My answer to you is that I fully expect the ability to do stuff yourself to be seen as extremely valuable in about 2 or 3 years. This whole AI thing is pretty definitely a bubble, and on top of that it also looks to me like the blockchain and metaverse tech-fads, and I strongly believe that when the bubble bursts people that can say “I spent all that time learning to do things myself rather than rely on ai to do my thinking for me” are going to be the only people with careers.


Did you even look at the article?


Hey hey, don’t lump the satanists in with these pieces of shit, they are actually generally pretty cool in my experience.


Funny enough that actually wouldn’t be more efficient of a compression algorithm, the size of the file reference would be at best exactly the same size as the image that is being referenced, just because any fewer bits would lead to duplicate reference locations.


I would guess there are two reasons: a) Alex Jones isn’t making public appearances to my knowledge, and b) Jones has already been pretty well destroyed by the legal system.


It feels like everyone is focusing too hard on that one word: communist. To me it’s very clear the sentiment behind what she said was that Trump is acting exactly like the dictatorial leaders of the communist nations that America has been fighting against and villainizing for the last 50 years: the USSR, north Korea, communist China, etc.


There was Admiral Watkins, the anti-gay catholic admiral that Reagan put in charge of investigating the AIDS epidemic. IIRC he gave some extremely reasonable proposals that Reagan promptly ignored.


The mistake was running a geriatric against Trump back in 2020. It was a losing move for Biden to stay in the race as long as he did, it would have been just as much of a losing move to hold a primary before he left the race, and there wasn’t enough time to hold a primary once he did step back. If the president hadn’t been 81 years old and was in a stable mental state they wouldn’t have needed to leave the race, and Trump would most likely have lost. Fingers crossed whoever runs against the republicans next time (assuming there is a next time) learns from that mistake and platforms someone in their 50s instead.


Were this reddit I would be highly tempted to give that some gold.


I think we would be closer to all those things than we are now, having backslid on every single one of those metrics since Trump took office.


I’m confused, are we on step 1 or step 4 of the narcissist prayer right now?
1: That didn’t happen. 2: And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. 3: And if it was, that’s not a big deal. 4: And if it is, that’s not my fault. 5: And if it was, I didn’t mean it. 6: And if I did, you deserved it.


The worst one I’ve encountered apparently has a secret bench somewhere that makes it much better, and the second worst (the runback that I think everyone is talking about) is about as long as the runback to crystal guardian I think.


I mean, there are some really bad runbacks, but yeah most of them are fine.


What does that mean “temporarily”!? How do you temporarily fire someone?


I’ll never touch Mac, partly because I have issues with Apple’s business practices, and partly because I manage to break every single piece of software I touch and I’m not confident I’d be able to unbreak a mac, but if not for those factors I actually would be more likely to use it over Windows on the off chance I encounter things I can’t do on Linux.


God I am glad I switched to Linux.


Porn is different for many reasons, chief among them being that the age verification laws don’t actually keep kids from accessing it. On top of that, porn is something that most people are embarrassed about accessing for a wide variety of reasons, and for them any requirement that they make available proof that they did so is equivalent to a legal ban on accessing that perfectly legal material.
Also I’m pretty sure this is the wrong community to be having this conversation.


Hey hey, it is still possible that there are environmental factors that make the genetic causes more or less likely to result in full autism. Kennedy certainly hasn’t found any of those though.
Is that going to kill the need for the various modloaders?
