I think everyone that wishes for the fall of civilization should have to read The Road - That was a bleak story.

That would suck to have to have done that, sounds like he was at least a empathetic human.

It’s horrific to witness that kind of death, or it was for me.

Yeah, it took a while to get over that shit, but I guess it worked because I sure as shit changed my ways.

As a result of being a dumb ass teenager the state gave me 50 community service hours. I got assigned to an animal shelter that was being managed by some very deranged people. I witnessed some horrific things that mentally unstable people will do to animals when no one cares.

My job was to pile up the euthanized animals in a pickup and off load them at the landfill. Fucking grim.

Yeah but this article is focused on the laziness of the scammers to not even edit the pages to get rid of AI-generated phrases like :

“I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide specific articles on demand.”

Which ultimately is a good thing that they are so lazy to even proof-read what the AI generated.

That we are emotional animals that sometimes have logical thoughts. But we live in a society (at least in the west) where we have to pretend that we are logical animals that sometimes have emotions.

I wonder if Stanford University and other elite schools would have allowed an AI generated paper?

I feel if this kid didn’t get caught in high school he definitely would have at any university.

This is the Air Bud argument

If I notice that I am spending too much time trying to cover all the bases so someone can’t nitpick or acktually my reply I just give up and hit cancel. I appreciate an entertaining comment thread, what bug the shit out of me are people that reply to a comment with an obscure edge case or who are just pedantic for the sake of being pedantic.

And its because of this real lack of quality care for the elderly (outside of the wealthy elderly) that I workout and eat right as much as I can. I probably won’t be able to afford a good retirement home so I need to stay as health and fit as I can for as long as I can.

Just posted about this in a different thread:

The US senators: mitch mcconnell, ted cruz, and lindsey graham used fraud to win their respective seats in 2020. All three were in tight races according to the polls but all three won with bigger margins than was to be expected.

This idea came from a few articles that were discussing this issue a few days after the election, then those articles all just disappeared.

Maybe the articles disappeared because there was no fraud

Maybe the articles disappeared because there was?

What always confuses me is why don’t they hire a few people that actually do repair and take the business? It seems like a simple way to keep the locals from getting suspicious.

But that boost came because people were still feeling the need for revenge for 9/11 three years earlier. Also there was a hell of a lot of fear mongering and out right lies about Iraq that was being reported as facts from all the media at the time. So the American citizens had been primed for war and most wanted it.

my feeling is, is if you are going to be selling a product and you use certain words or phrases like “scientifically proven” or “research shows…” that you need to reference your claim.

has the added benefit of potentially provoking them into getting themselves arrested if there are cops watching.

As long as the cops don’t sympathize with the nazis

Russia uses nukes in Ukraine to “win” the war. Now they control land that has large swaths that are completely unlivable and non-productive for farming. And the “livable” parts Russia would have to spend huge sums of money to re-build the infrastructure from the blast(s).

Even if the rest of the world let’s them get away with that (which I doubt they would) it doesn’t seem like a very good strategy.

I think this company has few different teams that work on the problem from different angles

Some are on the boats in the Pacific some are building interceptors in rivers in countries that are the largest producers of waste that makes it to the ocean. Of course they can’t fix the problem just slow it down. The fix comes from these countries changing how they allow garbage to be collected and stored.

All your ideas would need to be legislated.

I’ve thought about this idea for a long time.

Having sensors in the road (along the side and middle line) and receivers on cars would do a lot of good.

The sensors could tell the car how close it is to the side/middle. They could tell the car how close other cars are around them. They could tell the car the condition of the road surface (ex wet or icy). They could be programmed to the speed limit of the road and keep the cars moving at that speed. Probably many others uses.

The downside is building a sensor that can withstand weather, traffic, crumbling infrastructure. Also they would have to have a way to stay powered up for years. And if you made them re-programmable there is another level of security that needs to be added to them. And then there is the cost to retro-fit all the roads with these sensors and building a common receiver that could be installed on new cars.

I don’t think my idea is practical at all but it’s a cool idea

weight loss is great but as you get older building muscle and strength is just as important - especially if you are female.
