You don’t know if you’re sane. Millions of people aren’t aware of their mental illness and manage to live normal lives. LLMs can trigger delusional states in vulnerable people that have never experienced them because they are essentially delision-generating machines.

Not having to keep pace. They just get the competitive cars banned in the US, then charge so much fucking money here for their shit products it’s worth losing the rest of the world.

Or just wear a hoodie and mechanics gloves and don’t drive up to it.

“You need to use the app to reserve a space for the public park.”

1/1/however far back the wheel scrolls before I click the year.

And it’s distressingly common for it to under-report my age - stupid march of time.

It’s because the family members in American Dad have actual heart. Stan and company are zany, but they really care about each other.

I have an old garden shed I converted.

I’m looking to replace the Bambu printers, but they’re what I have for now.

I’m starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.

Anything to bring about the end.

When I watched Breaking Bad, I was mesmerized by Walt’s descent from a man who just wanted to help his family into the monster he became.

When I watched it the second time, I realized there was no descent. The monster was there from the first frame, but I had been used to seeing the main character as essentially good.

Brian Cranston’s performance gets praised all day every day online, and against all odds it lives up to the hype.

That’s just eating them with extra steps.

Just throw hard enough to trigger fusion reaction then.

Heck - even Left fellas! We need unity on this issue.

Insurance companies make deals with hospitals along the lines of “We’ll pay 1k for this procedure which should cost 300 bucks, or 40% of your standard rates, whichever is lower.” So the standard rate becomes $2500.

Then the insurance company will require a 40% “copay” based on the standard rates, and the patient ends up paying the $1000 and the insurance company doesn’t pay shit despite collecting hundreds a month in premiums.

If you tell them you don’t have insurance they’ll frequently discount the fee to the $300 it should cost.

I suppose we could make Flock feeds into porn sites…

Look at quality employees like any other product.

Saying that good people are hard to find and don’t want to work anymore is like saying that since you can’t buy a 200" 8K TV for 90 bucks it means TVs don’t want to be bought anymore.

Super PACs are so 2012. In 2024 SCOTUS ruled that officials are allowed to accept “gratuities” so long as they don’t directly say it’s a bribe.

Unless it’s for the President. Then they can just say it’s a bribe.

4mph is close to the maximum speed in downtown Austin traffic.

It’s Austin. The traffic is so shitty you can’t go fast enough to get in a wreck most of the time.

I live in the area, and can confirm anecdotally that the Teslas are bad drivers and the Waymos generally are excellent.

Childless uncle here. My role is to love my nephew and support him in whatever way he needs me to.

Sometimes he just needs me to be a responsible, safe adult he can count on who isn’t burdened by the need to act parental.

That’s because they’re guaranteed to sell all the water when there’s a storm anyway. There’s a reason there’s laws against raising prices in an emergency.
