It’s kind of like an older sibling that picks on you but loses their shit if someone else tries to.

Willful negligence is still as bad if not worse than Ignorance

Japan’s long-standing efforts to protect domestic farmers from outside competition, including limiting imports of foreign rice

Here’s the why in case anyone is wondering. It’s not a global issue.

Seriously? Look up Uvalde and see what they (didn’t) do

I like how over time he went from curious but trying to think through things logically to just tired of the doctor’s shit and calling him on it.

Are we sure the bill is tanked?

At this point I’d be pushing my immigration lawyer to let me appear remotely so I can’t get picked up like that.

I’ve already accepted my name, dob and ssn are already out there from other breaches. One thing I immediately did was freeze my credit. It’s a good safeguard to have

This is what I was telling people when they were saying “well it’s against the GPDR!” and I was responding that functionally they’d have to go after every single federated instance, including those outside of the jurisdiction and deal with hundreds of other countries. And I got downvoted for it

Okay people. Tell me what actor they got to play Data in that picture?

So I’ve been on both sides of this equation. I had a rich friend growing up and they would give me random gifts like game consoles and tickets to concerts that we’d go with them.

I hate when people are selfish and hoard money, so why not use it for everyone to enjoy.

Does Voyager support PieFeed?

Tagging so I have this pinned. I need to find a new instance

And I thought the American right was bad about “it doesn’t matter until it affects us”

I hate the term “Agentic AI”
