That is a fascinating rumor, but not at all true. Good on you for being skeptical. Otherwise, I personally know all FDA employees plus a mysterious eleventh.

As bad as Trump is, being not-Trump does not equal good. Politics in the US is not a bad/good, Trump/not-Trump binary. Even if the two political parties in power would like the masses to believe it.

A 2-way bridge would require reddit’s participation. They have no incentive to do that, every move they’ve been making is in the opposite direction.

HP printers and their ink cartridges. They managed to make an even more horrifying offering with their subscription model based on pages printed per month.

Remember me? No one after a full generation turns over. My name is on reports and records and patents that will last until the collapse of the US and probably longer, so my name will be found occasionally. But no reason to remember it specifically from among the other 8.2 billion people alive at the same time.

As for how much data will be collected and saved. I wouldn’t count on anything lasting for long that doesn’t have a specific retention policy.

Not too bad for AI slop. Several minor inaccuracies and three major ones. Plus the glaring absence of certain elements.

C- for the bot; I think you can do better, little buddy. Would not publish for consumption by humans.

How very post 2001 / Windows XP SP2 of you.

Very cultural dependent. I’ve been quickly recognized as an American because we tend to smile with our teeth exposed more often than other cultures.

Someone DM’d me my home address on a pseudonymous account I thought had no ties to my IRL identity.

Those things had a cascade effect.

API change > 3rd party tools moderators depended on no longer functioned > mods quit because they could no longer manage the subs effectively > the one sub I spent most of my reddit time on is now unrecognizable, filled with alt-right nut bars, 3/4 of which I assume are bots.

I don’t want a bridge because reddit today is not at all the reddit I used to get some entertainment from. Or I guess go ahead with a bridge, I’ll just block it and go about my merry way.

Yep. As if women would never perceive men as a threat based on the same signals men would use to perceive threat.

Men, logical and hunter warrior manly men. Women, attention seekers. Therefore, stare down pretty women to show manly manness.

Alpha bro evo psych is so wild.

I can’t remember the last time I had to print something out on dead trees. Pass.

I already carry a mouse with me when I travel because I hate laptop touchpads. So double pass on an even smaller area of integrated touchpad/spacebar.

If an author used AI as a tool and ended up with a good book, I have no issues with that. There is more to writing a book than spitting out one draft.

I don’t believe LLM AI in its current state is capable of writing a good book without heavy guidance and editing by a human, not to mention the world building, research, and story boarding that isn’t a part of putting final word on paper, so I’m not worried about it.

Book review sites have already been manipulated for years (Goodreads, owned by Amazon) so I moved elsewhere (Storygraph, Bookwyrm) before generative AI became a concern.

At best: they need to experience more of the world. At worst: they’re racist.

Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck

I don’t go to BK regularly, but can confirm my experience with their Impossible burger was also disappointing.

… you want to tell me how awesome and life-changing Useless Product NX900 is?

Well shucks, please send me your black queer mom affiliate link so I can get in on this.

Edit: what a minute, this looks like a hetero white guy affiliate link. Dang it, tricked me again.

It screams white person lying about their identity to justify some whackadoo comment. “I can say this racist/homophobic thing bc I’m a black queer momma of 2. If you can’t handle me, you’re bigoted”.

… sure they are …

I enjoy parts of it and throw out what I don’t.

I like inviting friends or family over for dinner. I don’t like “traditional” holiday foods so I don’t serve them.

I like spending time with family. I am not religious so will go do something else while some family members go to religious services.

I enjoy a party with friends and cocktails. I do not enjoy super loud parties late into the night. So I’m going to a smaller party tonight and will be home and asleep before midnight.

Got my bachelor’s, mostly on scholarship and about a quarter covered by loans. Now I’m working for a company that paid for a master’s degree. I might do an MBA, but no rush. I would feel very differently about it if I had to pay tuition myself.

I’m satisfied with my career trajectory. I’d be just fine without ever going for an MBA. I enjoy graduate-level studies and the people it puts me in contact with though; it can be a lot easier than undergrad.
