She’s pretty and blond and an idiot. She’ll be on Fox News as a host shortly after.

I agree. I actually think it’s a net negative as well for friendships. As in the case of OP, I would rather get an original email from the sender saying they couldn’t make it, so let’s meet the next day, but instead I have to read thru several paragraphs of boilerplate and AI crap instead, which wastes my time, and I know the sender did it, so I’m mad at them for being impersonal. At some point, we’re just going to have people’s AI responding to each other without any person actually reading it.

We’re only doing this because every company doesn’t want to be left behind so they go all in. It feels like Ian Malcolm said it best in Jurassic Park

“Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should”

This is what happens when you don’t hold criminals accountable for their actions. If we’d actually been tough on these assholes, then we wouldn’t be in this predicament. What are we going to do when all these states say that Trump won? If the past is any indication, the Democrats will cave and let Trump take office, or will bring their case to the SC who have shown that they don’t give a shit about democracy and will install a Republican regardless of the election outcome.

We should have tried those responsible for January 6 and held them accountable, including long prison sentences. I’m looking at you, Trump, Gohmert, MTG, and anyone else who actively tried to overthrow our government or gave in-depth, secret tours to groups that tried to.

He’s such an asshole and it’s nice to see people finally starting to realize it. He’s had sycophants around him his entire life and doesn’t have the faintest clue what normal is.

Any new automobile manufacturer has to do that initially in order to make enough money to get the manufacturing and supply chain developed enough to create a car for the masses. They start with a lower volume and higher priced car to get the excitement for the product. Once they have that, they are able to start assembling a larger volume at a lower price.

Fuck that guy. And I’m sure that he did all this while getting paid to actually protect the kids, which he didn’t do because he spent all his time in the library. The right wing mindset at this point in time is truly diseased. Obsessed over trivialities; scared of every little new difference that is considered progress by normal people. And how many of these idiots are paid with government positions all while trying to destroy the government?

I really hate it. In fact, it’s hard to listen to because it’s been built to reply in such a sycophant way. Everything is enthusiastic and positive when that’s not how real life is. I’m paraphrasing obviously, but it’s like “OMG you’re wearing a leather jacket and a light colored shirt, you’re so cool!” and “You’re in an industrial place with lighting, that’s so awesome!”

I’d rather they work on code that optimizes the validity of the results and prevents hallucinations rather than work on emotive responses.

The RX3 looks fantastic and is the car that got be actually thinking about a full EV, and not a hybrid. If it comes in at 45k or so I think it could be a killer car.

Fear. It’s that simple. An authoritarian mindset is one predicated on fear. After 9/11, Dick Cheney and George H. W. Bush used fear to drive their policies of restrictive freedoms. They pushed these through so they could amass additional powers and push government money towards their friends. Once these freedoms are gone, they almost never come back. The Republican party has been running on a campaign of fear ever since. Quite honestly, they’ve used fear as their driving force since the '80s. Back then it was fear of the Communists, and then it was fear of 'big government" and then it was fear of immigrants, or “the gays”, or restrictions of the second amendment, or caravans of people coming up from South America. Fear is the only thing that they can run on since they have no actual plans to move our country forward.

Just wanted to find out what the count of these guys being secret leftist Antifa members is… oh yeah, zero…

Yet Another Imbecile for Trump… I didn’t realize just how quickly defunding schools in red states would affect the electorate…

That’s fascinating. Obviously, there’s a series of repeating numbers in there, and one of the numbers would have a highest number of repeats… until further places of pi are determined and another number knocks it off… I assume there’s a repeating 1, or 2 that repeats 7 or 8 times,etc… at some point…

Well I thought that at first, but it has to be less than infinite since other numbers have to repeat in there as well with at least some occurrence so it’s infinite minus something, but since pi goes on infinitely, it’s obviously some high number…

There’s a 9 repeating 6 times in there which I’d think is a pretty rare occurrence in pi. I wonder what the longest occurrence of a repeating digit is.
