John is technically my name

Guessing I'm about halfway through my first Trails experience, and I'm on the fence as to whether I want to power through or take a break to dig into Esoteric Ebb

And that's why they want to lower the age of consent.

Make any comment about the evil of AI on the internet and you inevitably get these people saying, "Ah, but you can't halt progress." You know what else people thought was progress not long after it was invented? Asbestos.

Oh, you mean the party pizza? I mean, it's a serviceable pizza that's 2 or 3 bucks. I'd say it's less disappointing than Pizza Hut

Oh, now we're getting into one of my food hot takes, which is that frozen pizza is not a significant downgrade from most restaurant pizza. And I can grab one and put whatever I want on it.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

I always thought the appeal was not having to make a sandwich and that it was not good was the cost of convenience.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Incredibly ironic considering that shame is the reason why "porn addiction" exists in the first place, provably so. These guys are obviously grifters and all, but they are going to make the problem worse.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

My read on him was that he's dumb and shockingly uncurious for someone who interviews people for a living.

I mostly find it funny that Dorsey has done this twice. He keeps accidentally creating a space for people in his search for whatever it is techbros actually want to accomplish.

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI.

“I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”

Also, starting to really not vibe with the romantic undertones between the protagonists who have been raised as siblings for a third of their lives.

I've played enough video games to be immensely suspicious of the first military guy who actually treats my party with respect.

So we're done protecting ICE then?

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isn’t a sign of what the party has morphed into

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Really 80’s guitar player

Really 80’s singer

Really 80’s bass guy

Trent Reznor looking like Trent Reznor from age 18-60

Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled

How to win in November

A person who tried to rob me at a public park broke their hand on my face.

Yeah, I can say it's not the first JRPG that's given that vibe before (to the point where when DQ11 handled Sylvando reasonably well, it was viewed as a surprise. I mean, he was still a bit of a caricature, but people weren't weirded out by it at least)

First thing I'm finding myself bumping on in a negative way is the party's reaction to the first queer coded character they come across. Hoping the game redeems it at some point, but it all felt pretty homophobic.
