They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.

Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”

A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.

So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”

Okay so I stopped reading at “unmanned ground vehicles” because I’m an RC nerd and wanted to see the cool robot.

Took me a second to realize those aren’t normal wheels.

My mother always said RC cars can be dangerous…

Shhhhhhhhhhh

If I don’t know my master plan, then THEY certainly don’t either!

Also I do intentionally leave some things a bit more vague, with ideas of what I want to do, but I’m hoping the players will start theorizing amongst themselves so I can incorporate their stuff into the game.

It gives them a nice sense of accomplishment to have “predicted” something, and I think they feel more engaged in the campaign.

Or maybe I’m just a bad DM…

I will happily shake hands with a pineapple-on-pizza-er, if it means we can make sure this evil never hurts anyone ever again.

I’ll wash my hands afterward, but it’s the gesture that counts, right?

(pls wash your hands anyway, sanitation rulez)

Yeah, but to be fair, those were smallish nukes, and we only saw those go up against large bugs.

Not a net or trident in sight.

Not a fair comparison.

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

Smort.

I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who’s a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who’s looked into this and already had some things ready to go.

Oh man…

1: RIP to Trevor.

B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.

The jokes write themselves.

“could be ousted”

Uhhhhhh no.

Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.

The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.

Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.

The fact that anyone can see this and think “yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption” is wild to me.

If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables…

It’s mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it’s the future all while caring about just the money.

I’d love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.

Violent protest? Prison.

No violent protest? Straight to Prison.

Talking online about possibly organizing a non violent protest? Believe it or not… Also prison.

Gee, when it’s prison no matter what, I wonder what people will do? Hmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMM

Projection and insecurity often make people lash out.

Depends on what I’m playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

I mean, even if that is the case, so what?

Are other countries not allowed to have militaries anymore?

Space should not be militarized, in my opinion, but if the US is going to do it, then we don’t get to finger wag at other countries for doing the same thing.

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

If every soldier turned toward Moscow right now, they’d have the higher ups scrambling to throw each other out windows, starting at the top, before they get to the city limits.

“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”

FTFY

No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.

Her logic IS undeniable.
