Stanford grad, former banker, Chicagoan, liberal, Dem, sci-fi, gamer mom. I tend to reply more than post. Working on reposting to help how Bsky works. Misspelling my name is an instablock.

Move your arm after the shot! Chicken dance it. Keeping yourarm immobile makes it worse. Sure, they said the opposite a few years ago, but moving arms works for me.

At least you know your immune system is reacting. I just get to hope it's working.

The nice thing about the college line was it made it clear that they could hear words and know they werent allowed to repeat them NOW, but someday they could. Ugh. And when that day comes, boy, do they lord it over me. Sounds like you're doing it right

I think I cut up fruit roll ups into different sized squares to match the cake in the game. It was a heck of a good party. Pin the tail on the Enderdragon. Hot potato with TNT boxes. Dancing to every parody I could find.

I used the line "there's a time and place for everything, and it's called college" which worked great until my kid transferred to a different middle school full of rich potty-mouthed children. Seeing violence desensitized it, so I did my best to prevent their intake while small.

Just... Okay, no nudity, but the amount of violence and gore??? I'd much rather my kids see nudity than violence. Family friendly R movie? Let's watch The Blues Brothers again! No nudity. No gore, just liberal usage of the F word.

She's not stupid. She's been raised in Evangelical Worls and trained by Liberty. She long ago learned how to be subordinate while manipulating the man with the power. After Trump, she'll pretend she was abused while looking for another rich, white guy to rescue her. Might even write a book.

They cannot feel sorrow or regret or the need to suck up to their programmers, but they've been programmed to add that type of text to replies when they are told they are wrong. Tech bros like that kind of response, and they are leaning in to it as if it meant anything. They are prediction engines

That is exactly what we are discussing here: the claim that a LLM feels pain and can be abused itself and not just used as a tool to abuse others. LLMs do not understand what facts are, not do they care about what facts mean. Their "apologies" for "mistakes" are coded & not actual sorrow.

Shut the fuck up. I encourage you to look into epigenetics And maybe question why you, yourself, find minimizing the definite harm caused by this traumatic and unnecessary harm to be appropriate.

No. Maybe with years of therapy, but the kid is *5* He will not forget his father being shot and dragged away while he was abandoned. Stop minimizing the harm ICE caused. The best we can hope for is no epigenetic changes.

Guaranteed. He saw his guardian shot. That causes trauma that even therapy may not be able to repair. This type of stress can cause changes in the brain that can be passed on.

Season 1 Mission Control was a bright 2 story set. Season 2 was dinky dark sets. Maybe they moved underground? Their 1st move tended to be attack, despite limited resources. Paul is still there, as well as the computer guy whose name eludes me at the moment.
Giant 2 story set for season 1. Cool retro futurism.Dinky command center in season 2.  Maybe they had to move underground b/c their first move was always attacking?

That's when a member has been seated after the start of the term. They get to make up new rules every term, and the speaker elect usually swears them in. The clerk has no Constitutional authority. Congress is empowered by the election, and if Dems have the majority, the GOP can't stop them.

As a kid, I liked season 2 better. Rewatching as an adult...oof. Creepy season 1 is superior.

A good argument against term limits is it takes a while to learn how it works and institutional knowledge is a good thing. Of course, the GOP elects some of the dumbest people on the planet.

It's like hazing--they survived the abuse, therefore it's not really abuse. It is abuse. It does not result in better behaved children than parents who set boundaries and consequences w/o hitting.

Oh. Veronica Mars! Season 1 was great--better pilot than Lost. It was based off an unsolicited YA novel, so it had a beginning middle and end. I actually started to trust the creators. Then the following seasons. 🙄 Especially season 3 with "feminists" faking rape claims. Just so disappointing.

Rogue One is the best Star Wara movie. That, the original trilogy, and the 78 Holiday Special are the entire canon.
