I think Japan (and Korea?) need their own category where you take your shoes off but then your host provides you with clean sandals to wear inside.

Alternatively, Cartman is in the files (because Epstein used his paint the walls in shit revenge service to prank one of the actual visitors to the island) and when told he can make the girls do anything he wants, he gets one to make fun of Kyle on video, where he is clearly being an asshole to her.
And Butters is also in the file because they tried to recruit him after he went viral for What, What, In the Butt, which Cartman latches on to and spends the whole episode trying to help Butters clear his name (so that he can clear his own name in the process).
Also Randy is on the list because he was trying to get them to sign Tegrity Farms up as their official weed supplier and he spends the episode trying to supress the information entirely but gets Streisand effected hard, leading to the follow up episode where Trump tries to pin the whole thing on Randy (and everything else, too, and starts bringing up shit that isn't even public). In the end, Randy gets "one of the harshest punishments ever given to a rich person": a fine for $3.50, and everyone realizes that it wasn't a judge presiding over the case, but a 3-story crustacean known as the Lochness Monster and the episode ends with everyone getting together to yell at Nessie (and the incident is never mentioned again).
I'd also argue that however the movie did after the fact, turning down roles you don't understand is probably the smarter option. Maybe those other movies would have also flopped if they had Connery in those roles.
Like I can't picture him doing a good Gandalf. It wouldn't be Gandalf, it would be Sean Connery in a wizard outfit. I can't think of any roles where Connery played someone who wasn't Sean Connery. He brought a lot of charisma to his roles but not a ton of range.
And not even realize that you could have gotten an autograph from the new boyfriend that Robert Williams almost killed in Mrs Doubtfire.
He didn't even conclude the obvious because his better solution is still the same shit. 14 hours a day of asking an LLM "is it daylight yet?", which the LLM itself needs to figure out, since it doesn't have eyes, might not even be running in the same timezone, and even then, it changes from day to day depending on your latitude (and might not happen for months if you're close enough to either pole). And whatever method the LLM uses, you can just do that directly yourself without buying any tokens.
Funny part, I just prompted Llama 4 Scout "I need to know if it is daylight yet." And it said it would need to know my location but suggested alternatives like checking local time vs sunrise/sunset times, checking a weather app, or the final bullet: "Look outside!" So even if he had asked an LLM for how to solve this problem, it might have given him a better solution than what he ended up with, even with his improvements.
Also, daylight is irrelevant for "remind me to do x tomorrow". If it was trying to avoid reminding him at midnight, it could just pick whatever arbitrary time to display the day's reminders or base it on when he's moving around or leaving the home if it wants to be fancy (though seriously, you should figure that shit out yourself to avoid having to optimize a "is it daylight yet?" loop because your LLM was designed to use more tokens to get things done (no idea if that's the case for OpenClaw).
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
It makes me wonder what changed, though. Like the boomers still subscribed to this mindset as shown by the prevalence of "I hate my wife and she hates me" humour. But then it started changing to the point now where even dating seems to be down.
At one point, being alone was considered failure or at least sad. But I've got the mindset of "I'd rather be alone than with a partner that doesn't meet my standards" and I don't seem to be alone in that (heh).
It's two different things being argued about: the legal term "hacking" vs the every day language term, which I believe implies something more specific than "unauthorized access", something where technical or social skills were used to gain that access.
That's the parallel I was trying to draw by mentioning the word "hotwiring" instead of "stealing". It would be like if the legal term for stealing a car was "hotwiring".
That said, I did see that the OP of this tangent is actually trying to argue the "this isn't illegal" angle rather than the difference between legal terms and broader language terms.
I agree this falls under the legal definition of hacking, but I also agree with those basically saying that this falls outside of the way they think the term should be used. It waters down its meaning.
Or they might develop cooking skills, which enables you to turn even the healthiest of ingredients into delicious junk.
What mass had a force exerted on it over a distance?
Yeah but if I did, no one would say I hotwired the car.
Also, every single name that gets released is a name that Trump was ok with releasing. From my pov, it just turns it into a more effective blackmail tool. He's not afraid of what's in the files. If it was going to ruin him, it would have already done so.
Instead it just shows others who know they are in the files that a) he's one of them (if they didn't already know), b) that he can protect them, c) he isn't protecting everyone in the files just because of point a.
Hate to be realizing this, but I think everyone who thought the release of the Epstein files would help anything got played. Just like everyone who thought the Mueller investigation would threaten his first term or result in making a second term impossible.
And you'd have to get a new wallet any time you got a new phone.
Though I have a feeling that they'd keep quiet about what they can't break and loudly exclaim that something can't be broken when they find a way to crack it.
Funny thing is that they really do, but that parasitic creature is us.
It mainly has to do with an enzyme that exists in the milk (and helps digest the milk) but breaks down from heat, and then this is blamed for gut issues (and gut issues are pretty common these days and hard to pinpoint the cause of, so people will latch on to anything to try to solve the issue).
I'm not sure about the accuracy of that enzyme thing, that's just the information that had me wondering about raw milk.
It's completely perpendicular to whether or not there's any harmful bacteria in the milk (other than cooking gets rid of both), which means getting sick from raw milk isn't guaranteed, which then makes it go through the same pathways gambling does (and we're notoriously bad at risk assessment in gambling), so some people with gut issues (especially if it actually does help, though I bet many build the habit of getting raw milk without even confirming it does help and just keep the habit going because they feel like they are sticking it to the man) ignore that a recurring low chance of something has an increased chance of running into it over time.
Ultimately, laziness won out for me and I never bothered trying to find a source of raw milk when I was interested in the idea, though I can't say I ever really fully bought into it as I knew that even if pasturization was more necessary because of unhygienic milk industry practices, it was still being done for a reason.
But ultimately, both this and the anti-vaccine movement are about people losing trust in this corporate-dominated system, which I can't really call irrational on its own, even if it leads to some irrational conclusions. It wasn't that long ago that cigarette companies were sponsoring "smoking is great" propaganda, and later "smoking isn't that bad". And the opioid crisis didn't do anything to help credibility since doctors were pushing addictive drugs marketed as not addictive because they were getting kickbacks from the manufacturers.
Because the language policing trend didn't happen naturally but was another angle of the divide and conquer, deflecting people to waste time policing language instead of useful endevors while alienating not only people who disagreed about the underlying values but also people tired of people bitching about their use of language.
They needed all of the stops to pull off the elections and one of them was amplifying the most obnoxious aspects of the left, which also affected their credibility, which was important to get the opposition to ignore the warnings about the obvious signs of fascism.
And right now, that same strategy is being used to keep the disillusioned from joining up with the left by amplifying the "fuck you, you're irredeemable" responses to the ones starting to see Trump for who he is.
Did that this morning with Final Upgrade, which is factories in space and you can automate ships to do things like deliver materials/ammo/energy, build, and fight. Was just innocently playing the game and suddenly it's daylight out.
