It always bothers me how science fiction presents artificial intelligence. How it’s made, how it’s taught and how it’s interacted with is astonishingly stupid.
A philosopher is always the right answer.

Black people in the United States are both the highest population of self-identified Christians and it’s strongest in self-reported faith.
They forget..
Christianity is their former slave master’s religion.
This is a little muddled, but I had some ideas I wanted to get out there.

People hide behind the shield of ancestral abuse and fish for privilege.

Not surprising.
There are plenty of good (and bad) bands and songs that both you and I haven’t heard of.

A long while back, this blog lost its database. That’s why it went dark for some months.
The host claimed that the database was dropped using it’s hosting control panel. This post is an examination of that claim using The Chain of Trust.
It tries to break down that claim and other possibilities to understand their likelihood and difficulty. This is a method to untangle claims to line them up and go down that list. If at any point a link in that chain is seen to be impossible, then the entire claim falls apart.
This is the reasoning that should be done with any discussion, especially something as important as the law. Make a bulleted list, go down it from start to finish. For each link, show another chain coming off of it. Any link from that parent-chain that branches must itself have one single unbroken chain.
This could be demonstrated physically, even graphically, but is straightforward to do in a top-down list (a post), a bulleted list for the main chain, bulleted lists for each link, and hyperlinks for any shared problems.
I don’t know that I demonstrated this very well, but I’ll give it a shot with a real-world claim.
This is largely a tags placeholder.

For me, the concept of “selling out” most strongly applies to bands, though I would apply it to anything with a significant long-term audience.
In terms of music, it is when a band begins gritty and in later albums becomes smoother, more polished, more saleable,
I’ve always imagined little suppliers being strong-armed by corporate interest and the greed brought by success. People in suits dictating what they can and cannot do, “for their better interest” and who end up siphoning off of their success. This sort of thing.
Again for music, it is when a huge industry has bright eyed innocents pitch to bands, locking them into a contract, manipulating their art into a product packaged for an audience like so much cologne. Occasionally nice, but fashionable garbage.
You’ll see it in music, movies, games and probably other places.

A corporate drone goes mad and spirals into psychopathy, violently lashing out at society.
An absolutely mandatory film. As heavy-handed as its anti-corporatism is, it has fantastic subtleties requiring multiple viewings. There are very few movies which can achieve this level of watchability. This is absolutely an A-class dudebro movie.

Based on Fight Club – (1996 book), by Chuck Palahniuk
This will probably be buried in the depths of this thread, but as someone who is a steward and community advocate at Slickdeals, I thought I might be able to relay some of the insight we’ve garnered as we’ve built our community.

For all those fighting the bad fight. Fighting for the wrong things in the wrong places. Without priorities.
Trigger warnings are a trigger, and SJW PTSD is giving me PTSDSD.
