When I see "the resistance" get up and make these bold speeches, and then I see the signs saying "if Kamala had won, we'd be a brunch," I don't feel hopeful. I feel annoyed. Because brunch is where they were when millions of children were acquiring lifelong illness and bird flu was training up.

I can't say this enough...this right here is your problem. These are the racist psychopaths that dragged the U.S. even deeper into white supremacy than it already was. "The cool kids moralized about Gaza" is not a way a normal person with a soul refers to objecting to genocide

β€œDon’t expect the world to take care of you” what fascists and capitalists want you to think. If you don’t believe you owe care to others in your community, you don’t have a community, and that’s where fascism and overconsumption thrive by filling the void. Community care is radical and subversive

This is funnier and funnier the more I look at it. They laid out all the ingredients he was going to need. So this was going to be a demo where a robot tells you how to take ingredients that are sitting on your counter and combine them into a sauce.

Report: At this point we are just trying to figure who Canadian Parliament WON'T give a standing ovation to OTTAWA - After members of the Canadian Parliament earlier today gave a standing ovation to recently deceased far-right agitator who touted white supremacist theories, Charlie Kirk, we here at The Beaverton are stuck trying to figure out if there’s literally anyone our elected officials won’t celebrate.

All the new work I've taken on recently doesn't pay me soon enough for me to pay my rent in full on the 15th, which is when my rent is due. And my landlord charges me an extra $50 per day for late rent! 😩 

I begged a client for an advance on my whitepapers, but I had no luck with that.

Gen AI has seriously harmed my livelihood. But the new work I've found very recently will get me back on my feet. Unfortunately it's not paying me soon enough to not be late on my rent and fined. 

Please, please pitch in or share. Thank you, friends. ❀️

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

I've tried to stop covid scolding and just let people carry on, but it really burns my biscuits when someone's like "how can I avoid covid?" and you're like "wear an N95 or better, and to avoid breathing public unfiltered air," and they're like "oh I meant how can I avoid it without trying."

Series 13 BIGGEST HITTERS | Would I Lie To You?
YouTube video by Would I Lie To You? Series 13 BIGGEST HITTERS | Would I Lie To You?

"Would I Lie to You?" is a British panel show where comics guess whether another panelists's insane story is true.

While it's definitely an acquired taste, if you like UK comics and comedy, it's a lot of fun.

In any case, PLEASE at least watch the first segment.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Not to be controversial on main, but I think the main issue with men who think like this is, deep down, anger at women finally having the financial and social freedom to choose men based on the way men have always been able to choose women: looks and personality. We don't need them and they're mad!
