there really should be a coordinated effort to outlaw sports betting in all 50 states and DC. not good for the fans, the players, the managers or anyone other than the betting organizations. we gotta go back

It's amazing how incredibly explicitly OpenAI seems to be admitting that they have no idea how to actually monetize their automated lying machine.

you are the specific brand of millennial that much less technically competent millennials love pretending to be in comparison to zoomers and gen Xers haha

i've had actually complicated (for intro helpdesk anyway) IT issues i was able to resolve that were still way easier than fallout new vegas lol

Sam 👁️ @samthenightowl.bsky.social · 3d

i actually did search for a while on how to fix the issue because it's common as hell on reddit and my search queries led me nowhere. it was easy to justify abandoning the pursuit of a solution since the game was gifted to me by one of my IT coworkers before i left lol

i've tried to play it on steam and it is incredibly nonfunctional because i assume bethesda has insane coding practices

beginning to think the only way to do this is borrowing my friend's ps3 and buying an actual physical disk

the one thing about trump's lying that isn't unique is the deception regarding his health. that's just a long-established bipartisan thing with u.s. presidents and that's kinda neat
