  • It’s not harm reduction if it results in the worse outcome.

    The answer if what to do was to, was to stop focusing the criticism on those who said a genocide is a bridge to far, and our that ire into the Democratic party, demanding they shift their position.

    The answer was to listen, and support and acknowledge the importance of people saying, As early as March of 2024, that Biden wasn’t going to win and we needed something more than a sham primary.

    The answer was, when Kamala got the nomination, to create enough of an uproar regarding their dismissal of the Gazan delegates at the convention that they would know and understand that it was a significant problem.

    What was being engaged in was not harm reduction when it directly contributed to the worst possible outcome. The silencing of dissent. The being told to shut the fuck up and cute blue no matter who by Blue MAGA: it was all over this place under the pretense of harm reduction; and it was the very thing that lost them the election.

    They threw this election and abandoned their base for the “harm reduction” if the lessor evil, as if Republicans voters were going to vote for Diet Evil when they had full strength evil at home.





  • The extraordinary cowardice of this party should be highlighted in the context of the persistent and belligerent calls to carry water for this party, or else, over the previous 25 years of politics.

    They sacrificed freedom of speech on college campuses to lose an election on behalf of a genocidal ethnostate and the “good” billionaires. If you were (and many of you were) telling people that they “had to support Democrats, or else”, the current state of the nation is a direct result of your actions. Democrats have put most of their effort into creating a narrative landscape within which they escape accountability. Its a magical world where the leaders of the Democratic party are persistently and perpetually without agency; a party which can make nothing happen, but to whom which everything happens to: A party and a leadership which has never themselves fail, and is only failed.

    The state of this shit parade is 100% on the shoulders of Democrats and their Aquarian cowards and sycophants who belligerently asked a nation to support a genocide instead of demanding the Democratic candidate actually adopt an electable position. Who asked a generation to give up on climate change to get, as long as the parliamentarian approves, a half of a half of a half of what was discussed. Who silenced and rejected the involvement of the youth in the participatory process of Democracy.


  • Yeah finally watched the review. Weird, but also, this is actually a really exciting chip.

    If you do any kind of work with ml, this might just about be your only option for breaking 16gb vram, which is the floor for many models. Very few of us ever even get to experiment with something above 40. With these, you could take it to 128, and it seems, at a pretty price competitive standpoint.

    I’m looking at it pretty seriously, because I was really excited about these chips, but almost completely disinterested in them as far as a laptop chip. But for a desktop chip? I mean if its at 128gb vram, the fuck else can I ask for?

    I’m also super interested in that 2:1. For mobile computing thats pretty much my go-to these days, is a thin and light 2:1 that I just use to get access to where-ever my compute is actually happening.
