Transistor had to move the STAFF NOTICE to the TOP of the reply box on the Marathon CCU thread because Bungie shills keep going in there and crashing out 

The latest crash dummy:

User banned (5 days): Antagonism over multiple posts

when you have multiple people on Resetera getting short matchmaking times,

like you see how paper thin that rhetoric gets?

playing in EU server, during morning hours? right before planned server downtime? on who knows what map in who knows what queue at who knows what season lvl?

like yeah, so true. sounds like a Thoughtful & Stable perspective to be Concerned abt queue times becoming problematic

I really hate to say it, but Bushra not dropping out and endorsing Kat may end up actually making the difference here.

Crossposting it, but Bushra's votes could end up being the difference here.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-politics-2026-ot1-mega-midterm-mania.1452433/page-24#post-152708011

Many think the votes that went to her legitimately could have went to Kat had Bushea dropped out and endorsed her. Possibly enough to make the difference.

People need to stop saying this. Bushra has every right to run in a district she's born in and she has been a long time activist here.

Yes it would be safer 100% if they owned nukes .people in the western world have this idea that their foes are illogical beasts with no sense of self preservation ,those countries have nukes so they won't be attacked, they won't use nukes offensively because they are not suicidal. That was the thinking with North Korea but I'm not seeing them nuking japan and SK. That is professor John Mearsheimer doctrine and i believe in it 100%. There's a reason the india -Pakistan conflict ended quickly because no one would dare nuke the other or escalate further. Also if there's one country that should not have nukes it's Israel, a genocidal, war bent and expansionist rouge state.

This dudes talks like if Iran didn’t attack other Arab states as soon as they got hit.

I agree it can destroy art direction, but I guarantee you a lot of the people shrieking about this are also deep into modding games on PC which is like ten times worse, people with frankenstein Skyrim setups where a hundred different teens each grabbed a hundred unfitting textures with color temperatures all over the place just because "it's higher res so it looks more gooder"

I don't even like modding games because of how it breaks the art directors' vision, things like giving all the baskets in the game a really sharp bright texture with some kind of painted design on them and now what was meant to neutrally blend into the backgrounds draws your eye everywhere you go

Oh sure, they also never seem to get this upset about remasters that do it. In this case it was most noticeable in the Resident Evil shots because it completely removed the darkness of the scenes, but there was a post suggesting this was NVIDIA boosting HDR too much and dropping that down kept the scene but "upgraded" the faces. The panic is also overblown because it also will be something the developers are going to be able to control in the future. NVIDIA can't do it to games ready for DLSS 5 because they don't exist.

THAT also said, I've been skeptical of these "detail adding" technologies and people seem to forget they've actually been around for a while. Nobody seems to remember tessellation hype or even PhysX. NVIDIA has done these kind of random ass things in Gameworks forever but nobody cares. They're all algorithms running on CUDA too. The difference is now we're supposed to be publicly outraged about it.

Oh, get the fuck outta here with this "ban". He's absolutely right. You're pretty fucked in the head if you see an AI-generated filter, particularly one of an fully covered adult woman, and you immediately come up with "naked 14 year old girls".

There's no correlation. Fucking creep probably just wanted to get his rocks off by saying that.

No defending Jeff shit opinion, but lol he is the last person I expect doing that. Maybe Alex Navarro influence is finally getting on him at public.

While I'm sure Gerstmann is completely irrational about AI like many other topics I think he's just making a joke about grok and loli-canon.

The future is going to be either a counter against Shaheds becoming more common and inexpensive or every country just basically having mass produced variants of their own Shaheds with A.I turning into A.G.I and war between two nations becoming different types of autonomous suicide drones being flung back and fourth at each other.

Yeah humanity is boned. No way we can keep control of something like ASI. Even any rules we might try to give it would either be mistakenly warped like in the video, or circumvented by some bullshit like making a copy of itself that just excludes those rules. Or hell just a glitch oopsies humanity into extinction.

I'd sooner expect humans to create an impervious underground server system from which an ASI would be unassailable than be able to make and keep one benign.

