@BasedBattletech Sex and sexuality in Battletech should be like nose art on an airplane.
Is this a pic of a pinup girl in a one-piece?

So the first thing in his head was... A story about horny teenagers?
Red flag. The rest? Incredibly cringe.

I don't think Catalyst knows what a Muslim is. I'm pretty sure most Muslims would find this portrayal horribly offensive.

I love the optimism that 1SG or ops SGM actually migrated from Windows 10 by the deadline and isn’t still sitting on Windows 8 machine that the Army forgot exists.
(And let me tell you, it was LOVELY deploying without any of our maintenance section computers because they were all being updated, so the policy of “no OS updates until you defeat the motor MSG in personal combat” was justified)

@jcochran73 @NidaKirmani Best most of us could hope for, to be honest. Before agriculture became a capitalist endeavor, about 9 out of every 10 people were forced into agriculture (at sword point). Most of us aren't so special that we could avoid it.
English
@OldCavalry @NidaKirmani And that's the best outcome she could hope for.

A more apt analogy would be comparing those who refuse AI with those who resist corporate farming methods, which have decimated our food systems, displaced poor farmers, damaged our health, & destroyed our planet.
Stijn Noorman@stijnnoorman
People who refuse to use AI are like farmers who refused to use tractors.
English
Kind of.
American English is more direct, standardized, and understandable to anyone who speaks English.
The real difference is cultural, the 'easy to approach' part from your graphic. Americans make small talk with strangers; you don't have to talk about the weather with the person next to you in line at the grocery store, but you're welcome to, and you will get those little conversations a lot in the US.
I would push back about UK english being more 'polite' though—it's more 'mannered'

I’m Japanese and studying English. I’m learning about the differences between American English and British English. Is this accurate?🇺🇸🇬🇧😵💫

Before farming became capitalist/free-market, about 80-90 people needed to work in agriculture to feed 100. Now it's 1 or 2.
You are able to exist ONLY because of capitalism. Without it you'd be chained to a plow. So would I. So would most of us.
A few people being very good at extracting the maximum value from land is the reason most of us are able to do things that suit us better.
English
Unironically, free market economics were an outgrowth of agriculture, so anticapitalists CAN'T understand where food comes from, or they would not be anticapitalist.
The black plague killed enough serfs/slaves that rulers couldn't just make more people work to grow food, so rulers began paying premiums to get the most productive farmers, and allowing them to keep their own surplus.
That kicked off centuries if rapid technological development as farmer worked to create more and more surplus.
Unless you go back to slavery and forced labor, agriculture is inherently capitalist. The farmer will find the most efficient way to produce food.
Successful family farms still use all the machinery that 'corporate' farms do.
Before farming became capitalist, about 90 people needed to work in agriculture to feed 100, so only the privileged few could be anything but farmers (serf/slaves). Now 1 person feeds 100.
So without corporate farming, people with little utility, like feminist sociologists working on gender & urban marginality in South Asia, would need to be forced into farm labor to keep everyone fed.
English
As always, I remain bemused that the average humie has absolutely no idea where the food they eat comes from.
Or they actively want to massively reduce your planet's population.
Or both.

@GovPressOffice No one has shown up expecting to show kids. They're showing that there are no kids.

Star Trek was also meant to be not QUITE the way 20th century navies would do it. The ship's computer was meant to be the CIC mostly.
Galactica takes it the other direction, where nothing on the bridge can be automated at all. They can't have a CIC that sends data up to the bridge, so it's all there and they shout across the room.
English
Part of the problem here is that both shows collapsed the concept of "the bridge" and the "combat information center" (CIC) to a single entity.
There's a reason why most warships your planet today... don't.
Bitan Chakraborty@crispeconomiX
I think the bridge of a spaceship would be more chaotic than what is shown in Star Trek. Star Trek Enterprise shows pristine, well-lit, ergonomic bridge cum CIC where everything is touch screen, manned by a total of 7-8 people. OTOH Battlestar Galactica shows a bridge to be expansive, dark, chaotic, manned by 30-40 people. Though former is a vessel of exploration and diplomacy with huge firepower to boot, and latter is a battleship through and through, I think bridges and CIC of capital ships would more of what we see in BSG and not ST.

@ingelramdecoucy @CletusSocrates 90% don't use "decimate" correctly.

@CletusSocrates Nobody uses “decimate” correctly anymore, it’s a tragedy

@MugiChan_TA Guns and anime women are not unwelcome in the Battletech community. Just be aware that catgirls only belong in the Magistracy of Canopus.

I did not expect this post to end up going around the Battletech community. What the heck lol thank you for all of the encouragement and advice!! Everyone has been so sweet 😭 also if you followed me uhh I usually post guns and anime women haha

@TheBuddyCSM I got 0% for 2 amputated toes. But 0% is not the same as none. 0% disability entitles you to VA medical.

I’m currently planning on receiving a 0% disability rating. I’m sure I’ll be over that, but I’m setting my expectations low.

@Evil13rt @skscartoon This. Just not with the giant gun; it uses too much more weight compared to a 20mm with almost no extra capability. A low, slow, rugged plane with a huge payload and efficient turbofan engines is still useful.
English
@skscartoon I think they need to knuckle down and just make a new A10. Just a reliable ruggedized attack platform with more payload and range than a helicopter.
Eventually we will need an automated answer to drones. There’s just going to be too many of the things.

I like it, but I would not use it for research. Maybe to get an idea what sources to check, but every AI makes things up and every AI gets trained into telling you what it thinks you want to hear.
Where they are best is double-checking that what you wrote makes sense, that you didn't leave anything out, etc.
English
@OldCavalry Claude was the name of the one being advertised to me.

Listened to an advert for an AI to help with research and the Scholar in my was utterly repulsed by the concept. Perhaps it is is somewhat hypocritical of me to say so in this age of search engines, but something that reads for you without comprehension just disgusts me.
