This is actually very funny and telling. Mike Pence is on the side of the maga Republican elite who thinks Trump is just a misguided megalomaniac like all of them who’s just taking his turn at power and all he’s looking for is a little grease in the wheels to see reason.

What Pence doesn’t realize is that Trump moved on from him long ago after dropping him like a soggy sandwich for crossing him even once.

I think the tp during COVID was kind of a fluke. It could have been anything. Laundry detergent, some food product etc. TP was just what the news hung their hat on so it’s what everyone thought about when they went to the store.

I’m personally buying rice, beans, and lots of spices to make some delicious meals and wait out the price shocks of food.

Besides that, I mean what do you really need need when it comes to this stuff? I can think of a few things but it’s a very short list. Really we’re just going to have to ride it out and hope it doesn’t get bad bad

I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”

But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.

Idk, just one glimpse of the fediverse chick was enough to shatter my world.

What’s crazy is that it’s perfect. Getting rid of autistic people is exactly the intellectual purging that fascists want when they get into power.

I know not every autistic person is “an intellectual” but many transgressive artists and radical leftist college professors are autistic.

I honestly don’t even know what to say lol. How do you think anyone forms an identity ever? We have - I was going to type decades - but centuries of case studies and writing about why people get roped into cults of personality and insane belief systems despite looking like lunatics from the outside.

What do you even think is happening to these people? Based on your previous reply the answer is “I have no idea” which should tell you you should look a little deeper into what’s happening.

Maybe they’re too far gone, but you’re talking about impressionable young boys, like 10-16. At those ages we as a society agree that a lot of all childrens personalities aren’t dictated by their own choices since they lack the life experiences and cognitive abilities to function as an adult. Instead they’re highly impressionable, influenced by their social sphere and nowadays their social media feeds.

So sure, maybe you could say they’re fucked from the jump, but understand that they are not taking as active of a role in who’s forming their thought processes like a 25 year old getting hooked on Tate is.

That’s… Their point? Either you misread what they said or you wrote your response wrong.

What about the very famous equivalent that happened like a year ago where someone won an art competition with an AI generated photo?

In theory you just have a dozen or so bags that you can take with you every time. The knee-jerk reaction is to call it something the company does to offload responsibility, but unfortunately for us Americans this is the norm in many other places in the world and they deal with it fine.

I’ll be fucking out now

Yeah, it’s like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.

I’m all for the non-binary support. But I’ll be real, every queer person I’ve worked at a coffee shop with was not there to make good coffee or appeal to customers.

I don’t blame them whatsoever, I wasn’t there for that either I’m just saying.

In my genuine honest opinion because I always keep it real, and I do this only so I live my life knowing that I never lie: you look like you suck the shit out of butts for a living.

I’m at the point where I know he won’t face consequences because he’s rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.

We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.

They know we know.

“Nazi punks stand back and stand by”

I hate it when people send emails that could have just been all-hands meetings.

It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.
