Oh I think that’s right. Either way accomplishes a stupid goal of prioritizing the executioners emotional health over the life of the person being executed.

I thought this said the International Federation of the Pornographic Industry and got really confused lmao.

When firing squads were a thing here there would be multiple shooters firing simultaneously but only one of them had live ammo. This was to “protect” the executioners from having to know who actually killed the person.

New Weird! There are some books in this genre if you’re craving more of that style.

Oh, so that’s why my pants feel funny.

I stand corrected!

Not a full remastere, it got a “RTX” upgrade? They added ray tracing and stuff but they kept the same assets otherwise (no new models, textures, etc).

People focus on the “intelligence” part but ignore artificial, and I think that makes a big difference. The name is pretty apt honestly. It appears to be intelligent. It outwardly simulates intelligence. But it’s all man made to present that illusion - like an artificial reef.

Artificial: made, produced, or done by humans especially to seem like something natural.

Unfortunately you’re only allowed to do that if you’re arguing that your (insert X vehicle here) should definitely have been able to take on (insert Y vehicle here) because of something in said classified documents.

I’d be more surprised if they weren’t popping up.

It was way ahead of it’s time. Think about trying to be a fan of that show in the 90s. You miss one big episode and suddenly you’re completely lost on the story. Streaming/binge watching brought it a lot more fans, myself included.

I got this through sheer indecisiveness on my first playthrough.

I had a little experience with Debian-based stuff on routers and whatnot going in, but when I finally migrated my main PC to linux I went with an Arch-based distro (cachyos) because the documentation on both projects is fantastic. I was able to get everything set up the way I wanted in a couple of days, with only one reinstall along the way lol.

This is off topic, but toms hardware is one of a growing list of pages using “ad recovery” services that intentionally break their own page and then blame DNS-level filters for the problem. It’s disingenuous at best and I really don’t think a site willing to employ a such deceptive tactic should be allowed to get page views.

Seconded.

Ahh, I was enlisted so I didn’t know that the officer’s oath excludes the “following orders” bit.

It does, however, require you to swear or affirm that you will follow the orders of the President, and the UCMJ puts the onus on the accusing service member to prove that an order is unlawful. It’s a lot to ask of service members that likely only joined because they needed college money.

I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (So help me God)."

Edit: Ya’ll are right, I didn’t realize the officer oath excluded the “following orders” bit.

I ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. (Title 5 U.S. Code 3331, an individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services)
