Used to be that China was on par in that regard say... 10? 15 years ago? I remember seeing a comparison, it was more neck at neck, but I think they reduced it and the US massively increased it, so it's high but not US high.

Similarly something about military spending; same US ballooning in the past few decades.

They also animated each one in a strange uncompressed video format instead of using effects over them. They are not optional, even though 95% are from optional dlcs you don't own.

Until you hit knew high, then you're giving off an entirely different vibe.

That actually sounds more like rehab, which is a possibility. Kind of hard to keep these this hidden, though.

If you're a therapist treating a guy like this, how do you maintain your professionalism when you so want to undermine his treatment?

Aha, atheists also say "God damn" and "Jesus fucking Christ" and "Good Lord you're a fucking moron, how did you even get in here" a lot. Checkmate, atheists! /s

I don't think the truth is going to factor in, but my father has been outsourcing his thinking to Gemini lately and in that case it's fairly straightforward: they have a profile on him as a moderate Democrat, so it suggests anyone with that tag. It likely isn't going to fact check that tags, though.

But back to truth: it will pull top search results which very much can be gamed, just like pre-LLM days. That means a false story pushed on a candidate is popular, it'll default to that and could mislead a voter. That, and of course whatever weights the owner of that LLM sets (although, that is much more subtle than other commenters let on; a weight generally isn't absolutely, it simply tips things so like, Democratic Socialists won't magically get recommended MAGA but conservative independents will based on higher values set to conservative tags like immigration views).

Meh. Lost me at the boys. I like to be alone with my RPGs and Minecraft (always have been, always will be).

Yes, which we call soft power. It's generally very beneficial, which is exactly why US gutted USAID because they literally can't do anything right.

Few million in infrastructure aid pays out huge with soft power.

I don't care; I heard the orange man is to give out the trophy and man it'd be great if Mexico won.

While it's indeed fake, the satire was fun. It notes that whenever you see a Let's Go Brandon bumper sticker, it's in regards to this very famous gay porn star. Same with the chants. Those guys were just big fans of gay porn, y'know.

Hey, they were in a rush. Your situations are different.
