What’s stopping some printer company from being nice and pleasant?

Is us, who buy the cheapest model in the store without considering maintenance cost?

Bakkoda ,

I shop for ink first and then a printer. Monoprice used to offer insanely cheap ink for my brother printer.

I still have my “Free Kevin” bumper stickers somewhere that I bought from 2600 Magazine. I think his mom is the one that shipped them out. He really got frickin’ railroaded with those charges.

One of her more recent and popular roles is Black Widow in the Marvel/Avengers movies. The one with red hair, dresses in an all black leather biker suit like an assassin, and acts as the sort of voice of reason to help keep the heroes grounded. (like being able to calm down the hulk when he’s having one of his fits)

Another role was as the title character in Lucy. The movie where she was conned/forced to be a drug mule and inadvertently got dosed with what she was carrying. This sort of supercharged her mind to superhuman levels, and turned her into a perfect assassin to be able to seek revenge on everyone who did her wrong.

Emmie , (edited )

Obviously, it is impossible for her to not know the actress it’s a clear lie

HubertManne ,

Honestly I would not recognize the name if it were not for a guy I knew who she was his dream girls (for some reason there is a type of guy who has one model, actress, etc that they are just obssesed with. The obsession is not huge but you will know how much they like X. I guess sometimes its a band or athlete and can be male now that I think of it)

Lucidlethargy ,

Lucy was so bad… Like, it was genuinely a terrible movie.

She did great in the roles, though.

I honestly don’t see why anyone would want to be an LA cop.

It’s harder than being a cop pretty much anywhere else and everyone hates you, even the people you’re trying to protect.

I would just say the city can burn if they love crime so much, which they clearly do.

A plastic fork, a phone, a car part: why does the LAPD keep shooting people holding harmless objects?

theguardian.com/…/los-angeles-police-jason-maccan…

harderian729 ,

What’s your point?

NaibofTabr ,

That they’re doing a poor job of “trying to protect”. They’re the threat that people need protection from.

harderian729 ,

Really? What about gangbangers?

HikingVet ,
harderian729 ,

Use your words.

HikingVet ,

Didn’t need to.

harderian729 ,

Yes you did, but that’s fine if you don’t want to.

I don’t expect you to articulate your argument because you’re not confident in it.

HikingVet ,

Here we go again, what’s your thoughts on gangs in the LAPD? Why was the comment earlier about them existing not part of the conversation? Why are gangs a concern when its not the cops?

harderian729 ,

They both can be concerns.

Gangs are the ones that justify cops’ existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.

We experimented with not having cops in CHAZ and gangs started killing people very quickly.

HikingVet ,

Okay, you are answering questions, now what about LA not being the most dangerous city makes it the worst place to be a cop? And why do the cops in LA keep shooting people with non dangerous objects in their hands? Why did you pivot from the questions about police corruption to pointing to gangs when cops are part of that problem?

harderian729 ,

Sorry, I’m done arguing with you.

It’s clear you just want to keep responding, so I’ll give you the last response.

Goodbye.

HikingVet ,

I mean, there isn’t much of a conversation if two parties don’t have a back and forth.

But hey, you like running from questions I geuss.

Did you miss the whole ‘gang members are cops’ thing in the article someone pasted to you? Weird, because they quoted a relevant sentence and you responded to it.

Especially since you can look in this thread and see that I only replied to two of their comments. I guess three including the one after they said they were blocking me.

You must have been thinking of Memphis, Tennessee or Albuquerque, New Mexico.

LostXOR ,

Albuquerque seemed alright when I went there, though admittedly there was an eclipse going on at the time which may have influenced my opinions.

fathog ,

They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.

Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.

figaro , to nottheonion in Nebraska governor signs executive order defining men as "bigger, stronger and faster"

According to chat gpt:

Are there instances of someone being born “female” but their reproductive system is not developed to produce ova?

Yes, there are instances where individuals are born with female external genitalia but do not have fully developed reproductive systems to produce ova. This condition is known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, or simply MRKH. In MRKH syndrome, individuals typically have a vagina and external female genitalia but may lack a functional uterus and, in some cases, may not have fully developed ovaries. As a result, they may not be able to conceive children naturally.

This condition highlights the complexity of human biology and serves as an example of how one’s biological sex may not always align with traditional expectations. It reinforces the importance of recognizing that individuals’ experiences of their own bodies can vary widely and that gender identity and biological sex are not always perfectly congruent.

Furthermore, there are several other medical conditions and intersex variations that challenge the idea that biology alone can definitively determine one’s gender identity. Here are a few examples:

  1. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): CAH is a group of genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands, leading to variations in hormone production. In some cases, individuals with CAH may have external genitalia that do not align with typical male or female appearance.
  2. Swyer Syndrome: Swyer syndrome is a condition where individuals are born with XY chromosomes but have non-functional testes and develop typically female external genitalia. This condition highlights the importance of chromosomes not being the sole determinant of gender identity.
  3. 5-alpha-reductase deficiency: This condition can result in individuals born with male chromosomes but ambiguous or female external genitalia due to a deficiency in the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into its active form.
  4. Klinefelter Syndrome: Individuals with Klinefelter syndrome have an extra X chromosome (XXY), which can lead to variations in physical development, including less masculine secondary sexual characteristics.

These conditions, among others, demonstrate that biological sex is not always straightforward and that it doesn’t always align with an individual’s gender identity. They emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors, including an individual’s own understanding of their gender, when discussing matters related to gender and sex.

ChatGPT is not a knowledge source and should not be treated as one. It’s trained to be a creative, context sensitive writer. You can equally make it produce a text that denies that.

I have a question about that. It’s a US thing, isn’t it?

I had to install one for a relative and I never needed an app or software or connecting the printer to internet. I simply ran the windows tool and it installed the drivers while the printers couldn’t access the internet. Everything works perfectly. But, I’m in Europe.

Frodo ,

That works for most printers I’ve used in the US too.
