#LunarEclipse FAQ:
Q: Is it safe to look at?
A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.
Q: Do I need a telescope?
A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!
Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
A: Not at all! The news has that covered.
I feel like "structurally *unaware* of the truth" is more accurate.
Indifferent implies that they "know" what's true and are, well, indifferent to it. But they don't and can't. There's no there there to do the knowing with.
Evergreen. Sigh.
Asking an LLM something is just like asking a random stranger for a film review. What they tell you could very well be true, but you have no way of knowing that. You can't trust the source, because there may well be no source. It's just confident-sounding words.
I was thinking of an analogy for this the other day, specifically about trusted sources vs. AI output. What I think it's like is if you want to see a movie, and you don't really know anything about it (maybe title, genre, one actor in it, idk) so you do some research.
Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale
You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes
Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-
When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location
Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.
@brian.dev Hi, Brian. Please check your messages at tty0.social. Please consider making JdeBP a mod. Thanks.
“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

And, to be fair, where I live also sucks.
Stay TF out of Kansas.
Easy for me to say, I know.
"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
Picture of two pens. The first is an ordinary ballpoint pen, with the caption “how work feels doing it alone”. The second is a picture of one of those novelty pens with ten colours that you had when you were thirteen, with the caption, “how work feels worh an AI employee”. At their bottom it says “hire an AI employee for $0.97/day”.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?
From their review: "Woodnose's balanced option is not technically an amaretto—it’s made in Vermont from local maple syrup and aged in bourbon barrels, and it's vegan, organic, and gluten-free. using sustainably farmed ingredients. Yet, the rich drink has a lovely sweetness with roasted espresso notes and a salted caramel bitterness."
They left out that it also tastes distinctly of vinegar.
I'm not sure I want to drink this stuff at all, ever again, never mind as some kind of amaretto substitute.
I gotta say I disagree with The Spruce Eats including Woodnose Sacré Zero Proof on their list of Best Amarettos. It tastes nothing like amarettto.
Has France ever said, just for fun, how much we owe them for their help in the US war for independence?
"You might still be speaking English!"
Or perhaps more horrifying to Americans, "You might be using the metric system!"
I imagine both of these with an outrageous French accent.
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.
What appears to be a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field is actually a normal sized praying mantis that's actually sitting on my windshield
Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.
It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.
There's a whole movie about Soylent.
Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.
all this is both foolish and unnecessary
Does Matt's ... I can't even call it an "argument". Does Matt's assertion apply to other nations, too, or just us?
Hey, can we choose Presidents this way too?
Unrelated question: what were Obama's and Trump's SAT scores? Vance's? Harris's?
Let me guess: my man George did really well on whatever test he's proposing we use.
Does "flagged" normally mean "unavailable"? It's still up on the US site.
