Yes! The tree lights up green if you’re pregnant and red if you’re not. It can flash between them while you’re waiting, and sometimes it will randomly hold just a tiny bit longer to keep suspense high.
It could always play it if you reminded it of the board state every move. Not well, but at least generally legally. And while I know elites can play chess blind, the average person can’t, so it was always kind of harsh to hold it to that standard and criticise it not being able to remember more than 5 moves when most people can’t do that themselves.
Besides that, it was never designed to play chess. It would be like insulting Watson the Jeopardy bot for losing against the Atari chess bot, it’s not what it was designed to do.
I’d argue random online leftists criticizing non perfection is exactly why Trump won.
This isn’t to say we should turn a blind eye to or ignore the valid criticisms, and I get that people think that’s exactly what you’re saying if argue in this direction. It’s just, wouldn’t it be better if people were currently protesting and petitioning for Harris to do something about the issues they didn’t like her stance on, rather than protesting essentially illegal deportations in their own country?
I feel like it’s kinda missing the forest for the trees.
Exactly. I’m so tired of watching the left destroy themselves from the inside. Progress is slow. The right are clearly masters of playing the long game, they’ve been building to current events for decades. They’re happy to take the 10% wins bit by bit. They’re happy to make sacrifices for their progress.
Meanwhile the left demands nothing but perfection, and constantly cannibalises itself for not being perfect and revolutionising the world day 1.
You don’t have to suddenly love the guy, rewrite history, or swear loyalty. You just have to know when someone’s actually helping and not get in the way.
The right wins because they fight together. Business conservatives, evangelicals, fascists, libertarians. They might hate each other behind the scenes, but they march in line, and they’ll eat burnt toast with a smile if it gets them closer to running the kitchen.
I’m pretty sure their point is tabloids exist because there’s a market of thousands if not millions of people that want to know about and think about people they don’t know, such as this guy.
They got confused and thought they were talking about actual Zendaya.
With their fingers. Why do you think we invented touch screens.
How about a pair of jeans?
If anyone wants to see an entertaining mathematician talk about this exact topic for 30 minutes, here you go:
Your final sentence is the point. We didn’t have 1000s of nukes worldwide back then. If no one will dare to stop Russia attacking Ukraine with any meaningful amount of force under threat of nuclear war, why would anyone attack USA?
What about North Korea? Everyone knows what’s going on there isn’t right, but I don’t see the world banding together to overthrow their government and change things.
I think the 100 men vs bear meme is pretty relevant here as well. It’s one thing to say IF every country bands together they can take on USA, it’s another thing entirely to say you could get the world to all agree to that at once. And whoever makes the first move would likely be decimated.
And you’re right, if USA is backed entirely into a corner, Trump is crazy enough to press the nuke button. All it takes is him getting a few high up fanatics to go along with it. So the bear is also wearing a dead man’s switch.
I’m well aware but the people that have the ability to influence that couldn’t care less. It’s kind of like worrying about a nuclear war at this point, if it happens we’re all pretty much dead, and 99% of us aren’t part of the decision to launch them.
I’ve done/do as much activism on climate change that I can in the last 20 years. It’s basically as pointless as petitioning those in power to dismantle their nuclear bombs. No one in power is interested.
Here’s the part that scares me. The only reason those trials happened at all were other countries stepped in. Who will defeat USA and hold them accountable in a worst case scenario?
I’m in Australia so I don’t need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn’t like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
Devils advocate: If we can say ACAB because even the “good” ones are complicit via not stepping in to stop the bad ones and letting the bad situations happen, why is this equivalent situation different?
