The link has nothing to do with the comment, some people just add that to all their posts because they think it will prevent LLMs from using their comments as training data. It’s useless and very stupid imo, equivalent to people on facebook a few years back copy and pasting that text about owning their pictures and not giving fb permission to use them even though permission was already given in the sign up agreement.
Good for you if that’s an option i guess. For most people though it’s not realistic, and as tempting as it sounds I’m not sure if I’d want to even if I could. Yes, 1/3 of the adults in this country seem to be welcoming fascism with open arms, and a not insignificant portion of the other 2/3s either didn’t realize or didn’t care what was at stake. But fuck if I’m gonna just bail when the going gets rough. I’ve never considered myself especially patriotic but I care about the lives and prosperity of the people here and if this is how it’s gonna be I’ll do my best to affect what change I can. Maybe this is a privileged take because I’m not in a demographic that will be targeted but I’d like to try to help the ones that are.
And Virginia went blue
Not saying it wouldn’t still do well, but Tiger King released at the absolute perfect time: March 2020. A time where everyone was bored, maybe scared, and in need of an escape that was simultaneously too ridiculous to be reality while at the same rule too unbelievable to have been made up.
Side note, the guy who made Tiger King made another docuseries cake Chimp Crazy that I find is even better.
In this same vein, I’ve never had a from-scratch brownie that I like better than the box brownies.
My partner was once given an employee appreciation gift of a $5 Ben & Jerry’s gift card. This was after being furloughed for a few months during covid. She worked at a hospital which posted record profits that year. There aren’t even any Ben & Jerry’s in our city.
I just met him but I love him
Yeah but he’s full of hate and has access to the best medical care in the world; those types of people always love wayyyyyyyy too long Edit: live! live! Not love!
Except for they didn’t avoid it. They knew it was happening weeks in advance and didn’t do shit to stop it. Just because franchise owners have a bit of autonomy does NOT mean corporate won’t bring the hammer down if they think something will tarnish the brand.

How does searching discord work? I was under the impression that entire chat logs weren’t permanent and that older exchanges would be routinely deleted.
Great watch, hopefully they make more of this type of content!
Won’t disagree with you there, I was just explaining why he’s put on such a pedestal. It’s not uncommon for the most well known people in an art to not be the absolute most talented people doing it; unfortunately talent alone almost never brings people success.
I mean Seinfeld was fucking huge. It’s hard to overstate how big a hit it was in its time. And he was co-creator, the lead role, and obv his name is the name of the show. How could you not see people putting him up as one of the greats?
I’m not personally the biggest fan of his particular style of comedy, and you can certainly find issue with his personality and behavior over the years, but the man knows how joke structure works. He’s an expert in his craft. And you may not think he’s as good as some of his contemporaries, but there’s no denying he’s more of a household name than most if not all of them.
I’m not sure but I think that comment might be clever satire
I don’t disagree with your overall point, but statistics like that are almost always heavily skewed because of high infant mortality rates
Which is exactly why I called my local election office, and I even mentioned it might have been because of the rain we were having, but I was told no, it wasnt the damp that caused it because they had confirmed with the factory that sent the ballots out that some had been sent out like that. They then told me to tape it and when I was hesitant because I had the same thought as you they told me they had checked several times with the registrar that taping them up was what to do. They said it was a known issue so it would be accepted.
A lot of the virginia ballots were mailed out with the return envelopes already sealed up. I called the election office and they said to cut them open and just seal them back with tape 🤣
Edit: to all the folks concerned about my vote, thank you for your concern. I’m not too worried about it for several reasons. You can check online to see when your ballot is received and accepted, so I’ll be doing that. If it isn’t accepted in the next week or so I’ll definitely be making some calls. Worse comes to worse, I can always go to my polling place on the day and get a provisional ballot in case something happens to my mail-in. I live in a pretty blue area so I have some trust in the local offices here; they’ve given no reason for me to be suspicious. Nonetheless I’ll still be double checking.
I genuinely thought this was going to end with like “and then shove it up your ass!” or something
There are many companies right now
exploitingemploying contract workers to rate chatbot responses in order to improve the models. I have first hand experience with this work and let me tell you it’s…a complete fucking shitshow. I can’t imagine they’re getting much good data from it but they are absolutely throwing money at the problem hand over fist.
