We don’t just go out to work to pay for stuff upon stuff. We do have our own minds, our own opinions.

Except more and more people seem to be offloading that to LLMs

I bet the sky is orange at this moment somewhere in the world

Just the other day I had an interesting discussion with ChatGPT about the theory of humor

Jesus fucking Christ

The violence that Platner (voluntarily) participated in was absolutely not justified

It’s one of my issues with him (not really relevant since I can’t vote in Maine). It’s a combination of things, but the four tours in Iraq and then working for Blackwater is a major issue with him imo

Maybe we should have higher fucking standards than “boy, I hope this guy doesn’t turn out to actually be a Nazi like the tattoo suggested”

Oh ok so you don’t know how elections work in the US. Got it.

Nah, all she has to do is say some leftist-adjacent things and suddenly none of that matters anymore

Fuck Nazis and fuck murderers who get Nazi tattoos.

And I guess fuck me for having standards.

You’ve got it backwards. Sales tax is what the person purchasing the thing pays.

Amazon, Meta and Google all signed agreements between 2014 and 2018 that granted them 100% sales tax exemptions for up to 40 years on any facility built in Ohio if the companies invested a certain amount in the state.

[…]

When you add them all up, Ohio has given up at least $2.3 billion in sales taxes, according to documents from the Ohio Department of Development that were shared with Cleveland.com.

And the last contract doesn’t expire until 2058.

Seems like they are though, huh

Is this what is actually happening? Or is that just how you’d want for it to be done?

Representation matters in so many ways because it helps normalize diversity. Something that the alt-right have a huge problem with apparently.

Not only that, but it just makes for better, more compelling stories. And a much better variety of the types of stories.

Which characters are those? Is the guy talking Reed Richards?

Edit: oh wait, maybe Colossus? Just saw the pointy shoulder things…

Marvel has always been good with this.

Just look at X-Men. The whole thing is an allegory for marginalized groups

The number of people they use in that kind of calculation is constantly shifting.

If you add 100k jobs, while also having 100k people entering the demographic, then the % is gonna stay the same

I’ve heard whiteness be described as “proximity to power”, which seemed pretty accurate

It also feels like the controls were designed by someone who’s never played a video game before

If they are looking for what you just described, then I would have to recommend Animal Well

Immortals: Fenyx Rising
