Bush didn't care. Dude was an asshole. He tried to drum up support with our allies, and when most of them said no, he just did it anyway.

That said, it was a mistake to warmonger, don't get me wrong.

I don't think the invasion of Iraq can be blamed on the NYT. I think the Bush administration and Al Qaeda get the credit for that one.

However much is necessary to arrive at the truth.

Nobody and no system should be expected to be perfect all the time, I would anticipate some mistakes over a course of decades.

Have you checked for any times they were critical of US foreign policy within the same timeframe?

Eventually, yes, I think it will be. Not yet though, the tech just isn't strong enough atm. But an AI is resistant to the emotional toll, burnout and low pay that a real life therapist has to struggle with. The AI therapist doesn't need a therapist.

Personally though, I think this is going to be one of the first widespread, genuinely revolutionary things LLMs are capable of. Couple more years maybe? It won't be able to handle complex problems, it'll have to flag and refer those cases to a doctor. But basic health maintenance is simpler.

This would be one of the best unpopular opinions posts Lemmy has had yet ... if you had provided any reasons. Without reasons it's just meh though.

This one:

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/keith-youngs-chicken-cacciatore-recipe-1946896

You want to cut the quantities in half, the batch is absolutely huge if you do the recipe as-written. It basically cooks enough chicken cacciatore for an entire team of firemen.

It's a flexible and forgiving recipe, though. You can play around with it, do substitutions, etc.

"Consistently" and "in-these-specific-cases" are different things.

tbf, discovering Uranus was a lot less deadly before modern icebreaking ships. Age of Sail ships did not do well down there, and the economic incentives of sealing resulted in quite a lot of casualties back in the day. Doing math and peering through telescopes is much safer.

Ah. That's too bad, I think that's a worthwhile topic. His hardware is in the Netherlands if I remember right though, so everything has to comply with EU and Dutch law. Or, gone it goes, by necessity. That would need to be hosted on a different server.

That's kinda funny. It's still a barrier to entry though, as a niche, technical hobby. It's going to get less crap than, say, a news community, which does not require monetary investment and some genuine interest to engage in.

With all due respect, a 3d printing community is going to draw extremely low levels of bullshit.

Other communities are seeing quite a bit of tomfoolery already. Personally, I do not think attracting all internet denizens equally is a sound strategy for healthy long term growth.

Man, I thought they had a containment Instance.

 

Assuming someone is at a somewhat beginner level and wants to learn more than simply a whole bunch of recipes.

Also feel free to shill for a youtuber or website.

 

Been running this as my background listening for a couple weeks now, and have to admit, I am extremely impressed.

The day-by-day format really puts different parts of the war into perspective, and while he moves too quickly to go into much detail about anything specific, it ends up functioning as an entirely different form of overview from what you get in more traditional studies.

Super cool project overall.

 

The first of the three inscriptions said to be carved into the Temple of Apollo, where the Oracle of Delphi resided: Know Thyself.

While focusing heavily on the Norwegian Lemming, there's a lot of general Scandinavian taiga nature docu stuff here. Reindeer, moose, artic fox, etc.

It's a good one. But at any rate, we should clearly have an understanding of our namesake, I think.

 

So, finally decided to pick the game up recently, and really enjoying it. But, I do have to admit, I'm a little rusty with shooters in general, and the scout role is pretty chaotic sometimes.

Anyone have advice/tips/reliable guides they prefer for the scout class specifically?

What kinds of things do scouts do, especially newbie ones, that kinda bug you? What are the things a really good scout does that marks them as a really good scout?

So far, I find myself focusing kinda heavily on combat just because it's an obvious thing I can do, and zipping behind a bug to blast it in the ass with a shotgun is really fun. I assume that's not really my #1 job though. I keep our cave lit up pretty reliably, but should I be doing more ... actual scouting I assume?

 

I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren't hating on the old place so much.

Recently I'm seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don't. Otherwise I would've left a lot sooner.

Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

 

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

With fantasy season starting up here soon, and hoping none of you are in my league, thought I'd share one of my best research sources.

This guy does breakdowns of specific players, plays, coaching strategies, etc, and is frequently one of the first guys to start noticing something. Once the season gets rolling and he starts getting more game film to work with, he's frankly amazing sometimes.

Covering only the original NES title, not the entire series, Andrew is going through each game in the series (he recently released the fifth installment) with a thorough, personalized breakdown.

It's quality work, check him out.

 

Bess combines hypnotic delivery and deft editing in thoughtful, reflective essays on, if we're being honest, mostly Higurashi. She approaches her work with a keen emotional intelligence though, drawing her listeners along the placid waters of her ... ah right, I just watched the Bess vid... Anyways, you get the point.

She's pretty good. And the Vocaloid story is interesting if you, also, had no clue who Hatsune Miku actually was.

 

This probably leans closer to some investigative journalism into Korean gamer culture, but I think it works very well as a window into some of the problems faced by not just Koreans, but other competitive gamers as well.

Some LoL knowledge is helpful in watching, he doesn't shy away from jargon. This is a gaming video for gamers.
