This is the NTIF weekend; but CINC has other plans, so no Irish music and food at Fair Park in Dallas for me…
Hope all if you have a blessed weekend. Even the ‘bots.
Keeping all that hate inside will only accelerate any cancers in your bodies. You need to lighten up, learn to love your neighbor (agape more than eros), and find ways to help others be successful.
Hating someone is very much like drinking a strong acid and hoping it with hurt someone else. It’s unhealthy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
“Just say no” to hate.
In fact, you can start by saying nice things about South Korea right now!
For example, I would say, “South Korea is a great place for foreigners to visit, with warm people, beautiful scenery, modern cities, rich cultural history, and delicious and healthy foods like golbangi-mulchim, japchae, and kimchi.”
Now you try. Say something nice about South Korea. You can if you try…
I am absolutely in favor of students doing this. People who rely on so-called “artificial intelligence” instead of developing their own are easier to weed out of job interviews and send packing.
That’s job security for old fogies like me… And I want those unimaginative youngsters out there returning the shopping carts to Walmart and mopping public restrooms at Buccee’s and Love’s truck stops.
At least until they’re replaced by robots… who, when they complain about losing even those low-level jobs, will bluntly reply:

Setnaffa, I respectfully disagree.
The relationship between people and information is changing. It is a positive and productive change for those who embrace it.
The old-timers who combine their experience with the new tools coming into existence will be very powerful.
In the past, success required acquiring and storing knowledge… training and libraries along with memorization and keeping references, from notes to textbooks.
The internet replaced that. We all have unlimited knowledge at our fingertips. As the internet has evolved, that knowledge has gone from simple facts to entire systems.
The skillset required to succeed has moved from collecting information as its foundation to organizing, searching, and applying information.
The ability to set a goal, break it down into a chain of smaller managable goals, and then create small programs to achieve each goal, is now the way to get things done. The most clever make their chain of goals align with procedures that can easily be found on the internet… so few new procedures actually have to be made.
We are now entering a new era.
Information is unlimited. Complex procedures to acieve goals will be formulated by Ai based off of this information.
So the new skill to develop is setting the correct goals… like a giant game of chess where everyone has the same pieces with the same moves.
This is already being done… as large organizations and the rich and powerful have long had the ability to process information, devise procedures, and set the correct goals with a large staff of experts that you as an individual could never replicate.
Except now you can.
And you will be able to until those in control feel their control is threatened and begin to cripple any tool you could use to challenge them…
…as we have seen with manipulated search results, social media, etc.
But there is a little window here to succeed beyond your dreams.
Hope this made sense… a bit off the top of my head as I rush to make a social obligation.
If anyone is interested, I can discuss this in much more detail.

You know, it’s amazing what NATO is expecting South Korea to do something that itself can’t do and has failed miserably to do. NATO and US heads, with their caps in their hands, visited South Korea to beg for bullets, missiles, and tanks.
I can only imagine that Ukraine’s fate now lies in the hands of South Korea, as the longer this war goes on, the worse off Ukraine will be because they totally rely on outside help, while Russia can continue to plow through.
But the question is why this administration has failed to leverage this advantage card South Korea holds in its hands, to provide what South Korea needs and wants. They should be clobbering the West with a, “these are what we want in return for help to Ukraine”. This leadership is an utter failure in its incompetence. And I’m not just pointing at Yoon’s party. This has been the case all throughout the last few years. After all, how many countries have in their hands, critical production technologies in semiconductors, batteries, nuclear, defense, LNG carriers, communication, the list goes on…. all the cards that South Korea holds, frittered away and given away for free to America’s benefits and America’s own hegemonic goals. The problem isn’t just America. It’s South Korea’s lack of confidence and gross underestimation of itself as a “shrimp amongst whales”. This weakling thought process has to change someday. It’s a self-inflicted sickness that brings exactly the same results that the country itself expects and gets.
Why must you denigrate South Korea? This is an opportunity to put people and factories back to work and strengthen the RoK’s economy.
Instead, you want to make it something negative.
You scored another own goal chinabot.
But have a beautiful weekend anyway.

CH, we may disagree on the paint job and the chrome; but we recognize value in the same engine.
Fact is, young minds aren’t born with the ability to correlate and interpret data. Heck, most kids have trouble counting back change. And the so-called “AI” features out there are still traps for the unwary.
My boss doesn’t care about his employee’s politics as long as they don’t disturb the office with them. But he does care about whether we can code effectively, address performance issues, and deliver a healthy test environment for our customers.
Can’t do any of that with the current AIs. So I figure I’ll be relatively safe until 2038… long after I’m retired and living in a “pension” cottage near Mokpo or whatever.

For three straight years, a young chinabot had been taking his brief vacations at the same country inn, once per year.
During his last visit, he’d finally managed to seduce the innkeeper’s gorgeous daughter, so he couldn’t wait to go there again.
Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!
“Mei-Mei, why didn’t you write when you learned you were pregnant?” he cried.
“I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!”
“Well,” she said, “when my folks found out about us and that I was pregnant, we sat up all night talking and talking and decided it would be better to have a bastard in the family than a chinabot.”

Street protests in Israel, against the dictatorial Israel president NethanYAHOO – another example of yet another US puppet that is undermining democracy with new anti-democratic laws that are silently supported by the White House (as long as the they support US interests). Israel’s first lady is acting just like Korea’s first lady – both highly corrupt.
Interesting how the narrative has shifted.
I spent over a decade as a moderator on an international political debate forum, and back then the vast majority of liberals asserted the US was an Israel puppet. Lot has changed it would seem.

