Almost daily I hear stories of americans moving to Europe scaping the new american policies, and yet, no one call them Refugees. When will start calling them the same way we call other people scaping their governments?

In the 20 years I've been living in Germany, I have heard often that foreigners need to assimilate and integrate. That one should speak German in Germany.
It seems however that does not apply to Germans abroad

That post-credits scene from "Predator: Killer of Killers" just destroyed everything that "PREY" built. It just spoiled both movies for me.

I watched the movie iHostage, and after some research it seems the movie does closely follow the real events.
It makes me chucked then that many of the reviews call it unrealistic: The hostage taker makes to many mistakes and the police response is exesive.
We normalized the lies from hollywood.

I was interested on Colombian acquiring the JAS-39 Gripen, so I found some forums discussing the Colombian armed forces.
What I found is that you cannot be interested in the army/air force unless you are a radical right wing nutcase, and I cannot stop thinking how dangerous that is.

Still fascinated with this whole "rationalists" thing. A bunch of smart, young, influenciable people who got conned into believing that only them could save the world from AI.
Such mix of religion, sci-fi, philosophy, and abstract tech thinking.
Did no-one saw the red flags?

This reads like a dark sci-fi story. It is so weird that having worked and interacted with people working heavily in AI, this is the first time I read about the "rationalists" and their almost cultist views.
