I think that a lot of those people likely live in a very car dependent, suburban area, and therefore don’t get any regular interaction with people outside of their immediate family.

I live in a city, so I have regular infractions with people that I know when I’m out and about: I pop into the butcher shop, coffee shop or green grocer and talk to the employees I know. I walk the dog, and run into friends and acquaintances that live the next neighborhood over, etc. People in rural areas usually have similar sorts of relationships with people in the area.

Contrast that with the suburbs, where neighbors may know each other to say hello to, but not much past that, and it’s hard to build any kind of relationship with the barista at the drive-through Starbucks or any employees at the local Kroger superstore.

Because they can choose whose peepee, if any, that they want to touch. And yes, they choose not to touch said podcaster.

Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

In case anybody is wondering why he’s making a big deal out of it.

As to why emoji feels the need to make his own “anti-woke” AI, it’s because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet “forced diversity quotas.” I’m not kidding.

A redundant concept.

No, crypto is never the solution for anything. Its use cases are limited to drugs and scams, which are sometimes the same things.

That probably voids the entire warranty or something ridiculous like that.

That’s actually pretty convenient; my old landlord always charged a fee for large furniture/appliance/child removal.

Still the same hot take comments based on an article headline, though.

You could confess to the police, and then still plead not guilty. As others have said, you can later change your plea if you and your lawyer decide that’s the best course of action.

Sort of. No matter what happens, Republicans aren’t going anywhere. Democracy might.

Those Ant Hill Kids episodes were rough.

Last Podcast on the Left. Cryptids, UFOs, serial killers, cults, history of bloody incidents, and other true crime, but it’s a comedy podcast.

There’s nothing sneaky about it.

I’m still terrified small town morons will end up passing this antidemocratic bill.

Having read Man’s Search For Meaning myself, I think one would have to have serious brainworms to take that message away from the book.

The message that I will away was that under the worst circumstances, you have to dig deep down within yourself to find a reason to keep going. It might be hard to understand that message if you’ve never really experienced any kind of difficulty in your life.

That said, I often apply the opposite of Hanlon’s razor when talking about GOP operatives: never attribute to stupidity that which can be ascribed to malice.

This was exactly what they argued during covid when they wanted to open things up early. Elderly and immunocompromised people don’t contribute to the economy.

Also no Three Body Problem. Must be outdated.

So he was running unopposed? That happens all the time.

I’ve been lifting about a year, and for me there is a big satisfaction in improvement, especially when I can break through a plateau that I’ve been stuck on.

There are also some lifts that a really enjoy while I’m doing them, whereas others feel more like a chore.

They didn’t say anything about not helping Ukraine in their defense effort, just that a shit ton of that aid is going to a militarized Nazi mercenary army. That could be a problem down the road

It’s a complicated situation, and people like you who try to paint it as a binary stifle any actual discussion on the topic.
