“When I was a young racist other racists didn’t say things like this”

That’s because the racism was covert, not because it was nonexistent. Hope this helps.

Debt collection companies are more Biblical than the Republican Party.

The 7 years that it takes for things to fall off your credit report is based on the Biblical concept of jubilee.

But MAGATs proudly persecute and prosecute the poor and have the nerve to say empathy is a sin.

Did they not figure out why it seemingly lessens the efficacy of hormonal birth control pills?

Or did no one investigate because who the hell cares - it only affects potentially pregnant people so fuck it

I was just reading your whining about losing friends for being a colossally shitass human being with great pleasure.

I have had the Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer w/ Oscillating Nozzle for 3.5 years now and am a big fan. I use my Hot Tools Blow Dryer Bush as often if not more, though, and it gives unbelievable shine and volume at a low $39.99

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.
