Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

Kazumara,

Don’t know about for life, but a pretty long tenure like Angela Merkle, yeah I could see that

Kazumara,

Satanists basically believe in the same god as christians do right?

That really depends on the specific Satanists you’re talking about. A few sects aren’t even theistic at all. I mix them up sometimes, but I think TST was one of the humanist non-supernationalistic ones.

Kazumara,

by fraudulently gaining access to pending transactions

That makes no sense to me. The mempool is public, everyone can see pending transactions.

Kazumara,

It’s a private MEV mempool

Are you sure there is such a thing? My understanding was that they just submit their sandwich transactions to the mempool with higher and lower gas respectively to achieve their desired priority ranking. Could be wrong though.

Kazumara,

Wow, thanks for the link. It seems things have gotten a lot more complicated with PoS. I didn’t even know about PBS. I haven’t been following along properly.

Kazumara,

Thats a cross between a nano age Cyber Laboratory and Temple from Empire Earth (2001)

Kazumara,

Yes, and therefore the original comment was wrong and needed to be corrected.

Kazumara,

If you don’t specify then the statement needs to hold for all averages to be correct.

Kazumara,

More like

“Balls are orange” “That’s wrong” “Ah but basketballs are balls and they are orange, gotcha” “No, you just said balls, that’s too generic, if you meant basket balls you should have said basket balls.”

Kazumara,

Doesn’t matter for the issue at hand, that’s just a question of language relating to the example. A different example:

“A set always has a maximal element under the larger-than relation for numbers”
“That’s wrong”
“Ah but any set of natural numbers has a maximal element, that is also a set, gotcha”
“No, you just said set, that’s too generic, if you meant any set of natural numbers you should have said that.”

Kazumara,

Who cares? Everyone understands the example anyway.

Kazumara,

The average is a generic concept covering multiple more specific concepts like mean and median. If you say something about the generic concept it should not depend on any properties of just one of the specific concepts, in order to hold generally.

Your brother is a term for a single person that is simply under-determined and could turn out to apply to either one, but not both. What you say about your brother should apply to the brother you mean, in order to hold.

Kazumara,

Wow I thought she was perhaps subtle about her hatred, and that’s why she isn’t universally rejected yet, but apparently that’s not the case:

Calling a man a man is not ‘bullying’ or ‘punching down.’ Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 12, 2024

Kazumara,

I wonder what her Imam would say to that. I haven’t heard of a Muslim sect that accepts transgender people under their chosen gender. But maybe they are out there, if anyone knows of one I’d like to know more.

Kazumara,

Very interesting, thank you

Kazumara,

Oh I see, I did not expect that. Thank you!

Kazumara,

I’m not sure in which direction your sarcasm is actually going there.

I wouldn’t say they are a monolith, with all those different sects and the fatwas where you basically have to choose which person or group of muftis you trust to issue binding ones.

On the point of brainwashing… well depends on how you define it, I’d say. I think all Religion at its core is supposed to influence your thinking profoundly and most religious people are brought up into their belief system. What is just socialisation and what is brainwashing I don’t know how to distinguish.

Kazumara,

I’m pretty sure internet means internetwork, as in between networks.

Yes you’re right. I’m one of the operators of network AS559 and we have loads of interconnections to other networks, a supermajority of those is within our small nation. The international ones do make for a lot of traffic though :-)

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch (animehunch.com)

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

Kazumara,

What the fuck are you even on about. You just invented that argument and attributed it to otp, just to argue against it and be mad.

Kazumara,

You propose an interesting approach. I just wonder how the individual streaks of different rust interact with typical graphics pipelines. You can certainly ship a generator, but then for rasterizing the image the texture still has to be generated and shipped off to GPU memory to be used in shaders, won’t you blow through VRAM limits or shader cache limits by having no texture reuse anywhere?

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...

Kazumara,

I agree with this so much. Your understanding just makes sense to me. And it’s even worse because we don’t do that in German, so I’m used to the sensible way! That just makes it feel extra weird.

Kazumara,

I know there’s parts of the US where this sentence construction is common but those entire regions can honestly fuck off.

Also bits of Nothern England. My Geordie friend uses that all the time. It feels really wrong.

Kazumara, (edited )

Sometimes it really annoys me if a perfect spot for a proper “whom” is missed. Even worse though is a misplaced “whom”. Both instances are easy for me to spot because we decline pronouns quite a lot in German.

Edit: Sorry that’s not a construction, so much as just an error. For constructions one thing that gets on my nerves is if you try to tell someone about your previous state of mind to clear up a misunderstanding like “I thought the water had boiled already” and then they say “no” to tell you that your assumption was incorrect. This is annoying because first of all the information they are conveing is already known to you by the time of this discussion and secondly in the grammatical sense they are actually disagreeing with your state of mind, not the content. I always have the urge to say: “Yes, actually, I’m telling you that’s what I thought, you can’t disagree with me about what I was thinking.”

Kazumara,

Whatever

Kazumara,

What is stopping Sony from discontinuing matchmaking down the line after forcing a psn account

That’s definitly unfair when companies stop supporting multiplayer without even allowing community servers. And I could see Sony pulling shit like that.

But don’t you think matchmaking already depends on Sony, regardless of this PSN account question?
