Putting yourself in harms way hardly justifies "self defense".

forrgott ,

Yup, the West wanted war so bad they invaded...wait, no, that's obviously bullshit.

Swapping one states' propaganda for another isn't enlightened, its just plain stupid.

forrgott ,

Really? You cannot be serious.

"They asked me to promote them, but I didn't offer. So I'm not actually promoting them."

Your entire argument is completely irrelevant. And promoting both candidates (like hell that would actually happen, but sure, buddy, we'll give you the benefit of the non-existent doubt), that's literally claiming two wrongs make a right. Which, they don't. At all.

And nice job copy/pasting the wrong name; totally didn't make any of us think you're working a script here. Not at all. (Whatever they're paying you, they're getting ripped off)

A baby is a baby until they're a toddler. An infant is a brand new baby.

    No. Just, no. I mean what the hell, man?!?

    That does not make any sense at all. I get someone to invest a bunch of money to research your language and culture, convince you not to worry cause I'm gonna take care of it, only to sell the work I "volunteered" to do back to you, that's nothing other than the most vile, deceptive, and manipulative way to extract "value" from the world around me. This utterly sociopathic and depraved behavior is exactly what is being talked about when people insist that "job creators" deserve praise for their efforts.

    forrgott ,

    The entire premise is disgusting, and clearly, there was no warning that there's gonna be a price tag. Fuck the capitalist class, the jackass trying to fleece them is not the victim. I literally couldn't care less there was no "guarantee it'd be free". Fuck outta here with that.

    Edit: And the $50 argument stinks, too. It's the copyright issue. You will never convince me there is any excuse for declaring somebody's language my intellectual property is a justifiable thing on any level.

    forrgott ,

    Copyright is the most common form of intellectual property. They are literally using intellectual property law against the native speakers of the language.

    But, whatever. Jerkwad making money off the situation is in the wrong. The entire concept of "rent seeking" by profiteering off the economy is a cancer on our society. And that's why this guy went into business, to extract value from the situation, aka "rent seeking". His cumulative effect on the whole situation is gonna be negative for everyone around him; where do you think "profit" comes from?

    But I'll agree to disagree. You are not gonna convince me, nor I you. More power to you (no, not sarcastically)

    forrgott ,

    Isn't the headline misleading? Keep seeing clickbait headlines about this, but I thought it was a matter of improper documentation, not that it wasn't actually titanium.

    So tired of what passes for "journalism" these days. Thanks, RepubliQans! /s

    forrgott ,

    Only unborn and in the womb, though. Note the ridiculous push against IVF recently 🤪

    forrgott ,

    Someone ought to make this a meme! 🤪😝

    forrgott ,

    Or, how about not making assumptions to justify attacking somebody's position. He didn't say he wouldn't vote for Biden. Like, didn't even imply it. Your response was unnecessarily combative, and furthermore, this guy made some really important points.

    Frankly, you sound like the whiny jerk in this conversation, not him.

    forrgott ,

    Because you will never jump a bracket which reduces your income because of higher taxes.

    Dude, what are you even talking about?? The entire purpose for brackets to even exist is to make it literally impossible for this to happen. Maybe take the time to learn how the tax system works before attempting to improve it?!?

    forrgott ,

    Well, frankly, your vote obviously doesn't matter to you. Refusing to accept the realities of our voting system as an excuse to throw your vote out the window isn't noble, it's ignorant. Whether you choose to accept it, your choice will do nothing other than help Trump.

    But, yeah, go cry some more about how pointing out reality is "attacking you".

    forrgott ,

    Nope. It's the paradox of tolerance in action. Try to keep up...

    Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness?

    I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine....

    forrgott ,

    Due to being a "night owl" myself, I guess I've always been a little doubtful regarding circadian rhythms myself; but your explanation did a great job of boiling it all down to the most significant component parts. Thank you! I really liked your summary!

    forrgott ,

    Umm, no. Just...yeah, no.

    The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

    But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They've managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

    Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

    forrgott ,

    ...vibrates your asshole...

    There is SO much to unpack in just three words! Omg 🤣

    forrgott ,

    That's a terrible argument. And love how you blame the obstructionism on the one being obstructed from accomplishing their goals.

    So, no, we have already seen the action. He did something. Will the sociopathic fascist a-holes in government overturn the action ALREADY TAKEN is what remains to be seen.

    House votes to require delivery of bombs to Israel in GOP-led rebuke of Biden policies ( apnews.com )

    The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....

    forrgott ,

    Ah. That was pretty ambiguous!

