That's just f'ing sad.

Weren't these the same people that got pissed as hell and went all FREEDOM OF SPEECH when Biden asked them to remove stolen nude pics of his son and maybe put disclaimers on COVID misinformation?

His conviction based solely on the testimony of a crooked cop ruined his life.

Hardball.

If we really can rid ourselves of Citizens United, why wouldn’t we do that, INSTANTLY?!

You get home and the dishes are done and your partner has gone to bed early, leaving you free to play video games for the evening.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

The only downside to Canada is that it's built above a meth lab

If only we had a Supreme Court that believed in it.

The US Constitution is far from perfect, especially in our modern society, but it's a hell of a lot better than *waves hands around* this

More white people should attend these kinds of conferences. They might learn something.

The incredible historical accuracy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 & 2 is a huge factor in what makes them so ridiculously good. Other game devs should take note - people dig history.

I just don't read it that way. It seems to me like he's explaining why Canadians are boycotting and how it's hurting his business and employees.

Also, you guys have Crown Royal. Why were you buying American whiskey anyway?

I look at it like if I had a problem with a product or didn't think it lived up to the advertising hype, I'd probably say negative things about it on social media. By that same token, I don't think it's bad to offer a positive opinion when you have one.

öx45tallboy @ox45tallboy.bsky.social · 18h

If I were Canadian, I'd absolutely be boycotting American goods, regardless of the politics of the person making them. This type of pressure does work. I'm just pointing out he's speaking to Americans who make these policies, not blaming Canadians.

Check out OpenSecrets and you can see who Gareth Moore actually supported.

öx45tallboy @ox45tallboy.bsky.social · 19h

Look him up on OpenSecrets. He donates to Ds.

öx45tallboy @ox45tallboy.bsky.social · 19h

If you look him up on OpenSecrets, Gareth Moore has only donated to Ds. He didn't vote for the Leopards Eating Faces party.

Trump is everything bad that white people are deep down but have been told they must keep bottled up. He says it all loud and proud, just like they wish they could.

"Ask your doctor about..."

Hell no. I want to live someplace where doctors are experts and they tell me what to take, not someplace where I tell them about this new miracle cure they've never heard of.

The tragedy of LLMs is that the designers spent all their effort making them believable before making them correct.

It's being investigated by the locals, and I'm more inclined to trust them than the FBI or ATF right now. Until they say it wasn't an accident, I'm not going to speculate. I *hope* it was an accident.

I still know my grandmother's old phone number and she passed away 15 years ago and the area code has now changed.
