On the upside, if opposition manages to take power, they can mass pardon everyone convicted and then get the federal government to settle for a billion dollars, like you do when you back the blue

Something insane about a virulently anti-trans lawmaker making herself look like Steven Tyler in drag with massive breasts pole dancing

What a completely garbage situation. Today is journalists' day in Ukraine and I'm reminded that journalists elsewhere, in countries that should be ostensibly safe for reportage, often put their own lives at risk.

Aside from Musk's life expectancy getting cut short when he discovers CECOT isn't that place at Disney World with all the national pavilions thanks to him frauding his student visa, why does he think under normal circumstances he'd hit 93+ years?

When given a choice to do the thing with operant conditioning that is shown to reinforce behavior and the thing shown to extinguish behavior, some people do the extinguishing thing. Almost like they're high conflict personalities that don't want victory because it's an end to fighting 🤔

My use case for LLMs is debugging code. Not that the LLMs are good at finding bugs - we're about a 90/10 split in favour of me for that, even for basic things like putting a cross product in the wrong order and now my sign is reversed - but I spitball with them as a way to keep my brain in gear.

All that battle rattle and a tiny woman, an old lady, and a dad with some dad flannel made their pee go back inside

This is also worth noting but tbh the cope is hilarious. "You can't attack bombers that are used to bomb you if they're participating in some treaty" is actually fucking dumber than "I didn't know Russia left START"

In retrospect when Reginald Barclay and Geordi LaForge (!) used the holodeck to make non-consensual fuckdolls out of their co-workers we really should have taken that as a warning that AI wasn't a wholly utopian perfect tea synthesizing machine and talking calculator
