Minus the whole “memory erasing” thing, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is shockingly similar to how my marriage played out in terms of how my personality and hers shifted over time.

Ah yes, the old “I’m rubber you’re glue” defence. Classic…

The way that he has absolutely vanished from most media attention says that NOBODY misses Charlie Kirk. Least of all his wife.

The shooter certainly didn’t miss him.

Its entirely possible (in fact likely) that he actually believes that because that’s what he’s being told, while his enablers are getting completely different conversations from the doctors.

Respectfully I’m on the other side of that, but I see what you’re saying. I hate skeumorphism and (IMO) flat is a much more professional looking design motif. BUT…that flat has to come with just enough drop-shadow to be able to delineate the layers, otherwise yes, its too flat and indistinguishable.

Side bars on anything throw me off because they break the horizontal symmetry of whatever they’re a part of.

Old Ubuntu when the taskbar was vertical on the left, browsers that have the default bookmark bar on the left or the right. Apps where all of the dialogues are bunched to one side, offsetting the main workspace.

Maybe I’m just Slightly on the spectrum, I don’t know, never been diagnosed. But not having my workspace centred and symettrical kind of breaks my brain a bit.

The reason the “kill-switch” wasn’t made clear originally was because it literally didn’t exist until users very vocally tool them where to shove their AI crap.

It was added on afterwards.

He could have ended Paul at any point and chose to spend the first five rounds toying with his food. It was probably the most fun he’s had in the ring in years.

In the realm of “narcissists getting their reality check”, this is up there with Rousey vs Holm 2015.

It’s mind boggling to me that in today’s world, TNG would likely never have gotten a season 2 pickup.

Asshole kept getting into the ring with stumblebums so often that he got high on his own supply; started thinking he could actually go toe to toe with a professional. There’s a screenshot out there of the exact moment that he realized his mistake and it is fucking glorious.

Book was one of the best of the Bachman books. I really enjoyed it.

Given the average intelligence of most humans, I’d be willing to wager that most elephants are smarter than that.

Why the hate on Honeydew? Honeydew is awesome!

I’ll admit, sometimes you get a completely tasteless one. But get one at the sweet spot of ripeness…my god…it’s ambrosia.

tl/dr - Someone a while ago mentioned this, and it’s the one that I personally believe, is that the “MRIs” and the hospital trips are for monthly infusions of lecanemab. Which is why at times he seems cogent (at least when graded on the trump scale) and later in the same month he’ll be a raving lunatic. It’s the time between his dosages.

Just another goddamned nepo baby, then? I knew it.

ALL OF THEM

This is the right answer. Because the truth is, you can’t have a fandom without passion. And people that are passionate enough to consider themselves part of a fandom community (regardless of it’s source) are passionate enough to be vocal and opinionated about it. And there will ALWAYS be some who crank the whine up to 11 and annoy everyone else.

It’s not an issue with any one particular fan community, it’s a feature of all of them.

It’s not a stereotype if it’s true, though! /s

On a more serious note, coming from an immigrant family, you can see it very clearly in a lot of those old Eurpoean cultures (Portugal, spain, etc…) The men work, the women (seem) subservient, but honestly, without them, their husbands are absolutely useless at bills, banking, groceries, literally anything that isn’t getting up and going to work to make money.

Most men would absolutely fall apart without their wives because while they can dress for themselves, they sure as hell can’t shop for themselves, etc…

I’m not saying that that’st he modern convention. It isn’t at all. It’s changing. But there’s still a tonne of older women who come in and (half-jokingly) have to buy a bunch of premade meals for their husband because she has to go on the road for a few days and he is useless for that sort of stuff on his own.

It’s only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called “A.I” the time of day.

Well…fuck Udemy I guess.

One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my “fun money” that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I’m a more well rounded person because of it.

And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM’s cosplaying as A.I.
