was it found in a six-foot, seven-foot, eight-foot bunch?

it’s possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn’t make any mistakes.
that’s not fodder for a pithy quote. that’s denial.

- Comment on Senior Modi cabinet minister linked to India-supported violence in Canada: officials 2 weeks ago:
The Washington Post first reported that Canadian officials alleged Indian Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah was behind a campaign of violence and intimidation targeting Sikh separatists in Canada.
Shah is not just a “senior member of Modi’s cabinet”. he’s the architect behind Modi’s tenure as prime minister since 2014. he’s very much the king-maker in this story.
he’s one of the stokers of the fervent right-wing saffron-tinged flame of hindutva that’s consumed so many voters into blind allegiance over the last decade. he’s smart, cunning, and perhaps one of the most dangerous persons alive today.
- Comment on How The New York Times is using generative AI as a reporting tool 2 weeks ago:
In general, the report found that the AI summaries showed “a limited ability to analyze and summarize complex content requiring a deep understanding of context, subtle nuances, or implicit meaning.” Even worse, the Llama summaries often “generated text that was grammatically correct, but on occasion factually inaccurate,”
how is this being accepted? one would have to go through any output with a fine-toothed comb anyway to weed out ai hallucinations, as well as to preserve nuance and context.
it’s like the ai tells you that mona lisa has three eyes and a nose and her mouth is closed but her denim jacket is open. you’re going to report that in your story without ever looking at the painting?

- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 2 weeks ago:
employees of companies with whom you’ve registered that email id sell it for some quick cash on the side.
i can aver this confidently since i know someone from dominos pizza has leaked my email id. i have a convoluted gmail id which i use to register to all these services and – because it’s gmail – i can set up random dots and a custom phrase behind a + to register specific variants to specific companies (e.g., abcxyz123@gmail vs. ab.c.xyz123+dominos@gmail).
all the spam and pseudo-phishing email is sent only to the variant which i’ve registered to dominos and not to a different variant (e.g., a.bcxyz123+bankname@gmail) registered to any other company.
the leaked email id doesn’t contain a name and is too random for it to just be “guessed” by the spammers.

- Comment on Every phone call you make with just the mic near your mouth and the speaker near your ear, you are having a conversational 69 where both of you are placing your mouths next to each other's ears. 1 month ago:
topologically, though, isn’t that just the same as all speaking and listening? it’s all mouth to ear.
if anything, force-fitting 69 seems unduly contrived. like if you shake someone by the hand, the top of your palm 69’s the bottom of theirs. or if you give them a high-five, it’s the forefinger and pinky.
or if you respond to this comment, we’ll be 69ing each other’s eyes with our fingers.
