Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

Look, I'm pro-legalization but maybe we need to make an exception banning it for dipshit podcasters.

I declined applying for disability despite more than one provider encouraging me to do so, SPECIFICALLY because of the income cap.
I don't think enough people realize that for many folks on disability they cannot risk having over a VERY low cap of money/property or they will lose their benefits nearly immediately
It often prevents folks from marrying as well it's ludicrous

Should also be noted that they are now admitting that they committed murder according to US and international law, and are only quibbling over who is to blame.
The fall guy. Though he is probably also guilty of first degree murder.

"we found a Type Of Guy who represents a particularly helpful corner of the latent space" is easily my favorite type of positive LLM posting.
Our Discord support agent was kind of annoying, so I asked it to pretend to be a 58-year old systems administrator from Ohio that wrote on forums a lot.
Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.

one thing that receives almost no attention is that the only reason he ran for president again is because he had to to avoid prosecution for a litany of crimes, the whole plan was: 1). Take shelter in SCOTUS-granted immunity. 2). Loot.
trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I agree with this video but I will caveat that I did have an absolute brain fart in a coffee shop a couple of months ago trying to ask for an iced coffee, I drink takeout so infrequently now I forgot how you order so was stood there like an absolute boomer when the barista was like ' ...a latte?' 🥲
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

I think a D&D-style "good and evil as intrinsic properties of some magic and creatures" framed as in-universe propaganda could be quite interesting.
The paladin questioning her faith as Detect Evil keeps telling her to smite the woman marked as Evil, but something about it just feels wrong.
