Nothing valuable, but I discovered a cache of Matchbox cars, coins, spoons, and small plastic toys all in a small spot in my yard when I first moved in. Seemed cool imaging the kids playing there years prior. Building tunnels in the dirt to drive their cars through and accidentally burying them for me to find later.
Which is also in Georgia.
Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:
The fetish stuff is all created by people who can’t experience ASMR and just assume it’s what being horny feels like. Sad really.
Muse for the Simulation Theory tour. Marching bands, lasers, smoke cannons, Murph… it had everything.
No “Roger Rabbit”? Pshhh…
When the chest hair grows back, it’s going to a whole new level.
What, you think I don’t have any friends? Sigh. You are mostly correct. But I have this one.
He’s been renting for years. He’s definitely moving. All clear.
This is going to be my new way to antagonize conservatives I know:
ME: Did you know Harris has had 5 kids with 3 different partners?!
MORON: I don’t doubt it. She’s a whore!
ME: Oh sorry, I meant Trump.
I figured Joe Pesci was done after The Irishman.
Stacy has since gotten a sad amount of plastic surgery. ☹️
Guy on the team rage quits one day. Few days pass and HR goes to clean out his desk. Finds a paper bag full of syringes and a very graphic instruction manually on how to inject something into your dick.
Whatever it was, I guess it can’t wait until you’re at home to inject into your dong. It has to be at work.
Cherry on top was that HR policy was to box up all personal belongings left behind and have the ex-employee come pick them up. So, if he had forgotten these things were in his desk, he certainly remembered after he came back and they handed him the bag.
Hate to see Jon Voight get work.
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it, but back before he did “The Apprentice”, I’ll admit I was somewhat fascinated by Trump as a business “mogul”. I read at least 5 of his books starting with “Art of the Deal”. Here are some highlights I remember:
He constantly bragged about deals in which he completely fucked someone over. Not once did he acknowledge it - at all. It’s like it never entered his mind. Or, that the more he fucked someone over, the more proud he was.
He bragged about never preparing for speeches. He likes to completely wing it every time - which I guess is obvious.
He claimed to never eat lunch. Too busy “making deals” he said.
He used to be very good friends with the Clintons. Went to their parties often. Spoke very highly of them.
Didn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein at all. You know, like all those pictures of them together might have been a secret?
Talked about times when he was flat broke or in the hole and how he needed to fake that he was rich to keep up appearances so people would want to do deals with him. I remember one paragraph where he was walking into a building in NY with Ivanka and pointed out a homeless person and told her “See that man. He has more money than me.”
Long before he entered politics, based on those books, I knew Donald Trump was a despicable piece of shit.
Millhouse is dead on Paul from The Wonder Years
“The Projects” is a term used to describe government provided (or subsidized) housing for poor people. The term is generally used to indicate “a place in a city where income is low and crime is usually high”.
The javelin was officially redesigned in 1986 to limit its distance to keep it in the field, and to ensure it doesn’t land flat. They are likely only counting post-redesign throws.
The consultancy I used to work for in the late 90s would have crucified any developer that didn’t write “a data abstraction layer that allows you to pop off the original db and substitute a different one later”.
How many times in my 25 year career have I swapped out the database (and been thankful for such an abstraction layer)? 0 times.
Agree for these reasons:
Legally: It’s always been legal (in the US at least) to relay the ideas in a copywrited work. AI might need to get better at providing a bibliography, but that’s likely a courtesy more than a legal requirement.
Culturally: Access to knowledge should be free. It’s one of the reasons public libraries exist. If AI can help people gain knowledge more quickly and completely, it’s just the next evolution of the same idea.
Also Culturally: Think about what’s out on the internet. Millions of recipes, no doubt copied from someone else, with pages of bullshit about how the author “grew up on a farm that produced Mohitos”. For decades now, “content creators” have gotten paid for millions of low quality bullshit click bait articles. There’s that. Most of the real “knowledge” on the internet is freely accessible technical / product documentation, forum posts like StackOverflow, and scientific studies. All of it is stuff the authors would probably love to have out there and freely accessible. Sure, some accidental copywrite infringement might happen here and there, but I think it’s a tiny problem in relation to the value that AI might bring society.
I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.