    Nah, this is performative MAGA drama for their base.

    forrgott ,

    I seriously doubt it; the extreme weight of these stones far exceeded the load capacity of any known Egyptian water craft. By, like, a lot.

    forrgott ,

    I have a hard time seeing a raft as having the necessary water displacement capability to handle that kind of weight, thought. And they left a written record regarding much smaller craft; so one obvious question, where's the record of any more advanced ship building?

    I guess it's just the fact that it's actually really not easy at all to get such enormous chunks of stone to float. But, I also cannot offer any other explanation, so take that as you will...

    forrgott ,

    Oh, I totally agree with your views here, I think. I guess it just bothers me whenever I see some "obvious" solution on some article or headline. The ones who built these monuments achieved something truly incredible, and we still can't explain how they did so.

    forrgott ,

    "I'm not interested in discussing this matter with you; please drop the subject so I can focus on work."

    Politely insist he drop it multiple times. If he refuses, depending on how severely this is affecting you, you are well within your rights to seek out a supervisor to discuss the issue. But I'd be as plain and direct as possible to minimize any chance of him turning the tables on you and complaining to a superior first.

    Or, make it clear you're not interested and just go on ignoring him?

    forrgott ,

    I always thought capitalism was defined by the existence of stock markets, but I could easily be mistaken! So, everything you said, plus the ability to gamble on three performance of businesses.

    forrgott ,

    I... don't wanna find out!

    forrgott ,

    Thank you for that detailed answer. I am all about learning new things!

    forrgott ,

    Well, yes...ok you got me there!

    forrgott ,

    Technically, that's not a valid way to read the headline. It's either the mother, or the fetus' brain...

    forrgott ,

    One of the more troubling things for me is that he probably didn't even need to do anything; it's terrifying, but truth is his followers are so radicalized that these kinda stories might not have had any negative effect on his campaign...

    Edit: a word

    forrgott ,

    Then you're part of the problem.

    forrgott ,

    Can you provide a source?

    If not, just know that I would have to reject your claims, seeing as how they contradict information from a reputable source.

    forrgott ,

    Um, please source specifically the entirety of your claims...???

    What are you even talking about?!

    forrgott ,

    Capitalism isn't exploitative, it's just an inconvenience? Oh, well that solves everything!

    Wait, no, that's actually incomprehensibly moronic. F*** your defense of such an evil and exploitative system.

    'Staring down little tyrants': Kristi Noem's book includes false anecdote about Kim Jong Un ( www.usatoday.com )

    "I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un," she wrote in the book set to be released Tuesday. "I'm sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I'd been a children's pastor, after all)."...

    forrgott ,

    You find the statement " capitalism does not incentivize empathy" to be in contradiction with "the problem will not be solved by good corporate leadership"?

    Dude. What are you smoking??? I need some, like, for real...

    forrgott ,

    Nah, I'm not nitpicking so much as outright rejecting.

    Whatever

    forrgott ,

    Yeah, it's a shitty answer, when there are multiple free options that eliminate the problem.

    forrgott ,

    The best therapy is objective. As such, a well tuned "predictive fill" ought to be a solid fit for this purpose. But, this is the exception that proves the rule; this does not mean LLM is something other than what it is. So I wouldn't read too much into it...

    forrgott ,

    This "article" makes an entirely specious claim, and offered absolutely nothing to support it. So, I concur with the other poster:

    Nope.

    forrgott ,

    I'm a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

    Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

    Doesn't this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

    I must assume I'm misunderstanding your argument...?

    forrgott ,

    I've always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It's kinda the first step of the process.

    I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there's not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It's hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

    So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don't know anything anyway! :-p

    forrgott ,

    So, dolphins have discovered tourism or what...?

    forrgott ,

    Yup, you're far left perfectionist. I don't make the rules...

    forrgott ,

    Of course, the transcript of the interview that report is based off totally supports those allegations. Not politically motivated at all. No sir.

    Sheesh.

    forrgott ,

    To replace a corporate executive? No, I don't think so. We already have algorithms more than capable of replacing CEOs. There is nothing that challenging in what they do...

    forrgott ,

    Oh really? Quote data that is relevant, ya tool. Sheesh

    forrgott ,

    Omg. I will update your insanity, but you getting pummeled! X-P

    forrgott ,

    Oh, well that settles it. It exists on the Internet, it must be true!

    How grateful we should be for such obvious wisdom!

    forrgott ,

    What I love about The Rock: he's only got, like, three facial expressions and I don't even care - I know he's gonna make it worth it to watch him anyway! :D
