"Just one more thing, sir, if I may…" Opinionated people hold opinions for no other reason than to have the opinion. My opinions are not important to me, what's important to me is how I feel about my reasoning. Are you sick of this AI shit yet?
If you aren't willing to talk to me about what you did and enter negotiation about redress, the only thing I have to say is remind you of the possible future state of your kneecaps. People love me for who I am and have always been. Are you loved like that or just loved in spite of what you did?
people just need to start betting on each prediction market about the health and welfare of the families of the owners and operators of all the other prediction markets figure out how to do it with their money @wapplehouse.bsky.social
>DSA recruiter comes up. >"Want to join our new progressive movement? >I ask: "progressive movement or religion replacement" >He's confused. >Pull out charts showing line between radical reformism and secular utopian millenarianism. >"It's a good movement sir." >Joins >Religion replacement
Ya know, when I feel super bad about the present, I need to remind myself that Nixon was reelected
"straight laced" would be the nazi ladder style for… shoes I guess "strait laced" means tightly laced, constricted like a corset, very tight, which is what Hank Hill is, and is the actual idiom thank you for your attention
Just call the confederacy the Slavers, because that is the core of what they were. Southerners, procurers, auctioneers, overseers, owners, these words imply regional regular business, passive in tense. Rather than "Slaveholders' Rebellion" I suggest just "Slavers' Rebellion" or the "Slaver War".
a big mistake (that you could learn is a big mistake from the movies, but i digress) is to assume that men who seem soft and easy when they are not angry, cannot get angry, or that their anger, once aroused, would be significantly softer or easier than those conspicuously 'rougher' to begin with
Patrick Wyman@patrickwyman.bsky.social · 5d agoLot of inoffensive guys who coach their daughters’ soccer teams strongly considering the politics of blood and revenge, chat is that good for the Republican Party
If Jordan Schitzer wanted some (hell, even ALL) of that climate money he'd have his steel company build an electrified smelter and steal the power capacity that these AI cocksuckers are putting in. Instead, the rich kids just follow the AI cocksuckers.
the only thing that will save spacex is selling ballistic drone delivery Starships that will be the top of their revenue curve
I just learned Trad Cath Tankies were a thing a few days ago and I am not sure I have recovered. If there are any more of you, please go away
The Iran police action is not about winning, it's about swinging our dick for Ukraine in a way that placates the ruskified traitors in the GOP. Is that a good thing? War bad.
The markets are about to shit 10 pounds of gore. Or not, but the grifters are getting desperate.
Unusual Whales@unusualwhales.bsky.social · last wk.BREAKING: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said that AI singularity has arrived, per ABC
It's a measure of how dumb and useless Musk and Thiel are that they only understand the text of scifi plots but not the subtext of the stories. They have no backup bullshit-detector made by the world. Instead they just have their shitty nazi background to fall back on.
The biggest threat to the lucrative industry of engine maintenance is a dwindling supply of skilled workers. For now, though, the business is continuing to fly high
Airplane-engine maintenance is now a money spinner
Manufacturers are earning big bucks as a result

bad cases make good law, especially when it's the prosecution/plaintiff who wins only one specific point (the point everyone needed made) and everything else is the judge telling the "winner" that they suck and the sentence is time served or damages are awarded to the tune of a single dollar
Beware anyone who expects you to die for the cause when they won’t even cross the street for it.
Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.
The Odyssey was good and fine, though I missed the first few minutes. It hit all the points and then some I remember from the BBC production from back in the day when they played radio drama on public radio affiliates. Also I'm not seven anymore so I got more from it. That poor cyclops. Zeus's law!

Tired of all these videos that try to pathologize EVERYTHING. Can't we each have individual quirks without it being an identity, disorder, disease or illness?! F*ck.
And since most of these databases can be crunched on a home computer, it does not use the kind of energy and datacenters that are creating so many issues.
the founders had a lot of bad ideas and practices but they nailed it with the "how about we dont have the government ever control speech or religion" bit.
To the students writing your papers with AI: I can tell.
Rump is now the de-facto bitch of every connected bureaucrat in government, the less principled the better, and I fucking love it. He's living Catch 22 right now. Him, his friends, his family, he's down in the swill forever. And yes, the ground crew is going to be written out to reduce complication.
One last key point here is that earnings in adulthood correlate significantly with the wealth of the family into which one was born. So this policy will incentivize “smart” colleges to admit more rich kids because they’re more likely to become wealthy adults than poor kids.
1984 was a very 1984 kind of time and history indeed stopped. All the stupid cocksucking rich people think that Orwell's 1984 is an endpoint, only with a fake royal family of trashy slumlords rather than a fake dictator ranting at a fake enemy, the Goldstein. A few jews are on board, making it ok.
