If you’re curious why it’s hitting the AF extra hard, for decades an evangelical cult has been targeting our military with a focus on the AF.

The recruit in boot camps and move to AF town so their daughters can marry and convert members, then raise their kids to join or do the same.

That leads to a higher percentage who would refuse the vaccine, endangering everyone.

It gets written about every couple years, but no one does anything and now Erica Kirk is in charge of the AF academy

I mean…

It’s always been pretty obvious they wanted to “investigate” fraud so they could figure out how to get away with it.

Like cheesey heist movies where the robber pretends to work for the alarm.company to case the joint.

She thought neoliberals would accept her, that she was Biden’s VP pick because she was being groomed to be a leader.

She wasn’t, she was just there to make the Biden ticket not a blank piece of copy paper. She was never intended to get the last nomination, but by a fluke she got it handed to her.

The neoliberals will (already have really) pivot to Newsom, so she’s trying desperately to rebrand herself as progressive after actually saying:

You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,

Like, she tried to move the window right from Biden…

She sure as shit ain’t peogressive

This is from yesterday, I thought it happened again

Serrano did not void the midterm exam, but warned students that the final one, which counted for 50% of the final grade, would be held in-person. He also said that if the grade distribution was not similar to the midterm, only the final exam would be taken into account. The average score dropped to 48 out of 100. Of the 89 students who did the midterm exam, only 59 showed up for the final one. And of the 27 who did not show up, 22 had scored a perfect 100 in the midterm exam.

“The empirical evidence of fraud is overwhelming,” says the professor, who has decided to make changes for the coming academic year. First, the weekly exercises will not count towards the final grade, as these could be done with AI. Second, no more take-home exams, no matter how appropriate they would be.

Bruh…

Long before chatbots people were 100% cheating on “closed book, take him tests” there is no fucking way they weren’t.

If you had told a class 30 years ago the same thing, the same result would have happened.

Saying if you don’t match you only get the worse score, is going to discourage a shit ton of students.

The real problem is “closed book take home”. And professors expecting students to not open the book. It’s nothing about them, it’s the current culture. If you don’t cheat you can’t compete. Elite places like Ivy League schools will always be full of cheaters in this climate, because they’ll out compete people with ethics.

Pretty sure the author nailed it, but I hit a paywall before I could copy it.

Anyways:

The only plausible explanation is they licensed this feature, expected huge sales to cover the license, and now can’t.

I don’t think they have licensed it per use, it was likely a flat fee and now they’re desperate to recoup it. They can’t do it by sales, so it’s monthly fees.

It might not even be this directly, but some other license and this is just where they can squeeze consumers. They might have even just picked what gets used the most

It’s not just good, it’s both intentional and natural.

The neoliberals used the “victory fund” since 2016 to influence state parties and this state primaries to keep a boot on progressive’s necks. That’s both why and how Schumer and Jeffries got leadership elections with votes even from AOC and Bernie.

Harrison’s DNC would have cut off their state parties just to make an example of them if they didn’t vote for those two.

But right after congressional leadership vote, the DNC pivoted left and the new chair started dumping that money on state parties with zero strings.

They have plenty of money and don’t need donors…

There’s no pressure to tip scales to the right…

State party offices operating at high staffing helps progressives, because people who are politically aware prefer progressives…

These aren’t flukes, they’re not in response to any single topic/issue. And there’s no reason to anticipate it stopping.

This is just what happens when the party focuses on maxing turnout instead of maxing donations.

As much as it sucks, yeah, that was implied.

Even just for minor drug deals, Undercovers target children with learning disabilities because they’re often the most trusting.

Once they have them for a minor buy, they’ll send them straight to real dealers wearing a wire.

Like you said, status quo

Lol, like the WKUK civil war episodes where they keep showing up late after battles

This is 100% going to be one of those things where undercovers bullied someone into going along with a plan or even just being reasonably aware of a plan but not snitching.

It’s just way more likely they invented a threat than they stopped a legitimate one.

but sparsely populated Alaska doesn’t currently have the energy infrastructure to support a major build-out of data centers there.

That’s the neat part…

No area does.

