It’s not really passive income, though. You have to get people in there and interview them. Even if you just spend 10 minutes per applicant, that’s already 600 minutes, or 10 hours. So yes, this is a decent hourly wage, at least until word gets around about what you’re doing, which it will, because what kind of job interview is done in 10 minutes? Not one where you actually have a chance.

And yes, I do realize this post is most likely a joke. Still fun to reply to, though.

No, it’s okay to keep your head down.

The Great Depression.

Your behavior would have gotten you kicked out of a high school debate club by now.

That was quite dishonest of Rooty.

Nobody claimed that he is. Or was Rooty’s comment edited?

So wait, what things make me a pathetic coward?

It’s not the fact that you don’t have power, it’s the how you’d yield it if you had it. Because even if you’d have power, you’d be too scared to yield it. Want to prove me wrong? Answer me this: How do you think global warming should be solved? Or outline how society could be improved in general? Up to now, you only told me how you’d not solve global warming. Only told me of things you’d avoid doing. Show me some things you’d do if you had power of an absolutist monarch.

I’m judging you based on what you wrote about your position, which is all I do know about you, as well as what you chose to broadcast about yourself. And you paint yourself as a pathetic coward. You’re absolutely pathetic, even without comparing you to anybody else.

Should we stop pumping oil right this very minute? Do you think the world will be ready by 2050 to effectivly ban the sale of fossil fuel? We are yet to globally REDUCE carbon emissions, we’ve only decelerated so far and by a tiny amount. We are no where near ready to make the change. Unless you are willing to cause a massacre by shutting off the oil wells?

And a big reason why we, as a species, have not made any progress on that front, is because of cowardice. Decisions are being made by people who stand to profit from fossil fuels, or are too scared of the economic consequences of combating fossil fuel dependency. Even though the transition itself would help mitigate those consequences, e.g. new jobs created for green energy development would offset jobs loss due to the necessary structural change.

I want things to be better, you’re right. And we all play a part in improving it. Right now I actually work in solar power infanstructure, is that pathetic? I vote against fossil fuels, and I am happy my country is cutting off gas and forcing people to be more electric.

Individual action, while laudable, will not help without systemic change, which you are too scared to advocate for.

It sort of looks like you’re broadly supportive of progressive causes, but don’t support progressives in the actual “battles” that are being “fought”. The clearest example is you being “Pro climate policies”, but “against fossil fuel bans”. Basically, you want things to get better, but you don’t want things to be done to make them better. You want peace and quiet more than you progress, and you’re willing to cede basically all current issues to regressives in order get it. Of course, if regressives win, they’ll just want something else. And you’ll cede that to them too.

In summary: you’re pathetic.

Nobody knows for sure.

Ai models are trained on basically the entirety of the internet, and more. Humans learn to speak on much less info. So, there’s likely a huge difference in how human brains and LLMs work.

My guess would be that they are referring to “Mage: The Ascension”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mage:_The_Ascension

There’s a two week limit between the name being written and the target dying.

They aren’t as cute as actual rubber ducks, though.

Good game. Feels easier than the first two.

Apparently some artificial sweeteners can act as a laxative. So effectively, those gummy bears were strong laxatives, leading to anybody who eats one to have to spend a long time on the toilet.

They buy it at a store.

So annoying

Those two words describe about every ad on youtube.

And how do you know LLMs can’t tell that they are involved in a conversation?

It has no memory, for one. What makes you think that it does know its in a conversation?

That does not follow. I can’t speak for you, but I can tell if I’m involved in a conversation or not.