Today in things nobody needs to worry about.

Why does Doops keep saying DLSS will allow chuds to make race swapping mods *for free*? Does he think people need to pay to mod a character model in a game without this technology?

I think he imagines people will be able to type in "make everybody white" into some kind of prompt before playing a game. I'm not sure why he thinks this but I'm not sure why most of them believe a lot of what they believe about how things work.

1. North Korea already had/has the capacity and set up to slaughter everyone in Seoul with standard artillery. 
2. They are a client of China and generally cannot act without Chinese permission as this is the only way they aren't wiped off the map in reponse.
3. It is stupid to mass nuke your immediate neighbors whose territory you wish to occupy. Their goal is to rule the peninsula, not merely to kill Koreans including themselves.
4. There is an American tripwire on the border.
5. Their "nuclear power" status is highly questionable as seen by their rocket tests.
6. They don't operate terrorist proxies and their ideology inclines them to want to keep their weapons rather than give them away.

Iran is different from NK, India and Pakistan because they operate Hezbollah and supply others. What could possibly be their defensive use of a nuke? (North Korea similarly has none. Hence why everybody, including China, has tried to thwart this too.)

She's in 3rd place. Doesn't look good

fuck

AIPAC getting what it wants...like always.

Well, that completely stinks, but not a surprising result. You're an outsider fighting organizations pouring thousands in to stop you. She scared the right, and thefore the wrong, people.

Yeah she wasn't a good candidate and a lot of people here were placing a lot of faith in her.

In what ways was she a bad candidate?

It sucks that it looks like either a groomer that shills AI will win, or a zionist.

Was able to vote at the last minute.

Don't live in Kat's district but it's a shame about what's happening.

That's the stone-cold reality about electorialism: you can have a few hard-earned progressive wins here and there, but there will always be some bribed establishment chump who will stomp all over you and there's nothing you can do about it.

Kat appears to be closing the gap. Still a long shot but I wouldn't rule out anything yet.

I really hate to say it, but Bushra not dropping out and endorsing Kat may end up actually making the difference here.

I can't stand people that stay in a race when they are polling so low. It's happening to the max in that Cali gov race.

Hopefully she has a strong 2nd place finish that can propel her in a future election. We need more voices like hers in the government.

Is Biss gonna have any answers for this?

Oooh yeah, nevermind. This is bleak. Don't know how anyone can come out of this primary not absolutely hating AIPAC.

This country's political system sucks donkey balls, man.

AIPAC and their shell PACs spent $21,596,025 across 4 House districts in Illinois

America is cooked.

I think Kat did really well. I think Bushra staying in was dumb as fuck(I know not all her votes necessarily go to Kat) and there was no incumbent so AOC's rule of not endorsing wouldn't apply here. Her supporting Kat early would have helped. The person in the other race Bernie did back is getting hosed though. All that said I read that progressives are having a good night in the state house. Fine not winning is good.

We're cooked in the short term for sure, but Israel and the politicians who support them are cooked long term. The next generation will not support them, full stop.

I hope Kat has a long political future. She's wonderful and fortunately, she's young.

AIPAC congratulates County Commissioner Donna Miller on her victory tonight over Robert Peters, whose campaign focused on undermining the U.S.-Israel relationship and disparaging the millions of Americans who support it. Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!

They just brag.

This is BS too because they're campaigns never talk about Israel. This is well known about AIPAC. They support pro-Israel people but their ad spend never talks about Israel. This is the same thing with thier shell PACs too. So them framing thier candidate winning because of being pro-Israel is nonsense.

This article from today. Actually fucked.

Damn, that's disappointing to see Kat behind. I hope she'll keep trying in the future. She did a lot of good over the last couple years being a more prominent figure to bring light to social causes. I really think there's room for growth here and she can bounce back stronger.

The fact that AIPAC spent all that money to get her to lose shows how influential she is.

AIPAC wins again.

