Back then the blurry CRT TV screens did the antialiasing and motion smoothing for free.

They’re already sending this boat all the way from the Pacific Ocean. Maybe every boat which is closer (which would be almost all of them) has the long weekend off? You can’t assume that the US military is going to be sensible or efficient about anything to do with this genocide cruise. They might point it towards Suez just so they can do a bit of sabre-rattling with China and Iran and probably everyone else too along the way.

The yuppies in the late ‘80s in their mid-late 20s would have been largely gen Xers.

Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.

How many 9/11s is that, twenty? If only there was another country to blame it on then something could be done about it.

Do they teach that line at schools in the US? I’ve seen Americans on the internet mention it very regularly, but it just seems so odd. Some (liberal) democracies are monarchies and some are republics. Why do Americans all seem to think those things are mutually exclusive?

In this city the pizza is this thick, and in this other city the pizza is this thick! It’s like being in a completely different country!

Hmm, three paragraphs of about that size is pretty typical for chatGPT.

Americans desperately want a monarchy. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Obamas or Clintons or Kennedys, the American public apparently has a deep subconscious desire to be run by one single fancy family

Yeah, talking about overthrowing the system while refusing to go outside is what Hexbear is for. How dare that be in a game, that’s, like, copyright or some shit.

All knowledge must include trend lines, otherwise it is not knowledge. Thus spake the god of epistemology.

Comparing the most recently available GDP growth data for one year across multiple major economies : cherry picking

Wondering why data from several decades ago (during the height of rapid massive industrialization that countries tend to only ever do once in their entire history) wasn’t included : not cherry picking
