What a legend. MN resident here, and Somalis get so much shit here the last few years it's shameful. In my anecdotal experience, they seem like such a kind and peaceful people. Republicans are currently trying to find any excuse to deport one of our US reps (Omar). This timeline is insane.

"unskippable"

I haven't seen an ad on YouTube for years, with 2 simple browser plugins. Assuming you're on a PC:

Ublock Origin Sponsor Block

If you're using chrome, you already fucked up.

But that's not masturbation...?

Caffeine? For ADHDers? Idk about the rest of you, but that doesn't help me accomplish anything. Anger in the other hand ..

I did this just over a year ago. I expected it not to change much. It was surprisingly simple. The only thing that changed is I am no longer annoyed with windows, and am actually enjoying my OS. Makes my hardware seem much faster too.

Congrats, and welcome!

With extra steps

They would go out of business immediately. Not enough customers.

From the link:

Addressing abusive behavior toward our models

We’ve added a prohibition on sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models. The policy update is meant to apply only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose. It does not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research.

This addition aligns with a step we've already taken, allowing Claude models to end rare conversations with persistently abusive users on Claude.ai and Claude Code. Such abuse is the main focus of this update; Claude’s ability to end these interactions will remain the primary enforcement mechanism.

Looks like it is talking about the model, not humans....

That was the original intent, yes. Then they were tainted by greed and now most of them are in place before anyone lives in the neighborhood, so owners have no choice if they want to live there. Many are owned and operated by private companies that profit off petty fines like this. I once got a letter threatening a fine because I parked my car in my driveway and it had expired tabs. This was during early covid when the DMV was slower than usual. I almost lost my shit.

Check out this episode of Last week tonight if you wanna get more upset.

Last Week Tonight HOAs

You're funny. It's 2025, words no longer have any meaning.

It used to make me mad. Now it just makes me sad.

I can see this I suppose. I've never been one to enjoy talking or conversing in general, so I guess I'm more disposed to silence.

I always related with the talking heads lyric "say something once, why say it again?" Lol

liberal hick towns Didn't know that was a thing. Where do you live?!

Well ... what is it then? If you don't tell me I'm gonna keep pronouncing it with my Minnesotan accent!

Interesting. I feel almost the opposite. I am also not in a relationship, but almost never feel lonely and have no desire to share most things with anyone. Having little experience I can't say for sure, but it almost would seem like a chore to me to have those conversations. Probably explains why I'm usually single, haha

That's a good one. I heard that the same time as my personal favorite

"Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?"

::: spoiler spoiler "Because it was dead" :::

Just close it before washing. Like a muzzle.

Mitch Hedberg spotted in the wild. Have an upvote.

Uh, how do you figure that?

Also, who brings a shit glass camping?

"It’s not clear why the suspect stabbed the victim, but police are investigating. Officers are reviewing videos."

I can't tell if they say these types of things to be cautious about jumping to unknown conclusions (good journalism) or they're being willfully obtuse.

I'm not sure why he did it either, but reading that article I have a good guess.
