All the way back to Dumb and Dumber. (Yes I’m old).

So you’re saying there’s a job opening…

A) How much did he offer to pay the veteran?

and

B) How long before the veteran realises none of that money will ever see his or his families bank accounts?

I kind of don’t want to know, because the real answer would probably be terrifying.

Easily Converter Now. So darn handy.

Not a full on extinction event, but the late bronze age collapse has always fascinated me. So much do that it led me to pursue archaeology in college.

So many theories, everyone has their favourite, but yeah, what ultimately caused every near eastern civilisation as well as the Mycenaean Greeks to just all collapse and disappear over a relatively short 200 years or so (archaeologically speaking a blink-of-an-eye)

He also calls her a Fascist and a Communist; completely oblivious to the fact that those are three very separate things…

He’s an idiot who shouts out whatever strings of words he thinks will make his smooth brained followers hoot and howl.

I’m not excusing it by any means. I’m just saying he doesn’t actually know what the fuck he’s saying, so its not worth the oxygen to even try to respond to it.

This will doom the industry!

They weren’t even “fully ready” for Ukraine…

It’s depressing.

It kind of makes me want to go live in a shack in the woods, grow a garden and live out the rest of my days growing my beard and writing increasingly more obscure poetry until it gets posthumously published after my death.

Vegetables and Trees are real at least.

Very true. It’s the immediacy of it that struck me this morning.

If I make a post telling you that I met Elvis Presley as an old man and you respond with “Pics or it didn’t happen”. I can literally post a reply to you within a couple of minutes (If I knew where to go) of me meeting an elderly Elvis Presley. Whereas before I’d have to put some effort into it, and then respond a day later with my finished photoshop creation. The immediacy lends it credibility in the way that traditional photo manipulation didn’t.

Every single one of us, as kids, learned the concept of “garbage in, garbage out”; most likely in terms of diet and food intake.

And yet every AI cultist makes the shocked pikachu face when they figure out that trying to improve your LLM by feeding it on data generated by literally the inferior LLM you’re trying to improve, is an exercise in diminishing returns and generational degradation in quality.

Why has the world gotten both “more intelligent” and yet fundamentally more stupid at the same time? Serious question.

I think these are just the ones who get caught and that there are hundreds more

“I think” is the operative statement there. What you think is pointless. Facts are what matter. And without evidence that it IS the majority doing it, automatically lumping them all into that group makes us no better than them in terms of their rhetoric and divisiveness.

Every damn side needs to stop painting the other with broad strokes and then complaining when they do it back. It’s not helpful. Questions that are worded like this are not helpful.

Tell my wife, “hello”…

She’s made very few appearances with him; largely following Melania’s lead and staying out of everything as much as possible.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the moment they lose the election, she tells him to fuck off and divorces him. Privately she’s likely disgusted to find out that her husband is a feckless sycophant who without hesitation would sell out his own family for an attempt at power.

She’s seeing the potential writing on the wall and is attempting to come across as moderate all of a sudden so that when the Republican party purge of MAGA begins, she can hopefully be overlooked by it.

So they…entered the neutral zone?

Kirk vibe intensifies.

When you’re as big an asshole as Trump, it’s not really motivating for anyone around you to do more than half-ass it.

Great. Then you shouldn’t have any problem coming up with three examples for us all.
