I saw a documentary about him once where they showed him in a Las Vegas hotel. He decided he wanted to go shopping, so they took him to the fancy art store there. We’re talking paintings that cost a couple million dollars each. He walked through the store and pointed at things he liked and his handlers bought everything for him. If that was an average day for him, then I’m not surprised he was heavily in debt. They had to close everything off just for him to go places, which I’m sure also costs a fortune. Fans would get a glimpse of him walking and break down into hysterics and tears. It was quite the spectacle.

Remember the last debate when they were arguing over who loves fracking more? FFS!

Facts are not a slippery slope. That statement is part of the distorted reality that trump has created.

It disgusts me that they air the debate like a sporting event.

Small cars have poor crash test ratings, and the ratings are much stricter than they used to be. That’s why you can’t really find small cars any more.

I looked for a small truck several years ago and nobody makes one any more. I did see an S10 on the road a few days ago though, which I thought was neat.

But nowhere near the same driver comfort, crash test rating, towing capacity, top speed, tongue weight, or max load weight. Bed length alone is a poor measurement for a truck’s usefulness.

My friend bought a Baja. He said that the bed is so small that he can’t even fit a bike in there.

Are you sure you are still alive? That sounds suspiciously like hell.

Not now. But eventually? Probably. Or the cool thinking jobs will all be automated and we’ll be left with menial labor. Idk man, maybe it’ll be a eutopia, but I don’t see much benevolence from those controlling things. Anyways, I wasn’t looking for an argument about distant possibilities. I was just saying I don’t want to lose my job that I spent decades mastering to a machine. I didn’t expect that to be a hot take.

Wtf are you talking about? Get a grip, homey. I’m not saying others should suffer. Do you really think that the power of AI is going to result in the average person not having to work? Fuck no. It’s going to result in like 5 people having all the money and everyone else fighting over garbage to eat. Shiet, man. I’m talking about wanting to not be unemployed and starving, same goes for everyone else soon enough. Would I prefer a life without work and still having adequate resources? Of course! But I live in this world, not a fantasy world.

WHY!

Listen bub, I don’t have time for this Mickey mouse bullshit!

Dude… Just write a python script that makes small changes to white space every few seconds and commits them.

These lived on 1800 acres of wild land. They normally only saw people when we were driving past to get to the ranch house, or when me and my buddy were hiking. Twice a year they were rounded up, branded, counted, and either sold off or let go.

They were rounded up old Western style, by cowboys on horseback, and driven into the pens by the ranch house. It was actually an amazing experience getting to be a part of that as a teenager and young man.

My friend and I would go exploring all over those hills in the summer time, and that’s when the murder cows caught us in the open a few times. Most of the cows didn’t care, but there were a few that we knew by site to run from if we happened upon them. So we’d skedaddle over near a tree or back to the truck if it was close and hope the cow would just wander off and do cow things. It usually just gave us angry looks and bluffs, but a few times it charged us and drove us up the tree. One time we were tree’ed, and were able to scare it off by firing our guns into the air. Good times.

NYC public transit and nightlife is amazing. It’s pretty dirty once you leave the financial district though. Unfortunately I’ve heard that SF is pretty dirty these days too. Is that true? It used to be my most favorite city in the world, but I haven’t been back in 15+ years.

I give instructions to AI like I would to a brand new junior programmer, and it gives me back code that’s usually better than a brand new junior programmer. It still needs tweaking, but it saves me a lot of time. The drawback is that coding knowledge atrophy occurs pretty rapidly, and I’m worried that I’m going to forget how to write code without the AI. I guess that I don’t really need to worry about that, since I doubt AI is going anywhere anytime soon.

True, but the rate at which it is improving is quite worrisome for me and my coworkers. I don’t want to be made obsolete after working my fucking ass off to get to where I am. I’m starting to understand the Luddites.

At my last job they assigned one of those to me and never told me. I had already been there about a year when I discovered it. I had like 500 voicemails. Haha.
