Wouldn't be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 17 hours ago

If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?

Because real dogs refuse the job.

Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.

Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).

Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

One would think it would be easy to get T.E.L.L.s nowadays and just send one after another

There's always a place for a happy little accident.

Should I drop it?

They're guard dogs

Considering that there was an assassination attempt there not that long ago, it's not surprising they increased security.

An assassination attempt was thwarted. The attempt itself never took place.

Planning to shoot the president is different than actually shooting at him.

That one seemed so fake lol

Feels like secret service needed a redemption after whatever happened the first time. So that's what they got 🤡

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They were both fake. Magic healing ear.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I ain't shy of any tinfoil but this one didn't land.

What are you basing your position that the first one was also fake?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Exactly I don't care if it was just glass what not. There would be a scab something. Your ear would not magical show zero damage after two weeks.
