i got woken up by lookner yelling a bunch a min ago rofl

Why doesn't Iran like just wait, and launch all the missiles at once, rather than like enough that Israel can shoot down?

This is not politics, this is a war tactics question.

[Ekco]

yeah not sure, the time they did send a bunch a couple days ago the dome system couldn't handle it as well

[magnetaress]

Mebbe they are afraid of reprisal if too effective. Butt want to send a message. Or goad Isreal into doing something so they can cry foul.

It is bad tactics tho. Wasting ammunition and giving the enemy time to train on ur capabilities isn't effective strategy.

[shovelquest]

It is so dumb to be like, ok today we are going to fire rockets for 3 minuets, then stop,. then tomorrow we will do the same thing! Then we will do it again twice the day after that, then nothing for a day, the again the day after that once more!

Like bro wtf every single time nothing happens, why do you keep doing this?!

all those apps are honeypots i think, know they were told to uninstall WhatsApp over there, the amount of cyber attacks over the last month or so is insane

In what is described as the largest data breach in history, 16 billion login credentials have been leaked online. This includes passwords from major platforms like Apple, Google, and Facebook.

Hackers with possible links to Israel have drained more than $90 million from Nobitex, Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange

It's terrifying there isn't a decentralized and encrypted network with trust levels and a strong degree of privacy anymore for civvies.

The three letters agencies always seem to gain control of these projects either through corporate buyouts or implanting controlling members. Or lastly by running shadows criminal orgs that destroy the community... not going to even talk about these platforms here because I don't want any of yall caught in fishing operations and u can go to jail just for running a node and never even looking.

I think throughout the annuls of history, the age where man transitioned from iron to electrode will be remembered fondly, I think we've lived through the (latter) heart of a second renaissance.

And we're about to begin a second dark age.

[shovelquest]

In terms of the matrix. I think there is argument to be had that it's the ideal human age for a battery.

You could go back to some time in the past, but life expectancy was lower, and the population is less.

During the 1990s there were the most people on the globe during a period of stability. And the most amount of analog distractions.

Any further into the future from there, the more unstable you get until the artificial intelligence is invented.

Even if there is a population boom in the next 20 years and it takes 100 to build the matrix, you don't want your batteries using the tools that could free them from the simulation.

And that's why we might be in the matrix, and after a good long run, it's about to be reset!

Ellison is just one of the latest Fortune 500 CEOs to point out that AI is coming for white-collar workers' jobs. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, kicked off the hot topic in late May with claims to Axios that AI could eliminate "half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years."

We're in that phase with AI where we were with VR right before we were all about to find out it made you want to puke.

Everyone was so friggen excited. And within a week after launch everybody was like, oh this isn't real at all, never mind.

Dunno. Lotta ppl spending 20k plus on setups for VR skyrim.

VR and AI both have their uses and early adopters, just like cable internet was a boom then bust

they always overspend and oversaturate whatever the new thing is, it's just easier to make jokes about VR or AI or the smart glasses, and yeah the price is hurting it also with regards to a dope VR setup

all of it will be as common as not having shit internet is now though, soon(tm)

Virtual reality is interactive 3d video, depicting a fake world that you are not actually in.

Not a security camera feed strapped to your face.

There are virtually zero "early adoptions" of VR in the market today.

And anyone making VR is making it for an extremely niche group.

But sure, oculus investors did very well.

Now its time for that exact same person to "disrupt" the weapons industry.

Big yikes ahead :)

My understanding of most drone pilots are in a ditch with some wood over them, about 1 mile away from the violence.

Ive also heard there is like, zero quarters for drone pilots on both sides, instant execution.

Which I would do after watching my friends butthole get exploded open while he begged to the bomb that was about to do it to let him live.

This is not a political post, it is a war tactics post. I hate that anytime I bring up fucking anything that has to do with anything It feels like im doing something bannable.

It would quickly devolve to the trench 1 mile away like shovelquest said tho as attrition took over and resources got spent.

