Eh. The copaganda says they are set up for that, but they’ve always been tools to protect wealth and power. The 6 part series Behind the Police with Robert Evans and Jason Petty is good. There is some implicit bias involved, but they do provide citations to back it up.

Ahh, right Acts/Luke, not Peter. Thanks.

Wasn’t the pork thing in the Peter books?

It doesn’t really; it’s hyperbole by comparison. The distance from my home to the moon is vast and unwalkable, but if you compared it to the distance between the earth and the center of the galaxy, someone might say it looks like a short walk in comparison.

It obviously still is not possible, but it’s a way to stress how big the comparison is.

Doesn’t Stardew have timed days?

Please don’t insult fine upstanding sex workers like that.

Which is operated by the winch wench. Who runs on Linux.

I’m not loud and outspoken, but I don’t really celebrate. Though in my case I grew up JW so I never had the habit. I’ve heard arguments from outspoken atheists that religion doesn’t get to claim holidays, because you don’t have ro believe in something to enjoy the festive aspects, plus those holidays were stolen or merged from various religions anyway.

Civic? Maybe they got more expensive while I wasn’t looking, but the Civic is supposed to be entry isn’t it?

Actors make movies and thats it.

That’s the thing, if that’s all they did a little opinion difference wouldn’t matter. I also wouldn’t care. That’s not what they do though, they use their money and fame harm others. He went on Glenn Beck to support his 9/12 movement, was outspoken about being anti-lgbt, and donated money to those causes. Similar to JK Rowling, who some say to just ignore, then she also started donating her wealth to bigoted causes as well.

Assuming rich and famous people’s opinions can’t cause actual harm is just ignorance.

Did you like him on his Alex Jones Infowars appearances?

Hey, I’ve seen this one before https://youtube.com/shorts/B4APOBUpLAs

My brother has also had the same thing happen. We both worked in the same company and at different locations, and the company had been performing successive rounds of layoffs. On the 5th round he and I were let go about 5 mins apart, but in less than a month they had to rehire him as a contractor and higher pay than they were paying him before. Mostly I think because his prior boss would claim stuff my brother did as his own accomplishments and I don’t think my brother cared. He was able to contract til he got a better job.

I haven’t spoken to him recently, and I no longer use Facebook which was the way I spoke to him in the past, but the only military person going for office school I was friends with was a boom operator on a refueling aircraft. Maybe that’s why I never experienced any bloodlust from him. Mostly if we discussed his service it was about the boom, about physical training he has to do anyway, etc.

I used to like it, but nowadays I much prefer vinaigrettes. Ginger based Asian ones are good too. White sauces generally feel kinda heavy to me.

Part of what got me off my ass to actually switch to Linux is that my Windows partition is on a 120gb drive. I don’t need to claim it, my games are on 2 2tb drives that are Linux based, and 1 1tb shared drive that I mostly use just 1 of the games on, plus a basic “other” drive. I haven’t been back in Windows for months, but I haven’t confirmed all my games work in Linux yet.

Biggest priority is getting all the hotas buttons working for Elite.

For I am a master of deceptio-

Depends on the person I guess. I set myself up to dual boot. Last time I booted into windows was well over a month ago, and it was during the initial move over to Linux. I still keep a dual boot, but I’m much more inclined to use the new Linux setup rather than Windows (10, I use 11 for work laptop and I am not at all tempted to install it even for a second boot).

Dual boot is an option too, which is what I intended to do, but so far all the games I care about work. I still have the windows partition just in case, but the main worrying factor for me was Elite Dangerous, which played but didn’t recognize my HOTAS. It sees it now, though it does still treat the throttle as an Xbox controller, so if it can’t fix that I may again end up using Windows for that game and Linux for everything else.

Maybe, but always remember LLMs are trained on real people. Some people naturally use similar styles to some LLM tica as it was stolen from them in the first place.