@Liz, the protests are identical. They’re funded by communists and islamists who are trying to divide any and all allies against their aggression.
And after their success over the wars in Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, etc.), they just keep feeding the gullible leftist news orgs. The latter, stuffed with Narcissists loaded down with guilty consciences over their own real or perceived sins, gladly use Freudian Projection to try to buy a form of absolution. That they are unsuccessful is shown in their hatred of everyone and everything good.
Trump, for all his missteps, scored the winning goal when he unmasked them; but, like the false wizard in Oz, they were there since at least 1916.

This is why Made In America is such a bad idea. Americans cannot make anything with quality, as this Ford Bronco fiasco shows.
It’s not just trucks. You can also add F-35 jets that fall off the sky due to engine problems. The US production problems make Made-In China look like they’re a fine example of world-class quality products. This is going to be funny to watch soon since the US wants to bring home all the productions from overseas and make everything 100% made-in-America crap.
If you misgender me, or mis-anything me, you run the risk of getting knifed.

Is anybody keeping up on the leaked communications where the UK health minister asked when to “deploy the new varient”?
“Isabel Oakeshott is a journalist and critic of pandemic containment policies who was unaccountably hired by disgraced former UK health minister Matt Hancock to write the Pandemic Diaries: The Inside Story of Britain’s Battle Against Covid. Hancock hoped that this exercise in autohagiography would rehabilitate his reputation after revelations of an extramarital affair forced him out of office. The joke, it turns out, is on him. Apparently, he gave Oakeshott an archive of over 100,000 WhatsApp messages to assist in her writing. She’s now leaked that archive to the Telegraph, who are gleefully and selectively publishing them in an ongoing series they call The Lockdown Files.”
This guy was the one demanding lockdowns for everyone else while he was out and about with his mistress.
Anyway, the excuse is that he didn’t actually mean releasing a new varient of covid. He simply meant hyping up a new varient to scare the population into compliance with senseless demands.
I contend that it doesn’t matter.
Lying to create fake fear over a fake threat over a mostly harmless virus to frighten people into unnecessarily giving up their prosparity and freedom is essentially the same as releasing an actual new strain… and it represents the same level of premeditated malice…
…especially as it was done to further political and financial agendas and had no expectation of affecting the spread of covid.
The people who were tricked into all of the disadvantages of the last 3 years should be really, really angry.

The JSF (aka F35) is not a “made in America” product.
That’s one of the reasons Congress approved it, and shut down the F22 pipeline…it was exportable.
And to make an exportable product and get lots of countries on board, they contracted out the parts to lots of other countries.
(this is how contractors are able to own Congress too, by making parts in all the key districts so everyone has a vested interest…seems to work for countries as well).

Why must you denigrate South Korea?
The ones that are denigrating South Korea, are setnaffa and his Setnaffarists, who come to this site to spread lies, fake news, and conspiracy theories.
It was not so long ago, that they demeaned the families of the people who died in the Itaewon Tragedy and tried to start a conspiracy theory that it was an attempt to have their beloved Yoon impeached.
Setnaffa and his sockpuppet Chicken Head himself even called for South Korea to stop developing LSAM in favor of a second THAAD battery(which isn’t available) and even called South Korea to import more coal from Russia to make it weaker and dependent on foreign powers.
The Koreans of the ROK Drop are the ones who truly care about Korea not some supposedly white guy from Texas who claims he has a Korean wife but does not know anything about Korea and looks and sounds like a Russian bot.

Korea Person,
Don’t lump me in with my sock puppet.
My position is clear.
Korea needs to take the best deal possible for its defense needs. That consideration is far more complex than it may seem at first. Of course, cost and utility should be considered… but also intangibles, such as knowledge and training on successful foreign systems.
If another THAAD battery is the best deal, then do it.
At the same time, Korea should be working to become a global supplier of affordable yet high quality military equipment, just as has been done with TVs and cars.
My intuition tells me right now, it is far more economical and advantagious to work with successful American systems while letting America pay for a share of the defense expense because it furthers American goals which aren’t against Korea.
But I am no expert.
I you would like to provide an alternative opinion or a better pathway to success, kindly tell us.

A lot of smart people were tricked by a very large and clever cabal of corporations, politicians, fake experts, media, and social media… as well as repitition and peer pressure from the 50% of the population on the double digit side of the bell curve who can be led into anything.
Unless you are willing to put a lot of time into doing your own original research, it is hard to get past a false message that is hitting you over and over from all sides.
It is now starting to be obvious that every aspect of the corona response was corrupt, based off of ever-changing lies, and designed to cause harm.
Even not-so-bright people are recognizing this.
So the standard of judgement has evolved.
It isnt that someone was played. Lots of good and smart people were played.
Now the question is if people will address it. Will they admit (especially to themselves) they were played, will they discuss this with others instead of pretending it didn’t happen, and will they commit to it never happening again?
These are actions which separate people from something less than people.

The Setnaffarist leader has always said that he has “friends” in South Korea who needs to be “protected”.
And he believes the only one who can do that for him is a President from the PPP.
Because a PPP President will ensure that the USFK remain in Korea forever.
Setnaffa does not trust the South Korean Armed Forces to “protect” his “friends” and only trusts the USFK to do that for him.
So it is in his interest that a PPP President be elected and stays in power, and it does not matter whether that President is corrupt and incompetent and his policies hurt the average Korean.
As long as the President does whatever he can to have the USFK remain in Korea.
Not unlike the US policy towards the the Shah of Iran, which I might add resulted in Khomeini.
@Flyingsword, I don’t know what I am supposed to be apologizing for. I never supported the mandates, but supported people getting the vaccines if that was their choice. I was also not a fan of the lockdowns especially when it was locking kids out of schools. The damage done to kids from being locked out of school I believe is still being felt in schools today. As far as the lab leak I was making people aware of the lab leak early on in the pandemic back when it was “conspiracy theory” to bring it up. Now most people have come around to the likelihood it was a lab leak.
