My theory remains: Platner does not think the Nazis were right, but he does think they were cool

I have not been following Iran super closely, but more closely than most Americans do. And let me tell you, I have no idea what is even supposed to be the reason this started, or what victory conditions would look like. I have to imagine most Americans don’t, either.

Oh no! Stay safe!

Joe isn’t good enough for her, ungrateful and contemptuous jerk. A lovely home with a regular card game and a pool. Nor is he good enough for Betty Schaefer.

This constantly repeated scenario of hundreds of thousands fleeing from one bombed out location only to then be forced to flee from another. What a moral stain.

I'm away for like two days and look what's happened to the philosophy discourse.

HOVERCRAFT!

Hate it when my bombs interrupt my constitutionals.

Me neither! I just deleted because I fear I was more insipid than I feel.

Oh I thought that could come first and then after.

No. But I think people should talk accurately about it.

There are 73,00 worries about AI, but preparing realistically for those requires us to see what they actually do. The simplest explanation for people saying β€œI find this useful” is that they find it useful.

Just growl β€œyou sound see the other guy” and refuse to answer any more questions

08.03.2026 00:02 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

No that’s exactly what I find frustrating! I use AI for limited household tasks that are boring and not at all creative.

This, like many AI criticisms that assume it’s never useful for anyone, that what you’re using it for is a career and that your career represents a self-actualization that your intellect demands. Neither are necessarily true! Tedious, unfulfilling tasks exist.

GOP lawmakers said they hope a rabid raccoon will bring a steadier hand to lead the Department of Homeland Security and help restore public confidence in the president’s immigration agenda.

I’m older than you and I was so shocked and moved to see in Juno that the woman who was anxious about nursery paint colors was the hero compared to the insouciant guy. It was just so counter to the usual Gen X perspective on gender relations.

I know, I think it’s hilarious that the picture he chose was of an empty and currently unusable playground
