I stopped going to church when I realized how hypocritical the people who attended churches are. "Love thy neighbor, except those gays, brown people, liberals, pro-choicers( except when I need, or my teenage daughter needs an abortion), anyone who lives on the west coast, drives a Tesla, eats an avocado, believes in vaccines, voted for Biden, didn't vote for Trump, wants raise minimum wage, oh and definitely those climate change believers. They can all go rot in hell. 'Merica!!!! Fuckin Yeehaww!! Pew pew pew!!!"

This guys a pastor and I figured this out when I was 15...I'm 41.

Reddit is down

Reply in thread

And it was so valuable and useful because we, the former redditors, made it that way. They're ruining the hard (and free) work people did over those 15 years to make it useful. The good thing is it's been shown to be entirely replaceable, and made better by taking control out of corporate hands.

The special (and valuable) thing about Reddit was its passionate users. Take that away and what's left?

ChatGPT gets code questions wrong 52% of the time

Any one of us who actually codes/scripts knows ChatGPT spits out hot garbage when asked to produce anything beyond maybe a single short one or two line code snippet or bash/powershell command. Like the article said the AI lacks context of what you're trying to do. It will confidently spit out either completely wrong or made up code with commands that don't even exist.

Also, this will go really fucking well. Don't give them any ideas.

While technically correct,

I'm old enough to remember when we were all gonna get cancer and die by being fried with UV rays because we were making huge holes in the ozone by dumping metric fucktons of CFCs into the atmosphere. I also remember there being a huge push that we stop doing the thing that was causing the problem, you know before we all die from cancer.

Saving the ozone, and therefore climate wasn't in the constitution then either, but we (at least as far as the US's involvement) did it because it was the right goddamn thing to do.

We shouldn't have to have children essentially begging the government to make decisions to protect their future. Who keeps electing these assholes?

Republicans are enemies of liberty

Used to call myself Libertarian at one point. Then I grew up and realized most "Libertarians" are a group of morons who would get eaten by the wealthy if the world suddenly switched over to their ideal "Libertarian" society. You think the gap is bad between the rich and poor now? Let "Libertarian" ideals run amok for a decade....

Twitter locked behind login page.

I will never understand these platforms doing this. The whole reason they became popular was because you could see what everyone was saying on them. It drove traffic to them and in turn ad revenue and more users. Reddit closing their api is basically the same. Only Facebook gets away with that kind of crap because of the nature of what it is and how it's used.

Not that I'm complaining.

What self-professed 'centrists' sound like

You can be a "free speech" advocate without having one iota of Nazi sympathies. I'm all for free speech, particularly people like Nazi sympathizers. It lets us know who they are, where they are, the people they associate with, and if needed, who needs severe ass beating. Having "free speech" doesn't exclude you from the consequences of using "free speech."
