Wait, what the actual fuck?? How long has this existed?! Thank you Hotsauce and Moose for teaching me about this.

Yeah, it’s a big talking point, but it doesn’t make it any less weird. It’s not his job or his responsibility, and the biggest problem is like you said - He’s SEEN as wielding equivalent power. He’s doing a good job as mayor because he’s NOT trying to appeal to the rest of the state and is focusing on directly improving the lives of the people in NYC, as it should be.

Otherwise, why stop the polling at the state level? Why not poll all of New England? Why not poll Canada? They’re just as close by and have the exact same level of influence over and from him.

“Struggles with state” is such a weird talking point. He’s a mayor, not a state rep.

I’ve also seen them on court stenographers and thought they looked cool. Not everyone needs every invention, though.

I hate how trying to explain this to neurotypicals makes me seem ‘pessimistic’ or ‘contrarian’.

I’ll get asked “Don’t you feel better now that this task is done?” and my honest answer is “No.” As frustrating as that might be to hear, imagine how frustrating that is to experience.

Why was this made with AI instead of a meme generator? Poor Tom got the Uncanny Valley filter.

Truly - What do they care about what happens after they’re dead? … They’ll be dead.

They have no empathy towards anyone who will suffer the consequences because they won’t have to be the ones to deal with the fallout. “Fuck you, I got mine” is their entire strategy.

I don’t think coffee rice (rice coffee?) sounds all that great, but I should give it a try…

“What are you talking about? You’re not different. Everyone feels that way, we just all learned how to deal with it ourselves.”

Even if there’s such a thing as a program without bugs, you’d still be overlooking one crucial detail - no matter the method, the end point of cybersecurity has to interface with humans. Humans are SO much easier to hack than computers.

Let’s say you get a phone call from your boss - It’s their phone number and their voice, but they sound a bit panicked. “Hey, I’m just about to head into a meeting to close a major deal, but my laptop can’t access the server. I need you to set up a temporary password in the next two minutes or we risk losing this deal. No, I don’t remember my backup - it’s written down in my desk but the meeting is at the client’s office.”

You’d be surprised how many people would comply, and all of that can be done by AI right now. It’s all about managing risk - there’s never going to be a foolproof system.

“Oh, finally Tylenol is suing over all of the false narratives about their completely safe product.” re-reads headline “Wait… Oh. Oh, we’re fucked.”

Not to mention that using ANY mark is considered a signature, no matter the method of affixing it to the document. It’s an ADA compliance thing - you can’t discriminate based on the method of signing.

Schrödinger’s AI: It’s so smart it can build perfect security, but it’s too dumb to figure out how to break it.

Not to mention the confusion upon first reading it as “He spreads in the bastards”.

Sure seems like a distraction from the Epstein files.

Not sarcasm, unfortunately. I remember it as clearly as the marker and eraser… I mean “marker-juana” and “eraser-beer” we used to practice saying no to.

It’s because it’s a chemical that physically alters your body.

The entire class said it wasn’t a drug and got into an argument with the cop. We all knew that even if you label it “a drug”, it’s not like the actual drugs we’re talking about. No one is out there abusing shampoo.

It’s really no wonder that taking a D.A.R.E. class increases your likelihood of using drugs in adulthood.

D.A.R.E. taught me that shampoo was a drug.

I stopped caring about being labeled as a ‘drug addict’ after learning that if that applies to everyone who regularly showers.

Matthew 6:5 I like having a sign with just the verse on it at any public ‘christian’ event. I refuse to say which verse it is, but encourage them to look it up. Usually under the guise of, “I can’t remember the exact wording / I don’t want to misquote Jesus, so it’s more impactful if you read it for yourself. You have your bible on you, right?”

The looks on people’s faces when they think you’re on their side, but then read an insult directly from their god… Priceless.

Ah, yes. That’s why when you upload a photo to facebook, only one friend gets to download it before you have to re-upload it for the next person.
