You mean Sundar Pichai didn’t say “One thing was to train our LLM on every piece of copyrighted material created by humanity. We made our peace with that. But to willfully use copyleft software? That’s a Faustian bargain I hope I can atone for:”

Rents are already higher than mortgages and the whole point of the 50 year mortgage is a lower monthly payment, but okay yeah I’m the idiot.

they’re aiming to lock people into a mortgage that would cost more per month than renting the same property until they’re 90.

How do you figure that?

Bookmooch

You list the books, the condition, add pictures if you choose, people can request it from you if they want it, it’s their choice and you don’t have to feel bad about it, and you ship it to them. In return you get points you can use to request books from others.

Dude, same. Surprised it even got a mention.

I very much doubt OP is cartoonist Ryan K Hudson. Just post it, you have my permission.

Omfg I just got that 🤦

I have lunch meeting with a magat in a few hours, I’m going to try my hardest to memorize this!

It was an ex and one he proclaimed to be toxic at that, so I’d be more concerned for the party that didn’t consent to have their story shared or turned into a meme.

Idk I thought these were worth a sensible chuckle:

Considering these people are in charge of the only systems capable of regulating them, yeah probably not. And if you won’t sell them they’ll force you into foreclosure and buy you up even cheaper like JD Vance’s Acretrader has been doing to farms.

Vulture capitalism. These VCs come in and take out a huge loan to buy these established companies, then the company becomes responsible for paying the loan, and the company also pays the VC “management fees” then when the company is a hollow husk of what it used to be they start selling off assets and closing stores. Kmart, Sears, Toys R’ Us, Circuit City, Party City, Payless, etc etc etc. This is how Thiel made his Billions and what Vance did before pretending to be a politician. Lately they’ve been going after the funeral home industry and veterinary clinics.

The Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories were based on the Jade Helm 15 United States military training exercise, which took place in multiple U.S. states between July 15 and September 15, 2015. The exercise, which involved 1,200 personnel from four of the five branches of the U.S. military, was designed to train soldiers in skills needed to operate in overseas combat environments, including maneuvering through civilian populations. The announcements of these training exercises raised concerns and generated conspiracy theories, mostly from Alex Jones, that the exercise was a hostile military takeover.

Damn employees expecting to be fairly compensated for their labor. Don’t they know they’re literally stealing from the executive’s bonuses?

“People” You know it’s funny, it shot up to around ten upvotes, then suddenly it was -2 and now it’s where it’s at, so I think one person with a few alts just took what I said personally. And you know how it is, people see the down votes before they read the comment and form an opinion that shapes how they read the comment, if they read it at all. I don’t mind, it doesn’t matter, and we’re all just here to shoot the shit anyway. I’m well aware of how amazing I am at word choice and getting my point across (/s), and I know people tend to get defensive when you insinuate the bad thing they did when they were drunk was more about them than the alcohol. It’s a point I stand by, though. I used to drink a lot, and I’m not proud of all of my actions from that time period, but I do own them. And I know the terrible things that my supposed friend did nearly every time we drank was just him showing me how he truly feels and wants to act, and I will absolutely crucify myself on this hill before I let people like that blame the alcohol rather than self-reflect. But I’m glad to know there are others out there like you who know that no one and nothing is responsible for their actions but themselves. Personal responsibility seems to be fading out in our society.

Sounds like cope, or maybe we’re just talking about different kinds of behavior. I’ve seen plenty of drunk people do stupid or horrifying things that weren’t instinctive; they were just acting out stuff they already wanted to do sober.

I’ve done dumb things while drunk too, like throwing up off a balcony. Not something I’d ever plan sober, but it happened before my rational brain caught up. That’s probably closer to what you mean: impulsive stuff that slips out before logic intervenes.

But that’s not the same as people suddenly becoming violent or hypersexual when they drink, every time they drink. That’s inhibition loss revealing what’s already under the surface. The booze didn’t create it; it just took away the filter. Those absolutely are hidden desires.

Alcohol doesn’t make you do something alien to you. It makes you less able to stop yourself from doing what you’re already inclined to do, whether that’s stupid, aggressive, or emotional.

BS. Drinking lowers your inhibitions, it doesn’t make you do anything you wouldn’t want to.
