Man the “miracles” he “performed” to get beatified are so fucking thin its ridiculous even for the church. Some kids were supposedly cured of disease after their moms prayed to him. Like…thats it. No jesus image on toast, no statues weeping blood. Just some ladies say they prayed to this random kid and one touched his shirt and their kids happened to get better from some illnesses.
That was my first reaction. Using LLMs is a lot like being a manager. You have to describe goals/tasks and delegate them, while usually not doing any of the tasks yourself.
And also he defined that term very specifically. He said only that Trump is acting in the best interests of Russia. When someone normally uses that language, they mean they are in the employ of a country, like a spy.
So, it’s meant to be inflammatory and spur action on the part of the US and Europe.
Sterols. Lipids found in pollen. Specifically, yeast enriched with sterols.
This is one thing I think about with AI and technological progress. Optimists say that technological advancement could free people up for more creative work, fund UBI, etc.
I think that without a serious overhaul of the legal and societal frameworks of Western countries, jobs that only people can do well or are too costly to automate could become the only way to earn a living for most people.
Like sex work, for instance. The poor underclass would expand, the wealth gap would widen and labor exploitation would become much worse. Voíla, suddenly children seeing prostitution as an aspirational career becomes more common because that may be an increasingly likely eventuality.
If only one side fights dirty, then only one side will ever want to pass laws to prevent fighting dirty.
If one side fights dirty and the other side does too, now both sides have an interest in leveling the playing field.
Assuming they’re approximately of equal power and fight equally dirty.
Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.
Ich spreche kein Deutch, aber ich lerne durch deiner Memes. Danke schön.
I have 2 monitors at different resolutions, works fine and my desktop/icon theme/etc is very pretty imo. I do agree that mint out of the box is maybe equally/sliiiightly less pretty than windows - but as soon as you change the shitty default wallpaper it is prettier imo.
That is true about Adobe products. But fuck adobe. And if you need Adobe, then just dual boot.
+1 to Mint. It is a very easy transition & you will not have ragerts.
Pros:
prettier than windows while having a similar interface
more responsive than windows
more stable than windows
zero spyware/bloatware
basically the same level of software compatibility as windows
Only things that take some research ahead of time or getting used to imo:
deciding how you want to partition your drives during installation (you can let it automatically do this, but there are reasons to create a different partition structure across drives/have different sized partitions),
mounting drives. There are GUI tools for this (file explorer for mounting, gparted for formatting), so it really isn’t a big deal, but it is a little more difficult than with Windows and you may need to reformat your drives depending what file format they’re currently in.
make sure your motherboard/video card/cpu all work well with linux. They should, but just check first.
note that games requiring kernel level anticheat (aka spyware) won’t work. So if that’s a deal breaker, then dual boot or don’t switch.
Dubya had serious rizz. Stupid rizz, but that was like his whole thing. There was a whole discourse around “he’s the sort of guy you’d want to grab a beer with”. People found Bush much more charismatic than Kerry on the whole.
Also, say what you want about trump, but charisma is like the one thing he has. It’s super grating to me, but a lot of people find his whole schtick very magnetic.
It’s especially ironic because they aren’t that concerned about absenteeism in the sense of “people skipping out on work”. They’re concerned about people doing the requisite amount of work in a different place than the company would prefer
What he “means” to the extent this isn’t just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:
The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people (usually black people, but not exclusively) who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future. Not that this is actually true, but that’s the idea.
he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
he’s saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.
also, he thinks that he is an intellectual and that his tweet is a serious philosophical argument.
This dude sucks so much. And everything I’ve ever read about him makes him seem like the most annoying kind in philosophy class who thinks he’s smart but is a dumbass. And also very racist.
Man imagine if aquinas had said that the plague of frogs was actually just one giant kaiju frog or like the camels that try to pass through the eyes of needles are just really tiny or something
I had to look it up and the meme is true, apparently.

There was a rabbinic/talmudic scholar named Rashi who even suggested that:
צפרדע אחת היתה והיו מכין אותה והיא מתזת נחילים נחילים זהו מדרשו
There was only one frog, and when the Egyptians would beat it with sticks, swarms of frogs would ricochet from it.
I agree. A lot of people don’t know where to start, though. And there is a lot of bad information out there.

My father in law was just bragging about how the treasury earned over $100B in tariffs so far as though it’s not just foreign companies importers passing that cost on to consumers.
It’s literally just a $100B sales tax hike. So far.
Edit: yeah, the cost is paid by importers, not exporters. So it’s literally a tax on US-based importers passed on to US consumers.
AOC would make an amazing VP pick. Could bring a lot of energy to a campaign and get youth/working class support.
