"Drain the swamp" just got even funnier

Public men's restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.

My grandfather, who is generally a good-natured but immature man, really ate up everything Fox News spewed at him about Trump. He and my grandmother always play the pity card that I don't visit them, but they've been supremely unpleasant to be around for the last 8 years because they can't leave politics out of it.

He wore a MAGA hat to my nephew's 3rd birthday party and explicitly stated that he did it to make others uncomfortable. So no gramps, I don't really want to visit you these days.

Now I'm fairly sleep deprived at the moment so it could just be me, but I can't parse your first paragraph at all, especially the second sentence.

I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time last week. It was just as stupid as I had always dreamed. 🥹

Using the most common definition of those born 1981-1996: Oldest millennials turn 44 this year, youngest turn 29. Next year we'll officially transition to "30s to mid 40s."

Yeah, I agree. This article paints a bit of a different picture than the initial ones. Idgaf what dispute two of my neighbors are having with each other, if one of them is drumming and loudly singing late at night I'm calling in a noise complaint, god damn.

I'll tell you what I'm not doing though:

1. Arson
2. Psychological torment leaving a pet skull in a burned home
3. Murder

Whoever killed Joss is fucked up, even if 1 and 2 aren't actually true (barbecue inside...?????). Regardless of how much of an ass Joss might have been as a neighbor.

He was trying to do everything he could to prevent Trump. That meant holding his tongue so as not to encourage people against strategic voting. It's a very dumb system we have, but it's not Bernie's fault we're in it.

Now that the general is over, he can speak his mind again. And probably a hint of getting ahead of the Democratic Party's inevitable blaming of the left for this loss rather than an ounce of introspection.

As I said in another thread where this was posted, that original post has the distinctive voice of ChatGPT. Could be another similar model, but I'd bet money that was written by an LLM.

Always sit, are you kidding? No way I'm peeing standing up with the lights off.

Standing for the pledge is not a requirement. Neither is saying it. To try to force students to do either is an infringement on free speech.

That race means American democracy is fully over. I already kinda think it is, but if that race happens there's no "maybe we'll come through this," we're just done for.

I'm someone who was raised Christian, learned a lot about the Christian Bible and its historical context, and is now very much not Christian because of that.

All of this comment feels like someone laying a lot of groundwork to justify cherry-picking opinions. It's about as meaningful as the catch-all excuse "God works in mysterious ways" when people are confronted with the problematic parts of Christian theology.

If the Bible can't be trusted, which it seems you agree about, then any use of it to justify hate and mistreatment is fundamentally flawed. Do you give this impassioned speech when you hear Christians use the book to justify their oppression of others? These days, particularly queer folk?

I, for one, am not particularly interested in deriving any part of my morality from the flawed "word" of a hateful murderous war god.

I didn't know that term either. Now that you've defined it, I'm trying to make sense of that commenter. The best I can come up with is "You're not allowed to call out Israel for murdering children because in the past they were persecuted for a wrongful claim also involving murdered children." Which is an absolute bonkers claim.

For those of us in the US, we're more likely to encounter the Spanish "verde."

I agree with your first paragraph, but unwinding that emergent behavior really can be impossible. It's not just a matter of taking spaghetti code and deciphering it, ML usually works by generating weights in something like a decision tree, neural network, or statistical model.

Assigning any sort of human logic to why particular weights ended up where they are is educated guesswork at best.

Fuck summer and heat. Thermoregulation is impossible for me in the summer and I'm miserable, winter I can be cozy every single day.

They claim Hillary lost because she went a little left and it is the fault of... left wing voters? Hmm.

"Ualabis"? Is that supposed to be "wallabies"?

As best I can tell from searching, that's kind of the Spanish word for "wallabies" (translate gives "ualabies"). Seems like a weird choice.
