You seem to have misread the original post. It didn’t say anything about pretending he isn’t a candidate. What it said was:

Can we stop pretending like it’s ok for this guy to be running for president?

Emphasis mine

So, poster was suggesting that it’s wrong for us to pretend that it is reasonable for a corrupt, criminal wanna-be fascist dictator running for president.

I kind of agree. It’s not something we should consider ok. However, it is par for the course.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Ask the women in your life for advice.

What do your woman friends say?

You know, strand a wacky crew on a Mars base with some goofy passengers… I’d probably watch it.

The turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole.

Confirming for the record that Trump hates immigrants.

When people ask me why I like Linux, my go-to reason is my main personal machine. I use it for everything I do outside of work, including running my Emby server.

I built it from $500 worth of parts 13 years ago. I’ve kept updating the os and applications. It’s starting to slow down a bit after the last os upgrade, but it’s still plenty usable.

I am getting concerned about the spinning platters. As far as I am aware, Linux won’t prevent an ancient hard disk drive from reaching the natural end of is life.

It’s probably time to move on to a new machine. Well, new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and disks at least.

Someone has already centipedized humans. This is the next step.

I still prefer Kermit’s version.

that doesn’t mean the political articles will be!

The idea is that it means there’s no reason to trust anything the paper says. However, that doesn’t go far enough.

If you read an article in a paper about something you have direct knowledge of, and you can confirm the article is factually correct, that still doesn’t mean anything else in the paper can be trusted.

You can’t really trust anything. For all you know, I’m a guinea pig who managed to steal a cell phone to post on the Internet. I’m not, of course. That would be impossible. However, how would you know?

“Tricked” implies that he cares if it’s true or not.

He’s not being tricked any more than Rupert Murdock is tricked by the stories his company promotes.

Yep.

This is the way.

I received some bad screws in a high-end monitor mount for medical diagnostic monitors. The tech who was mounting the monitor didn’t realize, and tried to use gorilla strength to drive the screw in. He broke the head of the screw off.

The monitor in question was a brand new, $13,000 monitor. We needed it, and we couldn’t wait to ship it back to the manufacturer to get the screw removed.

I got the smallest set of screw extractors I could buy, wrapped the monitor in plastic with a hole over the screw. I put a piece of tape over the hole so that everything was sealed with only the screw exposed.

I went very slow and very gentle, vacuuming up any bits of metal shavings before fully removing the screw, but it went fine.

It was quite a butt-puckering operation, but I survived it.

Our library let’s you borrow free passes to different museums and attractions in the area.

You’re not wrong, but Romans had much better concrete.

I think the LLM could be decent at the task of being a fairly dumb personal assistant. An LLM interface to a robot that could go get the mail or get you a cup of coffee would be nice in an “unnecessary luxury” sort of way. Of course, that would eliminate the “unpaid intern to add experience to a resume” jobs. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad,l. I’m also not sure why anyone would want it, since unpaid interns are cheaper and probably more satisfying to abuse.

I can imagine an LLM being useful to simulate social interaction for people who would otherwise be completely alone. For example: elderly, childless people who have already had all their friends die or assholes that no human can stand being around.

Think of the savings if you replace the CEO with an AI!

You’ve turned off your monitor and turned it back on.

Stupid people?
