>The Americans are threatening

Why don’t all countries just acquire nuclear weapons? If sufficient numbers of countries take this step then all threats of sanctions from non-compliance lose their significance. Israel already set the precedent by showing how nuclear weapons inspections and the sanctions tied to them have no meaning.

First one should build a large stockpile of nerve agents and genetically modified biological weapons so that deterrence remains in effect while the bombs are being built. Olympic pools of VX being pumped to cheap drones with spray tanks would be enough since the poison will remain in the terrain as microscopic droplets for months thus neutralizing enemy population centers even if the vast majority of launches are intercepted.

We underestimate the impact of WW2 on the continent. It wiped out a generation of men, destroyed their empires, and made them subservient to the US or USSR. In some ways Europe has essentially been coasting on the societal wealth accumulated pre-1914.

Europe hasn't even created a top-ten company this century. Their only trillion dollar company is a luxury conglomerate that sells Cognac and Hermes bags. It's only growth for 30 years has come from rebuilding the countries behind the Iron Curtain, living standards have essentially been flat otherwise. It's a pathologically fucked place in a lot of ways, and that's before importing the cultural suicide that was birthed on American college campuses (sorry for that one).

And people wonder why the U.S. is maybe trying to uncouple from the continent. I'd like them to be doing well, but the outlook is real fucking grim, and I'm not sure I can tether the fate of my countrymen to European societies, however harsh that may seem.

It’s hard to be an empire when your nation is losing its native population to aging and lack of births and the only immigrants are hostile to your culture.

The US is able to bypass this to some degree because the USA is not a nation-state in the traditional meaning of the term, it’s pretty much a post-national economic zone with a set of rules slapped on.

But Europe still is nation-states, and these nation-states feel the duty to provide for their aging citizens who won’t make babies, so their economy stagnates and they don’t assimilate the newcomers.

Australians are living too good a life to want to invade your shithole, which means you will probably invade Aus in your hypothetical, which will probably mean you will be deleted from your islands via tactical nuclear weapons due to Aus being the main resource hub for not only Indonesia but the entire world.

You don't attack the country sending you the iron ore needed to build your military.

Given that you believe in stupid prophesies you are probably dumb enough to believe this superpower cope though.

How are they still in business? shotgun sales are in the shitter and even if they do sell someone a shotgun, how many shotguns do people buy in their life time?

they sell handguns? have you ever seen someone with a mossberg handgun?
Henry's another one. Are there really that many people buying lever actions and single shot break actions? It's even worse than car companies because guns are cheaper than cars and .22s and hunting guns last basically forever

>shotgun sales are in the shitter, retard. so bad no one stepped up to fill in for remingshit and they're trying to sell meme shotguns
You keep bringing up Remington, but Remington failed at everything. Not only had they cheapened their 870 design until their most loyal fans abandoned them, but they couldn't make a good handgun or rifle either (remember the RP9 controversy with the slide stop, the R51 controversy because they could barely get through 1 full mag and were falling apart after a very small round count, the Remington 700 controversy where they had to voluntarily upgrade everyone's bolt gun because they were firing without the trigger being pulled?). You'd know this if you lived in the country you claim to live in.
>>
>>64753974
I'm an American, you troon. remingshit and marlin got bought by Romney when they had terrible hunting gun sales. and then he shat them up.
I'm saying no company has tried to replace the 870 even after all these years. so there must not be a market for henry or ruger to want to get into and savage pumps are imported turkshit. like you
>>
>>64753984
>I'm saying no company has tried to replace the 870 even after all these years.
Successful gun companies don't have to penetrate that segment of the market. Mossberg has the shotgun market in the US on lockdown, and Benelli and Beretta are ahead in the European market but are slowly losing ground to the Turkshit (not because Turkshit is better, but because they are so cheap that they tempt people who don't know any better).

>He doesn't know how to read a graph
This is called a compound line graph, anon. You can recognise it by the shaded area between each line. It's different from a regular line graph. There's no overlap. So for example, in 1993(?) on the graph in question, when the total amount of firearms manufactured was about 5,000,000, pistols and revolvers together made up about half of that (2,500,000), while shotguns and rifles were each about a quarter (1,250,000). With this, consider how skinny the green line is for shotguns compared to the rest of the graph in recent years.

The best optic on the market for PDWs. No worries about the lasers’ height over your thumb since it’s being mounted just behind the muzzle. It can be improved/better optimized for PDWs if they incorporated a white light into it, so you don’t have to stick a giant flashlight on the side of the gun.

