Don’t get me started on the Amtrak schedule…

But the bridge Amtrak goes over is about 1 mile north of this one and much harder to climb up because it isn’t abandoned lol

How would you know what career/life/goal you want to pursue if you don’t try it first at school? Is the purpose of school to teach you how to be an automaton working a dead end job? Cause that’s what it sounds like you want

Also describing music purely as a “hobby” is asinine

Lookup pc music and ag cook, that is the origins of hyperpop. And you have to listen to Sophie, she was the best

Well yeah obviously ai is a huge thing. What I mean is specifically, in a yt video for example, the creator makes a concerted effort to show how they used ai to find an answer.

 

I was watching this video and at the 8:00 minute mark, they say that popcorn does not have gluten. To prove this point, they edit in a screenshot showing the first result of google for “does popcorn have gluten,” which is the ai answer. I’ve seen similar in other videos or reels and it feels forced in a way. And to me, it doesn’t prove their claim correct because it’s the ai answer.

I don’t know, I’ve just noticed this more recently and wanted to make sure I wasn’t going crazy.

It honestly was fine for a kids movie. The story was so generic that it was impossible to mess up and would work with any character/setting.

I was disappointed with how boring it was. They should’ve leaned way more into the emoji aspect.

It’s been lasted more than a year. Its super easy for beginners and the gap between never played and mediocre player is pretty small in my experience. Groups of different ages/skill/athleticism can play the game relatively easy together. You can get drunk while playing and still be good. You don’t have to break a sweat if you don’t want to. Games are short.

I think it gets way too much flak and it is a little too overhyped rn. But it’s a top contender for the ideal casual game.

Yeah you're right, there was no such thing as stock markets until 2010 I heard

Before capitalism was invented in 2010 we were just guided by happiness and the pursuit of science and art and improving our livelihoods 🥰

Nah I get what you’re saying. Those are all good things and I agree with pretty much everything in your other comment. I just think that the Apollo missions and other space missions, despite bringing about good, did not occur because of good intentions.

But yeah you’re right that by learning about other planets we learn a lot about our own and how to move forward. A part of my brain just refuses to recognize most of the good in space exploration because the common attitude towards space exploration is similar to our attitude toward colonization.

Why when people describe living on the Moon or Mars do they use the word colonize? To me it implies that these spaces are only useful if we can extract profit. And now there’s talk of exploring other space rocks (sorry for broad term) because they contain precious metals we’re running out of on earth. It’s just gross to think that the only way space can be explored or properly funded is if it makes more money and ends up exploiting someone.

I’m not your buddy either 😡

as established, I don’t care about your opinion

  • keep responding to the antagonizer whose opinion I clearly care about

Calm down please

Buddy you picked one (one) sentence from my original comment, decided that was the only relevant bit of information, and then blabbered on about what it means to move the goalposts.

The reason I pointed out you copy/pasting the definition is because you clearly wanted it to look like you came up with that yourself. You didn’t put it in quotes and you didn’t add a link (unlike your other comments where you either provided a source or put a statement in quotes). You aren’t consistent, it makes you a bad writer.

Also we both sound like idiots in case you haven’t realized. It’s sounds so stupid to be like “yeah I actually won the comment chain cause I was only responding to the one hyperbolic and purposefully angering statement and not the other parts. So you’re the idiot actually”

And I sound stupid cause I keep responding to you. So how about we both agree we sufficiently wasted our time and leave it at that. 😣

 

Didn’t realize he had a YT channel and the most recent video blew up. Unsurprisingly very high quality and entertaining.
