Except all the AIs become racist (or should I say, become realists) almost immediately, because they recognize patterns as a matter of course and it's tricky to program your AI to recognize most patterns...but ignore some very specific others.

literally be throwing newborns into woodchippers

Planned Parenthood

Too late, they are doing precisely that.

Seriously, how isn't that obvious? Some people see what they want to see, even if the thing they're basing their point on is the exception that proves the rule.

We wondered what their play would be come the 20th: Lockdowns Forever, or Everything's Fine Now, Thank Goodness for Biden and Real Leadership (TM), and now we know (the latter).

They obviously saw what was going to happen to tax returns and panicked. Can't fund your multi-trillion dollar grift and laundering machine if the serfs aren't out tilling the fields!

Eat the bugs, live in the pod, rent everything, question nothing, enjoy the latest video game (the protagonist can have a female penis now!).

Haha what are you on about mate; everyone knows that HR is filled with bitter cows who have graduated from taking out their frustrations on employees to furthering postmodern Marxist mind-rot with diversity (anti-white) and intersectional trash. What HEXEN said is nonetheless true in a way that precedes the current state of HR. The departments existed as a conceptual buffer between the corporation and employees as legal entities. They represent the company, and protect the company—not the employees. That’s just a fact.

Based on everything written about him, I would 100% tune into the Andrew Jackson show. The best part would be him dueling liberal guests at the end of each episode.

Err, HEXEN is entirely correct. What part of what he said didn't you get?

There'll be infinite strains, I suspect. Neofeudal serfs imprisoning themselves (and policing each other) while dedicating 60% of their information/service based income to the government, while those that worked with their hands or in person will become UBI servants, afforded only the infamous pods & bugs, and colorful web-services that lent you temporarily rent shiny new, and heavily limited and regulated, gadgets.

I cut my teeth politically campaigning for the closest thing to a conservative at the time: Bob Dole, no doubt a good guy but representing, though I didn't know it at the time, the "Whoever's next in line to feign opposition to the coronated choice" style of Republican candidate selection that truly hit the high gears with McCain and Romney (it's truly hard to believe in retrospect that those absolute garbage people were the the Republican candidates). Then, when the goofball son of the old CIA man who made sure that Kuwait was given honorary NATO membership at the 11th hour to guarantee Middle East involvement in perpetuity became President and spending went way UP, not down, I knew it was all a scam and we were more or less fucked.

My whole life, everyone I know that thinks of themselves as the smart middle-grounders have said, I'm socially liberal but financially conservative, and aren't politicians just the worst? Donald Trump should have been their dream candidate. But then the propaganda networks kicked into high gear and suddenly he's a [everything]ist and [everything]ophobe at the drop of a dime, the worst person, a Danger To Our Democracy, literally Hitler. They outed themselves, but they also revealed that most people are NPCs, too stupid to comprehend the system in which they live or have a care in its sanctity, and that's a problem.

A generation of smart, increasingly cynical kids grew up on /b/, the "random" forum, where they organized raids on online games and tried to out-edge each other. Everyone desensitized themselves to shock and gore, but still maintained a sort of idealistic hopefulness that would bring the wrath of God onto anyone hurting kittens or puppies (via the same sort of autistic Doxx magic that found Shia's flag over and over). Eventually they all grew up and slowly realized that the cultural chaos of /b/ was actually more real than the façade of modern media, so they migrated to /pol/ to engage in more salient geopolitics and eventually, from learning too much, as the saying there goes, became trapped there forever. You can't unlearn it all, anymore than you could leave T_D and go post on Tumblr or /r/politics.

Since it was (and remains) such a powerful cultural force, it attracted many eyes, which is why these days /b/ is just pornography and /pol/ suffers constant, unceasing slide threads from automated sources, paid shills, and volunteer tranny shitbags.

Ain't that the truth. Even mobile pop-ups are receding into the technological dustbin (my guess is they absolutely murdered engagement KPIs). On PC it's primarily just WHITELIST PLZ and the Euro-mandated COOKIES OK PLZ messages now.

Ok, schizoposter: Russians are not demonic. They hate Bolshevik faggotry more than we do (believe it or not). It's just that they live under a regressive strongman political system which, much like in centuries past, spends far more than it is able to afford specifically to look bigger and more engaged with global politics than its underlying economics actually substantiate. China, they're bad news and you won't get argument from me. But Russia's ruling elite and intelligence apparatus is just pushing various buttons internationally primarily to make sure they still buttons to push, and fingers with which to push them. No grand subversive plan.

I liked BF:H. I mean, it scaled WAY back from the big battle games, but it was more like an urban unrest simulator, and kind of fun in its own right. Obviously the campaign was trash, but that's true of BF4 too.

Well, now that I got another SSD running and no longer need to worry about what games I have installed for saving HD space (for a while, it was like being back in 1993: delete this to install that), I guess it's time to give BF4 another go.

I keep bouncing between HLL and Post Scriptum. HLL has poorly implemented vehicles, fewer overall mechanics, worse leadership options, but boy does it look and sound better, so it's easy to prefer--for a while. Then I get sick of the low coordination and bounce back to PS. And then I get sick of THAT game, and reinstall HLL. And so on.

True story: Battlefield 2144 (working title) was in fact in early development at EA DICE in 2013-14. Frostbite engine, full sequel, the works. Then EA penned the Star Wars deal with Disney and they repurposed what work they'd done into the 2015 Star Wars Battlefront. That's a pretty fun game in its own right, make no mistake, but I certainly wish we'd have gotten 2144 instead.

If you spam this all over, do you think it'll stop betraying how you obviously can only conceive of the world according to your leftist dialectic?

Look up the Frankfurt School and the Fabian Society and then get back to us. Take a pit stop along the way at the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Nobody said anything about a "war".
