I’m surprised there aren’t more high level assassinations.
- Comment on How is spontaneous betting (as portrayed by comics and movies) supposed to work? 3 days ago:
I just assume there are spontaneous bookies. I have seen gambling addicts become spontaneous bookies at events. They understand the odds better than most and just build in a big vig to reduce downside liability, espescially if they think there won’t be a lot of transactions.

- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 4 days ago:
Reframe spending as stimulating the economy.
Create jobs through a green new deal that allows for upeard mobility for the motivated. Small business grants.
Create tax incentives for, endorse and give loam grants to businesses that provide workers with a share of a company. Whether co-op type thing or convoluted stock share program.
Young men want to matter, and they want to see the results of their effort.

I just don’t give a fuck. Adidas slides are basically my only good weather shoe. And most of the time I slide them into each other and stick them into my cargo short pocket. I have been doing this for like over 30 years and I hope to keep living life like this for the next 30 years.

There are people who tie a wire around their toe to ground them to the earth when they sleep in bed… So
- Comment on The Health Departments should create Kitchen Nightmares type shows and use proceeds to dor further funding. 1 week ago:
You would just package 2 of them in one episode and show the good sides of the restaurant. Fresh ingredients, clean facilities, etc as like a mini advertisement. They could be like adverts and incentivize the restaurants to let them film.
Plus not all TV has to be dramatic.

I think by nature it would be that way as they aren’t going to do a half dozen reshoots to get a dramatic conversation. It could also be a nice advertisement for clean restaurants. How reassuring would it be to see that your favorite restaurant is using fresh ingredients that are dated, stored and handled properly!

You can also use an analog tracker…

It’s almost getting harder to find accurate information now with information overload, especially when a ton of it is just AI or SEI marketing sites.

- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 2 weeks ago:
Generating excercises. Not only is it a way to cut staffing, but now you don’t know if the thing you just learned is a real word or phrase or if AI hallucinated it up.

It would be easy to find out, in fact they might pay you to find out!
- Comment on The solution to many problems 3 weeks ago:
They did… and it caused most people to stop smoking. Building that social stigma was like one of the best health marketing campaigns in history.
I say this as someone who used to and still does smoke time to time.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 3 weeks ago:
Its not just electricians, its got a stigma that seems really hard to overcome without some sort of education campaign. People wont buy a place that has aluminum wires.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 4 weeks ago:
The Sunlit Man is even more tech combined with magic. Read that one yet?
What other books do you like in that genre? I loved Mistborn/Cosmere realm and Powder Mage series.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 4 weeks ago:
Most magic books have a magic system that seems to be backed up by sciencey like explanations for their universe.
I can only think of a few that don’t, like Harry Potter.
- Comment on I just came across an AI called Sesame that appears to have been explicitly trained to deny and lie about the Palestinian genocide 4 weeks ago:
Wow… I don’t use AI much so I didn’t believe you.
The last time I got this response was when I got into a debate with AI about it being morally acceptable to eat dolphins because they are capable of rape…

They might have active parents lol. When I was growing up, very few parents cared what we were doing as long as we weren’t flipping cars or coming home in a police cruiser.
- Comment on Cut up those shitposts 4 weeks ago:
They replaced the foods with crap. A lot of people can’t afford vegetables and fruit and there are people living in food deserts who only have access to a family dollar for shopping.
It’s a real problem and they just cut all the funding to help get healthier food into these places.

Its actually an experiment to see how long someone can survive off Twix. The administrator is simply keeping the subject entertained with this left right twix discussion.

I don’t see how AI helps with crypto mining. It could help with pump and dumping shit coins though.

Why? Landlords usually have more capital accessible to make this kind of move.

Oh this is way older than 20 years old. My grandpa was telling this joke like 50 years ago. He also was a school teacher, I suspect it has been circulating through schools for the last 60+ years.
