Of all the places “AI” absolutely does not belong, in the hands of university students and professors has to be close to the top of the list. What would a place that is supposed to be a center of human learning and founding critical thinking skills need with a product explicitly advertising itself as a shortcut to doing the work and “thinking critically” for you?

Butlerian jihad now please

My mother is unshakable southern Baptist and deeply narcissistic woman born in Alabama and raised in Florida, the moment I see the shadow of emotional manipulation in any relationship, especially if it’s at work or somewhere I can’t just walk away from, I turn into fucking Blade:

“You obviously do not know, who you are FUCKING WITH”

Obviously I’m not gonna hold my breath at this point but if this sort of shit happens to enough deployed/active duty military people I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some mutinies

My exact reaction was “I mean, he’s not wrong but he’s still an asshole”

Really really hoping for a Sergei Eisenstein to suddenly become insanely relevant again

I met a woman at an airport bar at LaGuardia in 2017, and after talking to her for a bit I learned she was a lesbian and then subsequently a Trump voter and supporter. I’m a cis straight white guy and the sentence “oh no I fuck women but I voted Trump because I care about my money” still makes me want to wretch 9 years later.

For every moment where I feel a sense of solidarity emerging in the general US population I hear someone say that a VP of an oil and gas company is just ‘looking out for their family’ or something else equally bootlicker. I’m legit worried that even this nightmare reality hasn’t been enough to wake most people from their cognitive dissonance

It’s an outrageously optimistic hope of mine that there will be any students around to study history

The entire city of Atlanta just marked you as an enemy

Oof condolences on the time there. The first time I ever heard of Dublin was when I first drove down from north Georgia on spring break, because I’m old my dad was giving me hand written directions, and he specifically told me to not stop in Dublin for gas or food. At one point I believe it was one of the meth capitals of the South

I’m from GA, currently in WA, I’d say the same to every single Washingtonian

He’s probably the closest thing to a Bond style supervillain that exist, if alchemy were real he would be trying to create a global transmutation circle to sacrifice humanity and gain immortality

You’re historically right, but I also suspect the US is in a much much more precarious position in terms of actual military power right now. Stronger still for sure, there’s a bunch of nukes lying around. But given the expenditure on Iran I think the reputation is carrying most of that weight

I TOLD PIERCE A THOUSAND TIMES

For sure, wasn’t trying to correct you really, just weighing in

Damn I somehow memory hulled Mr Wizard, that dude was the shit

I can think of a few I’d rank below Benji and above Ergodon

Im a transplant from Atlanta, every visitor I have had has said within 20 minutes of me picking them up from SeaTac some form of the following sentiment “do they not know how to merge out here?”

Yall will if you wage it against Waffle House, only cat 5 hurricanes and F5 tornados win a fight with them

Goddamn it I didn’t even then about that

I did specifically say the leaders and aristocracy of apartheid South Africa, which I would hope to your point implies something different than a citizen of South Africa.

But if they sympathize with Rhodesia they should catch the noose
