Found out today that my university has recently approved a student club chapter of TPUSA;
if I have anything to say about it, there will very soon be a student club that is entitled "TPUSA Is Designated By The SPLC As A Hate Group"

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
