Always appreciate the Catholics: quick to moralize on any subject except their own church’s sanctioning of child rape.

He’s not wrong this time though.

Donald is such a pussy ass bitch.

Really hope he wins. I wish I could vote for him.

One more independent vote in the Senate is one more vote towards actual change.

Yeah, it’s nothing particularly special IMHO. The best feature I’ve found in using it is that, for Microsoft products in particular, it can tell me capabilities of certain things I didn’t know previously when I present it with a problem.

Search engines used to do that before they got enshittified.

The closest facsimile I have in my work is occasionally running an Excel formula I’ve written through Copilot in order to find a formatting error or to help fix an Access query, but If fundamentally understand what I’m doing, can validate that the produced result is correct, and can fix it if I have to somewhere down the line.

It’s good you’ve found some simple ways to use it, but in the vast majority of work I do, it would take longer if I used AI because everything produced using an LLM has to be human-validated regardless, so I might as well not skip the important step of learning and understanding it.

I never use it to ideate and never use it for anything that isn’t eminently simple, like creating a sheet with x number of columns and rows or something like that. I hate the idea of the environmental impact and that helps me avoid it.

Yes.

Hate turning mine on and having to reset the input every single time because they’re trying to annoy me into connecting it to wireless.

Not with wars fought the Israeli way. Fair point.

I know schoolteachers who can’t get kids to pay attention to anything for more than 60 seconds, even when it’s literally written on the board in front of them. I don’t like age verification either, but people are burying their heads in the sand about how harmful these applications are to developing brains, and IMHO age verification is the lesser evil.

30% of their kids off of social media is a huge success.

You sound like a gun supporter in the US: “It’s not perfect and is, therefore, not worth doing at all.”

Absolutely right.

I’d love to see 30% reduction in kids being on these platforms globally. That would be a good start.

A 30% reduction of kids being exposed to these harmful platforms is a good thing and I’m glad to see it.

Also, all laws are imperfect, and expecting 100% efficacy is moronic.

Yes, but it’s not like that’s a rare trait for presidents or national leaders throughout the history of the US.

One of the only good things about Donald, historically, was his reticence for war and disentangling the US from foreign wars, such as with Syria and Afghanistan. All that’s out the window now that he needs a way to supercharge his grift before November and also to distract from his raping of kids.

Oh yeah.

And the irony is Donald ran on ending foreign wars and affordability whereas Democrats ardently insisted to voters that they had to say the things the billionaires wanted them to in order to win.

Americans aren’t keen on reading history. It’s partly how we ended up electing a man who paid smarter people to write his term papers.

Can’t say we’re particularly keen on empathy either.

True, and it will create a debt. As new advances are made, the US will be paying a premium to access them, thanks to the ‘bull in a china shop’ foreign policy of Donald and his cronies.

Clearly.

I would recommend you go look up the word ‘effective’. That will help with your confusion. Good day to you.

Incorrect.

That it is still a law on the books does not make it ‘active’. There is a law here in Kansas City that still bans automobiles on Main St., but I wouldn’t call it ‘active’, and nor should anyone else.

It was ditched, and with good reason. (At least for the the Epstein Class.)

I just relish not only the thought of the pain he might experience with these, but also the blows to his self-presumed masculinity and patriarchal authority.

Vibe coding, baby.

Legit endangering our brave spacefarers.

In a video posted to X, Hegseth said he is signing a memo that will direct base commanders to allow requests for troops to carry privately owned firearms “with the presumption that it is necessary for personal protection.”

Um.

Why?
