“Underscores the complex relationship” is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.

There’s a difference between submissiveness in sex scenarios and submissiveness in the rest of life, though. I don’t think wanting the former means somebody has toxic masculinity.

He’s talking about deporting millions of illegal immigrants, which will probably require putting them in a camp at least temporarily.

It’s remarkable to see people still denying that Trump is a fascist. He tried to use violence to overthrow the government. He’s a fascist.

Good point. I don’t want to date trans people, but I wouldn’t want to use an app that purposely excluded them. I’d rather occasionally have to go “oh sorry thanks for telling me” than restrict my dating pool to bigots.

Have you been on a dating app? The experience is extremely gender specific. Men spend their time sending out as many likes as are available, and women spend their time sorting through likes they get.

June is a great time to go back. I always dream of being a snow bird and just living in Seattle when the weather is great (June through Sept), then going somewhere warm and deserty for the winter.

Having lived there, Houston to College Station to Waco is 100% ugly. Really all of East Texas. I admit the hill country is pretty decent.

I moved to Seattle, though. Most Texans don’t know what they’re missing.

Seriously. They still don’t have a way to increase the font size on the default app last I checked. How is such a basic feature STILL lacking?

Probably very few. The bias for these companies is in false negatives, not false positives, since false positives create controversy when students appeal a ruling.

Badly. This burns my laziest students every semester. Chatgpt just adds nonsense citations.

I have a POS HP from nine years ago and the battery still lasts two hours. Just depends on the battery size I guess

The key thing is that it’s not our culture, it’s the material interests of the rich that elevate psychopaths to power. The culture follows.

I’d bet the majority of us are millennials, though.

Does ublock origin even work with chrome on YouTube anymore? I switched to Firefox a couple months ago because, even after updating ublock origin, YouTube still detected that I was using an ad blocker and refused to show me content.

In the US people working the tills are usually TOO nice and you don’t want to make smalltalk with them. Only in NYC have I encountered rude till people, and even there, most are pretty pleasant.

Apparently commercially available solar panels are around 20% efficiency.
