Ballistic_86 , 1 month ago to memes in Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore

I think it is interesting to point out that AI will be good, maybe too good. It isn’t right now, it’s a novelty in the early stages of such mass adoption that a lot of the consequences are just starting to appear.

The phones owned by Gen A in 40 years will have a useful, realistic, and default AI assistant. It just sucks that the development of this technology is only driven by late-stage capitalism.

What was the distress? What was the conflict with the neighbors?

Turns out it was an”Fuck Trump” sign in the neighbors yard. So now it is just an Ouroboros, where the justification for the flag not being about Trump comes back to being about supporting Trump.

Hello,

Thanks for reading my email. As a large language model….

Haha

Ballistic_86 , 1 month ago to news in Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails

It is important for cis people to do so for one important reason on top of what you said, if only trans people need to put their pronouns in their profiles is just another way to identify them.

If everyone does it, nobody feels awkward about doing it.

Yeah, AP is good. But this does show a lack of understanding on the part of the author. I expect better of them.

Ballistic_86 , 1 month ago to news in Daily marijuana use outpaces daily drinking in the US, a new study says

I don’t trust a news source still calling it marijuana. Marijuana is a Mexican weed that was used as racist propaganda against cannabis in the early 20th century.

I’m happy to see the wide-spread adoption of cannabis. It’s non-addictive (it can be habit forming), you can’t overdose on it, and withdrawal is non-existent. Alcohol is addictive, you can def die from consuming too much in a single sitting, and withdrawal can literally kill you.

Jerry has been going on the wrought ideas of cancel culture inhibiting his ability to tell jokes. As if he was attempting to make high-art and the “woke” mob isn’t letting him. His two movies have been about a bee and the other about a pop tart.

Ancient Egypt was Ancient to Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. They both lived closer in time to us than they did the building of the pyramids.

I haven’t taken the time to sit down and watch this video yet, 4 hours! But I love Jenny’s content and am excited to see it.

Still hoping she will cover the official closing of Evermore

Ballistic_86 , 1 month ago to worldnews in Boeing whistleblower John Barnett died by suicide, police investigation concludes

The bullet that killed him matched the gun in his hand, like okay that’s fair. But they use that as the justification for suicide. Like, of course if you want someone to look like they killed themselves you would use a gun and place it in their hand. Didn’t we learn about this kind of basic subterfuge in our teenage years watching TV/Movies.

Whistleblowers risk their entire reputations and careers in the pursuit of doing the right thing and stopping corporations from committing crimes. Isn’t that the opposite of wanting to kill yourself? Courage in the face of tremendous opposition??

It isn’t crazy that the poster did the substitution, it’s is common way to replace some ingredients. She just didn’t execute properly and blamed the recipe maker/poster instead of being self-aware.

Good on you for going the extra mile for your friend!

Ballistic_86 , 1 month ago to funny in I can't believe it tastes different

You can replace SOME of the oil with applesauce. But replacing all of it (which I did find on some really shitty websites) will not work correctly.

Fat soluble flavors will be diluted by the excess water as well as not giving flour anything to bond to. Less flavor, rock hard baked good.

If you want to try using applesauce, use unsweetened applesauce and only replace (at max) 50% of the oil required for the recipe. Results may vary, I don’t see the use in lowering the fat content of a delicious baked good. I’m eating that shit full flavor, full fat, full sugar. Just eat less of it.

Outside of that tangent, the gall of this person to say “I followed the recipe exactly” when their very first sentence contradicts that completely.

Def not a bad idea, the more cities around the world the better. I also like the idea of sister cities, if they were to stick to a single portal to portal connection. I’m in Minneapolis, maybe match it with a similarly sized city across the pond. Could root for each others sports teams, offer support in trying times, develop a digital bond.

Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?
