I don’t know if it will drum up supporters, or rile or people who get riled to professionally. This seems like it’s just going to drum up conservative talking heads.

That being said I definitely sympathize with women and I understand that they have to do something to get help.

It’s just an idea voiced in some places online, that makes for a good headline, and will get lots of people active to comment and complain.

A couple years ago they introduced Buddy Christ to try and drum up some interest but it didn’t go anywhere.

Also, why would a religious institution with a modern problem with child abuse is a child as an icon, seems pretty unaware.

Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.

I’m going into my midterm in 30 minutes where we will be desicrating the corpses of trees.

I’m in university and I’m hearing this more and more. I keep trying to guide folks away from it, but I also understand the appeal because an LLM can analyze the code in seconds and there’s no judgements made.

It’s not a good tool to rely on, but I’m hearing more and more people rely on it as I progress.

The best part about this, is that new models will be trained on the garbage from old models and eventually LLMs will just collapse into garbage factories. We’ll need filter mechanisms, just like in a Neal Stephenson book.

My younger friend asked why some old cars had a piece of plexiglass on the front of the hood.

I had to explain that thirty years ago, in this area, you would drive through enough bugs in a day to cover your windscreen. The bug shield would help deflect them. It was a pretty grim lunch after that.

This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn’t serve their area because she didn’t want another bill.

He told me that and I was like “Well…” and my mom just yelled from the other room “I JUST CALLED THEY’RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR.” so I shut up.

In 2003 I learned to drive in a 1986 Hyundai Pony. The breaking point was when I got a stop sign on a slight incline and my dad had to get out while I floored it so the car could get moving again.

I’m just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940’s. My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around. Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that’s expensive size as hell. TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.

You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we’ve really stagnated.

That’s not to say it’s all the same, phones are amazing, but they don’t change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.

A graphic novel is a comic in longer form. Something like Persepolis that was released in one volume vs something like Watchmen that was released as normal comic books.

If you’re a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.

Blog posts and peer reviewed articles are not the same thing.

It’s a three thousand dollar monitor, what did they expect?

I watched Linus Tech Tips, and NCIX Tech Tips before that. My wife and I were discussing how the level of information was tanking but the production quality was great, then GN released their video a few weeks after we stored watching LTT and I unsubsidized.

The wonderful result of Microsoft and Qualcomms exclusivity agreement.

There are other ones, this is just the obvious one. I’ve only spotted one other in the wild and I forget where it was.

Here’s one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.

Now that I know what it is, it’s pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?

Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.
