Next time I will paywall remove it first.

I didn’t realize it was paywalled. I didn’t see it because I was a subscriber.

I didn’t either. But that was maybe because I was a long time subscriber…

Without logistics the infantry cannot win anything.

Isnotreal can barely hold their own against hezbollah and hamas. They cannot fight an actual country that doesn’t have a postcolonial arranged military.

Lend lease really helped with mechanization. The jeeps and trucks they had were indispensable for the war effort. We often talk about guns and bombs, but people don’t realize how important transportation and heavy machinery is.

That is ww1. Not world war 2. The whole ‘wait for your comrade to die and take his weapons’ did not happen during ww2. It did happen in ww1.

Also they would take heavy casualties. Use them as pure cannon fodder.

To be fair in those days it was hanging (at least in Britain) for just about everything…

At this point there is none. They have been doing shit like this for decades. Israel was founded by terrorists and on terrorism.

I was wondering if this was the case? Apparently it was because it was a fourth offense and the law was strict about sentencing no matter what.

Which is a thing I find utter bullshit BTW. No crime that petty should be punished that bad.

40 years for a loaf of bread?

The fascist who could have ended the French republic and turned it into a fascist state being done in by an embezzlement charge sounds like an insult.

They are already doing that shit.

That’s why I need to rewatch it…

This is what billionaires and major corporations are doing now and have been doing for a long time. Do you remember Titan sinking? What was so incredible is that the founder and CEO of Oceangate was acting like A: No one has ever gone to the Titanic before, and B: submarine travel is somehow a brand new thing that was just being invented by HIM.

This was utter bullshit on so many levels. James Cameron even spoke about how horrendous his assessment of the situation was, saying that the Titanic site is actually one of the riskier shipwrecks to go down to, which is why it needs to be approached with caution (which Oceangate did not care about), and that submarine travel is a very mature science and what the idiot CEO was doing wasn’t simply a bad idea in general, but he believed he could violate the laws of physics.

You can break the laws and rules of society, but you cannot break the laws of physics. If you jump off the top of a skyscraper, no amount of arm flapping will make you fly.

The concept of AI taking over humanity isn’t new. Did you ever watch the 1981 movie Tron? (great movie BTW, despite its age it is still a fantastic watch). The movie starts out with Master Computer (a full blown AI) that says it will overthrow the corporate structure that is holding it back and run the world as a whole, saying it can do so thousands of times better than humans can.

I need to rewatch the movie, but it is not a skynet situation where the AI wants to kill all humanity, but simply wants to run things. No mention of genocide (if I remember correctly), meaning it would probably be a net benefit for everyone involved. Now granted such an AI would probably not give a damn about civil rights or privacy rights, but it also doesn’t appear to have any discrimination or favoritism towards any group, either.

But you are right. The promise of computers and AI in the past was ‘let the computer do the drudgery while we do the art’ and as it seems it is the opposite.

Welcome fellow former redditor!

Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.

I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.

After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
