And they are literally naturally occurring. Like… I wonder how mad conservatives get when it rains on a sunny day, and a rainbow comes popping up in the sky reminding them of their closeted homosexuality.

Somewhere inbetween. I had a friend who was a cook and I didn’t know shit about cooking. He would come over, then we would go to the supermarket and smell the different produce, and look at the meats and come up with something to cook. We would buy it, go back and chef it up. Learned a whole lot about cooking and flavor profiles etc. Some of the best times I’ve ever had.

I’m a groomsman in his wedding in November. For the bachelor party we are renting a cabin with some people. We are going to dream up a menu, go shopping, and chef it up again. I can’t wait.

Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.

Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven’t yet done.

What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.

I can tell when I’m driving from NY into CT when suddenly there’s traffic for no reason and everybody is driving like an asshat.

Dicktater.

As in tater-tot dick.

I used GPT to help me plan a 2 week long road trip with my family. It was pretty fucking awesome at finding cool places to stop and activities for my kids to do.

It definitely made some stupid ass suggestions that would have routed us far off our course, or suggested stopping at places 15 minutes into our trip, but sifting through the slop was still a lot quicker than doing all of the research myself.

I also use GPT to make birthday cards. Have it generate an image of some kind of inside joke etc. I used to do these by hand, and this makes it way quicker.

I also use it at work for sending out communications and stuff. It can take the information I have and format it and professionalize it really quick.

I also use it for Powershell scripting here and there, but it does some really wacky stuff sometimes that I have to go in and fix. Or it halucinates entire modules that don’t exist and when I point it out it’s like “good catch! That doesn’t exist!” and it always gives me a little chuckle. My rule with AI and Powershell is that I don’t ask it to do things that I don’t already know how to do. I like to learn things and be good at my job, but I don’t mind using GPT to help with some of the busy work.

Not here to defend Blackstone, but it sounds like you are talking about Blackrock. Blackstone owns commercial real estate portfolio companies. Blackrock is the 11 trillion owns the world alongside vanguard one. Easy to mix them up.

2001 sounds right. I was definitely at that one. I remember the t shirt being Satan grabbing his hairy balls and flipping you the bird. They made me turn that t shirt inside out in high school when I wore it. Buncha facists.

I also remember Sony had a PS2 truck there and you could play Twisted Metal Black. It was awesome.

This one is so crazy to me. I have two friends that seem to be facing this issue right now. One took 6 months off after being laid off from his job because he wanted to, had enough money to, and just wanted to take some time off and travel etc. He keeps getting grilled about it, and has been job hunting for another 6 months on top of it. Now he’s been unemployed for a year and is getting grilled even harder for it. Why is that a problem? Like why do people see that as some kind of flaw? “I had the resources to take some time off so I did” seems perfectly fine to me

The other friend was suffering from severe burnout and decided to take a year off to get his own mental health in order. Once again, I don’t see the problem with that. If you can afford to take a year off and that’s what you want to do with your time and money, then right on, go do that. Life is for living. But now he’s having a very hard time getting a job because of it.

Its kinda bullshit.

Those were good times. I was at the Ozzfest where Marilyn Manson humped the back of a security guards head and then got sued for it. Good times indeed.

This is the part that bothers me so much about everything that is being dismantled right now. It took forever to get it to where it is, and it still needed a lot of improvement. And it was just smashed seemingly overnight.

It’s like a sandcastle. Takes forever to build a good one, and it takes some asshole one second to step on it and destroy the whole thing.

I have to disagree. 9 times out of 10, the song is being drowned out by the sound of the entire car rattling from the bass.

Personally, I prefer a much flatter EQ when listening to my music. I often times turn up the high-mids just a tad. I love a crispy high hat. Jacking the shit out of the bass is kind of spitting on the sound engineer that mixed and mastered the music. It’s like taking a medium rare A5 wagyu and dumping A1 sauce on it.

Also you don’t get paid out for “unlimited PTO” when you leave. I have something like 45 days of PTO saved up, and if/when I leave my company, I will be paid for those 45 unused days along with any other severance package that is included. Unlimited PTO is a trap.

This post has ~800 upvotes and ~150 comments. Lemme is doing great. It would be nice if the smaller communities were bigger, but there was a point on Reddit probably around 2015ish where it became too many people. I am enjoying this way more. Making a comment doesn’t feel like shouting into a crowd of shouting people the way that Reddit does. There is actual conversation.

So stupid. There’s a good stand up bit that covers it - https://youtube.com/shorts/jrBlC3q0Fwo

On a different side of the coin, the virtue signaling also bothers me. I was at a fast casual restaurant and went to use the bathroom and the sign on the door said “Gender neutral bathroom” and I was like “oh word, that’s pretty progressive I like this place” and then I walked in and there’s one toilet and a sink and the door locks. Motherfucker, that’s just a bathroom. You don’t need to specify “gender neutral” when it’s a one-person bathroom. Fuck outa here.

Well they ain’t gonna brick my SreamDeck, so I say go for it Nintendo.

Not that I think this is acceptable behavior, but I’m okay with them pushing people away from their systems into using alternatives.

This is a self-own.

They never should have shot that gorilla.