We have satellites and big radio networks now. Butt in a full scale war you couldn't depend on those. Especially with missiles being able to target satellites pretty easily and stuff.

yeah my gut tells me it's been over for a very long time. i look at the anti-china propaganda the same way we hated Japan in the 70s/80s and were scared shitless of their manufacturing and banking system

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Heard about this

It was supposedly 8v1(!) and they were attempting to carjack a woman. To rush into those odds unarmed is very brave and honorable, but I think this is one of those times where the line between bravery and stupidity gets very blurry

What would be the result if he didn’t? The car gets stolen? Ok report it stolen, not a huge deal, not worth risking your life. To my knowledge the woman wasn’t getting seriously hurt (although I could be wrong on this)

If the woman was getting hurt, I think it’s no longer dumb to attempt to intervene, but at 8v1 odds it would be the same as trying to defend her from a tiger. You could be a hero, but the only way is going to be to get mauled yourself and MAYBE she gets free. Or maybe she still dies right after you

This also a scenario where I wonder if it would have been good or a nightmare to have a gun. Teen boys in a group of 8 are still dumb enough to maybe not be frightened away by the sight of a gun. So you have to shoot a few if they come at you? Killing multiple teens would be a complete legal nightmare and political firestorm

So this was a lose-lose scenario no matter how you slice it. Just my thoughts. Bad parents create bad kids

I love my 2021 Tacoma, so if I saw someone trying to steal or vandalize my truck it would be pure fury causing me to run up on them. And after I take a gut stab or a bullet my last dying thought would probably be “well that was fuckin stupid”

But if it was your car or someone else’s car? Hellllll no I’m not getting my ass beat or dying for someone’s beater-ass shitbox of a car. Sorry

Now, the caveat would be if it was occurring on my block where I live. I have the same kind of righteous anger about protecting my particular neighborhood, anger to the level that would override fear (remember anger is always more powerful than fear, use it when you need it) or even rationality. So I might die for someone else’s car, but in my mind it would be an honorable death because I was trying to protect the overall safety of my neighborhood

But again, 10 miles away at some gas station or something? Pass. Super pass. Sorry your car got stoeled. Call your insurance

Just yesterday too I saw someone pull away from a Dunkin Donuts I was at while dropping a balled up wrapper out of their window into the parking lot as I was pulling in. I was a bit pissed

I had a couple options there:

- Block their vehicle with my truck and inform them I’m making a citizen’s arrest for littering and for them to remain in their vehicle until the police arrive

There's too many stories where the hero gets killed.

This is because satan invented poetry to convince people not to fight for good causes.

The would be soldiers that would actually fight to end evil have seen to many movies that brainwash them to think only cowards and evil people survive and all the hero's are killed.

But that's a lie, satan just doesn't want you to fight back.

[OriginalContentGuy]

If you take the hypothesis that viewing movies allows suggestion and stories (which are also processed and stored) into the human brain largely unconsciously, and you understand that Big Cinema is about money and control more today than ever before, then it follows that if one desires to be a great hero, one should reject what Hollywood/Mass Media would program you with and discover one's own power and seek original stories. And then maybe see about doing something truly different. To me that's a great hero.

[shovelquest]

It's not about control, it's about you losing faith in yourself, and not wanting to exist in gods earth.

You're close but Hollywood is bankrupt and all the people that ran it for the last 100 years are in jail for sexually harassing an employee.

Satan promised degenerate narcissists power and money with hollywood, and then took it away from them.

Man has no clue what is going on, there is no vast conspiracy of man acting like a beehive all working on some giant conspiracy together.

But there are conspiracies controlled by things you'd describe as an alien, designed to make you hate yourself, life and god.

Where's magna, i have this cool fun-fact.

The Talmud teaches this timeline:

Six thousand years is the duration of "the world".

2,000 years of chaos,
2,000 years of Torah,
2,000 years of the days of the Messiah.

Then 1000 years of peace on the 7th day.

Jewish tradition, based on the Torah and later rabbinic calculations (e.g., Seder Olam), places Abraham’s birth around 1948 BCE (give or take 52 years? :p )

In 8 years, Jesus (the messiah) will have died 2000 years ago.

When Jesus returns, the new testament says we will live in a golden age of peace for 1000 years.

what do texts say will happen during the 2000 years of the messiah in the 6000 years of man

I thought it might give me things I could correlate to real life events or something but this stuck out as my favorite

The Second Coming is expected around 2028–2033 (2000 years from Jesus’ death in 28–33 CE), preceded by a 7-year tribulation, rapture, and the "War of Gog and Magog" or Armageddon.

Yeah a follow up to that would have been great, the guns in that movie were so insane, all the different ones they had from the space ship.

It always made me wonder, why do they need a lightning gun, and a like make yourr cells explode gun etc.

Why not just: a gun?

I was wondering they must have needed all those different types of weapons, to handle the different types of environments they encounter exploring space.

