The fuck is wrong with yall? I get thirsty when I talk a lot. My mouth gets dry. The fuck do you care at all? Probably same people with "dont talk to me till I have had 2 cups of coffee" on their mug.

Is anyone hiring for democratic advisor positions, seems like a sweet gig. Constantly be wrong. Still get paid and never get fired.

I once again need to ask what did these morons think would be different from his first presidency? Especially among Latinos... he literally opened his first campaign talking about Mexico sending criminals to USA. "OH well... he's not talking about meee. Its those other brown people"

#FunFact: President Biden & VP Harris banned the sale of these bombs. Trump reversed that policy the moment he took office.

I think the craziest part of this is its not even AI. Its not remotely even in the same realm as any sci fi book/movie/TV show that warns of dangers of AI. These LLMs are not thinking or reasoning, they're fucking complex pattern matching. These LLMs having the ability to destroy humans is about..

I honestly couldn't care less. Like who do you respect more: the politician that is appropriately somber during Tomb of the Unknown Soldier but votes to take support for veterans, or the one that actually had actions that speak louder than a half second video clip?

Yea no. For every 1 "you cant trust the man" tv shows or movies there's at least 10 copaganda TV shows or movies. Nevermind the extreme lack of ability of the general public to have any media literacy.

Trump CAMPAIGNED on greenlighting everything Netanyahu wants to do, scattering Gazans to the four winds, and bulldozing the region to make way for Trump-Kushner properties. HE CAMPAIGNED ON THIS. But the people screaming "Geonicde Joe" and "Killer Kamala" didn't actually care. Hypocrites.

So much for "empathy for our customers" I have had a theory now for years. Satya in his book "Refresh" tells a story of interviewing for a VP role at MS. In said story an executive asks him what he would do if he saw a baby crying in the street. The exec doesnt like his answer...

It appears I am back in the good graces of the #Etsy algorithm, with 7 lazy susan orders in the last week or so. Putting the shop in vacation mode was not good, apparently. 1 Walnut, 1 Patagonia & 1 mesquite with epoxy, but Bolivian Rosewood remains the most popular by far. #woodworking

100% disagree. Literally everyone I know from Boomers down to Millinnials complain about how "they dont make things like they used to" People dont want cheaper disposable goods. We're *forced* to buy cheaper disposable goods because minimum wage and salaries have not kept up with inflation.

We should definitely stop pretending like these people arent a very small extremely vocal minority. The vast majority of Normal Ass People got the vaccines and went on about their lives, and wore masks and stayed home to varying degrees.
About 79% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and roughly 67% completed their primary series.Vaccination TotalsAt least one dose: Received by roughly 79% to 81% of total Americans.Primary series complete: Finished by about 67% to 69% of the total population.Group DifferencesAge trends: Older adults aged 65 and older have the highest uptake at roughly 91%, while younger adults aged 18 to 29 are lower at about 70%.Political views: About 91% of Democrats report getting at least one dose, compared to 66% of Republicans.You can review further tracking metrics on the KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor Dashboard or read historical summaries on Wikipedia's COVID-19 Vaccination Page.

Anti-marriage equality campaign is installing billboards attacking queer families across the country. It's bad to have 2 dads or moms, but what about the disfunctional families with only 1 parent??

The Senate is DEI for rural white representation. More people live in Houston than the entire state of Kentucky. Millions of us are held hostage by low population states that receive far more money than they produce.

1) I thought yelling at refs was a prime tenet of pro basketball? 2) wasn't there literally concerns for *her* safety on the court last year because she was getting fouled so much? And those fouls weren't being called. 3) its not her fault there are racists out there.

Counter-Strike was, and still is better. When i went to college people were freaking out about doing halo LAN parties like 4v4. Or just 4 total players on a console CS was 10v10 on the internet and you weren't stuck with a shitty controller for aiming. Needless to say I didnt get the hype, at all.

I have literally seen the 4th one in action(the Germans that get "adopted")and its the least surprising thing, I cpuld literally see it happening in every state on the country. And I love that. There are assholes everywhere but I think we need to remember they are a loud, very annoying, minority.
