  • There was never a McDonalds promotion. At the end of season 1, Rick mockingly exclaims his entire arc is about getting “McDonalds to being back the Szechuan Sauce” which was just supposed to be a random ass reference and imply that everything that happens in the show really is for nothing or for an inane purpose.

    Then some dude went viral for mocking the shows fans threw a fit in a McDonalds and made a big scene and people watched it thinking he was an actual fan of the show and that was how they’re all being influenced to act by the show, and that this was happening all over the place.

    It blew up from there with like the entirety of Reddit thinking that was how shit was going down. Didn’t help that there were plenty of online posts (some sarcastic and some real) with people acting cringe AF defending the show (“you have to have a high IQ” etc) that people could point to; and suddenly it was considered toxic to even admit to watching it.





  • I have bad news. The democrats have been controlled opposition the whole time. They’re just there to be like “oh noooo you gotta vote for US or the big bad THEM is gonna get you” but you do remember how absolutely spineless they’ve been since Trump right? “Oh we gotta work across the isle, guys, we gotta follow the norms guyssss the parliamentarian, guyssss”

    They will leave in place everything Trump has done and let it normalize. They are the cooling of the lava before the next eruption, but the coastline is forever pushed right, the land forever charred, and there is no time for Pele to restore the life force before the next eruption. The cycle has become too accelerated.



  • Death is dangerous to life and groups of chuds threatening people who don’t sing their national anthem in their preferred language are attempting to coerce a population.

    I think people in America typically have a definition like this:

    “Terrorists” are defined as looking exactly like Osama Bin Laden and shouting “ISLAMIC JIHAD ALLAHU AKBAR LALALLALALALALALAL” before exploding like a stuck lemming from the video game “Lemmings”.

    They also think that politics is operated purely on lies and name calling for power grabs and so therefore since they gave the terrorist label to brown people, they can’t ever be one and all their actions are excusable since it’s impossible for them to be a terrorist.


  • Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.

    I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.

    Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.











  • Why did anyone think that a LLM would be able to solve logic or math problems?

    They’re literally autocomplete. Like, 100% autocomplete that is based on an enormous statistical model. They don’t think, they don’t reason, they don’t compute. They lay words out in the most likely order.

    To be fair it’s pretty amazing they can do that from a user prompt - but it’s not doing whatever it is that our brains do. It’s not a brain. It’s not “intelligent”. LLMs are machine learning algorithms but they are not AI.

    It’s a fucking hornswoggle, always has been 🔫🧑‍🚀
