Look, I’ll do it for a hundred bucks just to spite this person who wrote a pretty good reply. Be the chaos you want to see.

Usual Suspects.
“This indictment has absolutely nothing to do with Marty Small’s tenure as mayor of Atlantic City,” said his lawyer, Ed Jacobs. “There’s no charge of corruption or any official misconduct. Marty and La’Quetta Small don’t need the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office meddling into a private family matter.”
Maybe people don’t want a mayor who hits his daughter. Did you consider that? No matter how good someone is at being mayor, I don’t want them if they hit their child.
So I was justified when I left those dishes in the sink. Thank goodness. Thank you, Jesus.
I opened the article. I didn’t read it. I think I might need another break from being online. It’s a difficult time to do that, as we’re about to travel to visit family. Being in airports, catching connecting flights, taking rideshares to hotels… without being online? I know we used to do this with books and music. I might be facing a trial from hell.
What a nothing story. Pretty much reads as, “we asked, they said we can’t talk about it but if anything happened we’re looking into it.”
Lonnie sucks. It’s too bad I’m not an incredibly rich asshole who can break laws regarding financial stuff, slander, and stochastic terrorism while getting away with it.
That’s a special kind of evil. I think I’m mostly ok with it.
Jfc with the stochastic terrorism.
Great idea, actually.
Target ran from the fight for equality and now we don’t shop there. Fuck these corporate cowards. Withhold your business.
Officer Bianchi, who joined the force in 2015, said in his lawsuit and in subsequent interviews that the standard practice in his precinct, the 123rd on Staten Island, was to avoid ticketing drivers who had cards issued by police unions — known as courtesy cards — which officers distribute to their friends and family. His troubles in the department, he said, stemmed from his willingness to issue tickets to cardholders.
Naked corruption.
The settlement did not involve any admission of wrongdoing from the city, which in court papers denied most of Officer Bianchi’s allegations, including those about Chief Maddrey’s role in his transfer.
No lessons learned. At taxpayers’ expense.
Yeah, well my mental health was a greater priority as I was in a shitty place for a number of years. I’m not here to be a crusader when I’m barely staying alive. (That time of my life has happily been in the rearview mirror for a while now.)
My mother broke our “no politics” rule that saved our relationship in 2020 this morning. She said someone told her this was really happening (she’s not super online) and upset me terribly. I couldn’t function for work for about five minutes after. I’m ashamed of her terrible politics.
We were going to a concert and my partner dressed fancier than I thought made sense. I made an offhand remark about just dress like every day and that made her feel bad. She just liked having an excuse to dress up and I accidentally (because it wasn’t my intent) robbed that from her. I felt super shitty about it. I won’t ever say anything like that again.
Nothing good will come of that.
Baseball.
What a shitty outcome that I hadn’t considered.
Oh, wow. I really love it.
The researchers think a deep understanding of a given theory is vital to tackling errant beliefs. “Canned” debunking attempts, they argue, are too broad to address “the specific evidence accepted by the believer,” which means they often fail. Because large language models like GPT-4 Turbo can quickly reference web-based material related to a particular belief or piece of “evidence,” they mimic an expert in that specific belief; in short, they become a more effective conversation partner and debunker than can be found at your Thanksgiving dinner table or heated Discord chat with friends.
This is great news. The emotional labor needed to talk these people down is emotionally and mentally damaging. Offloading it to software is a great use of the technology that has real value.
He’s a sociopath, but other than that he’s a great guy.
