our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

chat is this good

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

I've been genuinely curious whether they do laud their parents and grandparents, or do they think that generation were honorable dupes who were manipulated by a manipulated Roosevelt? How do these fuckers actually feel about Allied victory?

for sure, the huddled masses and the idea of a melting pot have a place in the American imagination that they don't in Europe, but the Dems have been (have let themselves be?) cornered into largely agreeing w hysteria about securing the border. I'd like them to say more about the affirmative case!

are you saying that there's a mainstream US political party that is really affirmatively making the case that immigration is good?

Uhh... "a private room in the West Wing which no others from the Chinese delegation were allowed to use"? Is this the part where he puts his fingers down his throat and brings up the listening device that he then screws into a light socket?

Chief among the requests was a private room inside the West Wing for Xi to take a break between events, with only his wife, Peng Liyuan, permitted to join him, the people said. No others from the Chinese delegation were allowed to use the “hold room,” as it was called—not even Cai Qi, Xi’s chief of staff, they added.

he was famous for always wearing a hoodie, wasn't he? someone brings him a bespoke hoodie made of finest alpaca/merino blend, and he wears it grumpily, wishing it were "you know, just a hoodie"

how is it that amidst Sisfred, Bonfilius, and Gontard the merchant, we have good old 'Robert the smith'? did they tease him for having such a dull name, or did it seem exotic to them?
