i've told this story before but when i went for my initial consult at glasgow, they took us in *in pairs* "to save time" as in "let's discuss your future vagina alongside a total stranger." I genuinely think i disassociated through the whole thing

This is as much a problem with AI as it copyright. The length has been extended past human lifespans to the point that MAYBE something from when you were a kid might one day be free to use. But there's always the Enron Corpus.

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.

genuinely who cares if it’s a conflict of interest the real issue is that like 60% of young men are actively addicted to these apps in a way that make financial literacy impossible

if you were wondering how he only served 13 months in prison after raping multiple minors, it's because he served zero jail time for raping multiple minors. the only jail time he served was for financial crimes covering up sexually abusing children. he kept his congressional pension up to now

If basic human rights are predicated on whether someone committed crimes (see the "except as punishment for a crime" clause in the Thirteenth Amendment), then you create perverse incentives for those in power to create as many "criminals" out of the opposition as possible. Prisoners are humans.

Do you know why I think every prisoner should get to vote in prison? Not only are prisoners counted in the census and are most affected by policies (check out prison gerrymandering), but also if you don't, regimes could simply round up 1,000s of dissidents and minorities to reshape the electorate

I saw Hellraiser when I was 8, and the whole time my dad was talking about the novels. I am not the one to talk about how scary media is.

It turns out that watching gory horror movies as a family while your dad critiques the special effects really prevents that happening from fiction. So...the Saddam Hussein execution video I guess? Though I was in high school by then.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

Actual advice. Late spring into early summer is usually the hiring time. Have perfect attendance, you'll never be looked at. Don't work harder than the person next to you after you're past probationary period. Find a place with normal shifts, not rotating shifts. Rotating shifts are hell.

I solder custom electronics for a living. The pay could be better, but the work itself is actually nice. You can just apply at a factory, it beats retail.

attempting to dox a gang rape survivor is like the final boss in loser behavior. a cloud of loserdom will surround you for the rest of your life. people on the street will see you and they probably won’t know your name but they’ll know you’re the fucking worst.

All this campus sexual assault stuff is really proving that we're good at punishing an individual (when their protection breaks down and they're exposed), but totally unwilling and/or incapable of addressing the systems that make rape keep happening at apocalyptic frequency. It's kinda fucked up.

Making something legally not mine in my car
Location: Columbus ohio
Could I put a bin in my car with a label to make sure cops know something in my car isn't mine. I'm 18 but my mom and brother are over the age of 21 and sometimes they will leave liquor or weed in my car. I don't want to get pulled over and get a possession charge for it is there any way I can make it legally not mine while in my car. So they don't have to come to my house to pick it up every time.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3:
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”
