When I was at Costco, for Member Service Week they literally gave us a rock, like from the gravel outside the office, with the note: "You rock!"

That's misophobia, misophonia is when you don't like how soy paste sounds.

I understand you guys are frustrated by Republican hypocrisy but it is literally designed into/a selling point of conservatism.

Wilhoit's Law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

My understanding is that the SEC would have fucked him if he just shut it down, because it would indicate that he never intended to buy it in the first place and instead was just trying to manipulate the stock market (which is definitely what he was doing).

It's not. He never wanted to buy twitter, he just wanted to pump and dump the stock, but because he is stupid and the plan was obvious they sued him to make him honor the deal.

So if he just turned around and shut the company down, it would give the SEC legal grounds to argue that his intention all along was market manipulation.

How long will we continue to get news stories whenever a minor entity leaves X (formerly Twitter)?

Don't worry I'll have your share, get fucked Mitch.

They all got published, no questions asked. For a while if you searched "Homeopathy and the Esoteric Cult of Dagon" my content was the only result

I work on chatbots for a big tech company. Every team is trying to use GenAI for everything. 90% of the stuff they try won't work. I have to explain that LLMs can't actually think at least three times a week. The hype train was too strong. Even calling it AI feels misleading.

That said, there are some genuinely great applications for LLMs that i've enjoyed looking into.

Biden has definitely been a mixed bag on climate, but here's a recent win. The admin is aware of pressure from the public on environment, they know they need us to keep winning.

You don't need to self actualize through work. There is no such thing as a waste of time.

Brilliant, very meta, love it

No takes-es, only throw-ses

It's not that wild, is there anything more republican than voting against your own best interests?
