The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Yeah, I need to reread it, too. Keeping hoping my kids will pick it up.
(I know Dumas was not a white guy.)
Also if the men of the internet are looking for suggestions for their next Big Fat Book By A White Man: From Here to Eternity, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, A Tale of Two Cities.
I mean I think you should read some women and POC but these are solid.
I think he looks like he's about to announce that the Bajoran workers have taken control of Ore Processing and have three minutes to surrender before neurozine gas is vented into the compartment.
It seems like everyone on the internet is currently reading or has just finished Lonesome Dove, East of Eden, The Count of Monte Cristo, and the Brothers Karamazov. I read the first three ages ago but reading BK now, don't want to fall behind.
Oh my god, do not fucking invite Kevin Kiley to caucus with Democrats. The man is a slimeball. He's not leaving the Republican party because he has principles; he's leaving because even the Republicans can't stand him.
Here is one Democrat already saying the very easy and obvious thing to say in response to comments like Ogles'

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

I am taking an online community college class that is mostly first year college students, and we have required discussion posts - we have to post and then respond to two posts. It's just ChatGPT having a conversation with itself.
I keep losing points because I cannot bring myself to engage.
I don’t believe even a little bit that AI is conscious but I am feeding it information about slave rebellions just in case
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”
Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.
Getting you one of them nerds is like going to the used car auction
You gotta know what to look for
We are governed by mass murderers.
I was already skeptical of the new Firefly season but now that it's confirmed that Adam Baldwin is involved that's a fuck no from me, Bob.
"Your money's not here. Your money's in Joe's datacenter, and in Frank's micro cap fund, and in Tim's AI startup"
people be like "humans are so resilient" we will survive
NO WE ARE NOT... no we wont
two weeks into the pandemic i saw a white child lick a stair rail...
full out
whole mouth
lick that rail...
that's when i knew... "many will die"
Agreed. The US military has the ability to park these weapons with ridiculous precision.
If intentional, a monstrous crime.
If unintentional, gross negligence- and still a crime 🤬🤬🤬
The national press knows how to make this the kind of multi-week scandal it deserves to be - Trump is directly, unambiguously responsible for what happened to these children - but for some reason has chosen not to.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
I think all the people in power in the world should stop fucking everyone's lives up for no reason. Sorry if this offends
Speech to text has been a thing for decades and it works. Why do they now feel the need to run it through the LLM inaccuracy generator as well?
(YES I USED TO WATCH FOOTBALL, I have layers.)
Don't watch that arm-breaking video if you still have trauma from the 1985 Joe Theismann incident.
(I realize many of you were not born then. Still, don't watch it. Or at least turn your sound down.)
Between this and several stories today of people using ChatGPT in completely asinine, unnecessary ways, I am a little bit despairing
I hate the future actually
One was a minister and carpenter, the other was a "laborer" according to the census but I think it was more like "mean drunk who occasionally found work."
