Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

If he could trade his gayness for being a CIA agent, he would in a heartbeat

Not all forms of queerness are valid actually. The way Pete Buttigieg is doing it is wrong, and he should be embarrassed.

“Regular people from Iowa like them” is actually a massive red flag if you’re talking about a queer person

Pete Buttigieg Doubles Down on Comments About the “Fairness” of Trans People in Sports “I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

Yes! Bowls are easier for my clumsy fingers

But I AM willing to try again

Oh to be clear *I* don’t know how; *I* am the one who has lost the tradition, the craft. I’ve tried and I’m bad, so I buy pre-rolls. I can pack a good bowl tho!

I’m always saying this. Vapes remove the ceremony from smoking weed, and we’re losing our traditions, our craft.

It’s hard to cultivate a jokey tone while gooning, I suppose

You have to be willing to be a little bit vulnerable or else you’ll never make a connection with another human being ever. These people are afraid of their own shadows.

You can be all of these things at once but it takes practice

Some people really just hate being alive and see no point in trying at all. They do as they’re told. They have no ability to savor things, no drive to hone craft. They will die alone, and they’ve convinced themselves that’s good.

“Instead of having to think of what to say” is so fucking sad man. Thinking of what to say is, like, half the fun of being conscious.

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

Such a smug little asshole!!!

everything you as a democrat hate about what trump is doing has been means tested on trans people. everything. the democracy you want to save, we were the test case for ending it.

and it started with making you angry about trans people in sports.

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion.

It’s not possible to fix one of these issues in any real way without fixing the other

When people like this complain about “purity tests”, they’re just revealing which demographics they’re fine with throwing under the bus. The reality is that a version of the US that doesn’t have ICE raids cannot and will not exist without liberation for trans people. These aren’t separate issues.

This happened to me while I was ******* **** the other day. Very humbling.

The first day in ages where it’s nice enough to open the windows, the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. I’m gonna start smoking again and buy a gun.

If I did half the shit that these people do, I wouldn’t feel comfortable showing my face in public ever again, frankly

Clearly the spirit who controls the steady march of time is granting your wishes rn, don’t waste that

Imagine losing the most easily winnable election in history because you couldn’t help but facilitate a genocide and still lack the shame that would prevent you from publishing a book about it

Aim higher with your conditions. $1 million.

The concept “witch hunt” is based on a shared understanding there is no such thing as magic. Go back twenty years and the idea that obvious bigots should be given immunity from disciplinary action would correctly be understood as insane far right crankery, deliberately vexatious and destructive.

Polycule commune lifestyle is looking more and more appealing by the day
