20-25 years ago it was our default behavior to fake these sorts of things. Somehow, we seem to have forgotten we can lie to computers.

Politician pay, at any level, is a joke. Our city council members make less than minimum wage, $6,000 salary.
That’s how much his business is worth, not all cash in the bank.

1·14 hours agoSwitched to 11 to keep up with our employees updating their laptops. It’s been completely pain free. I managed 130 laptops at my last job, no problems. No idea how people are getting crap such as pictured.

196·14 hours agoAll the problems these people bitch about with Windows never happen to me. Maybe it’s because I started with a plain vanilla ISO, no preloaded crap. 🤷🏻♂️
Best part? When I mention that I’m not having these problems I get downvoted.
I’m all but about out of here. Look at this meme, totally made up problem.

5·20 hours agoSo, nobody here actually used online dating? Here in the deep red South, “not political” means liberal and don’t talk your MAGA shit at me.
Gods I know. Bear wandered in the dog door while I was on vacation. My 18-yo friend watching the place had me laughing my ass off at the situation. Needed that as I had just seen my mom for the last time, dying of COVID.
Wasn’t so funny after I talked to the state bear biologist and the contractor that worked for her. He set a snare in my yard, big trailer with a trap door. He was sad, biologist was sad, I was sad, but that’s how it has to go once a bear wanders in a home. Contractor went door-to-door begging people to lock their trash cans so this kind of thing doesn’t have to happen.
Yes, I thought about sabotaging the trap, but he had a trail cam on 4G recording 24x7. I might still have freed that bear if he had shown up. Anyway, kept 3 shotguns within reach for a year behind that mess. (I have a pet pig to defend that apparently the bear was after for dinner.)
He got away! Never came back thank god.
I often wonder if black bears didn’t evolve to be less threatening since humans came to North America. They’re widespread and common and no one is trying to wipe them out. Ran into one with her two cubs and she bolted away.

4·2 days agoHoney can’t spoil. The ridiculous amount of sugar sucks the water out of anything trying to grow. Can’t evolve your way out of “zero water”. :)

5·2 days agoYep. Weird what people think needs refrigeration. I have hot sauces that are years old, too acidic to host bacteria or fungi.
Honey’s a little different. Too much sugar for osmosis, chokes bacteria to death by sucking the H2O out.
While we’re at it, my wife usually leaves dinner covered on the table. Still good to go 24 hours later. I do draw the line at seafood out all night. :)

1·2 days agoOh, no, not saying using them is logical, but I can see how people fall for it. Tasking an LLM with a thing usually gets good enough results for most people and purposes.
Ya know? I’m not really sure how to articulate this thing.
Might have been from the same litter and had bangin’ DNA? If they were completely unrelated, yeah, not buying it.

34·2 days agoI see posts like OPs, and hear people saying such things IRL, and I always think, “This person would straight die in a week if they faced the most minimal survival situation.”











I laugh if that whole thing started again in this thread.
