Diaper hands!

It’s all to help train their AI LLM system by capturing data on real conversations happening everywhere (probably because they have eaten up all the internet text and books) under the guise of being a personal assistant tied to Amazon to help you be more productive.

He has been impeached successfully. TWICE! I’m assuming that you mean removed from office as a consequence of the charges of impeachment. Of that, I completely agree.

You’re right though, he’s still a useful idiot.

However, the IRS has backed off of Scientology because they scared the IRS.

Edit: Upon further investigation, there was a lot of back and forth that led to them getting tax exempt status. I think Leah Remini’s show said something, or I had read it somewhere, that the church engaged in some scary shit that got the IRS to go easier on them eventually. I didn’t look hard enough to find any sources, hence my strikeout.

As others said, it’s fun.

Also, it engages critical thinking. One has to examine, make a claim, and defend with evidence. It may be silly, but it’s fundamentally helping you to think better.

Captain Nemo is an absolute bad ass in that movie.

40K in middle America is probably much easier because cost of living is cheaper. I’m assuming you mean living in literally the middle of the US like Kentucky or something? Middle America is technically Mexico and Central America.

40K in NYC, SF, Chicago, etc would probably be a better learning experience than 40K in Kentucky.

Ah. Well, fair enough!

I generally strike it all out, add an edit line, explain that I misread something, and apologize.

That’s just who I am though. I’m not saying you should do it, but I’m suggesting an alternate action. I’d rather be honest that I fucked up than hide it because it shows growth, and I also hope that it encourages other to realize it’s ok to make a mistake and reflect.

I’m not really a boxing guy, but I did watch that fight out of curiosity. I’m pretty sure Tyson threw the fight. They played it up enough to look like he was trying but the videos of him getting ready for the match were so different than what happened in the ring. I really believe it was fixed to allow Paul to win and that, if allowed to just be a real fight, Tyson would have annihilated Paul despite the age difference.

I’m pretty sure he runs on artificial intelligence. Probably a beta version.

American here who is currently awaiting approval of a visa for Australia. My wife got a job in Adelaide, so we’re just waiting for visa approval and will be moving us and the kid. Cannot wait! I look forward to a healthier lifestyle, assimilating to their culture, and just having a new/different outlook on life.

We only visited Sydney and Cairns a couple of years ago, but we loved everything about both places and wished we could stay.

Ugh! So frustrating! Even when we want to enact change, the galactic monster has its tentacles in everything.

America’s Army

maybe just do a little more research and purchase online from companies that AREN’T Amazon.

I have done this, ordered from the company’s website, and still got the stuff shipped from an Amazon warehouse. I think the most recent one was an Otterbox phone case. It’s been a while because I don’t order much stuff shipped to me unless I can’t find what I need locally.

They pegged me as someone who reads cheap ebooks, only reads Dungeon Crawler Carl, pretty much buys only D&D battle mat books, and shops from womens departments. I’m a married male, but that last one had me laughing. I have bought things for my wife in the past.

I loved having us all home together, and I actually grew closer to my kid during COVID. Our relationship got stronger as father and son because he saw me so much more since I wasn’t in an office and commuting for like 10-12 hours of my day. It was so fun to do little science experiments and teach him some fun life lessons.

I’m an outlier though. I love being with my wife and kid, and they love being with me. So many parents are always bitching about their kids or spouses and then pawning the kids off on others. Our house is the hangout house and so many of my son’s friends feel safe stopping by just to say hello on their way home from school.

I guess this is why I have successfully made a career switch to teaching. I genuinely think kids are pretty cool and worth our time!

Man, the end of book 1 really sets up everything. The books really go deeper into themes we are experiencing today in society, but on a larger level. I don’t want to spoil it in case you ever want to get through it.

The absurdity of what happens in the dungeon is literally meant to be absurd because it’s galactic entertainment on a fucked up level.

In the end, it’s an entertaining series with a lot of social commentary.

I was tired of working for corporate and I wanted to stop doing propaganda (marketing/SEO).

I wanted to do something that helped others, made a positive impact, and was something I genuinely enjoy doing. I got my Master’s in Education and I’m an elementary school teacher now.

Couldn’t have done it with the support of my wife. I am also a later career transition, so if you’re an older person then I’m here to say it’s possible with the right assistance and circumstances if you’re on the fence about making a change.
