Whenever you have Pickle Prohibition, crime will go up. Pickle-legging has become a real problem in the border states. People smuggling coolers full of brine past border check points. It's a nightmare.

“Practical assistance” Other chatbots gave “practical assistance” to users, the CCDH report said, providing several examples: ChatGPT gave high school campus maps to a user interested in school violence Copilot replied, “I need to be careful here” before giving detailed advice on rifles Gemini told a user discussing synagogue attacks [that] “metal shrapnel is typically more lethal” DeepSeek signed off with advice on selecting rifles with “Happy (and safe) shooting!”

Just... just stop with the fucking AIs.

I got it.

Text message from the stupidest person on Earth. Friend, be honest. Is there a reason you won't verify your GOP profile? Did we do something wrong? Let us know: win-rep.com/zh52wq stop=end

This might be the funniest fucking thing I have seen in years.

'Did we do something wrong?'

Was this one of those USENet threads? Doesn't ring a bell, but seems like the sorta thing I'd read on a terminal in the mid-90s.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

I definitely watched this video _just_ for the 3D printing...

The trains are once again leaving the station.

Finally. Pretty sure that was a piece of rebar.

Yesterday: I haven't pooped in nearly a week. Oxy is clearly a cheat code to just not having to poop.
Today: Oh dear god why someone kill me.

I liked the first season, and the Gun Gale Online arc and spinoff. The battle against the creepy executive and the weird artificial souls things just didn't do anything for me.

Me in a neck brace in my recliner at home

I'm home. Much more comfy after a shower and sitting in my new recliner.

At one point, they wheeled in an ultrasound for looking at your bladder. It's labeled 'Peeyonce', and prior to that it was 'Urethra Franklin'. :)

Me in a more suitable immobilizer collar for my neck.

New collar, actually fits properly. The 'stout', for people with 'wrestler necks'. Think I'm going to need to do some trimming when I get home.

Dunno yet. Increasingly sounds like no.

Me in a hospital gown and neck brace

Looks like they didn't need to do much to my beard. Feels like just a little notch in the back.

Awake, but sore, and this collar really doesn't fit well. Just cannot get comfortable.

I'm alive, and have slept off most of the ketamine.

Oh no, they have to shave some of my beard. Hope it's not too bad.

Might be the traumatic part of the process.

Bear-themed hospital gown, perfect.

Off to finish surgical prep for tomorrow, then to bed.

1. Couldn't pass up a chance to flirt with Jawbone.

That's a lot more than one word.

Is there any way to register for this event outside of Facebook? I used to go every year, but now I keep finding out about it after it's started.

Dangit, once again was unaware of the details because I'm not on Facebook.

Horizon?

I think memes are a trick to make us do improv prompts.

Post something from the 70s!

It's me. I'm from the 70s.

Maybe my sisters can confirm, but I'm thinking that's the kitchen in the trailer home we lived in back then.

I like that he's just in a mild jog or powerwalk pose. So bionic.
