Joe Biden: Were there not an Israel the USA would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.
SantaBlack lmao
Is that why he’s impossible to see?
It’s a reference to this: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/palestine-and-israel-brief-history-maps-and-charts
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility
Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, vehicles, or environments so as to be usable by people with disabilities.
Assistive technology is the creation of a new device that assists a person in completing a task that would otherwise be impossible. Some examples include new computer software programs like screen readers, and inventions such as assistive listening devices, including hearing aids, and traffic lights with a standard color code that enables colorblind individuals to understand the correct signal.
Disabled people are likely to have had their attention piqued by Musk reiterating that, in the first instance, Neuralink would be looking to “solve important brain and spine problems.”
In fact, throughout the presentation, several chronic and life-limiting conditions were cited as being potentially treatable by Neuralink — ranging from blindness, spinal cord injuries, memory loss, brain damage and even depression.
The company’s first round of clinical trials will focus on patients with spinal cord injuries.

…Neuralink said, adding that its initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.
ETA:
I have no interest in defending the muskrat or his dystopian vision for this technology. I’m just a developer who gives half a shit about making accessible software, so I want people to know what that means.
I hadn’t really formed an opinion on this article specifically, but… If I had spinal damage? I might consider signing up for the monkey-killer chip too. A shot at getting my body back might be too enticing to resist.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
How does your ISP have anything to do with port forwarding, or wired vs. wifi?
There will never be anything more illustrative of the limits of human intellect than the fact that a master logician famously argued that:
I ought to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that rewards doing XYZ
…and did not immediately think:
I ought not to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that punishes doing XYZ
Did they seriously use the Dark Brandon avatar? A+ trolling
Gandhi on Zionism:
My sympathies are all with the Jews.
…
But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice.
…
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.
Edit: This was 1938, btw. 10 years before the Nakba.
5·1 year agoSome things to consider:
- Local elections and proposals…
- …make a huge impact to people’s lives
- …tend have quicker impacts
- …are far more heavily influenced by a single vote
- …can jump-start a leftist politician (or a policy position), getting them ready for state or national campaigns down the road
- Judges really friggin matter, and they aren’t categorized by party, so they’re a prime section for a well-informed voter to make a difference
- All elections cost money to win
- Even in deeply red or deeply blue states
- If the GOP lead shrinks from 20% to 15%, that will translate to more money the GOP has to spend next time around or else risk further slipping into single digits and making a new battleground state
- Momentum really helps keep costs low. It doesn’t seem like slipping from 20% to 15% should make the GOP panic, but it would
- Voter turnout is lower in more deeply red/blue states, meaning your vote actually counts more in closing the gap
- Getting your preferred candidate in office is not the only measure of electoral success
- Even candidates that get absolutely destroyed on election day can still shift the local or national conversation
- Candidates that perform better than pollsters expected can influence future candidates to pay more attention to the issues that brought out those extra voters
- There aren’t just voters staying home until there’s a candidate worth voting for – there are also good candidates who are staying home until there are enough voters to support them
- Milton Friedman, bastard that he was, was right about this:
Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around.
- We want leftist ideas to already be lying around at the moment they are needed. We can’t wait until after the crisis has already occurred to start organizing and showing up. It’ll be too late.
- The Patriot Act was 131 pages, signed into law 45 days after 9/11. That wasn’t a reaction to 9/11, starting from scratch. Someone had a wishlist already, and they had a PowerPoint deck ready to go on September 12th full of proposals that Congress had already seen 100 times but was never ready to vote on before.
- Local elections and proposals…

And Starship Troopers got people really excited about space fascism.
Thank you for contacting technical support.
It appears you’re having a problem with HUMOR.EXE.
You seem to have enabled LIP (Laughter Integrity Protection) Service.
You should know that LIP Service does not apply to built-in protocols such as TAB/00, and will cause compatibility issues in certain deployment environments such as EARTH.ENV.
To solve your particular issue, you’ll want to navigate to the /ASS directory, right-click on HEAD.ZIP and select “Extract”.
You know, I’m something of a failed game developer myself.
The #1 thing I learned was: Set your sights low. Lower than you think you should have to. And then lower than that. And now take that and cut it in half. Got it? Okay, now, from that, figure out what you think you could get done in 2 weeks. And now imagine that you’re 2 days in and someone told you you actually only have 1 week to finish completely. Pencils down, you can never work on this again. What would you focus on?
If the design is only fun if there are heaps and heaps of content, hyper-realistic art, epic soundtrack, and intricately-tuned parameters, you’re pretty much doomed to fail. It has to be fun even with one basic level, placeholder art, some sfxr audio clips, and wildly unbalanced stats.