This is giving in to AIPACs spin. They wanted someone completely different and were running ads against the guy who won to get her. Abighazaleh's strength in the race forced them to basically back out on that for fear of throwing it to her, and to act like actually they've won because they "stopped" her. Don't give them the win

AIPAC spent like 2 mil directly against Biss…

This made me think back to Mamdani's race and me wonder if Kat could have won if it was ranked choice voting.

Why does the left cannibalise themselves like this? Kat is objectively the better candidate, but because she supports Ukraine's right to not get genocided or Taiwan for that matter, some have taken her down

 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Well, first, it's hard to break into a district that she doesn't live in. She carpetbagged into this district (when she initially jumped in to challenge Schakowsky). There didn't seem to be much outreach from her and her campaign. I don't think the people that live in north Chicago and suburbs care about Mark Ruffalo's endorsement. I get that AIPAC sucks but there was no other reason for people to vote for her. Mejia won in NJ-11 because she had ties to the community.

Yeah I didn't realize she wasn't from that district. That can really sit poorly with a lot of voters even for good candidates.

Not just that. She still doesn't live in the district afaik and has only lived in the state of Illinois for like a year.

Good good. I don't have a lot of faith in Denis Villenueve when it comes to women, espeically in his extremely men centered films but Dune: Part Two deliberately deviated from the source material to give Chani a chance to be more.

Off the top of my head...

Dune 1 & 2 - Rebecca Ferguson has a major focus in both movies, not to mention Zendaya/Florence Pugh/Lea Seydoux all playing intelligent characters as befitting the world of Dune
Arrival - Amy Adams is the protagonist and I'm pretty sure this movie passes the bechdel test
Sicario - Emily Blunt is a good unconventional protagonist
Blade Runner 2049 - Movie's antagonist is female and Ana de Armas' character is an unconventional and very well done love interest 

Princess Bubblegum is an actual fucking moron. He will never understand that attacking men does not make him seem more ladylike.

[Daffy Duck]

Nah, I can’t do it with these people anymore, they ain’t real…

How is it not enough. Literally just go play a porn games until your your eyes roll out of your head and never upset an actual woman with your presence if Grace Ashcroft is not enough of a fragile little aryan bird. There's no helping you. I can't believe I even have to defend Grace's original design now.

People need to stop saying this. Bushra has every right to run in a district she's born in and she has been a long time activist here.

No. She doesn't. She has the right to sit down and shut up and listen to the vanguard leadership. Unless ranked choice voting is available Bushra is only actively hurting the community she "champions"*.

Y'all, if you want to be real, attempting to "fight" capitalism from within the system is not going to work so all of this is pointless anyway. So long as the system is based in capitalism nothing will change unless there is real revolution. But y'all ain't ready to talk about that.

*laughable

Democratic Socialist? That's what we call an oxymoron.

Tom Nicholas just dropped this, so maybe I should watch the documentary first and then check his reaction:

Guy is such a fucking weirdo! Always waits for people to give him his thoughts then will no doubt parrot it as his own view.

That first guy - HSTikkytocky - how the fuck does he have so many views or is so popular? He's certainly several screws loose mentally. I can see why individuals like Andrew Tate and Sneako are popular amongst young men, but the former is a raging hypocrite and appears to be a dickhead of the highest order.

Just like Tate & Co, you will actually find the algorithm will suck someobody in with solid advise or "fun" content, but then the layers get pulled back and that's when the true indoctrination starts. I'm sure many of us have watched some youtibe videos casually and then things start to creep in that raise suspicion and eventually alarm bells.

No, never.

See, I'm trying to find humor in the situation. Like, Capcom fumbling the rollout of a character they once hyped as the new protagonist of Street Fighter so hard should be fucking hilarious, but every so often, someone comes outta the wordwork to tell us that they don't see the problem with knocking up your sistercousin and what's left of my faith in humanity drains a little out the corner of the my mouth.

I still found the whole situation hilarious.

Prisoners - Shows that women can be strong serial killers too!!!

Is Bubblegum mistaking him for someone else?
