Having children puts me in the minority where I work. I'd say maybe 30% have children, but it's never really discussed. I guess I've seen it elsewhere, but I assume this is a social pressure mostly aimed at women.

Nothing says, "I don't give a shit about you," like asking an LLM to respond for you. It's all just so over the giving top, it beggars belief.

Science has already unnaturally extended his life and I will never forgive it for that

I don't think anybody is making that argument. The 13 year old in the article was 8 when she agreed to Roblox's terms

To add to that, piracy in the Gulf of Aden has been heating up again for a decade at this point, and we've seen that other country's navies are very interested in keeping those waterways free. This is the sort of bullshit that could drag multiple parties in.

Isn't "tornado" even a Spanish word? They probably saw it and thought, "oh shit it's a tornado"

Exactly! Words are just sounds that convey particular ideas, so I think "larps" qualifies nicely

I thought that sort of thing was exclusive to motorcycles, as a sort of a, "What we're doing is inherently more dangerous and requires a different skill set," acknowledgement, but Jeeps are just... Cars.

Do you actually think that they're pretending to be badass? Isn't it more likely that they just thought it looked neat?

For me, most of the time these things come down to, "It's not what I would do in that situation," which is a bit ineffable, so it's easy to be annoyed by something that feels incorrect because I can't really explain why I feel that way.

Looks like they backed over it, laying the pole down, then drove forward, poking the pole through the undercarriage and standing it back up.

I know this is a shit post, but scribble dry erase marker over it.

Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.

Unbelievably, this is real advice I've heard from corporate AI experts.

Mentally ill person with a gun kills their daughter and these mfers are like "hmm, what can taco bell do about this?"

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That's not a weakness; that is sausage.

I think in most cases where this administration seems to have a good idea it's important to remember that it's likely designed to keep them in power.

A national database that the trump admin controls will 100% be exploited for their own gain, just like every other aspect of government is being exploited for their gain now.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Robert A. Heinlein

That's quite the list. I think the conversation is more nuanced, especially since the quote seems so anti-specialization, but in general I think it's correct. Even so, none of these things are really specializations/ exclusive of each other.

Which is crazy, because we have a second amendment right for that very reason. smh

They practically only have a work address when they're overseas. In some cases it's literally the only way to get things sent to you. Why anyone knows or cares is another question entirely.

Excuse me, I'm unfamiliar with David "I Love Mass Murder" Cleary, aka Soldier F. Would you mind tell me a little bit about this mass murderer, David Cleary?
