Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

Just tilt the seat back a bit more?

I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you’re looking at a zoo enclosure?

I just started skipping the middleman entirely and now sprinkle lead chips directly onto my food. Saves tons of time and gives it that sweet sweet lead flavor. Mmmmmmm

Really puts me in touch with my roman era ancestors. 😊

Definitely watch Capaldi. His Doctor is right up there with Tenant in my book.

Be advised though, if you continue watching, Jodie Whittaker’s seasons are… different…

It’s not Jodie. They changed writers and directors after Capaldi and I was not a fan.

Crazy how nature do that

I think I’ll be looking into Boardwalk. I haven’t heard of that before. How long does that 40lb detergent bucket last you?

You like nature, and paddle boarding, and LGBT friendly spaces? Skip the West Coast, come live in the Twin Cities. It’s really nice here, it’s safe, has all the things you’re looking for, and it’s not unfathomably fucking expensive.

The only downside is that winters are cold. Bring a winter jacket.

As others commented, lining up a job is step 1 to any move. That will be be the hard part.

Oh so no more gun bans in public places? They won’t even stop you if you, say, show up to the judge’s courthouse with a loaded rifle? That’s ok now?

According to the judge, it’s apparently just fine to show up armed at banks, Churches, and playgrounds like that’s a normal thing people do.

It’s like trying to slam a revolving door.

Honestly why don’t we have a nether portal transit system already. Server is how old at this point? Smh my head.

If this happens I’m becoming a terrorist.

It’s in a book. They’ll never find out…

I’m convinced the media wants Trump to win exclusively because he makes them lots of money. They made a killing during the Trump years just by reporting on the live status of the dumpster fire.

They haven’t made as much money under Biden, so they’re undermining the fuck out him in favor of Trump.

Classic capitalism. Profit > Truth. Profit > Democracy.

This thread is a couple months old at this point but I figured I’d reply anyway.

Maybe you had a different experience but I experienced this transition in middle/high school in west MI. The first Gen iPhone released in 2007. 3G was widespread and while that might be considered slow these days, it was state of the art speed at the time, so it wasn’t considered “slow and unusable”.

In 2007, kids my age didn’t have much tech beyond an iPod or MP3 player. By 2009, almost everyone had a smartphone. That was a huge leap in internet accessibility.

Personally, my theory is that the advent of “hiring algorithms” caused this. The widespread use of AI for weeding out candidates has gone way too far. These softwares are purging resumes of perfectly qualified candidates without the human hiring managers ever knowing about it.

That’s why every company right now is bitching that they can’t find anyone to hire while every unemployed person I know saying that jobs are impossible to get.

Anecdotally, that’s also why you get ghosted by companies instead of rejected. They have no idea you ever applied.

Don’t let a bunch of internet bozos convince you that your interests are bad or stupid. Some people just aren’t into the things that you are and vice versa. They don’t even know you! Fuck em!

Nat-c’s for short.

Mmmmm crunchy
