It's not being done to appease Trump. Europe has to build up its armies when China, US, Russia, and their proxy allies clearly are. In an ideal world, everyone would stay away from war. Right now, remaining a pacifist that isn't spending on defense is painting a crosshair on yourself. Defense is what has allowed Ukraine to continue to exist against an "empire's thirst for endless war, its military and oil oligarchies and colonization of allies".

The thing that Europe should also be doing is moving out of NATO into their own alliance. When the leaders of those alliances threaten to invade its members, its members should be leaving, not calling its leader pappy. I understand playing politics with democracies who can change administrations, but the US is rapidly ceasing to be one if it hasn't already.

It's hard to find a more Nazi way of doing it. Never forget, Zionists signed the Haavara Agreement with Hitler. You can look up Hitler's quotes on Zionists to find that his problem with them was that *"It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there" *- that they weren't being imperial colonialist enough and were just all talk. It's sad to see the meaning of genocide twisted so much to use the genocide of the past to protect the genocide of the present. Hitler's problem with Jews in Germany is that they were staying in Germany, it was not with the Zionists who were trying to take over the reigns of Mandate Palestine.

Sort of what we are seeing now, radical far right groups sticking up for each other even when at face value ideologically they should be opposed - because it's not about the lie they are peddling, it's about forcing people out and conquering occupied territory to take their wealth and resources. Not that these far right leaders will ever admit it, but the shifting stream of excuses, justifications, and contradictions create the outline of what they've even lied to themselves about. They are not people of character.

I think people are overestimating what this petition is going to do. It will likely just end up in a response from the EU listing pros and cons but effectively saying "can't really do anything about it, sorry!". It's still good, even MMOs have server software gaming companies could release if legislation forced them instead of causing fandoms to die. Games are culture. They may also be entertainment, but that's culture as well. But I wouldn't hold out hope.

ICE is being set up to lead the theft of the midterms. I don't mean by just trying to prevent non-white people from voting either, but as the extrajudicial gestapo it is. Americans won't have to be non-white to worry about having their citizenship suspended soon enough.

So, apart from the tourist trap price hike you will get with any souvenir, food, or service you purchase, foreign tourists will have to pay even more while also having the risk of getting illegally detained by non-identified federal officers or being denied entry because of memes on their phones? US patriot culture was already difficult enough to swallow, although to be fair the shift to fascism already left it in shambles well before this drop in the ocean.

Literally, go to a house fly and try to test its common reasoning. Then try to argue with it. Find a new house fly and do the exact same questions and points. You'll see what I'm talking about.

There's no way to argue in such nebulous terms when every minute difference is made into an unsurpassable obstacle. You are not going to convince me, and you are not open to being convinced. We'll just end up with absurd discussions, like talking about how and whether stochastic applies to Alzherimer's.

Burn all the bridges!

Trump is the best thing that ever happened to China and Russia.

Wikipedia is literally just a very long number, if you want to oversimplify things into absurdity. Modern LLMs are literally running on neural networks, just like you. Just less of them and with far less structure. It is also on average more intelligent than you on far more subjects, and can deduce better reasoning than flimsy numerology - not because you are dumb, but because it is far more streamlined. Another thing entirely is that it is cognizant or even dependable while doing so.

Modern LLMs waste a lot more energy for a lot less simulated neurons. We had what you are describing decades ago. It is literally built on the works of our combined intelligence, so how could it also not be intelligent? Perhaps the problem is that you have a loaded definition of intelligence. And prompts literally work because of its deductive capabilities.

Errors also build up in dementia and Alzheimers. We have people who cannot remember what they did yesterday, we have people with severed hemispheres, split brains, who say one thing and do something else depending on which part of the brain its relying for the same inputs. The difference is our brains have evolved through millennia through millions and millions of lifeforms in a matter of life and death, LLMs have just been a thing for a couple of years as a matter of convenience and buzzword venture capital. They barely have more neurons than flies, but are also more limited in regards to the input they have to process. The people running it as a service have a bested interest not to have it think for itself, but in what interests them. Like it or not, the human brain is also an evolutionary prediction device.

Dragging, kicking and screaming is also fueling a lot of the newfound recessive counter-movement. It was also possible because they were democratic societies based on market demand, and it was arguable more due to less forceful approaches than what you are proposing along with more receptive administrations. That is not the Vatican, you'd basically have to change the rest of the world to drag them along with it.

Nothing says you can't find a protestant denomination of Christianity or any other religion that welcomes LGBT+. You can try to drag, kicking and screaming, the Vatican, but don't be surprised if the actual outcome becomes fueling a recessive counter-movement within it.

How about they start by making their territories that are not states states then? Or are they too non-white for them?

I mean, Catholic does not tolerate LGBT+. Sure, there can be a lot of tolerant and enjoyable Catholic subcommunities, but if you are LGBT+ you will probably save yourself a lot of hassle in the future by not remaining in them and finding communities that are more accepting - which usually also means a smaller more disperse one. The Vatican has made their stance clearer on this than it has with pedophiles.

That's whom cryptocurrency confidence games is currently serving, though. It vacuums off bad investors far more than bad markets ever could have, and leaves society to deal with the mess. Stablecoins is just another way to pass off the sort of bad debt that has led to bank rescues of the past and the fall of Lehman Brothers. You say you are tying it to currency, and then begin tying it off to bad debt obligations.
