Denmark is evidently sick and tired of the submarines going through their waters to get into the Atlantic

Funny thing is this is actually a very good idea

One of the best things you can do on realizing you’re lost is find a spot that’s safe to sit still in and wait for someone to come looking.

Practicing a perfect circle sounds like a marvelous way to waste time until the rangers get to you from your last known location!

Keep in mind that the average being twice as high indicates a much higher number of severe age gap marriages than there are now.

This is another “average age of 30” stat where the average somewhat lies about the situation.

Looking at the current conduct of the russian military, you’re not exactly giving me higher hopes for our ability to let anyone have those

My take is that the afterlife comes in three phases, yes phases because as much as it gives the fundies a hard-on there’s literally nothing humanly possible to do that could justify a permanent state of the worst torment imagineable.

Phase 1, atonement, you do the hard work for the souls you’ve harmed in your life to forgive you and release the chains that bind your soul.

Phase 2, forgiveness, you do the harder work of forgiving what wrongs have been done to you. Those chains hold you to your material existence, and you have to let go of them to be ready to move on.

Phase 3, reunion, the veil behind which no eyes may see. All you’ll know is that by now anyone you haven’t met yet from your life has done the soul rending work you have and walked beyond it. They’re on the other side, and they’re waiting for you to join them, what that’ll look like, probably some 4-D amalgamation of every heaven or paradise or state of eternal bliss ever foretold by human words, and yet also none of those things, because not only do we not understand it, doing the hard work of being forgiven and doing all the forgiving is what it takes for you to be ready to understand it. I think it is what specifically god spoke of when they said they are both and yet neither of human binaries, and incomprehensible in their true essence to the human mind.

I guess pursuing the question much further is necessarily going to take us to the big one, “what happens after we die?”

And there’s only so many times I can deliver the punch line “lots of things that just don’t involve us anymore.” before I start to feel like a “that guy” about it.

I refuse to believe that there isn’t a secret containment plan that all nuclear powers are coerced into agreeing to that basically gives every other nuclear power the right to intervene and secure the nukes from paramilitaries and terrorists in the event of state collapse.

The only reason I would presume NK isn’t in on it is because everyone’s agreed by now that if they fall it’s gonna be a race between China and South Korea for who can press a legitimate claim first.

Don’t worry, if Kyiv’s getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you’d have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D

More seriously, someone’s really gotta figure out how to attack the nuclear arms specifically. Putin is making it obvious that the world will never be safe if there’s even the remotest chance some lunatic could gain the ability to fire those things.

It would have to be the fastest military operation ever conducted in human history, but if it worked, it would save the world.

They sure seem to like him a lot better than voting in solidarity with the people who’s lives he threatens!

Or maybe I should refine to White “Leftists” since everyone else need not be told why that’s so removeding stupid.

Surprised Gab isn’t the record holder, it was the big deal example the fediverse advocates held up as how awesome the fediverse is at moderating itself, especially the “defed if federated with” rule instances started using to actually quarantine the users from Gab

You just infected us all by turning racism into “I just lost the game.”

It doesn’t necessarily stem from an anti-american thing, it just so happens that a lot of anti-americans just so happen to have picked up that particular linguistic quirk.

Their flair for supporting LatAm anti-american groups has caused them to pick up the LatAm chip on the shoulder that nobody else uses “America” to refer to the whole of North and South America like they do, and instead use it to specifically denote the US.

It’s intentional, that flag was made by 4channers trying to push the “MAPs are part of the LGBTQ community” line, specifically to confuse with resemblance to the trans pride flag.

Someone still has to know how to query the AI for it to spit out the code that actually does what we want it to.

The only way current AI models would gain the abilities you described in any practical sense is if they joined forces with the neuroscientists to invent a brain implant that would allow a human brain to exploit the advantages of human intelligence and artificial intelligence models while shoring up the weaknesses of both.

It’s gonna be 2020 every damn year until the last of those damned redcaps drops dead wondering why they can’t taste the horse paste.
