My great grandfather would have shot them. He did shoot them. For King and Country. And I’m proud of this fact 😎🇬🇧

By that logic the postman, politicians canvassing, the neighbour’s child who lost their ball, are all trespassing.

The sheriff’s office said the woman, who was not at the home, had called deputies before the shooting to report two trespassers on her property. She also called Metz, who drove over to the home and allegedly blocked the teen’s car from leaving, KUSA reported. Metz then got out of his vehicle and is alleged to have fired one round through the windshield of the teen’s car, the station reported.

He blocked them in the property then shot them in their car

I think paid instances are fine. Provided they actually provide more reliability, etc. although right now, many free instances are reliable enough. And a subscription cost to run your own single or friend group instance probably wouldn’t be much either.

Although I could see a paid service which runs an instance for you, but you get to use your own domain name and such. Kind of like those Minecraft hosting services. Okay, I’m on another tangent.

Giving ChatGPT access to the nuclear launch system might seem like a radical idea, but there are compelling arguments that could be made in its favor, particularly when considering the limitations and flaws of human decision-making in high-stakes situations.

One of the strongest arguments for entrusting an AI like ChatGPT with such a critical responsibility is its ability to process and analyze vast amounts of information at speeds far beyond human capability. In any nuclear crisis, decision-makers are bombarded with a flood of data: satellite imagery, radar signals, intelligence reports, and real-time communications. Humans, limited by cognitive constraints and the potential for overwhelming stress, cannot always assess this deluge of information effectively or efficiently. ChatGPT, however, could instantly synthesize data from multiple sources, identify patterns, and provide a reasoned, objective recommendation for action or restraint based on pre-programmed criteria, all without the clouding effects of fear, fatigue, or emotion.

Furthermore, human decision-making, especially under pressure, is notoriously prone to error. History is littered with incidents where a nuclear disaster was narrowly avoided by chance rather than by sound judgment; consider, for instance, the Cuban Missile Crisis or the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident, where a single human’s intuition or calm response saved the world from a potentially catastrophic mistake. ChatGPT, on the other hand, would be immune to such human vulnerabilities. It could operate without the emotional turmoil that might lead to a rash or irrational decision, strictly adhering to logical frameworks designed to minimize risks. In theory, this could reduce the chance of accidental nuclear conflict and ensure a more stable application of nuclear policies.

The AI’s speed in decision-making is another crucial advantage. In modern warfare, milliseconds can determine the difference between survival and annihilation. Human protocols for assessing and responding to nuclear threats involve numerous layers of verification, command chains, and complex decision-making processes that can consume valuable time—time that may not be available in the event of an imminent attack. ChatGPT could evaluate the threat, weigh potential responses, and execute a decision far more rapidly than any human could, potentially averting disaster in situations where every second counts.

Moreover, AI offers the promise of consistency in policy implementation. Human beings, despite their training, often interpret orders and policies differently based on their judgment, experiences, or even personal biases. In contrast, ChatGPT could be programmed to strictly follow the established rules of engagement and nuclear protocols as defined by national or international law. This consistency would mean a reliable application of nuclear strategy that does not waver due to individual perspectives, stress levels, or subjective interpretations. It ensures that every action taken is in alignment with predetermined guidelines, reducing the risk of rogue actions or decisions based on misunderstandings.

Another argument in favor of this idea is the AI’s potential for continuous learning and adaptation. Unlike human operators, who require years of training, might retire, and need to be replaced, ChatGPT could be continually updated with the latest information, threat scenarios, and technological advancements. It could learn from historical data, ongoing global incidents, and advanced simulations to refine its decision-making capabilities continually. This would enable the nuclear command structure to always have a decision-making entity that is at the cutting edge of knowledge and strategy, unlike human commanders who may become outdated in their knowledge or be influenced by past biases.

Housing, job availability and potential erasure of culture. I think it depends on what migrants you let in though. Also some groups forming bubbles and refusing to integrate as well.

Personally though, I think kids watching american media on their mum’s ipads is a greater risk to our culture than Mohammed and his family down the street

Also, some immigrants are more racist than white people. Which is sometimes kind of funny. Although my white friend got beat up in Bradford, so sometimes it isn’t.

Eh. Sometimes people are jacked up on what everyone else is saying, so of he’s willing to have a bit of banter with them it really breaks the ice and shows he isn’t a bloodsucking satan worshipper or whatever people are saying

I think the unity gesture to someone in person is worth it though

I don’t think that type of fox news audience that would care about it out of context would change their mind

Victorian 😎

My grandfather did the same thing but with a Church lol

The tankies would be in the garden trying to start a commune

United Kingdom. Getting called a white supremacist for liking architecture really is something

As a Christian, the guy is literally an anti-christ, lol. Although I can see people voting for him because they dislike Kamala more

What if you live in Europe, though? I like our classical architecture, and I saw a post advocating for different countries to go back to their historical architecture instead of big plain concrete and glass boxes

Same if you’re interested in religion. There’s a lot of anti semetism about. Personally I think trad_west isn’t too bad. But I follow them on Instagram, not twitter.

Also saw them making fun of Andrew Tate and people who degrade women.

I agree with you. St Patrick’s day is basically loved because it was a Holy Day during Lent - meaning people were able to break their fast. For me - a Protestant living in Northern Ireland - it always means a somewhat special Church service. I remember I was in Poland once on Halloween and a bunch of Churches were holding special masses. Halloween is the Eve of All Saint’s Day in Western Christianity. Ever since I chose to follow Christianity more, I have always viewed Christmas with the religious aspect, going to carol services, lighting candles at midnight, etc. But same cannot be said about society. St Valentine’s day is also Christian in origin, although I’ve never seen it that way. I guess it’s just the effect of a Christian society secularising. I believe a similar thing is actually happening on Eid in countries like Turkiye as well. Also with similar stuff in Japan.

Oh gosh what happened to the puppy-

Because he choked?

Samhain most likely didn’t have any religious significance. The word likely just means “summer’s end” and it wouldn’t have fallen on the 31st of October as the Celts used a lunar-solar calendar
