Trump wasn’t a client. He was a partner.

But wait, there’s more:

99% of all arguments on the internet. Someone is almost always going to engage in some kind of pedantry, butwhatabout, technicality, argumentative fallacy, etc. to try to make themselves right and/or imply the OP was wrong in some way. They are not open to having their mind changed. Especially when it comes to politics, and there’s essentially no hope for religion at all. This generally applies to IRL discussions, too. At least the internet argument you can just walk away, block, or unsubscribe to any replies to the thread.

In the same vein…expecting anyone to change. People have to change themselves, and it’s not up to you. You can’t make it happen except maybe in the most extreme situations, and even then it might be iffy.

And I hate to say it, apologizing on the internet. Once the downvote train starts and shitting on the offender’s posts there’s almost no way out and any apology isn’t worth the effort. I find this kinda hypocritical seeing as there are numerous internet posts about the value of admitting you don’t know something or might have it wrong, and how we shouldn’t shame people for admitting that, yet if someone screws up and apologizes they’re usually hosed. Just reinforces not apologizing.

On his way home from a second or third job at food service that refused to close despite the storm and had no customers.

AI making up stupid, factually incorrect, or absurd responses: Ignore those issues. Copy/paste as a source without checking. More AI!

AI making factually correct but inconvenient responses: Let’s put lots of effort into making sure that doesn’t happen.

That’s not how that works. There are no separate residential lines for police.

The rest, that’s not how that works, either.

This right here. BofA made over a billion in overdraft/NSF fees. Keeping poor people poor.

It’s pretty much a street with a bunch of expensive trendy outlet shops on it. Like UniQlo, Gucci, Breitling, or whatever. Same trendy shit that’s always grouped together.

Run all the samples through a computer, write a prompt telling it to create music in the style of (x), and keep tweaking the prompt to reiterate the result until something desirable emerges. No skill or understanding of music required, just keep hitting “generate” or whatever until something gets spit out that sounds good.

Vs

Thousands of hours of music making experience, understanding of musical styles, lyric arrangement, composition, heck…even music theory and the ability to read and write musical notes…and take all of that and make something original that, with permission of the original artist, uses modified clips of others’ tracks.

Sampling isn’t the defining difference.

Probably saw it in some passing meme while he endlessly scrolls Twitter and Truth Social between golf and Mar a Lago.

Maybe that was the plan. Get a bunch of pissed off voters to elect dems in various places, then wait a couple days to “fuck over” everyone after the seats had been won and vote for the republican legislation.

Good point. We just need some despot to name their country “The Capitalist Democracy of Whatever” and it’s a dictatorship shithole.

Oh wait, guess that’s gonna be us?

Communism and socialism are bad words because of a long, long running effort by the right wing and US in general to paint them as bad. It doesn’t help much that dictators use them to describe their country while pillaging it.

TIL.

Pown’d.

Cross body phone sock.

What’s original about most popular songs. They’re usually lyrically simple with a catchy beat and chorus. Something AI would easily be good at and it could churn out mediocre music easily, and a catchy popular tune wouldn’t be too difficult with interation. Country is no exception.

IIRC mussels were “unclean”, so would that jive with the whole demonic sin thing?

That sucks.

I left myself after being shouted down over criticizing a game for restricting player kits. The game was more fun without the restrictions, but fuck me for wanting more freedom in player classes.

And the mom/fam was able to call from overseas to local PD, and leave various messages with friends or neighbors to check on Kevin.

The lines weren’t down. If local lines are non-functioning, all phone traffic is inoperative regardless if it’s long distance or not. Kevin also called for Pizza and the police himself.

Let’s face it, the phone is a plot hole.
