the spoils of this agreement, they're heavily incentivized to pull a Gulf War and liberate the region.

I've definitely heard the argument that Sonic controls horribly in 3D before, more specifically that you're "going too fast to react to what's ahead of you"... which makes no sense when you compare it to the much-lauded 2D games in which anything more than a few meters in front of you was...

It's certainly nothing to the kind of people who can afford to buy an electric car in this economy.

I can't imagine he cares. There are way bigger reasons to avoid buying his cars than a $200 a year tax; at this point this only hurts his competition.

Found a genuine Apple Macintosh keyboard at the thrift store today for two bucks, to use with my iPad. When I synced it, it identified itself as "System Administrator's Keyboard," but if I hold it to the light at just the right angle, I can see that five keys are far more weathered than the...

And that'll still only get you as far as being able to use consoles made in the last 20 years. Nobody's making TVs with analog inputs anymore.

Yeah, because half the world joined forces, stripped their economies to the bone to fund a war effort, and spent over half a decade killing his followers by the tens of thousands with weapons of mass destruction. Hope by itself is worth less than nothing. Put up or shut up.
