Source and numbers are needed that it directly affected this. It's possible a few NWS/NOAA guys that watched southwest Texas storm patterns were laid off right in time for this, but really? C'mon.
Here is a link of all the budget cuts to the NOAA that happened this year done by DOGE.


The current admin wants to do more this year but with this flash flood I think its going to be a TACO move.
 
AI is a yes man. It will always do its best to agree with you unless you ask it something that it either is programmed to say no to, or if it’s something utterly retarded. If you’re using it to back up your points you’ve lost the argument.
Unfortunaly it seems AI is turning into a triablistic yes man thing, but so are humans in general so it'll end up probably being the same biases to their beholden. It won't take much to tweek Grok to give a slightly more tuned favorable response to change a lot of minds.

ETA: Gay @BlackDragoons, can't direct that to this stuff. And it still doesn't say anything needful cuts. You should know better than to cite gov studies on how their gov pals and selves are cut. Need results, and you'll have to prove this was a result of the cuts.

"The agency didn't say how many jobs would be posted and refused to provide more details." Lots of that going on. And "AP is solely responsible for all content." Quoting AP...

I'm drunk, plus I'm not your fucking researcher. You can google this shit.

Depends on the AI, I sometimes argue with Google Gemini when I am bored and it would usually give me a response of "That is a good point but... [insert counter opinions or point out issues with my argument]" I am usually taking a more conservative stance, so IDK if it would be as prone to debate when taking a liberal stance.

Edit: Did a quick test and the "Yes or no?" part of the question forced Gemini to provide a heavily biased libshit answer blaming the cuts for everything while removing it had it answer in a way that is more about explaining the controversy about the tragedy rather than explicitly blaming the cuts on it.

AI can be yes men, but when you prompt your questions like that you are fishing for a yes man answer.

I was something of a mover and shaker in the goth/industrial scene in my hometown in the 90’s and I met several VERY attractive black alt girls at the time.

It was actually one of the things that opened my eyes to the impact of culture on individuals, because these girls were basically café au lait goth girls
tfw you're a Goth and you can't be pale...

It’s horrifying that the average retard on the street thinks that AI is some godlike entity that only tells the truth. More so when trash like Grok is laughably obviously programmed for bias.

It is good answering some things, it's better than reddit because it collasces so many posts into a reasonble thing. Ask it 'what Echo devices support WPA3?' and it's solid.

Otherwise when it comes to non-fact opinions they're the same as reddit or wiki, biased by the inputters that run it. Grok will surely be saying MAGA's got more and more issues soon.
 
Is anyone else here just kinda... scared? Like it doesn't seem things will get better in the slighest. I'm scared and ashamed of what my country is doing but I am powerless to stop it.
Yes I'm exactly the same way and I'm terrified. Nothing will ever get better and it's all one downward spiral into total nuclear annihilation. I'm too much of a pussy to kill myself but you should do it for the both of us.

There are a million factors that warp your perception when you hang out online. The Internet is the ultimate in gas-lighting. Online, during Covid, it seemed I was one of a small handful of people who didn't accept the narrative. When I stepped outside and talked to people, the majority thought the same way I did. And the people who did go along with the narrative well on the whole, they honestly weren't that nice. Ditto many other things.

The entire system is designed to make you not act. You're not powerless, and you're probably not a minority in your beliefs either. They just want everybody thinking that they are.
 
Tucker Carlson is a joke. He seems to believe the leftist myth that if big mean America stayed out of everyone’s business, the whole world would be peaceful. That is an embarrassingly stupid position
The idea isn't that the whole world will be more peaceful if America stayed out of everyone's business as much as America itself will be more peaceful and more importantly, America would be more healthy and rich if we stayed out of foreign wars and affairs. It's a very simple concept.
 
Oh good, if this happens they should get negative votes with how disgusting Ching Chong is.
It literally would have saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars if they tied her tubes after her first out of wedlock child instead of letting her birth 7 kids with missing fathers.
We need mandated tubal litigation for all skanky single mothers instead of letting them run wild birthing new kids that they'll never be able to feed themselves.

Her Tiktok account is beyond parody! She's an unemployed single mother of 7 bragging about all the free junk food and free gibs she got from the taxpayers. /pol/ couldn't make a better stereotype of a sheboon than she's doing right now
And speaking of disgusting. In any sane society, this creatures would be made capital examples of.
 
To be fair this thread can be kind of a conservative hugbox, but most of the people you’re talking about come in here with the intention of starting shit by smugly saying something to the effect of “wow, I can’t believe you voted for a candidate who wants to LITERALLY KILL YOU!” before acting like everyone else is retarded for not immediately agreeing with them because of their le epic takedown.

Also they’re going into a thread full of posts they know will upset them, and then they’re shocked when they’re upset.
Libs can't handle even the existence of spaces that aren't theirs because they don't actually know anything, and finding things out causes them extreme cognitive dissonance. About the only thing they have anymore is arguing that socialized medicine would be better. There's some actual opinion there (they're still wrong), but it's the one area of politics where the entire subject isn't governed by incontrovertible facts that they are simply wrong about from both a high-level view and in minute detail (though they are usually wrong about the facts there, too, like wait times and quality of care in the UK).

Just look at two things that came up in this thread that libtards all across social media are repeating. One is there were no extreme weather deaths in Texas from 2021-2024. That was easy to disprove. In fact, Texas hit a record for heat deaths, and there were some pretty bad storm-related casualties, too (Mother Nature hates Texas). Next was libtards claiming Medicaid funds don't get spent on Medicaid illegals (typo). Oops, turns out liberal state medical programs like Medi-Cal and the Oregon Health Plan admit illegals and receive most of their funds from Medicaid.

Anyone who is a lib in 2025 by necessity is repeating lies from trusted sources, because every single thing left-wing media and politicians say about everything that matters is 100% diametrically opposite from the truth. No, the "Maryland man" wasn't here legally. Yes, he was a gangster and criminal. No, COVID-19 wasn't super deadly. No, the vaccine wasn't safe. Yes, it did leak from a lab. No, black neighborhoods aren't "overpoliced." Yes, they do commit a lot of crime. Yes, illegals commit a lot of crime, too. Yes, they do rely on Medicaid funds for their health care. No, the weather doesn't change when a Republican takes office. No, there is no "LGBTQ-Muslim alliance." No, gay men aren't healthy. Yes, trannies really are 40x more likely to be sex criminals. On and on and on.

Even observing a right-wing space from afar inflicts one hateful fact after another on the lib's psyche, which causes him extreme mental distress. Either he is a dupe who is constantly being lied to by people he trusts, or...or...best to just demand the space be closed down for "hate speech" so he doesn't have to keep being confronted with facts.
