Can we put the “thank you”, “donate”, and “beep boop” in a collapsed section too? That’s a heck of a footer for basically the one line of data I’d otherwise want from this bot.

I stopped going to McDonalds around 2004 after seeing Super-Size Me (which didn’t really convince me of anything other than what I already knew; Fast food in general is gross).

A few years later, I was hanging out with some friends and someone wanted a drink or something, so we walked in, and the smell was overwhelming, and disgusting. It wasn’t different, it was the exact same McDonalds smell, it was just gross as fuck.

About a decade after that, I was dating someone who wanted some of their fries (they were having a bad day and wanted comfort food). So I drive over there, just order the fries (everything else she wanted was already at home), and head home. The entire time, my car was filling with this gross, oily, I-don’t-know-what smell of those fries. It occurs to me that I could only define it as “smelling like McDonalds”.

Mind you, I’ve gotten fries at Wendy’s, Jack in the Box, Arby’s, etc. None of them smell gross. They smell like salty potatoes (except any place that has curly fries; they all seem to be from the same supplier, and they’re gross).

I haven’t been back to McDonalds in probably another 10 years, but I can only imagine that my first reaction would be to wretch, and my second reaction would be to leave. I have no idea how they fucked things up so bad, I had them all the time as a kid. I still eat Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwiches, they’re fine. wtf.

This about about to spawn so many sidebar threads xD

It’s either going to be awesome, or hilarious. Probably both.

Any guesses for how long until the “we’ve disabled the bot for further testing and review” post? My bet is a month.

I agree that using browser-based password managers is not a good idea, but everything else you said was willfully ignorant.

• OneNote isn’t that special, and you don’t need Windows to use it.
• There are half a dozen excel competitors that are feature complete (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, GSuite, Zoho, Gnumeric…)
• All shells use the same standard tools, excepting a few bulit-ins (because most tools are external to the shell). Some shells have different syntax, but most of them share most syntax. In 90% of cases, the default shell is bash, or an offshoot (dash, etc), which are all descendants of sh, so unless you’re using an extended feature set, scripts are cross-compatible.

I might have some leads, but my threadiverse server software doesn’t support DMs (mbin devs are working on it). You have Matrix or Mastodon? Or IRC? xD

Email works too, but I usually avoid posting that on open forums because [bots|spam|assholes].

What part of the country (might not matter if remote), and what kind of development?

Haha, I love that one. I use as 5 (because fingers, as with handful)

Hah, yeah. Honestly, fuck it, yeah, take the cap off. I’m still getting fucked, but at least the generation before me and my less fortunate peers would be less fucked.

And maybe my idea was wrong-headed… if they took the cap off, and I ended up paying more as I got paid more, it would still be better because at leat it would be around when I was old.

I don’t remember the payouts being super awesome though. Ugh, I don’t know. I think I’m fucked either way.

Haha, thanks. In fairness, I am kind of an asshole, but I believe in social security. I’ve paid into it for over 20 years now, and not even my parents (who also paid into it for decades) will benefit from it. Angrys up the blood.

I’m working my ass off because - never mind my own retirement - the people who raised me are going to need a ton of my help, and I’m like… we all paid into it… why? It was supposed to be “you pay in for people now, and we’ll take care of you later”. I’m glad other people got my money all this time, but they fucking forgot that second part, man.

• A couple: 2
• A few: 3-4
• A handful: 5 (because fingers)
• A bunch: 6
• Several: Exactly 7, always.
• A number: 8-9
• A whole bunch: 10 -20

That’s about it off the top of my head.

Fuck that.

I never wanted to pay a dime of it, because even as a teen with a shitty starter job I was paying into a system I knew was going to go broke before I got to draw anything from it. Now I work two jobs just to contribute to my retirement so that maybe I’ll get a few good years at the end, and bow they want to make sure that no matter how much I make, I have to keep paying? Get fucked (the system, not you in particular).

How about we set a floor, below which you don’t need to pay for social security. I don’t know what number makes sense, lets just call it $500k/yr. Then all the rich assholes who don’t need it can pay for the people they’re fucking over.

While we’re at it, take social security out of dividend payouts and stock sales above some yearly threshold too, take some back from the dicks who don’t actually have “income” because they get paid in stock.

They always did this. Tap two more buttons and allow.

AI, or CrowdStrike?

Hopefully Camilla doesn’t skip any battleground states while she’s campaigning, like somebody…

Edit: Downvote all you want. Things would have been 1000x better if Hillary had won, and she didn’t because she was lazy and entitled.

Not really. They start hallucinating pretty quick.

It’s a shame there’s practically no adoption. I’d love to see more content on the network.

Jack is absolutely doing PR damage control. Even if he agrees and thinks it’s funny, that comment isn’t awesome for either of their image.

Even if you hate Trump and would have been fine with him getting assassinated, you can’t just go around saying shit like that. The right is (very rightly) on blast for constantly saying shit like this, and it works both ways.

I just hope they figure something out and get back on track with the tour/band.

The only one I know about was Kinguin, but then heard it was scummy. Which ones are around/good?

I’m not sure what the dishonest motivations would be; I don’t really have a problem with content generators, other than;

• They’re trained on data that trainers don’t have rights to
• They are awful, inaccurate, hallucinating garbage

To the first point; If they (OpenAI, Adobe, Disney, et al) hired a bunch of people, paid them a fair wage to generate art (text, images, whatever), got permission (contractual, with residuals), trained a model, then used it responsibility (for concepts and drafts), then sure; have your models and use 'em.

To the second point; I mentioned that the models aren’t good, and it’s because they aren’t actually creating anything, just mashing old content together. I also mentioned before that the models need to be used responsibly; You can’t just hit “generate” and ship it as final product. You need editors and artists to follow up on the model output. The model should be used to make tedius work easier, not replace talented artists.
