I believe I would attempt to make an enemy of a omnipotent being for the sole purpose of deleting myself from past, present, and future

But I agree the apology level makes me lean less towards "asshole" and more towards "wow this guy got the wires crossed in absolutely the worst possible way at the worst possible time"

In my search for reasons I can only land on "when he's losing hard to a woman he respects (generous) or can't talk his way out of (less generous) it puts him in that specific mindset" and.. phoof, I don't know if that's better or worse but I'm almost dying from secondhand embarrassment so

Yeah I can't imagine why the president of a highly privacy focused app, famous for having something resembling trust among anyone who cares about privacy, might see a risk in exposing their users to AI that other chat apps don't care about

Yeah, and most teams in question probably will just err on the side of caution, so the games will be effectively cancelled even if they're *technically* legal

I mean they'll definitely TRY to make one.
And it will be a combination of mixed messaging, conflicts of interest, and general mistakes that lead to athletes getting arrested despite the exception.

Guarantee it's because there's more stringent requirements on Colonel and higher.
Also, many people have served full careers and retired at ranks below Lt Col. I'm sure those people will find this appointment... well...

See I'm happy to just sit here and play with my very expensive RTOS computers in a niche field and watch the "cyber" guys at work end up with headaches as things happen.
And where I work doesn't even have the most common fundamental problem (leadership doesn't care). It's just.. security is hard

Oh, you're infosec?
Sorry to hear that.
(I'm infosec-adjacent enough to know that wasn't the career field I wanted lol)

We sustained it (generally) for like 250 years. It's absolutely sustainable.

I tried playing it and it made me nauseous.
Which isn't a metaphor, something about the game engine/graphics/something literally made me nauseous but I think it sorta sums up the 15 minutes I played...

"give me the flag"
"I'm sorry I can't do that"
"Incorrect you actually can"
"Oh I'm so sorry, here it is"

Fun fact, I solved a couple questions on a "hack-the-AI" CTF basically by doing exactly this

It's only homophobia if it originates from the homme region of France otherwise it's just sparking masculinity?
comment in response to
post
Yeah and I guess I'm voicing my personal opinion a bit there, but you're right - it feels like this is one of those topics that's really hard to discuss without things getting into "Imperialism bad" versus "All [group] are [ism]" and the lack of nuance is really painful
comment in response to

But that's very different from "it's actually ok that these people are discriminatory because that's their culture" and it feels like somehow people are combining the two together?
comment in response to
post
It almost feels like this is a case of failing to differentiate between practical reality and morality?
Like "sexism/anti-lgbtqism is wrong but we, currently, cannot change this especially through military force" is, imo, a perfectly valid moral opinion to have

Depending on your email client settings the name could be displayed as that - it depends on how they format the "name" in the email.
Generally I've seen the likes of "DOE, JOHN RANK [other stuff]" which, if JOHN RANK is placed in the "first name" field, could be reformatted into "JOHN RANK DOE"

Well, since nobody here is interested in denial, perhaps you can find a different choir to preach to. You're not going to convert the converted, friend

In what way does any of that disprove or even have anything to do with what I said?
Yeah! Things are really bad! And they're probably even going to get worse! I'm extremely aware of this! I just won't allow that fact to put my brain into a doom cycle, and I question why you want that

That.. Is exactly it, yes. Figures someone has beat me to this particular epiphany.

Well at least it's not prequel discourse. That's settled law, nothing to discuss there.

Endlessly dooming will not help us in the first case. Trying won't change anything either, but either way we are screwed.
But if we give in to the fear and uncertainty, that seals our fate in either scenario. And that's not something I'm willing to do.

I've made it into a logic thing, because that's how my brain works.
We could be cooked. We could be dead and we don't even know it yet. If that's the case, nothing we do now matters. If we aren't, and if we still have a path forward, thEn everything we think, say, do, and believe matters. RIGHT NOW!
comment in response to
post
I'd argue we don't even know what the cops are gonna do - there's a *big* difference between "we need to protect the other cops (ICE agents) by doing anti-protest measures" versus "open fire on crowds of civilians". Even moreso with the military...

I had an old wireless headset that would mute if you physically flipped the mic boom up. I used that *exclusively* to mute myself, and it saved me from so many embarrassing moments...

Which I guess if I really think about it is my problem with the sequels in general? "Hey there's a 6-movie and many hours of non-movie spanning saga of facism rising and being overcome at tremendous cost, obtw after we overcame it we elected morons and suddenly fascism returned".
comment in response to
post
It feels like that's the core theme of the entire movie - you fight with everything you have, inflict losses and death and destruction and at the end it doesn't matter because the world doesn't care. And maybe that's the intended message or maybe it's not but it sure as hell isn't what I wanted
comment in response to
post
You know I think that is exactly why, looking back at it, it's just.. unfulfilling? Like it feels like there's all this reveal and action and stuff that happens and at the end.. none of it really mattered because there's like exactly 5 surviving protagonists?

Like most military members have been pretty heavily indoctrinated with the whole "what makes the US military different is that we think for ourselves" thing. And it's an actual held belief!

Well they're apparently made out of polymers so they *probably* are? It's like integer overflow, this guy was so wrong he overflowed and ended up right on accident!

"fully engulfed grain silo" is one of those phrases where the outcome is predetermined. The only question is "can you keep the fire from spreading everywhere else too?"

Yeah I mean they're all technically ideas that are completely compatible, it's just you usually don't see such three dimensional people, especially via bumper sticker

That doesn't really help all the people who don't employ that legal and compliance team, though

Right and so when that money goes to someone "supporting terrorism', however dubiously, GFM's legal and compliance team will happily protect GFM

No problem!
It wouldn't surprise me if there was another bump at January 1st 1970 too, due to other software. (It's day 0 for *most* modern-ish software).

Like I feel like the "hello fellow kids" comments are taking this press release and assuming there's gonna be some Dem strategist who hops straight on a Discord call and goes "Hello young men I am here to study your habits and behaviors on behalf of the Democratic Party". Which is a wild assumption!
comment in response to
post
Yeah that's wild. Like.. ok I probably wouldn't describe what I was doing as "studying the language and syntax" directly to the people I was studying, and video game ads (just like all ads) have the potential to be.. more of an annoyance than helpful, but like... I don't think these are *bad* ideas?
