Just one day left to get my game for $7.50! That's a steal for this giant 8 year scope creep of a game!

One of the best cold opens in TV history I think is Eyewitness: Cat. An absolute flex of a shot (no vfx, they put a tiger in the studio!) and of course the theme song is a banger.

Unclear why people on here give the nyt any oxygen at all. Their real news stories are stolen and their original stories are propaganda. The only thing you need to say about the nyt is to tell your friends and family to unsubscribe

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

This is a very bizarre interaction for me because from your statement and replies it feels like you're inhabiting a different world from me, or have totally blocked out the real world. I guess I get it, the real world sucks in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean I can stop caring about it.

llms only “exist” to give one reply at a turn you: x llm: y then the whole process starts over. there is no continuity. each reply is 100% fresh. the context of your previous “conversation” is included, hidden from you, in every request you make. continuity is an illusion
