I do this always. It’s the “I’m not a threat” thing. I prefer the discomfort or personal inconvenience to being seen as a threat or even causing anxiety in that direction. Maybe it makes no difference, that’s fine, maybe they think I’m weird, also fine as long as it has the intended effect of getting across that I am not a threat. It’s worth it for the times it does matter.
Given that they are serious, though, and the subject, maybe they should be taken deadly seriously.
We let them call themselves that. Just stop respecting their self-identification, they’ve basically abdicated any right to our respect anyway by breaking the social contract.
maybe it will finally convince some voters
Lol. Lmao, even. That was a smile I needed this dark and dreary day, wry though it may have been.
Thus continuing the work COVID started and further reducing the voting bloc the right relies on to get elected… right?
“Death” would be the noun, “die” the (intransitive) verb. “Dead” would be the adjective, i.e. the condition.
Although it has to be said that there’s a lot of flexibility and I’m pretty sure you could find valid ways to use each of them in all cases.
Yikes. How do you handle it - try not to think about it, stay out of the house? Dark humour and fucked up jokes? Do you interact with her much? Any opinions on her?
Edit: sorry haha I know this isn’t an AMA 😅
I agree but that’s irrelevant. The public’s approval of a person only matters if that person was elected to a position by the public. Musk was not elected, so his approval ratings amongst the public do not matter.
This motherfucker was not elected. His approval ratings do not matter because nobody voted for him. Jesus fucking Christ.
I wish more people could understand the brutal reality of these situations without having to live them. It’s not just chanting and throwing a punch or three, and then going home. It’s going to be horrible and nothing will be the same afterwards; a lot of people we love are going to die, and the outcomes we want aren’t guaranteed, even if we win. If it’s a fight that has to happen, then it will, but nobody should be looking forward to it even grimly.
His tiny, tiny hand?
I stand corrected, this speaks to my robot soul
“Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.
Bruce Lee, Archmage!
Here’s how you know it’s not ready: AI hasn’t replaced a single CEO.
They’ll eat it up beyond that. They will never, ever wake up.
I understand, I was in exactly the same position. Then my battery swelled and wouldn’t hold a charge at all, so I couldn’t restore anything anyway, and my last backup was inaccessible (I know I know, test your backups, but like I started this post with I’m in the same boat of all work and no time for me).
Losing everything was remarkably freeing. Just switch all your 2FA to Aegis as has been suggested, and save anything you want to back up over the wire, then take the plunge. You won’t lose everything like I had to, and you won’t regret the switch 😊
Why do you say you don’t care about climate change, and what would make you care? Climate change is one of those things that’s going to suck for all of us, so even if you have no empathy for anyone else, it’s kinda surprising that you don’t at least care about how it will affect you.
antithetical to the spirit of silicon valley
Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.
Why do people ask for me to fix their computer issues, only to ignore me or tell me I’m wrong when I give them the solution? Yet it happens every day. People are weird, man.
