Why wouldn’t he be as dirty as the man mentioned in the redacted Epstein files 38,000 times? Why wouldn’t he be as dirty as the man who is literally running underage sex clubs? Do you know that Mar A Lago still employs 16 year olds as masseuses and cocktail waitresses? That never actually stopped. That’s still going on. Underage girls giving gross old men full body massages. Clinton is a sonofabitch, but there is an ocean of difference between him and Trump.

Shh, there’s no room for rationality here! Obviously the US military, which is the biggest funded military in the world by several degrees, is collapsing because they’re all big, mean, stupid, poo-poo heads and no other reason! Everyone knows the US is minutes away from collapse and absolutely doesn’t have the strength to draw this conflict out for multiple decades despite the trillions of dollars spent to ensure exactly that outcome!

Yes. You’re right. It is usually the case that the people who are acting shitty and dismissing the experiences of a large swath of the population due to their ignorance AREN’T actually the ones who feel bad about it! Good job piecing that together, kiddo!

Got a friend who is way better at tech than I am, he made the switch to Linux about a month ago. Seems like it’s a constant battle between him and his OS. Settings will randomly change with no explanation. Programs will refuse to run. The other day we were playing a game and suddenly his mouse sensitivity shot down to like the lowest setting possible. He didn’t manage to get it fixed until the next day.

Shit like that is what keeps me from moving to Linux. I already get headaches when I have to troubleshoot an obscure issue I have on Windows; combing through dozens of message boards and YouTube videos from years ago with outdated advice or solutions that don’t work. I can just imagine having to do that almost every single day, but having even less resources because there are fewer people using my exact set up and having my exact problem.

Backing into a spot is safer. Not just because you are less likely to hit something on your way out, but because in case of emergency, you are able to get out quickly.

A funny ha ha.

Oh, well then I’m sure no one died at all then and this isn’t just splitting hairs. Right?

“YSK that fruit is healthy. Gushers are not real fruit. It’s trash.”

Absolutely nothing for him. They’ll tie it up in the courts for years until the next guy has to deal with it.

Very clean bathrooms.

Something always bothers me about these kinds of infiltrations. Wild Shape is a relatively low level spell. And while most NPC’s are essentially level 0 with no magic, it should at least be common knowledge in their world that the spell exists and MANY people have access to it.

So why would the guards not be suspicious of an animal? For that matter, why do the guards not have someone constantly using detect magic? Wild Shape is far from the only magic that can be used for infiltration, seems like common sense to constantly scan for magic around an area you are trying to keep secure. I just feel like too often, DMs treat their NPCs, especially guards, as if they have zero knowledge of magic or the world they live in.

By the destruction of the Death Star alone, Luke has a higher kill count than Anakin did at 22, saved the Rebellion, and became a decorated war hero. And Luke did all that in less than a week of getting caught up in events.

Meanwhile Anakin had been building up to that point for years, and was only a General because all Jedi were Generals. Other than becoming a Jedi, it’s not like he did anything specifically to earn that position.

In 1980, John Lennon was shot by a mentally ill man who was convinced to kill Lennon by reading Catcher in the Rye. If he had never read Catcher in the Rye, he most likely wouldn’t have killed John Lennon.

But it is not the fault of Catcher in the Rye. We don’t ban the book, or call the author irresponsible for writing it, because we recognize that the fault lies in the mental illness of the shooter, and that anything could have set him off.

The people who kill themselves because an AI Chatbot told them to are mentally ill. It is their mental illness that killed them, not the chatbot. You can make the claim that if it wasn’t for the chatbot, they wouldn’t have gone through with it, but again, you can say the same thing about Catcher in the Rye. Getting rid of the trigger does not remove the mental illness.

There is a lot to hate about AI. A lot of dangers and valid criticism. But AI chatbots convincing people to kill themselves isn’t a problem with chatbots, it’s a problem with the user.

I get it, grieving families will look for anything and anyone to blame for suicide except the victim, but ultimately, it is the victim who chose to kill themselves. If someone is convinced to kill themselves from something as stupid as an AI chatbot, they really weren’t that far from the edge to begin with.

Paper tags arent as easily damaged.

I’ve gotta wonder… How expensive are these little networked e-ink displays? Probably not super expensive, but they’ve gotta be more than a paper price tag. Definitely more of a hassle to replace when someone breaks them by running into them, accidentally snapping them off, etc…

Bluey.

You might think he was joking, and maybe OP was, but I’m certainly not. Graveyards are a massive waste of space. Respect for the dead is a really fucking weird and pointless thing our society does.

They are dead. Dead. They deserve as much respect as the ground beef you have in your freezer. There is no point in preserving their remains, or laying them in a multi-thousand dollar casket, or having a spot in the ground that will become unusable for other purposes for at least 100 years. They. Are. Fucking. Dead. That’s not them anymore. It’s dead meat. It’s fucking asinine to waste so many acres of land on dead meat.

The fun thing is your statement applies to both the US and Iran.

Yea, I can just imagine OpenAI is really struggling with their business decision.

On the one hand, they have multi-billion dollar contracts with the US Military that will make them all fabulously wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

On the other, they have a handful of individuals leaving that might amount to a few thousand dollars of lost revenue.

Gosh, it must sure have been a tough choice.
