  • Llms can’t even do math.

    Neither can a substantial amount of high school graduates in the US. Corporate is just hedging their bets that AI does slightly closer to accurate math and that meat machines are cheaper for physical labor than having to build robots. Besides, math is unimportant to capitalism. A company that loses billions a year is still worth investing trillions in.



  • I don’t recall any smoking. Not nearly as crazy violent as 300 (are we fighting, fucking, or both) and not nearly as crazy ex-gf who spent the last few hundred years plotting her revenge as she was in Dark Shadows. I’d put it squarely in an average outing with Eva- capable woman stuck in a period/system that doesn’t actually appreciate her capability even if it can’t deny it, she’s aware she’s smart and attractive and uses that to her advantage as she can, but she’s also more broken inside than she lets on.

    This has made me realize it would be hilarious to watch her invert her typical characters and be the small town girl who moved the the big city where she got overworked and broken hearted only to come home for a Hallmark Christmas and find she always had what she needed waiting for her in a flannel clad handyman with a beat-up pick-up truck and slice of pie at the diner. The twist ending is that she’s actually nuts and this was all a ruse to burn her town to the ground.






  • I have a theory about why Vance was picked. If the Epstein files became something that actually would have resulted in Trump getting impeached, Vance is likely not in them and would be allowed to take over the presidency as puppet. As it’s become appearant that nothing is going to come of the files, or any of his actions really, Vance sorta faded away. He is also rather incompetent, a poor speaker, and doesn’t have the bombast to be Trump’s replacement so I can see why they brushed him aside.




  • I think that sums up a lot of MAGA. They sorta hitched their wagon to a candidate expecting trickle down benefits. Now they’re stuck with no reward and all the consequences, but they can’t get off the ride because if they do they’ll be accountable. It’s Rommel 2.0. You enabled a POS, you were allowed to be a POS, you recognize the POS you’ve enabled is beyond your control. Do your duty, undermine and remove them, or die.



  • Pick your battles, know who you’re up against, respond accordingly. I’ve never been in a “gang” but I have been in a crew that tried to keep our community and our peers safe. Our local ethnocentric gangs are Bosnians and Russians. They kinda do their own thing and mostly run gambling houses and sex trafficking, and while I don’t abide the latter, I also know enough to not push it. South Siders, our local HA sub-chapter, and the various white nationalists are a different story. We’ve fought those fuckers in alleys, kicked ass and had my ass kicked. We ran the Hammerskins out of town and I’ll always be proud of that fight. But, no ego, all these people are dangerous. I’ve had friends die over these battles. One had his head stomped into an unrecognizable goo by some South Siders over a drug deal, another was trafficked by bikers from the time she was 12, and another had a biker dad that used him to move product in his teens and ended up in prison because he was the fall guy. There’s some smart, terrible, morally bankrupt folks out there.






  • Fuck. My mom was the abuser, my dad the one who abided it when she was around but in private acknowledged she was a monster. All my friends had divorced parents, I so wished they’d split so I could live with him, flawed as he was. He at least seemed to have some form of humanity. Religion, social standing, money, and the outward appearance of American Dream were the reason they never split. I wonder sometimes how their golden years are working out. None of their kids talk to them, none of us have them grandkids, and only one of us remains marginally religious (she’s figuring her escape out). Your dream failed, fuckers.
