Robert Jordan also happens to be the pen name of the author of the Wheel of Time series, and I made a joke about it.

so I’d think that if a place offer euthanasia id probably be more likely to visit

I’d feel the same, sometime

Tbf the face actors were probably the weakest part of the show (excluding Zordon, ironically)

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan

Amazing to think that if not for this poor hiring choice we never would have gotten the Wheel of Time series.

I’m building a ‘Warrior’ line, where I will go back in history from pre-greek days, as far back as I can,” the actor explained. “I’m gonna have famous quotes from warriors of all ilks, including the terrible ones. Hitler was, you know, a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one-liners. So everybody from the great ones to the infamous and terrible ones.”

Ah, creating fake controversy to drum up publicity for your bs, got it.

They’ll switch back to the normal can soon enough…with the raised price, so they can do it again…

Every time they start talking about it something like this happens and everyone there “rallys around the flag”

Them making you wait is also often a consequence of earlier patients showing up late or an appointment requiring more time than expected.

The options to solve it are less patients per day, but that leads to even longer delays before you even get to your appointment date, OR more professional staff in the office…but that would cut into profits of the people in charge so is immediately off the table in this damned money world.

Yes, so they take your money, donate it to a cause that they are aligned with (possibly under the same corporate structure) take a tax credit on a portion of what you gave them to donate (which helps reduce their tax burden to near-zero), and enrich their friends in the process.

At least in the US the part about individuals getting a tax break would only apply if they’re itemizing their deductions which usually works out to be higher tax rate than the standard deduction for the majority of people.

I think it helps separate you from the victims. If you feel that you wouldn’t have made the same mistakes as the people who went and got murdered, then it feels a lot less like something that might happen to you.

I’ve sat through 2 murder trials and between the testimony and pictures I can confidently say I’m really not interested in the detailed reality of horrific murders.

But to each their own, I guess.

iirc he made best friends with Robot Schwarzenegger, and really wanted to bang Robot Summer Glau. So maybe stop with the hypocritical judgment, John.

The hype around AI language models has companies scrambling to hire prompt engineers to improve their AI queries and create new products.

Who is hiring all these prompt engineers? Who is ‘scrambling’ to find people for this? The jobs I do see have basically replaced “developer” with “prompt engineer” with the same job requirements.

Emergent behavior is pretty much anything an old model couldn’t do that a new model can. Simple reasoning, creating coherent sentences, “theory of mind”, basic math, translation, I think are a few examples.

They aren’t “amazing” in the sense that a human can’t do them, but they are in the sense that a computer is doing it.

Do “printers” have an approval rating? Because I bet it’s low.

I’d wager selling your data as an additional income stream is one of the primary reasons some studios do it in the first place.

This sounds like a cool idea in a decade

Kricfalusi’s lawyer confirmed that “for a brief time, 25 years ago, he had a 16-year-old girlfriend”, but denied that Kricfalusi’s “avid pursuit” of Rice was sexual harassment or that he had ever possessed child pornography.[100] Kricfalusi released an apology to the women and his fans for his behavior, which he said was motivated by undiagnosed bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as “poor impulse control”.[5] Byrd and Rice criticized Kricfalusi’s statement as a non-apology and an attempt to deflect the blame.[101]
