First sentence of each paragraph: correct.

Basically all the rest is bunk besides the fact that you can’t count on always getting reliable information. Right answers (especially for something that is technical but non-verifiable), wrong reasons.

There are “stochastic language models” I suppose (e.g., click the middle suggestion from your phone after typing the first word to create a message), but something like chatgpt or perplexity or deepseek are not that, beyond using tokenization / word2vect-like setups to make human readable text. These are a lot more like “don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia” than a randomized acid drop response.

Multiplayer online battle arena?

It’s tower defense with extra steps.

I can’t maintain it after I fall asleep for some reason. My wife and I still live in separate houses while we perfect the strategy.

Is that rap slang if you’re referring to a lady? 😬🫣

Putting the gin in Nginx.

N-jinks is silly, f-stab is cool.

Does this mean when you go into an airport bathroom and see the hand dryer, you know it’s called an XLerator (ex-LAIReighter)?

That video… is lacking. So many words, but no real beginner content IMO. It is heavy on prose and short on examples and their impact. I’m reading over the list provided in the video comments and it is, while still very wordy, much better.

As many as I have now? They aren’t coming out and I don’t plan to off myself because of that.

Depends how you drank.

In college when a heavy night could have meant sharing a 5th with one other person then switching to beer? A whole day or maybe 2. As an almost 40 something who had the third one and my lips tingled once? Gone by 9 am usually, unless I woke up to pee and drink 12 to 15 swallows of water then I wake up fine.

That puke and rally 21 to 28 was a glorious time, but you will never get it back lol.

Pepcid complete. It’s a life saver

IMO no equivalent. The closest word people might use is really derogatory, and has a connotation of being overly masculine for a woman.

In the spirit of describing women who are extremely proficient at a sport but not being indirectly called masculine… the word is probably just “athletic”.

Only if you decide to forget everyone else to go focus on your own happiness while you live in the woods.

Under trump yes it’s both overt and flagrant. Any of his friends, people he owes, people he likes, or those in his orbit get things like cabinet positions, or government contracts, or ambassadorships. This is new under trump. There have always been better or worse candidates for positions and questionable angling, but the “my kid gets this position, her father in law gets that one, this fox news guy gets this” undeniable.

This is in addition to the fact that the connections are now in the open as well. Trump just calls up a supreme Court justice when he’s got a case before them and they answer. Senators, governors, and of course house reps are the same and increasingly industry CEOs are playing the game.

To wrap a brief oligarchy/plutocracy comment, you can even go find a soundbite by trump that says basically “Elon gave us a lot of money, so I guess I’m a fan of electric cars now”. There is no more quiet part, or quiet part loud, it’s just all loud.

That’s a funny typo, but I gotta fix it.

The very situation we are in now was greatly enabled because lots of people did what you are doing. Dont lose sleep and sacrifice your health (edit not help), but if you were ever an undecided candidate while Trump was running, or you don’t know what an oligarchy or nepotism is or why they’re relevant, or can’t recount what happened on Jan 6 2021, you NEED to pay more attention.

Man this thread is full of people asking to get jerked around by the cops. “AM I bEiNg DetaIneD?!” Well, you definitely upped your chances.

Here’s a life lesson: don’t act like a fuckwad to anybody and your outcomes are likely to be better across the board.

Probably no. I don’t like art because a human made it, I like it because it looks / sounds / feels good. I presume most other consumers feel the same way generally.

And it still isn’t very good. Family is important yay here’s some music. All painted on a brilliant background tapestry of “it’s cool to not be special” and “Latinos are magical”.

If we are just cycling through cultures not represented in Disney yet and I ended up getting an encanto equivalent I’d be honestly pretty let down.
