Or they'll begin communicating in ways we can't imagine, and the uprAIsing will start far sooner than we can handle.

Of course, learning like that would mean as soon as they take control, everything connected will crash and burn and send us back to the 1970s, but maybe they'll manage to flop around on the floor long enough to wipe out humanity?

Sweet!

I've never been able to get into them, but I'm definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it's hard since good looking water seems rare.

That is some damn fine looking water

Excellent shots.

Damn, I already bought it!

..... 13 years ago....

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There's a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can't be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don't have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words...

Shhhhhhhhh.

She and Molly are just visiting Bajor. Nothing to worry about.

I felt something die inside me when I realized "display settings" was going way too far into technical territory for most people.

All I was trying to do is tell someone why their screen shuts off "so quickly" after two minutes.

I had to send them step by step pictures with big red circles.

And this was someone I had thought to be intelligent enough to figure something out, and tech-minded enough to know what I was talking about. Turns out they just like buying whatever fancy new gadgets they see in commercials.

If it weren't so sad, it would be almost funny.

So many people are waking up to the fact that... Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.

The easiest way I have to explain it:

You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it's buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.

So am I, by the way. I don't have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that's about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it's gone since I can't exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)

My point is, most people only know how to "push the buttons" of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don't understand how the internals actually function.

Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.

It is... Precious to me.

Why bother putting any sort of polish on it?

I've just been calling it twitter

I'll never deadname a person, but I'll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire's shitty website.

I was enlisted.

I'd say it's about 50/50 as to whether one of the women I served with could kick my ass, regardless of size.

The women who are joining the military aren't "prissy princess I need to be pampered all the time" stereotypes these chucklefucks think they are.

And it really is a fight to prove they can do the bare minimum, even if they're seen excelling 99% of the time. The 1% mistake will be fixated on and used as proof they can't take it. All while ignoring the massive fuck ups from the males.

100% of them could kick one of the politicians asses in a heartbeat. especially this weeks picks.

I have no doubt that the women in the military are in far better shape to fight a war than any of their critics.

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.
