Haha, strong ‘proud boys’ vibes.

It still cracks me up that a group of bigoted, homophobic men chose the name ‘proud boys’ for themselves. Surely they knew all the jokes that would bring?

Apart from the fact that this counter celebration is cringey and time-deaf, that’s also a really long-winded and uncatchy name for it. Why didn’t they call it Straight Joy Month, or something more succinct.

Thin crust with extra pineapple and nothing else. 😜

No, but seriously, my favorite are the thin-ish crust ones my wife makes with fresh dough, with regular sauce, mushrooms, and olives on it.

I only discovered Krita recently, but holy shit does it fill the Photoshop void very well. The UI isn’t the same as PS, obviously. But I find it much easier to navigate than Gimp’s UI. And Krita is surprisingly feature-rich.

Free market, states rights, first amendment… Only when it suits them.

And Israel’s hissy fit intensifies.

It’s amazing how they’ve pissed away so much good will for the horrible acts they endured on Oct 7th, and they are now pariahs to the large majority of the international community. They are on a hell of a ‘victim to villain’ speed run.

No, you don’t understand. Corporations need those open office hellscapes to leverage their protective synergies, to maximize their dynamic paradigms, and to fulfill various other nuggets of marketing buzzword bullshit.

Oh, and because they don’t trust the worker bee employees as far as they can throw them, and because they need to keep the legion of mostly incompetent middle management busy so the C-level muckity-mucks can continue to stiff everyone who works for or uses the company to get fatter bonuses.

(Hmm, I think my cynicism escaped.)

And that Trump puppet’s name? Kermit the Fraud.

I don’t have a direct answer to your question. But I advise caution in putting your creative works online in the way you are planning. Between people plagiarizing it (either word for word or just the broader concepts) and AIs doing similar things, you could find that your work gets stolen.

Self-publishing might at least give you a bit of inherent copyright protection. Then at least you will have an ISBN associated to it, and you can always host your stories somewhere (WordPress, Medium, etc.).

If you want to self-publish your stories a free service like Smash Words would work.

No pesky peace deals are going to get in the way of Netanyahu’s genocide.

Hah, I was going to say, that means asking for programming advice from Chat GPT will now result either in a response of “Why are you even trying to do that? You are stupid!” or dismissively pointing to another (mostly unrelated) chat session that has already been closed without a suitable answer.

From the article, Here are the median amounts of what individuals currently have saved for retirement, categorized by age:

Age Range Median Retirement Savings

Under 35 $18,880

35-44 $45,000

45-54 $115,000

55-64 $185,000

65-74 $200,000

75 or older $130,000

What you actually need for a 25 year retirement varies a lot based on your location. From memory they said Miami, FL would review about $1.1m, while McAllen, TX would require about $570k.

He was strong in life. May his spirit find the way to the halls of his fathers.

RIP.

So they are labeling a brand new (and obviously flawed) AI as a priest, but women (who are human beings) still can’t be priests?

Sorry ladies, you’ve now fallen further down the ladder.

• Regular straight Catholic men - acceptable priest
• Gay Catholic men - acceptable priest (as long as they don’t get caught)
• Male converted Anglican priests - acceptable priest (in some scenarios)
• Catholic men with gross sexual habits - acceptable priest
• Flawed AIs - acceptable priest
• Corporations - soon to be priests?
• Catholic women - ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Nobody cares about your twerking for Russia, North Korea. Stop spouting nonsense for attention. It’s pathetic.

No, you are correct about the number of posts. But it looks like the community is only about 2 weeks old. And if they focus on quality over quantity that post count isn’t a bad thing.

Yes, I’ve used them. And for some things they are okay (for example, their responses on programming questions can be hit or miss).

But given that there have been active disinformation campaigns and election meddling attempts (with several countries being both the victims and the perpetrators of this), I’m not convinced they will be reliable on some topics. Not least because the companies behind them have been slow to take the topic of information fidelity seriously.

I was about to say the same thing applies to AI. But AI is fucked right out of the gate. There’s not even a brief window of hope for it being used to better society. Anyone with any awareness on the topic knows these AIs are already corrupted and compromised because they’ve been using the Internet to train all their LLMs.

Didn’t they already do this? I thought I remember after a Windows 11 update a couple of months ago I had that copilot shit on the taskbar and auto-enabled.

I guess I’ve been lucky. All the ones I’ve had deliver stuff to me have been very considerate.

Of course, now I’ve just jinxed myself.
