I’m hoping someone takes it upon themselves to have them torn down after his reign. State sanctioned or otherwise.

I hope people just don’t show up in the first place. Boycott the event. I say this as an American, the only languages these evil fucks in power understand are money, and violence – do not give them any money, do not come here, do not pay to watch the match (pirate it if you must). It is both incredibly dangerous for foreigners in the US right now, and hurting business (like the tourism industry) in America might be the only thing that actually drives the US populace and the money away from MAGA/right-wing christian nationalism as fast or faster than ICE murdering people in the streets. I can already tell you as someone that has worked in the hospitality industry, US hotel chains are probably already feeling the sting of the ICE crackdowns, and the fewer “heads in beds” there are, for longer and longer, the more pissed off all of them will get.

If I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, then my enemies will never be able to predict my next move, either.

they’re so close to figuring out that a rising tide lifts all ships and why a min wage increase/paying livable wages in general would actually be a good thing for their bottom line. So close.

I’m pretty sure I got TM 32-201-1, the master blaster’s training manual, the improvised munitions handbook, and a handful of others from archive.org.

Less reputable sources are available in all sorts of dark corners of the web, and certainly people could upload tampered versions to IA, but it is generally best to stick to resources that have… some kind of pedigree, when dealing with things that go boom when you look at them wrong.

Not that I’d ever do anything of the sort.

Sorry, no can do. All we’ve got are pills that make your dick stop working and your mind numb.

Visit national parks while you can.

yup. at the moment if you want a truly private, properly useful local AI agent you basically have to set one up correctly, manually, yourself. Having one come as part of the OS already largely set up for the user would be a massive W.

but yeah, If.

[wistful sigh]

Ahhh, and like that, the motive becomes clearer.

was this written by the cat?

blink twice if you need help

option 1: reality is written by an incredibly cruel god with a very dark sense of humor

option 2: somehow, this, the stupidest possible timeline I could imagine, came about from pure random chance.

the worst part is I don’t know which is more infuriating/terrifying.

oh god yes please give me access to military infrastructure, explosives, and firearms; I am a perfectly sane and obedient selective service applicant and can be trusted in the vicinity of all of these things
