Lmao at that last part my neighbors voted for all of this and are apparently incapable of seeing any kind of problem with anything the administration does so I feel like I’d have ac tough time getting them on board with a food co-op thing
I make an intentional point not to say please and thank you to these things, voice assistants like Alexa, and other computers that want to talk to me. Do the people who insist on thanking these things also say you’re welcome to the self checkout machine at Walmart when it says “thank you for shopping at Walmart?” It’s absurd.
If I understand correctly this is essentially how condensed models like Deepseek work and how they’re able to attain similar performance on much cheaper hardware. If all still goes through the LLM but LLM is a lot lighter because it has this sort of thing built in. That’s all a vast oversimplification.
I am also curious. I’m spoiled by having access to Bluebeam at work and I have yet to find any software that comes close to the same ease of functionality for editing PDFs, even for extremely basic things like splitting, merging, and rotating pages.
You do realize even most people who report that they aren’t religious on polls also believe in magic, right? Pew Research Polls found that 69% of people who listed their religion as “no religion” believe in God and 13% of them specifically believe in the Christian God. So if 28% of people in America list their religion as “none” and only 29%* of those people actually don’t believe in God, you’re left with only 8.7% of the population. Regardless of your personal beliefs, the numbers are really, really bad if you’re completely unwilling to work with anyone who is religious or spiritual. 8.7% of the population is a nuisance, not a movement.
*2% didn’t answer the question
I feel like if you had put half the time and effort it took to do this into improving yourself and going outside you could have at least gone on some dates with real women at this point. Talking to an AI chatbot is not the same as human connection and will only lead to further depression as you realize that no matter how much you “love” your AI girlfriend she will never truly love you back because she can’t think or feel, and fundamentally isn’t real.
I fantasized about forming a tenant’s union when I was still renting but the people I talked to about it were completely unfamiliar with the concept and thought it was stupid so I gave up. Now the company I used to rent from has bought up pretty much all the apartment complexes in the area and people who rent from them are complaining about immoral and illegal stuff they’re doing but won’t consider actually doing anything about it. Anti union sentiment is deep in America and I don’t have any hope for the American public to do anything to help themselves.
As someone who lives in the US what the fuck am I supposed to do now? Just shop at bougie grocery stores and pray that those brands are still following some kind of standards? I don’t want to leave my home but I am worried it’s just going to keep getting worse and worse and I am too disabled to fight in a civil war if it comes to that.
Lmao this has the same energy as me learning about the concept of loaning money for interest at the same age and deciding to put it in action by lending my brother bells in Animal Crossing and deciding that he needed to pay me back twice what I had lent him, a fact that I only informed him of after I gave him the money. We had a big fight about it and our mom had to get involved. Good times lol.
Not only that, the establishment Democrat will win the primary due to the progressive vote being split over infighting among 50 different primary candidates. That’s how we ended up with Biden.
You saw this a lot in Trump’s first term too. Essentially they’re pissed that the world still sucks even though their guy got elected and it’s breaking their brains because they think the problem is that Trump hasn’t killed all the minorities or made women property or whatever it is they think will fix the world and that all hope is lost.
I had never watched the movies or read the books as a kid because my parents thought they would make me turn to satanism and so I was horrified watching a friend play lego harry Potter and I see this anti semitic stereotype hoarding gold so I was like “bro what is that” and he was like “oh yeah that’s a goblin they run the wizard banks” and I was like “so wait a race of evil creatures with giant hook noses run all the banks in Harry Potter? That’s sketchy as fuck” and he was like “Huh… Never noticed it before but yeah that’s messed up”
The commenter is referring to the fact that sending someone to a foreign concentration camp in a country they aren’t actually from is fundamentally different from “deportation” and that using that term only serves to bolster the regime.
Yeah Hasbro will just dumb it down and ruin it
It doesn’t count unless it goes to the government. Taxes and exploitation are good as long as they come from private companies instead of the government because freedom is a vibe rather than an actual set of circumstances.
This is a braindead take. The word “empire” has a lot of cultural baggage with Russian nationalism and it is totally different than say “the Spanish Empire” or “The British Empire” because when Russians say “The Russian Empire” it is specifically referring to an idea within Russian nationalism that Russia is the successor state to Rome and all of the cultural and religious ideas that come with that. The idea is that Moscow is the “Third Rome” with the first being, well, Rome, the second being Constantinople, and after the fall of Constantinople, it went to Moscow because of the unique connection of the Rus’ with the Byzantine empire and Eastern Christianity. To use the term “Russian Empire” would be a huge boost to Russian nationalists and accomplish nothing substantial for anyone else.
Ngl I totally understand this one. When you’re Russia it’s not like you have a lot of options for international partners and the Taliban are straight up the government of Afghanistan. It’s kind of awkward to try to make trade deals with one of the only countries still willing to trade with you when all of its leaders and officials are considered members of a banned terrorist organization. I suppose this is an issue any time there is a revolution, once the radicals are the actual government everyone has to re-evaluate how to deal with them.

I hadn’t learned about repayment periods or anything I just said he had to pay me back double, I didn’t think about interest rates or anything but yeah I definitely was a loan shark.
