Even when things reopen, I'm assuming anyone hired to fill those positions will be blind loyalists.

They're the same people who whine about seeing different types of bread.

A conservative whining about seeing bread they don't like.

Profit waits for nothing.

If that isn't a Rule of Acquisition it probably should be.

But you shared it. Now it won't come true.

Exatron @exatron.bsky.social · 4d

I don't. You hate dealing with things like this, and I get why.

Yeah, they're bad at communicating. Strangely, that's still better than dealing with Mastodon for most people.

That's what I thought was probably going on. Pattern recognition is one of the few areas where an algorithm like that is acceptable, even if you do have to keep an eye on what it's doing. Generative AI is what people should be concerned about.

I'm especially fond of the jogger guy. Guys with big legs look great in shorts like that.

And I'm sorry that AI is frelling infesting everything.

There's a way to make it thaw faster. Put it in a sealable container, like a zip lock bag, fill a larger container with lukewarm water and put the wrapped up steak in that. The mild heat from the water will thaw the steak faster than the air.

Somehow, this wasn't a trap.

Figuring out what's going on with that account is like the inverse of the Turing Test.

It makes sense to me. You want people to be the size/shape they want even if it isn't the size/shape you want for yourself.

It's almost like your unsubstantiated claims are worthy of condescension, princess.

Exatron @exatron.bsky.social · 12d

You don't know what an insult is, do you, kiddo?

Exatron @exatron.bsky.social · 12d

We're waiting for you provide something with substance to support your claims, pumpkin.

Exatron @exatron.bsky.social · 12d

I haven't spewed a single insult, champ.

I'm asking you to explain how sovereign immunity applies here. So far, all you've done is shriek that random podcasts said so.

If you want answers to your questions, you're going to have to answer mine first.

If you're going to post a random screenshot, you should really take the time to read it, scout. That disproved your claim.

Exatron @exatron.bsky.social · 12d

No, sport, I asked you to back up your claim. All you did was get upset. And now all you do is give a screenshot that disproved your own claim. They wouldn't be suded in a personal capacity, their office would be sued. That makes the notion of an "official act" irrelevant.

Two alleged lawyers running a podcast. That's all you've got, buttercup.