It's funny sometimes the way history echoes and rhymes. Today's two 'sides' are basically the same two sides we've always had, they've never gotten along, ever; they didn't get along when the country was founded and we had to create the Senate in order to coax them into a bitter and unhappy marriage, forfeiting the integrity of our republic in the process.

They didn't get along in the 1860's when the industrial north came to be so utterly dominant that even the south's scheme for minority rule would be insufficient to sustain slavery. And it came to blows, and the south fought for a hopeless and evil cause-- whether you believe that cause was slavery or states rights-- still evil either way, because for the south states rights meant disproportionate representation and minority rule, using the Senate as a tool for functional disenfranchisement, as it's used today.

The thing that seems to echo is something that happened in 1859, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. John Brown was not a smart man, a suicidal religious fanatic, and probably a prolific masturbater, he rounded up a gang of rabble to raid a US federal armory, seeking to use the weapons stored there to arm Southern slaves and start a mass slave uprising. The entire plan was half-baked from start to end in ways I won't go into detail on, but--

It was a desperate, immoral, and fanatical act that was done with good intentions. What essentially amounted to an attack on the federal government, was eventually celebrated in the North, and was such a shock to the South that it kicked off the formation of organized local militias that would go on to be the backbone of the Confederacy just a few years later.

I think if both the right and left continue down this path toward a warlike footing, basically a focus on total vanquishing of the other side, across all spheres-- political, social, economic-- then we're not very far from a crisis somewhere close in scale to the Civil War. And it would be nothing like the Civil War, it wouldn't be country vs. country, army vs army, the US isn't set up like that anymore. I feel like it'd be just a shitload of violence and chaos.

Honestly my preference at this point is what we should have done all along. The US should not be one nation, it should be at least two. Liberal, cosmopolitan, urban areas... this country would look like Germany, dense, highly industrialized. Then conservative, more rural and heartland areas... this country would look more like a conservative version of Canada or Australia, lower density, greater proportion of resource extraction and agriculture.

It has been almost 300 years and this experiment has not worked lol. The right and left have, and always have had, wholly incompatible visions for virtually everything and have constantly undermined each other. In fact they've only been able to coexist in a single country because of ridiculous, bogus compromises like the Senate. Oh no, we won't be #1 top dog superpower! Who gives a fuck, we have our own continent, and we're about to get shitcanned by an Asian coalition anyway.

RE the two sides thing.

I personally think we have good & evil, left & right, yes & no, because we evolved in a star system that has "night & day"
If we came from a 2 star system that had night, day, and like some other day that was different, then we would be a 3 party people.
Yes, no, maybe.

When it comes to end times prophecy, I think there's two ways to look at it.

1. Its prophecy.
2. It's game theory.

Like, "if you see these things happening, the final result will be mass death, then after that - re construction and peace for a long time"

It's odd for me to be sure that the world is going to end because of climate change, but then say a Christian who believe something that is described identically as the effects of climate change, is an asshole.

Like we got one side saying:

An evil dictator is going to destroy freedom and everything we've built and seat himself as king!

Then we have the other side saying:

An evil dictator is going to destroy freedom and everything we've built and seat himself as king!

Why all the arguing?

yeah I totally love that line, ive tried to pick it a part, but it definitly was the highest population on earth (more batteries) with the least amount of conflict for the longest period (fewer server resets).

I like to think about it like this:

If you were to ask me, "Do you want to play with the best toys that any generation got to play with? Then do you want to be the first to experience video games? Then do you want to watch the best appocolypse and zombie movies? Then do you want to experience the internet, and technology bringing all of those to completion.

[Ephirith]

Was America, the only important country, at its cultural peak in 1999?

It's unclear in the movie whether they're talking about America specifically, or global human culture. Whether 1999 truly represented the peak of human, or even American, culture would be an endlessly complex and futile argument.

All I'm saying is, it certainly feels that way to me. Though I'm sure every generation probably feels like the world as it was during their youth was the best version of the world. Truman Show picked the 1950's, and I love how when they zoom out to LA it's a desolate hellscape

[shovelquest]

The single largest impact on global health was the rollout of vaccines to 3rd worlds that happened in 2000, took about 4 years. So the best argument you can ha ve for a better time to keep the most stable largest number of people alive, would be 5 years after 1999.

Since 2020 life expectancy has dropped because of conflicts and covid.

Personally I think the 2nd roaring 20s was 2010-2020.

Maybe 2005-2015.

But if you asked me, peak humanity was during that 10 year run.

Also can we admit the best time to be alive in America was 1920-1930.

So we can stop with the bickering between student debt borrowers, and boomers over which one of their generations is better.

