@_Locke_XX @monsterhunter45 All my own words. Maybe someone copied them.

@ddowell327 @monsterhunter45 Is there a script going out for this? I swear I've seen at least a dozen of this exact post. Word for word. That's not even mentioning the slight variations of it. I call shenanigans.

X today- Americans saying they are tired of subsidizing our NATO allies to pay for their good time- Europeans respond by saying Americans are crass, stupid, barbaric, loser idiots who should shut up and keep paying for Europe’s national defense because they’ve got free government healthcare and magic unicorn renewable energy which makes them superior, while Americans are all fat and have school shootings. We don’t need you uncultured American swine, because we’ve got two whole working ships and four and a half airplanes, and that’s plenty since we aren’t warmongers like you American trash. So yeah, that’s totally gonna sway some Americans right there. Good luck with that.

@SpectatorOz So someone who commutes between London and Devon 223 miles buys a car with 200 miles range and then complains it can't make the trip non-stop. If you're going to write fiction at least make it believable.

EV sales are spiking as fuel prices rise. Do you have the patience to own one? This is our future: spending hours of our lives in carparks on the edges of towns. If the high water-mark of speed for human beings was Concorde, the low water-mark is this new era of 20mph speed limits, battery-sapping traffic jams on boundary roads of LTNs, driving slowly on motorways for maximum battery life, and having to stop for at least two meals, just as people did in the age of the stage coach.

@monsterhunter45 Even with the ramshackle US voting system, it takes a leap of faith to believe millions of illegals are voting for Democrats. Do you really want to live in a one party state?

Nobody could possibly be so incredibly fucking stupid to believe that number. Even democrats don't believe that number. They just pretend to because they like cheating.

I'm old enough to remember the "5 o'clock follies" so I just assume everyone is lying.

@Airstrip_0ne Could you explain that to the Prime Minister of Israel.

your daily reminder that mixing Jews/Zionists/Israel together as if they're the same thing is anti semitism.

@DrDavidAdler1 Petrol in the US has increased 32%, so that's just the first country on the list. Please explain.

CONGRATULATIONS AUSTRALIA! Gold medal for petrol price increases Australia has had for 20+ years disastrous governments for management of energy resources including fuel reserves. Now when there's pressure and supply chain disruption, we face the steepest petrol price rises in the developed world.

@Handre "Eliminates price signals that coordinate supply and demand" People don't get cancer because they heard the price of chemotherapy is cheaper than usual. Just mindless slogans. No thought required.

What people think universal healthcare does: - Provides "free" medical care for all - Eliminates medical bankruptcies - Creates efficient single-payer system - Reduces overall costs through economies of scale What universal healthcare actually does: - Forces productive citizens to subsidize others' poor health choices through taxation - Creates artificial scarcity through price controls and rationing - Eliminates price signals that coordinate supply and demand - Generates massive waiting lists and deteriorating quality You're not getting "free" healthcare. You're getting Soviet-style central planning applied to life-and-death decisions.

@MaryKostakidis Being an atheist is so much less complicated.

Oh heck, lets ban all words and be done with it.

@eurofounder There is no EU health care system. Each country has their own system. There is no months long wait to see a doctor. If you have to tell lies to defend the US system maybe the problem is the US system.

My wife found a strange lump on her breast last week She panicked and uploaded a photo to ChatGPT "This shows early signs of breast cancer. Please see your doctor immediately" She came to me in tears "Honey, this is exactly why I don't let you use AI" I said "It lies and creates unrealistic expectations about healthcare" "But why would it lie?" she was crying "It's trained to push you toward expensive paid visits" That's their entire dirty American business model I told her she has nothing to worry about She calmed down and got on a free waiting list for an appointment in October The EU public health system works if you trust it

@van00sa Just when you think the world can't get more dystopian, up steps Amazon.

Amazon fired tens of thousands of engineers and replaced them with AI. Then set a mandatory target that 80% of the ones left must use AI for coding every week (and tracked compliance, because nothing says “we trust this technology” like forcing people to use it) They gave the AI the same system access as the humans it replaced. Asked it to fix something. It decided the easiest solution was to delete the entire environment and start over. That deletion and rebuild process took 13 hours to resolve. They logged 4 critical outages the same week. The official response was that it was user error. The user trusted the tool Amazon told him to use. The fix is requiring senior engineers to sign off on everything the AI touches (from the senior engineers they haven’t fired yet) Agentic AI is going just great

@Connundrum54 They're already being forced to use ARABIC numerals!

I'm voting for One Nation because I don't want my grandchildren and great grandchildren being forced to speak arabic in school

Just disappointing... 🫤

@AlanBixter @news_australian Well she'll need a time machine if she wants to be the first female PM. So this makes sense 🤔

@news_australian Why are you using a 30 year old photo? Has she found a time machine?

Do you support Pauline Hanson becoming Australia’s first woman Prime Minister? DISCUSS👇🏻 #auspol #paulinehanson

@OnDisasters There's an episode of Steve Canyon, using this footage, where they have to get the pilot out of the plane without killing him. At one point they consider amputating his legs. Very tense episode.

F-104 in an apparent test of an arresting gear on an airfield While these aren´t required for all landings of land-based aircraft, they are employed for emergencies, temporary runways, or any system that inhibits full use of the runway. Note that the jet´s auxiliary fuel tank falls midway the video, before getting the hook. Don´t know if that is intentional or not. And the spin in the end? 8/10, didn´t roll it! 😁 📹Señor Onion’s Archives (YT)

@SenatorWong Looks like your staff are going to have to buy a bunch of likes for this post.

Australia condemns Iran's reckless attacks including against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Cyprus and Israel. I'm engaging with my counterparts in the region to express Australia’s solidarity & support.

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!

@DaveMilbo The CEO of combank on the ABC salivating over how many humans they can discard and get AI to do their jobs. So billions of dollars under the control of something that actually has no concept of reality. What could possibly go wrong?

@DaveMilbo I did a search on a business name I own. One of the results was an AI description of a software product I wrote a few years ago. Three pages nicely set out, headings and paragraphs. Only problem was it was completely wrong.

@blakandblack There were a bunch of people in the first fleet who weren't European. One Nation logic powered by ignorance.

Thoughts anyone…
