2·6 hours agoHonestly love to see how these companies figure to make a profit in any given future. There are not enough humans with the money or care to pay even a minimal subscription. This is why they’re jamming it up our ass. An AI subscription will have to be the next internet or phone bill for this thing to even think about making a profit.
But what about commercial uses? There are plenty, but not enough to make a profit. Companies are already cautiously rolling back subscriptions.
can work for a few lines, for some boilerplate, or for some refactoring
I highly doubt the person you’re replying to meant anything else. We’re all kinda on the same page here.
Do explain your understanding of the Constitutional amendment process and how that might play out in 2025 America.
Either answer or shut the fuck up with your facile, childish notions.
1·8 hours agoCopy/paste reply for you smug assholes:
I’m far more heavily armed than most. I could outfit my entire block, though they’re already armed; young, old, liberal, MAGA. Yes, even the little old black lady across the street.
What the fuck do you want me to do? I’m sick of these smartass posts. Give me fucking instructions and be clear or STFU.
Fuck me. Saw what looked like an ICE thing in Alabama today, put my Colt .45 under my leg while trying to get my immigrant wife the hell back to Florida. There’s a 12-gauge pump leaning on my desk 24x7 and the AR-15 leans on my nightstand. Being that there’s no ICE around here, want me to hunt some down a couple of states away? Be clear in your instructions.
I now lock my doors, have a gun in reach everywhere I go and live in fear. And you assholes, “LOL! Where my 2A boys at?”
Haven’t looked at numbers for 4-5 years, and holy shit did it flip around 2022-2023. Last I saw was 43-48%.
Anyone want to see for themselves, this is a solid search:
“cdc gun deaths”
Plenty of data from solid sources to back treesquid. Thanks for getting me up to date! I was quite ignorant.
The reply was not on your ass! We all good!
But it’s a solid reply to the poster above.
You are going to LOVE this one.
And yeah, everyone on my block has a gun. Well-off, poor, black, white, old, young, liberal, MAGA, everyone. (It’s quite a diverse block!) No ICE around here, not even in this region.
I am in dread of watching the noose tighten. They’ll be here soon enough.
Do so before it’s too late to have that option. But it takes lots of time and money (ammo) to get the practice in. There’s a reason LGBT, minorities and women have been the top first-time buyers for years now.
But please, please god, start leaning now. There is so much more to unpack that most people know, and that includes current gun owners.
I highly recommend Paul Harrell’s videos (RIP). He’s rather dry, with dry humor, but he’s more expert than anyone I’ve seen. He starts with a question. What about this? He tests it, shows results, discusses how fair the test was, with zero judgment. His videos are a masterclass on how to present a topic and how to setup simple experiments and draw conclusions. He is a teacher above all else.
Here’s one perfectly suited for you!
Here’s one my conceal carry instructor taught about, and I’ve seen it play in my own life:
If you have a machine in your pocket or pants that is capable of taking a human life, you think and act differently. You’re more situationally aware, because you don’t want to stumble into a situation where you have to use the fucking thing. A concrete and steel box may be the next place you find yourself. Forever.
I lack the words to put the reader in that emotional state, but it’s real. Not like you’re paranoid, constantly on the lookout, but you are more aware. Used to put myself into crazy situations when I was younger, got stories all night long, but now I’m way more chill.
In the past, I have been threatened with violence, many times, from the homeless downtown.
Unarmed me: “FUCK YOU!”
Armed me: I’m out, not a word. More to the point, I wouldn’t be anywhere near that situation in the first place.
“But you can peace out without a gun!”
Very true, I’ll grant that. But having one makes me more aware of what’s going on around me, makes me less threatening. The vast majority of us are exactly like this. If you watch GunTubers, you will find none of them talking the way we’re made out in social media, drooling for violence. Most of the “give me an excuse” people are already in jail or dead. It’s a Darwinian thing.
