They really needed to do more with Niven.

Not in the animated stuff of course, but more in other places.

Fun story…

Back in the late 90s, several friends and I were doing the extreme Frisbee thing. An hour or so of just running around like the idiots we were, full tilt.

We stop and hit up the gas station at the corner. Most of us pick up things like Gatorade or soda etc… Not Dave.

This legend grabs 2 fucking jugs, about a gallon in total between them, of full fat chocolate milk.

We get to the check out, pay for the batch. Most of us start drinking right there because we’re absurdly thirsty.

Dave pounds down both jugs immediately… Not even stopping for breath.

You likely see this coming… We all did. Slow motion car crash…

Up it comes without delay. Just 1/2/3…

Chocolate milk

Chocolate milk

… Chocolate milk.

The attendant for the shop got a $150 tip that day.

Dave was the best.

Safety goggles. Smart.

Fucking hell. Yeah that would have kicked my ass too.

“Ladies and gentlemen… I made poopies.”

(Thunderous applause from both viewers)

BRB y’all… Dune calls but I gotta go fuck my atheist polycule first.

Would have been better as a CD-ROM…

Seeing as how he got ripped.

I gotta stick with the classic Tenchi. But I’m sure this surprises nobody.

Yes it’s campy. Don’t care lol.

No.

Fun memory… Finding out that getting a massive headache just after mind blowing sex was actually a sign of near stroke!

Good times.

seriously, you keep moving the goalposts of definitions here…

I was pointing out that generalizing things using fictional stories detracted from the many specific things Dolly did.

You keep coming back with vaguely “this is kinda like that”… but that is the point. kinda like != exact.

you keep pushing that I am somehow saying she didn’t help people. I am not.

" that she wouldn’t pay an individual patient’s medical bills" … I never said that. I said there’s no evidence she paid EVERY bill for a NICU.

" You don’t want to give her the final mile, giving to individual mothers with sick infants" … I never said this.

If you can only attack me with nonsense I never said or implied, you need to realize you are part of the issue.

I only commented initially as a warning to others that Dolly was better than needing to make shit up, and to stick with things she actually did.

You seem to somehow think I was against Dolly? Dude… really?!

Done with you. Congratulations on contributing myths that will smear the goods she actually did. Now go create a thread somewhere about how Tim Curry saved 1000 infants from a burning building while having sex with David Bowie.

Goodbye.

Nowhere in that article does it talk about paying for NICU patients directly (it mentions a grant to help invest in staffing and resources).

It nowhere mentions funding NICU operations, only it’s accredidation.

"Schaefer said the money is meant to fund a pediatric residency training program the hospital hopes to launch this year, telehealth aimed at rural communities outside Knoxville, level one children’s surgical verification through the American College of Surgeons, level four NICU accreditation and recruitment for pediatric neuroscience and epilepsy, gastroenterology and otolaryngology. "

20 years of anything isn’t mentioned anywhere.

No. Read what you linked to:

"Schaefer said the money is meant to fund a pediatric residency training program the hospital hopes to launch this year, telehealth aimed at rural communities outside Knoxville, level one children’s surgical verification through the American College of Surgeons, level four NICU accreditation and recruitment for pediatric neuroscience and epilepsy, gastroenterology and otolaryngology. "

This is not the same as “Paid every bill for NICU”.

edit: You even replied about how there’s no mention in another reply… I am confused as to why you then say here that the tumblr is true?

As another noted, the tone and writing is super abstracted… “a hospital” …

I can’t 100% DISPROVE this based on the fact there’s no other documentation / mention of this act… anywhere. It’s just all reblogs/posts of this exact text.

With all the other stuff she’s done, how has NOT ONE SINGLE PARENT posted / talked about this?

My own daughter spent her first week of life in a local NICU here. That was 20+ years ago. I still remember the names of the 4 nurses that primarily dealt with her during that time.

If someone, ANYONE, had come forward to pay the 10’s of thousands in costs I had to pay for this, I would STILL be shouting about it to this very day.

Again, I don’t bring this up to detract from Dolly… quite the opposite!!! She was AMAZING! But at the same time fabrications about her actions muddy and dilute the actual acts by blurring it.

Love Dolly, but people pushing for validity on the internet by making up stories to get likes is not the right way to honor her accomplishments and goodness.

If you still doubt, or want proof, then I ask you to provide any evidence this DID happen. I will happily cheer on evidence that she performed this kind of act.

Wait… An attorney commenting on how an existing legal definition is likely to be interpreted…

This isn’t the EFF saying “AI is great” from the linked article. This is the attorney saying that the DOJ comment unfortunately is accurate in line of the existing definition if the exception.

The only defense they use is from the take of individuals or smaller groups training.

I get the knee jerk reaction wanting the EFF to come out against all AI, but that isn’t going to change the written laws. They’ve been fighting abuse via these laws for decades.

I hate Gemini etc as much as the next, but attacking the underlying capitalist and fascist push the big tech are doing via panic changes to what is supposed to be civil definitions instead of toward the criminal intent underlying is short sighted and will absolutely be leverage by those tech bros for even further destruction of what might be left of laws.

Anyone who thinks copyright law will stop bezos etc from harming the world is still thinking they can somehow get their government to tax them back to “normal wealth”.

I wish this were true, but it’s not.

She’s done tons of better things for medical stuff, but this sounds more like a hyperbolic grand sweeping oversimplification of what she has actually done with donations and efforts.

Doing dirty her good deeds with angelic sounding lies… She was more than we deserved already.

(Not bitching at op! I just detest lies made up for drama)

This kills the airplane.

Gotcha, yeah that makes sense. Thanks

If the sperm dies on day 5… How do the 2 ovulation days matter?

Edit: spaced about bottom of Dad 1 4.5 or whatever days before, then the other dude at very end.

That’s not how that math works…
