Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she’s leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

“Write your system prompt in English” also works

just ask for the output to be reversed or transposed in some way

you’d also probably end up restrictive enough that people could work out what the prompt was by what you’re not allowed to say

Without technology prepared to counter teleporters

like the shields all the ships in starwars have?

a supernova is caused by nuclear fusion

teleporters don’t work through shields

other elections, primaries

but those are both votes

ideally, yeah, if you wanted to exercise pressure on the biden administration, you wouldn’t withhold your vote in this specific election, but those “other elections” have already passed

you could vote differently for the house and senate, but arguably that might actually lead to a worse outcome

donations

if you’re very rich, then maybe, but most people aren’t

general social pressure

general social pressure means very little without votes to back it up

sanders has a tidal wave of social pressure behind him, but then lost the primary, so nothing changed

it’s why every time a politician tries to campaign for young voters, they crash and burn, because while young voters often inflict the most social pressure, they never actually go and vote

The alternative is to abstain or vote for someone with no chance

the point isn’t to vote for the person to get them into office

the point is to vote for the person whose policies you prefer, so that you shift the other candidates closer to that position

yeah, 4 years of a very bad candidate is worse than 4 years of a meh candidate, but if you vote that way forever your candidate will never be anything more than meh

appoint three SCOTUS justices, irreversibly damage the environment, and pass voting “reform” to lessen the impact of your future votes

if you think this outweighs the benefit of improving the democrat position going forward, and that’s a perfectly reasonable position to have, then sure vote for them

but don’t act like you never had any choice in the matter, or that voting for somebody else would be meaningless

if you think voting for biden this time is more important, then by all means do that

just understand the choice you’re making, rather than pretending one doesn’t exist

Biden has taken months to stop veto-ing UN votes on Gaza, and even when finally abstaining, his administration pulls its punches by claiming the vote is somehow “non-binding”.

Israel is still bombing Gaza, even after the ceasefire vote.

Biden says he cares about Gaza. His actions say otherwise.

3rd parties aren’t viable

this is just a misconception

if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they’re going to modify their policies next time around

if you think voting for biden this time is more important, then by all means do that

just understand the choice you’re making, rather than pretending one doesn’t exist

why on earth would any party listen to what you have to say if you preface everything you’re campaigning for with “by the way, i’m still going to vote for you”

your vote is all they want in this scenario

it would be like opening a negotiation with “by the way, i’m absolutely going to pay whatever price you think is fair at the end of this, but i’d like you to consider giving me a discount anyway”

vote for the person you like the most

voting for the democrats come hell or high water is how you end up with two candidates nobody wants to vote for

Not voting isn’t going to stop the genocide in Gaza.

maybe it will stop the next one though

if democrats learn that allowing a genocide to unfold on their watch is going to lose them elections, you can bet they’ll put more effort into stopping it

if democrats learn that allowing genocide to unfold on their watch actually doesn’t make that much difference, why would they bother themselves to stop it?

A vote is not an unconditional endorsement

a vote for a candidate is an endorsement for all of their policies, whether you want it to be or not

your reluctant vote looks exactly the same on the tally as somebody else’s wholehearted vote, and votes are what politicians base their platforms on.

If you vote third party you might as well stay home.

this is just a misconception

if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they’re going to modify their policies next time around

is the brain tumor gone or is this a hallucination?

you fool

“these are chatgpt’s recommendations we just provided research to back them up and verify the ai’s work”

they are just not very good at lego

i fucking hate gaming magazines

kbin sweating nervously

it didn’t say avoid

It quite literally says “Not Recommended” for each of them.

I’m not sure how you interpret that as anything other than “avoid”.

At least try and form your own opinions, maybe?

Of the 16 games on the list, 6 of them haven’t even released yet, and the average Steam user rating of those remaining is 78%.

Only two are below “Mostly Positive”, which are Gotham Knights and Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance, both being “Mixed”.