When they go in residential areas, peoples faucets go dry and their energy rates skyrocket.

Because there’s not enough infrastructure for the data centers and the population. So they just take it from the population.

Welp, any further attempts to explain the finer points on anything else will probably end up the same as this did…

Best of luck

Buddy…

For a lot of this large scale shit, it’s easier to get it to somewhere in Alaska close to a port than the middle of small town America and definitely in residential areas of major metro areas.

They prefer small towns adjacent to major metros because thats where the bribes are cheapest for tax breaks and property deals.

Again, this is all corrupt capitalism making the decisions. Those decisions won’t be good for anyone except the people paying for them or getting paid to make them.

That’s why it’s “cheap” if we enforced regulations and zoning, it wouldn’t even be an option.

Like, arguing that gas is cheaper than an EV, but you only care about price at pump and not all the gas subsidizes we have to pay because of fossil fuel lobbyists.

Gas is “cheaper” but only because oligarchs are making it the cheapest option.

We can just make environmentally prudent decisions the cheapest via regulations.

That’s literally the point of environmental regulations and why Cleveland hasnt had any rivers catch fire in almost 60 years. It would be “cheaper” to handle industrial waste like that again if it wasn’t for regulations.

Yeah, but they said 1909 people didn’t have national TV news…

Not to mention the Internet only tells you someone noticed something, another way to look at that is they had more critical thinking than we do today, because they had to fill in the blanks themselves.

It’s insane how many times I’ve out time into a comment pulling form multiple different areas, and someone’s just says “source” without any context. And a single link that looks like it backs one thing up, is taken as proof for everything.

Just the concept that someone is putting things together is inconceivable to people, that expect one single article that “proves” everything.

It’s really fucking dangerous when a society blindly accepts authority like that, even without a demented fascist running the show.

Buddy…

People back in 1969 didn’t put it together either.

Uh…

He continued to plagiarize up to that point in his political career.

He lied multiple times.

When reporters fact checked them, Biden lied about being top of his class and claimed to have a crazy high IQ and called reporters dumb…

He was a proto-trump in a lot of ways.

It wasn’t the plagarizing that hurt him, it’s that the mask dropped and he showed he thought he belong to a higher class of people than everyone else.

Please stop thinking you know everything about major political events because you read a social media comment that mentioned it, or even just entire Wikipedia articles.

It’s not as simple as a summary

The children truly drive innovation

It’s worse, this is Nixon and the EPA all over again.

Or Obamacare even.

They know it’s unavoidable, and if they don’t act something effective might finally happen.

So the oligarchs will pass something that says “tax billionaires” but absolutely no one will fall under it. When a progressive runs on “tax billionaires” everyone will point to this do nothing bill and say it’s already done.

Taking the wind out of the movements sails…

I’d like to say this shit should be obvious, but it’s clearly not for most people.

Yeah, looks like Anchorage goes to Seattle, and then to Japan.

Lasher—who no AI company spent big money to elect—had just beaten Alex Bores, a state assemblyman who became the unlikely center of an extraordinary bidding war between rival AI factions. Pro-safety AI super PACs, including Public First Action backed by Anthropic, poured $19 million into supporting Bores. Leading the Future, tied to OpenAI president Greg Brockman and Andreessen Horowitz, spent $8 million trying to destroy him. Lasher won with 39% of the vote (while Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg came in a distant third place). And then Lasher pledged to pursue the same AI regulation agenda as the man he beat.

Regardless of letter by the name, absolutely no amount of money can buy as many votes as anyone would get by not taking AI money…

No one actually wants this shit except the politicians who have been bribed to make it happen no matter what.

Pushing this hard on one of the only issues that actually has widescale support is going to really backfire. Even people who see AI is inevitable, none of them want datacenters anywhere near them.

What’s fucking crazy, is no one is trying to build out in Alaska.

Cold as fuck, sparsely populated, huge tax breaks for everyone, and I gotta assume there’s major internet connections they could tap into when it crosses continents at the shortest point.

Or like Japan building underseas by thermal vents, but in America they build them in fucking neighborhoods, likely knowing it will crash all surrounding property values giving them easy expansion down the road.
