Thanks for the gibberish. So many words to say absolutely nothing.

This is a really stupid argument. The thing that makes athletes special is their biology.

There's a reason that DK Metcalf towers over all of the cornerbacks in the NFL. He's a biological specimen that has incredible agility, height, muscle mass, and speed.

Michael Phelps also has a biological advantage that very few humans have.

None of this excludes them over their competition.

Fuck Nate Silver.

The fact that this is what it took is about as indicative of power decline and descent into straight up fascism as it gets. If Trump didn't run in like a bull in the China shop, I'm fairly certain, it wouldn't have gone negative.

So a full blown holocaust.

James Carville is a person nobody should take advice from ever again.

I also work in the industry. In particular I work in data analytics consulting. It’s all hype to sell consulting hours and compute.

AGI is not in reach. We need to stop this incessant parroting from tech companies. LLMs are stochastic parrots. They guess the next word. There's no thought or reasoning. They don't understand inputs. They mimic human speech. They're not presenting anything meaningful.

Not at all. I just mean we need to flood local politics with progressive candidates. When that happens, there's not enough eyes on all the political posts so chances are greater that we can affect change.

Let's encourage progressives to actually run.

It's insane that we don't have any recourse to sue the US government and Elon musk personally for hacking into our private data.

 

I think it's absolutely appalling that Sony is raising prices on controllers while basically under supplying the dual sense edge joysticks and refusing to fix the stick drift issues. I have 3 controllers and each one of them has the same problem after a few months. It's maddening.

 
 

If you need a clearer example of how the Clintons are opportunist scumbags that will use race to get elected in one breath and throw minorities under the bus if they don't agree with their horrific world views.

 

Absolute shame that this show got canceled.

 

The difference between European countries and America is becoming so stark. Anyone reading or watching global news has to see how backwards this country is and that it’s only getting worse.

 

It’s about time that Intuit was called out for their scam. Hopefully, the attempt to stop the federal tax filing will get dismissed as well.
