I really deeply hate cars, and the way perfectly reasonable people become absolute animals when they have to wait 15 seconds

If you are on an escalator or moving walkway in an airport and you are standing on the left (or worse, in the middle), you are a bad person and you should feel bad about yourself.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

the high volume of very highly produced anti-prop-40 mailers and robo messages is doing a great job of convincing me that maybe prop 40 is a good idea

A round Earth takes up most of the video. The dayside and nightside are visible. A swirling, moving aurora is visible surrounding Earth's North Pole. There are some bright objects that speckle the background.

I just paid $137 for two bags of groceries, and I'm talking cheddar cheese, milk, and pita bread not gourmet shit. I don't think anyone's ready for how unbelievably fucked we're all going to be by the diesel situation.

Look, he's absolutely batshit insane and can barely string two words together, but what he's saying is the high gas prices are a small price to pay for stopping Iran from destroying a city. This is total bullshit, but so is intentionally misrepresenting his insane ramblings

Ah ok that's not what he actually said, this is an intentional misquote. He's still a complete idiot and Iran is not going to nuke SD.

To submit my polycule application: I can wire a generator from copper stripped from a wall and make pretty decent wine from juice, sugar and bread yeast. The sex part is optional but put me in for a maybe.

As an everyday American, it's hard to know which lies to believe. That's why I watch podcasts. They cut through the science and deliver uneducated takes that I know I can blindly trust.

Well, by living with honor so far you haven't committed any unforgivable crimes (I presume) and so are not shunned and punished by those you love which is nice.

It is a little disconcerting that so many people who know a lot about LLMs on a technical level appear to go a little insane. It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad.