[shovelquest]

I think it's also important to consider the "window of opportunity"

Surely they are not just resetting the simulation every day, people have lives in the matrix.

My guess is that it ran from around 19XX to 2020 and then they reset the server with covid.

Weather you're a boomer, or a millennial, you can all agree that the best decade for stable batteries was in that window.

The clear winner. Unsurprising for two reasons. One, I suspect much forum activity takes place while people are waiting for a rez. Second, the world keeps ending in 1982 as NATO has no choice but to escalate to nuclear munitions after Soviet forces break out through the Fulda Gap. No matter how far back they reset the simulation, Reagan comes through for us every time. If they ever get past that death-loop we can live again instead of being stuck on maintenance in the backup.

Project Blue Beam is a long-standing conspiracy theory that claims NASA and other global organizations are planning a fake alien invasion or a staged second coming of Christ.

Given the current climate, an Orson Welles-style 'War of the Worlds' event could easily push enough people over the edge to give governments an excuse for a never-ending martial law situation.

Hmm I wonder if it's a good idea to go raid the grocery stores tomorrow morning and load up.

Do you think because nobody is telling us to panic that it's time to panic?

They wouldn't tell us if it was. They'd tell us not to use protective gear, so the important people (Chyna) could have it.

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

You know how I know it's the end times? The next generation of big young actors simply doesn't exist. Couldn't even remake glorious fun 90's slop like Independence Day or Forrest Gump if we wanted to because there is no successor to Will Smith or Tom Hanks.... much less the masterpieces.

You know how long it's been since I've seen a fucking new movie? Looking back at the 90's, now, is starting to feel like this (https://youtu.be/MIDrL5zRwxU?si=MjLTZ4nGHhPAs7R6&t=17)

Music sucks too in comparison and there's no excuse for that. It's easier than ever, if you make great music, to get it on the market.

there's still good shit out there, it's just drowned out by capeshit and cash-cow remakes. eddington was a great movie.

it does seem like damn near every star under 40 is just some rich asshole's kid these days, though. nepo babies annoy me unless it's a sports dynasty. and even then, arch manning is pretty irritating.

maybe the world is the same as it's always been and we're just becoming crabby old men, screaming at the kids to gtfo my lawn.

long story short: streaming services, social media and influencers. they all muddied the waters of classic hollywood era. i actually have pretty comprehensive thoughts on this topic, but its early and i havent had a full cup of coffee yet. but thats the short story of it

it is the same as its ever been. the ancient greek thinkers from 2000+ years ago had these same thoughts about the cult of personality and demagoguery and people who wish to take advantage of the fact that we are all dumb ass primates and were not as smart as we think we are.

Well you know what happened to Greece? It collapsed, half the worlds population died, and writing disappeared for centuries during the “Greek Dark Ages.”

What happens when Greece is armed with nukes and it collapses?

My science teacher blew my mind as a kid with this awesome video called Greece: How we could have lived among the stars.

And it was about how if Greece never collapsed, we'd be living on different planets right now :(

shovel, ever read the 1941 asimov short story, nightfall?

Oh man i love that one!

I actually read it as a short story in a like anthology book of his, but later picked up the novel he aadded to that story with and enjoyed it too.

It's a cool idea.

I like how if you pick two random dinosaur dig sites from different parts of the world, they’re almost always separated by a time span so massive that entire human history would fit between them.

So like, we totally could have made it to the bronze age at least a few times IMO.

Can you imagine how bummed the people 1000 years from now are goanna be if we reset the timeline like the greeks

"we could be in the 4th dimension and immortal gods by now if everyone didn't try to larp the book of revelations back in the early 2000's"

With Israel Withdrawal, Hamas Finally Able To Conduct Public Executions In Peace (https://babylonbee.com/news/with-israel-withdrawal-hamas-finally-able-to-conduct-public-executions-in-peace)

"Like slipping into a comfortable pair of old shoes," said spokesterrorist Amal Qadir. "It's been a long time since we were able to enjoy our normal daily activities, but thanks to Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, we can settle back into publicly executing people who refuse to comply with our demands. It's nice."

Though the ceasefire was still in its early stages, the mutual release of hostages and Israel's willingness to pull back from the war front have given Hamas at least some semblance of having their lives go back to normal. "It's refreshing to get a little taste of the way things used to be before the war," Qadir continued. "Just this morning, we got up, went for a brisk morning walk, and lined up a few insolent rebels and shot them in the head before sitting down for breakfast. It's wonderful to have peace."
