I can think of a lot of things the US should be punished for. When you're the global hegemon you get to do things other countries don't

Re: Asian politics

Strike Iran unprovoked So unprovoked, it could've been any country really - might have just rolled a dice :unsure: When did Iran attack Israel first directly in the last few years? What is this direct attack by Israel in response to Iran doesn't because they'd get shafted. Instead they fund and equ...

Untitled.png Other countries Chatgpt lists: UAE, Bahrain, Egypt. Chatgpt isn't necessarily trustworthy ; the point is that ME countries were obviously going to publicly rebuke Israel and it isn't necessarily meaningful.

Re: AI output indistinguishable from drake and the weeknd music

This seems to be more about gaming media than ingame content? Gaming journalism is a career path for F-tier journalists or gamers turned Z-tier journalists so the articles have always been shit anyway. Same with ingame content btw. I don't trust gamers to know the difference between AI generated cra...

Calls on Lockheed Martin. Puts on Teheran - this might be it for the Ayatollah.
Genuine question, I know almost nothing about Iran: Why would it be it for the Ayatollah? Conflict with other nations tends to increase popular support for the current regime.

Re: background music 🎧

also post your own recs, if u got some I have stopped listening to music in the background. I think it's because I end up constantly having to pause or mute it temporarily and at some point I just stopped turning it back on.

Re: Poker

Yeah a lot of those "stab" spots are overbluffed, they fit the "easy to get there with air and intuitive to bluff" description. I'd wager many players just bet any two cards to stab the river instead of being mindful about where they are in their range. I'm not gonna do this beca...

Re: Poker

As for the status of my poker exploits, I have come to a profound understanding about my problem with the game, why I will never be good at it. It's that I stop thinking when I play a lot. I lose interest, not enough to stop playing, but enough for autopilot to take over. Don't get me wrong, I like ...

I need to tape a little piece of paper to my hands that says "don't call 3x pot jams with TPTK, it's not a bluff" Who are you kidding? You'll just end up justifying it anyway. Some of my brain's favorites: - "B-b-but I block some of his value hands" - "His line doesn't make...

Re: European politics

You say the data shouldn't exist. What are you talking about there? The internet? I kind of like the internet. Service providers often have to store the data in order to bill their customers and for critical features that their customers want. If you don't store when and for how long John called Jan...

Investigations on private citizens? For what reason is that appropriate? If you have good reason to believe they broke the law (i.e. probable cause).

Re: European politics

What's the problem? Data retention rules make a lot of sense. You don't want service providers to throw away their data immediately to save a buck, when you might need it in investigations. Almost every country already has laws about data retention (and the ones that don't should), they're just tryi...

Re: The Case for EP 2.0

They'd have to enforce that you're on the same mod. But it's a long shot anyway. Given the lack of financial incentive you probably won't have any luck getting them to do anything to help your fan patch, unless you have a well-established relationship with someone on that side who has passion for th...
