This is not just “using the internet,” though. AI use ≠ finding some conspiracy-fueled rant on some long-forgotten message board. ChatGPT does not scour the internet or have any sort of meaningful sanity checks on the pattern of words it generates. It doesn’t “know” what it’s saying, nor does it “care.”

If he had done even the most basic of generic internet searches, he would have discovered the DASH diet.

The inclusion of this goober’s use of AI is yet another example why using what is essentially a reinforcement and pattern-generation engine is one of the dumbest things a person can do. It doesn’t seem to matter how many experts remind people of its limitations, so all that remains is pointing out every time somebody does something stupid, so people can at least get a reminder that the other end of the conversation is dumber than they are and only an illusion of intelligence.

You have to create a second partition or use a Virtual Machine. Look for dual booting instructions, if you want to install alongside your current distro.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.

I hate how words don’t mean anything to these people, and their shitbrained followers eat it up.

You can find the video interview. I’ll spoil it for you: He didn’t say he would prefer the human race endure following that very concerning pregnant pause. Rather, he hemmed and hawed.

Thiel isn’t just a transhumanist, he’s an accelerationist, and he has a fuckton of money.

Somebody should check their PCs and internet history; after all, name a better duo than Conservatives and Projection.

Wanted to mention that you should be able to find the EP on Spotify and YouTube Music now, as well, if you prefer one of those.

Look for “threaded inserts,” probably something with a coarse thread. These will give you a mounting point for machine screws.

If you’re worried about using just the four provided bolts (I would be), use multiple inserts or regular screws to attach a board at multiple points, then use the inserts on the board.

So glad you liked it! I’m just a fan, but they’re seriously my favorite band recently, and if you cared to do so, I know they would appreciate kind words. They’re 100% indie and supported by the community, and they love it when people love the art they make! They also have a Discord, if that’s your jam.

For what it’s worth, downvotes don’t show up on my instance, so people can downvote all they like, and I’ll never know the difference. Maybe they didn’t like that I cross-posted in multiple places so more people could see it. I dunno.

Anyway, enjoy the EP!

Bruh, as an American, have y’all (politicians) learned nothing from our slide into authoritarianism? JFC, you can practically see the fingers of clandestine fascists pulling the strings to make you (politicians) dance.

Veela also streams on Twitch, so if you want to watch a professional make music live, it’s a fun community (she also simultaneously streams on YouTube, but the YouTube delay is really far behind Twitch).

No. I don’t have any studies on hand, but the data that I’m aware of says that stevia is one of the small few that actually helps your gut biome. However, too high of a quantity can lead to other issues (I think related to the heart).

Man, remember all the custom cupcake bakers who were clamoring for an AI to take their craft?

Me neither. Billionaires are a scourge upon society.

Even after this gets reported thousands of times in various regions and the only thing that changes is whether people see Jesus, Grandma, or Shiva… aside from that little detail they remain uniform.

This is why. They don’t remain uniform. You’re, I think unintentionally, glossing over the details. People aren’t just seeing the version of their familiar cultural deity but otherwise experiencing the same thing. They all have different experiences when it comes down to the details, and they conspicuously seem to match cultural norms.

So what is more likely happening is a thing that’s unique to human biology, not an indicator of something “more.”

Another thing is that personal testimony is not good enough to prove almost anything. I can tell you I have a red dragon in my garage. I can even believe it with all my being. But my earnest belief doesn’t make it real for anyone else.

Lastly, it’s particularly hard to study, even if we accept the premise that there’s something there to study. “Here, dying person. Let me stick a bunch of electrodes on your brain as you kick the bucket. I’m sure your spouse and children wouldn’t mind if we poke and prod a bit as you pass. Also, they can’t be here. It might taint the data.” I’m sure you can appreciate the ethical difficulty in studying the dying.

Personally, there’s still plenty about this life we don’t know about, and it’s the one thing most of us can agree exists. I generally have no problem with people believing in an afterlife, but I have no reason or objective evidence to believe in an afterlife, either, and it’s not my burden to prove.

Except in this case, it was a bunch of old C devs who aren’t just resistant but openly hostile to change, and they’d rather bully people into silence than try to progress.

I never said it would. What you are asking for is authoritarianism, and nobody but a few wins in that system.

It will always be a fight. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting for, because the people trying to regress back to 1850 certainly seem to think it is.

Okay, so don’t let them. Work to ensure we take that step forward. Join a campaign. Canvas for a candidate. Get your friends signed up and pumped to vote. Look up any relevant laws regarding voting (early voting, mandated paid time off, etc.) and make sure people know about them.

But most importantly, vote. Vote often. Vote strategically. You may not always win by trying your hardest, but you will surely lose by doing nothing.

That’s because it won’t. Elections aren’t a panacea for society’s problems. Each election is a stepping stone, not the end goal. We get to decide if we take a step forward or fall backwards.

I live in Texas, so the best we can hope to do is win by attrition.

I like your optimism, but Authoritarianism is, unfortunately, an alternative that can “work” for decades. It sucks for basically everyone who doesn’t have power, but it is nonetheless viable and a path we are one election away from going down.

Yes, good…keep enticing the braindead among us to move to Florida. Surely, it won’t be wiped out by a Category 6 hurricane and rising sea levels…
