Wow that number seems crazy high, but i looked it up again and numbers are pretty fucking high. In 2019 the fed started giving away 1,000 split in two payments if you adopt one and that alone doubled the rates.

Treat them like we treat we treat wild hogs. Wild horses are feral pets to the US, rather than pests.

They gotta cull these things. Horses breed like crazy, it would be easier if the US didn’t treat them like wild pets and require the weird plausible deniability.

Almost nobody wants a wild horse, they’re just gonna cull 99.9% anyway. And if you don’t cull them they become diseased pests like deer.

I’m not, why would you accuse someone of being an LLM if you lack the understanding on the topic to make that judgement. The comment you accused of being from an llm was pretty clear, I’m not every sure what you were responding to making that accusation. It must that the accusation was an emotional one because you made the mistake of “feeling slighted” over a totally mundane explanation you asked for.

Frankly your posts in reply to most of these comments looks both stilted and robotic with an overall lack of understanding of the material you are replying to. IMO that looks like an LLM someone has sent to collect information and provide the consensus back to the user?

Are you sure you shouldn’t disclose anything?

Frankly the rise of dsa candidates in the US shows we at least have some grass roots energy equivalent to the right wing tea party movement.

Noted the left wing of the USA resembles a democratic socialist tm compared to the rest of the world.

Yountville, Saint Helena, Rutherford… these place are terrifying. The mix of incredibly rich and incredibly drunk (not in this case, but in general) fucks who drive out there. 2 lane roads mixed with angry, confused, maybe epically trashed octogenarians+, I’ve seen accidents, almost accidents, I’ve almost been hit on crosswalks, I’ve seen people drive in front of the wine train in napa.

Don’t even take out of town guests out there anymore, it’s embarrassing and dangerous.

The worminess is part of it, I’ve seen people not engage with the text, or reframe an argument. What cowbee does is avant guarde, bespoke, couture communism apologia. This place is his canvas and his words are his art. If you told me he was just a performative communist banksy, I would believe you.

Cowbee is harmless. Chronically online weirdo who will answer a question you didn’t ask with 15 cited paragraphs from 4 books, 2 articles, and 3 papers. All of it perfect. It’s honestly as impressive as it is weird and sad. Site would be significantly less interesting without em.

So mental break, got it, thanks!

Is this a social experiment, or are you having a mental break?

Ummmm… does anyone else see this as a dangerous escalation?

The quality and quantity of voice actors has exploded, there are still plenty of places that cheap out, but the baseline level of voice acting in dubbing now is barely even comparable to 15 years ago.

Finding decent dubs used to be a needle in a haystack with big studio money required, you can name them all off on one hand, the OP did later on in the thread. Now it’s almost the opposite!

There’s also a shift in western, especially American, voice acting away from subtle emotional performances to the emotive and excitement filled performances of the Japanese voice actors too. It’s a few things right now.

This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

It’s life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.

Is this the same piece of shit who whined like a baby that David Hogg made him feel bad?

He should be sitting on a little pile of totenkopfs. Blackwaters finest.

I dunno, maybe don’t avoid foia to get your grants back up and running. Whataboutism is truly unhelpful when someone is committing a federal foia related crime. The people violating foia from this admin should also be prosecuted.

I would even argue it would have been a net positive to the world to keep the funding going. But don’t commit a crime to then go ahead and do that. The kickback thing is dumb, the time they want is crazy, but his lawyer is gonna make short work of that, and he gets pardoned by the next guy.

Maybe next time don’t purposefully try to evade foia?

You can see it now very clearly. The meta is massive blocks of text with a dozen citations that must take an incredible amount of time to create, or are being assisted by an LLM. If you don’t reply to doubt or trolling with 10,000 words, you ain’t really communist.

They’ve created a Facebook Christian type prosetylization communication style that is both super comfy to members and even more isolating to outsiders. Your knowledge must be doctoral level.

It looks like when bones of the moon would post the sovereign citizen shit. Then if you even slightly call it out you get modded off. So these posts are just paragraphs and paragraphs of replies full of citations replying to deleted comments. It’s crazy to see how the echo chamber has progressed over time.

The level of cope in this article directed towards the business class is legendary.

Two warships that only turned on their identification system at the end of their route during a ceasefire and still got turned away is a pretty far cry from an “insurance kicking in” situation for global shipping.

His entire OG staff is evaporating and he’s letting them rip pieces off the boat they helped him build to do so. I honestly wish I could never see this dude’s face or hear his voice again, but his slop is so ubiquitous it’s impossible to escape.

But Zip Tie Tech is a fun channel that’s come from the ashes of LTTs reputation.