Edit: was gonna delete my post once I realized this thread is not about the AEMS with the integrated lasers, but I’m gonna post it anyways. Picrel is the new AEMS I’m referencing.

You've already had plenty of people tell you you're a dumbass for being too casual but honestly anon I'm genuinely sorry for you, the EEEEee fucking sucks. It's not completely impossible that it may go away this year still, assuming you're religious about minimizing exposure and didn't have too much building up to this incident, but yeah after months the odds are lower.

Fwiw, there is serious R&D into it going on, and there are cutting edge experimental treatments getting investigated. Big one is bimodal neuromodulation, but using cochlear implants is also apparently helpful in specific cases (dunno if yours works or not), various forms of transcranial stimulation, and there is ongoing work last I checked on neurotrophins use to repair nerve damage. Because all of this is really new and experimental you might have to really hunt around to find anyone who knows about it right now, and dunno if any studies have openings or whatever. But just maybe a small note of optimism is that there is a lot of research going on for hearing stuff and next decade might bring some big breakthroughs or at least some measure of relief.

Good luck anon.

I already had tinnitus before this incident, it was just mostly ignorable
now it's basically not ignorable at all, and I'm someone who really likes being alone and in silence so it's just gotten worse and worse
I'm still popping my ears trying to make it go away on impulse

I did go to an ENT but I couldn't see him until a month after the incident and he basically threw his hands up and said my hearing test was normal, there's apparently some other things I could do but it all sounds like a waste of time or quackery besides getting a hearing aid which I don't want and would be I'm guessing extremely expensive and not covered by insurance

I'm not casual about the damn thing I just forgot to lower the fucking loading port one time and happened to be in a small room which probably made it a lot worse
All I wanted to do was pop some pinecones in the fucking yard from my bedroom and now I just wanna die
The only reason I even forgot to do it in the first place is because I was deliberately trying to be careful and not accidentally ventilate my ceiling

You seem to misunderstand, AI as we know it isn’t “emulating what humans do” or even really learning. We give it a data set, let it create a series of correlations, then let it loose. Even LLMs are just a series of correlations on syntax and it can only replicate what has been fed in to it. It didn’t learn anything, it just used statistics to figure out the best way to correlate the millions of objects you gave it. We’ve seen more success with smaller, more niche models than the generalization that major models are trying to push. Same with coding: it’s pulling from really shitty repositories filled with jeet code that is a copy of other horrendous jeet code, with a sprinkling of good content. It’s ability to generate actual good, working code unless it is tailor fed a smaller, reviewed, and professional code set it’s going to pump out shit.

This doesn’t even start to mention security concerns, testing issues, actually knowing how they work, consistency issues (generates a different output for the same question each time) or how it’s being wielded by the biggest retards by society publicly. A good example is AlphaFold in the biochemistry: it can make predictions but it hasn’t really solved anything, only streamlined the process. We still need a human at the end of the work chain because AI can’t be trusted to give a consistent and accurate answer reliably. For fuck’s sake, it can’t even solve PhD physics problems, it gets confused over symbology.

Has it made things easier for certain fields? Yes, but proper professionals aren’t using it as a human replacement tool. Let’s not even mention how LLMs have had the “throw more compute at it” dead end and scaling is seeing diminishing returns rapidly.
>>
>>64725656
>This isn't really correct. While certain areas of the brain do have increased work in certain tasks, virtually all functions occur via wide neuronal networks; individual sections are not "small brains" or self contained.

We know that the brain is composed of specialized sub brains because we have plenty of data from people with localized brain damage. And these sub brains are part of a very complex multidimensional lattice that forms a central gestalt aka you. LLMs are crude constructs comparable to insect brains, but much larger. From the fossil record we know that large brains are exceptionally hard to develop. This is hardly surprising, since you need to mutate several genes to get a larger brain that actually works. And that is just size, nobody understands how brain structure can evolve because this is far far more complex that just making something larger. And we have no clue how that works. If we had, we could turbo accelerate the evolution of machine intelligence and get actual, real working intelligence. So this LLM stuff is just snake oil, a get rich quick scheme riding on boomer fears of missing out.

So, in evolutionary terms, our LLMs are comparable to the creatures of the cambrian explosion. That was like 600 million years ago. And during most of the history of life on Earth, animals had tiny simple brains. It was not until very recently that animals with large brains evolved into being.
