Karma is clearly taking care of at least his playing career, hopefully he's lost most of that contract money to the victims too, but somehow I doubt that.

Like I just don't get their philosophy. Foreign languages were always my worst subject but if some isn't speaking English I dont really care doesn't bother me. And as bad as I am at languages getting taught a phrase here and there by someone makes me happy and usually makes them very happy if I reuse it with the down the road.

Absolutely. I've softened my stance a lot recently. I think local llm are fine. The data has already been crunched the books destroyed and the water used so I may as well play with one locally. If you set realistic uses as a tool its fine. Need a quick script great at that. Summarize some notes, or search through them also great. Not really into image gen or anything else but anything helping me get dumb stuff out of the way for just myself its a W. I'm not down with using it for public facing stuff.

I remember getting told not to use wikipedia as a source and that was pretty obvious. We also got told it was a great jumping off point and that the listed sources could be used. I feel like Wikipedia is the only thing I trust anymore.

Nah empathy is for the weak.

I think that means they could rip out your eye balls to prevent you from seeing ads.

I 100% believe this. The video streamers are getting too greedy and pushing out too much subpar content. When it was affordable and easy to find what you want streaming was great. Now it's expensive and stuff in on 12 different platforms.

Also most of what I watch is older so everyone on the creative and production side has been paid the only ones making money at this point are the studio fat cats.

I used to sail the seas with great passion about 10-15 years ago. Then music, and video streaming came along and was fairly priced and I happily became a landlubber. Over the past year I've begun sailing again because all the services want a slice of a pie that's just not that big. Sailing is better than it ever was. The boats are much larger, faster and even look and sound better.

I've seen lots of videos of good guys without guns saving people from bad guys with guns, but I've never seen a "good guy" with a gun do jack shit.

When I was a kid the old people in my family all chain smoked when we went out to eat. I hated eating with them because of that. I seriously thought my aunt was 15 years older than my mom because of her chain smoking and alcoholism aged her. Found out after she died she was only 3 years older.

What I remember most is coming back from concerts reeking of cigarettes and having to immediately throw my clothes in the wash and take a shower. Going to shows got so much more enjoyable after they banned indoor smoking at clubs.

Sounds like he's threatening to murder her to me. That should be time behind bars.

It's like a poorly written distopian scifi novel... but it's real.

I'm pretty sure Trump/MAGA hate all PoC.

I worked with a dude who loved "ramen" but had never had it from a restaurant. He didn't seem like he knew how to cook particularly well, and I'm not sure if he'd ever even left the suburbs he was born in.

One day he was talking about how excited he was to go to a real ramen shop over the weekend. So next time I see him I asked how it went. He sighed and said he got a veggie ramen because he found out the meat ones were "made with bone" and he was grossed out by it. I could only say "of course, that's how you make good soup." Then I had to explain how you make stock or split pea with ham soup, etc. I think I ruined soup for him.

Thats how the jury i was on went but it was before body cams. Basically they said dude was "exchanging small packages for money" implying he was dealing drugs. The cops claimed he tossed the "small packages" when he drove off. They never collected these "small packages" so how do i know what they were?

We all thought dude was probably guilty but that the police work was too shoddy to convict. Cop looked pissed on the way out of court.

The most ridiculous part about this is he stated the first shot was a warning shot in attempts to "start a dialog."

No way am I dating a Catholic. I will not be a "cash cow" for their weird religion.

I think in 1980 3.7 GB of data seemed further away then a flying car.

I've been playing guitar for 25 years and I kinda suck. I've forgotten everything I know about music theory, I don't know any songs and my fingers just don't move that fast. But I enjoy coming home and making some noise for 15-20 minutes. I just move my hands around and make a lot of bad sounds until I start making a good sounding riff then I'm done.