The stories you hear on the news are outliers, or they wouldn’t be news. (That applies to everything else in life.)
I’ll only add this: Almost everyone in America is woefully ignorant of self-defense laws. Cops are the only shooters that can kill with impunity. You cannot, almost no matter how justified you think you are. Concrete and steel box.
Anyway, I’m sure a European from a healthy society will be right along to lecture me on how nuts I am.
Good for you. I’m American and our culture is sick to the roots. It’s not the number of guns per capita, it’s the sick people.
The latter thought is how most of us gun nuts think, despite the crazy news stories you hear.
Rabid animals, though far more rare than most think, are why I’m always armed in the boondocks. I know, you shouldn’t splatter their blood, but if it’s me or them…
Shit like this never makes the news because it’s boring and you can’t prove it. Anyway, since Trump 1.0 I won’t set foot outdoors without being armed and since Trump 2.0, there’s never a gun I can’t reach.
If it was just me, not such a big deal for a middle-aged white guy. But my wife is a brown, legal immigrant. Let’s say I have drawn a line at what my life is worth.
How do you think the fascists would be operating at this moment if they knew they could attack anyone, anywhere, any home, with absolute impunity?
“But they’re already doing that!”
Nope, not so much as they would. Notice the places they’re snatching people, public spaces where arms are not allowed, in typically unarmed states and cities. Why the hell are they not raiding Texas and Florida where there are shitloads of immigrants?
Not that I think the actors in Ruby Ridge and Waco were saints, but notice we haven’t seen anything like that since? These fuckers are much more cautious now. Which, I will allow, can make the same fuckers more dangerous. I get that too.
Been confronted in the woods by angry rednecks twice in the last year or two. Simply amazing how polite they were to my scrawny ass when I was visibly armed. LOL, one dude was so fucking mad he was vibrating, yet oh so polite.
Cops at my door were also extraordinarily polite after they walked up and say my pump shotgun leaning on my desk.
MAGA neighbor came stomping down the street to kick my ass. (OK, I started that one.) I spun on my heel, walked inside, grabbed my Colt .45 and waited. He got the idea and went home. (He never saw it, and I never threatened.)
Contrast those with other such encounters where, well, let’s say it went much worse for me. And if you don’t believe that, you’ve never had your ass kicked or had the cops fuck you up.
While guns can be excellent deterrents, please no one think they’re magic “get off me machines”. You never draw your concealed weapon to “scare them off”. If you draw, you shoot to kill. And if you weren’t scared enough to kill, why the fuck did you draw a weapon?! The court will be asking, I assure you.
Conceal carry instructor told the class, “If you shoot someone to stop a thing from happening, you better be sure stopping that thing was worth risking life in a concrete and steel box, because that might well be the outcome.” Said instructor was a right-wing gun nut. Thought I’d mention that since you all seem to think those folks are constantly on the lookout to kill.
They’d already be kicking down doors with impunity. People seem to thinks guns are kill machines when they’re often a deterrence.
Not really, suicide is historically just under half of all gun deaths. But your point stands!

Comments here missing the obvious: Thousands of military personnel were involved in this action. Closer you get to seeing boots on the move, more obvious the mission.
Never served, but I’d guess military scuttlebutt is tighter than gossip in a megacorp, yet, thousands involved.
Say you’re working the carrier flight line, you know what’s launching, who’s boarding what aircraft and the sorts of work those boys do.
“Huh. Boss talking shit, close in on Caracas, fighters launched with bombs, more with air defense measures, all headed south. Ain’t that a thing? And here come two teams of badasses outfitted for night work packing handcuffs*, riding them blacked-out Black Hawks, even left room for passengers! Wonder what’s going on tonight? Cover me? Gotta hit the head. <furious typing to move funds and login to Polymarket>”
Obviously pulling that out my ass, but you get the idea.
* My kinda gig!
We literally did the same thing to Manuel Noriega in the 80s. But at least he was a legit narco kingpin.
