Just tell her you don't want to meet up and why. Save her the headache of thinking you're even remotely interested in being her friend.

And every small and large organization who uses enterprise software that doesn't work on any other OS.

I love when I'm surrounded by treasures in an ancient temple no human has laid eyes on in thousands of years, so I take a look at a scroll then immediately leave.

Getting into macro myself, I'd be grateful if you shared how you did it.

Maybe not any plot holes per se, but there's definitely some character inconsistencies, a whole lot of convenient timing and coincidence, and they stretch plausibility to its absolute limits. But hey that's what makes great television.

ITT: Edgar Wright movies

And what? You couldn't possibly miss a story you have a clear and obvious bias against? Your fingers clearly work, but sure let me look that up for you.

making wild assumptions based on suspicions

Last month directly following DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board, users with Russian IPs were blocked from logging in to their systems with valid credentials. The attempt was only thwarted by geo blocking, meaning we only caught the ones who couldn't be bothered to use a VPN. And we only know about this incident because of a whistleblower at the NLRB.

The only person who's made an assumption here is you, my dude. And the fact that you would blatantly accuse me of making an assumption and call me hysterical without even the slightest attempt to confirm the information is exactly what I mean by "you lunatics." No you're not MAGA 'tard', you're worse because you're fighting their battles and you don't even know it. And don't you dare call me a fucking Democrat. That crosses the line. In fact I think you've got a few things backwards.

I'm talking about the gutting and defanging of the federal agencies that protect the life and liberty of the people from corporations and other private interests, and I'm talking about Russians remotely accessing these federal agencies information with valid credentials the day after DOGE infiltrates them. Tf are you on about? What is with you lunatics and your obsession with Obama?

In fact it’s not really clear that they’ve actually achieved anything on the short or long term

Literally what are you talking about? The U.S as we know it has been dismantled. If this administration somehow explicitly ended today we'd have still lost over 100 years of social progress, not to mention Russia and God only knows who else has all of our data, Intel, and government secrets. They've already accomplished everything they've set out to. The bribery and big beautiful bills and everything else from here on out is just gravy to them.

That's a tiktok thing. In the videos it's satisfying to pull out all the glue and pre-staged gunk from the port in one solid go, but in reality you have no idea how much dried glue is being left behind or how it's going to interact with the lint and dust in the port. You could potentially render the port unusable. Better to go with a soft pick and some compressed air.

By a long shot. The sentences have been absolutely unhinged the last couple of weeks, and full of words I haven't learned on top of that.

That's pretty hilarious considering I've been using Duolingo (cracked apks) for years and these last couple of weeks the sentences it's been giving me are insane and weird, stupidly awkward things that no one would ever say IRL.

Airlearn isn't quite there as far as speech recognition but the lessons are a lot more natural and it actually tells you why and explains different parts of the culture around the language and why an idea might be expressed a certain way rather than how we're used to in English. An LLM could never.

I honestly think people underestimate how much they're influenced by this kind of thing in a neutral, sober state. But marketing doesn't.

Okay?

And also no eyes.

And they can't even look upon their creation? Rude.

Then they'll fall for it again in a couple of years 😭

Ever notice how any time a Chinese app gets highlighted as being for data harvesting, there's a bunch of people crawling out of the woodwork to claim "whatabout american apps!?",

Yes, because the American social media apps and other data harvesters have a much greater affect on our lives than Chinese, but American media goes on and on about the dangers of Chinese social media and most Americans don't even think about American social media.

And did you just accuse me of crawling out of woodwork?!

but whenever an American app gets the same exposer, noone ever goes "whatabout Chinese apps apps!?"

Yes because it makes perfect sense on western social media to cry "What about tiktok?!" When an article comes out about the very scandals you're talking about. In fact I'm not sure what point you're even trying to make saying the outrage is manufactured but then giving reasons why it should be legitimate.

I do consider Chinese officials getting blackmail material on American politicians and businesses more dangerous then American companies doing the same.

Well that's an insane take. American companies blackmailing American politicians is why we slide further and further into a corporatocracy.

I had assumed that's what they were doing with the data they bought from data brokers like Meta and Alphabet, yes.

U mad?
