Oh it is a democracy, but not "direct democracy". We don't choose what happens, we just choose who decides what happens.

Still not a democracy, you just described a Republic, which is what we've always officially been even if die hard patriots prefer to say democracy

Those in power bribe, threaten, and lie, and we can't do shit about it because the actual hood guys end due to harassment or threats and can't deal with it psychologically.

Plutocracy in action

Aoc can't run until next election, Michelle Obama has zero interest in being president (didn't even want to be first lady), Elizabeth Warren isn't much younger than trump and Biden (and a lot of moderates still won't vote for a woman, see: Hillary Clinton), and Jill Stein is just as old too and part of the green party which isn't going to even have a chance at winning a presidential election until there is no climate left to change unfortunately

I don't think they meant it was inferior, just that chatgpt is only mostly functioning

I know it's probably meant to be semi-serious but I can't stop giggling at their faces

A big ding to your credit score itself is actually a low amount of lines of credit, I think 10+ is considered "good" which is ridiculous

Apparently I was wrong, and learned something new today. Your score comes from:
35% - payment history (everything paid on time, etc)
30% - amount owed
15% - age of credit history
10% - how many new lines of credit
10% - credit mix (just credit cards vs credit cards, auto loans, etc)

I can skip the search engine and go right to the bad suggestions, finally!

Then I moved the microscope until it finds at least one, pick the first one from the new lever group, and my power takes care of throwing that first found/seen lever in the same instant as me throwing it in a normal set of levers

The first one that that guy sees, or the first one listed when they tell me what levers they have in the warehouse

They get smaller to show that they're further away in the background not that they get infinitely small. If they were actually getting smaller, then sure, I grab an electron microscope, look at a field of levers, zoom until I see one, and pick that one, then somehow throw an electron sized lever, move to the next, smaller, physics defying lever group and just wait for quantum mechanics to do it's thing I guess

This would apply if I had to pick based on the set of levers in each group. By picking the first one I see I get out of the muck of pure math, I don't care about the set as a whole, I pick the first lever I see, lever x. Doesn't matter if it's levers -10 to 10 real numbers only, my lever x could be lever -7, the set could be some crazy specific set of numbers, doesn't matter I still pick the first one I see regardless of all the others in the set.

Pure math is super fun, but reality is a very big loophole

The first lever I see in each group.

The pizza slices are about $2, the whole pizza is only $10

Lutris > gog as source > set proton as a runner (or wine, or whatever else if specific games require it, like FFXIV)

That won't stop Republicans from blaming Democrats for it if it's unpopular with their base. Afterall, there were democrats present for the vote

Religious extremists: everyone should follow my religion, beliefs, morals, and rules or be punished

Atheistic extremists: religion is dumb and should not have their beliefs taught as facts (creationism not evolution, etc), but people can believe what they want. Also, don't give religious people preferential treatment (tax-free churches, absolved of crimes for being a "good Christian", etc)

I think "you must believe only my stuff" is intolerant, but "believe what you want, just don't push it on others" is only intolerant because religion wants to be pushed on everyone else

Even if my wife and I get our meal fully comped because the kitchen messed up or it took a long time (has happened a few times, college town. We never complain or get upset, the managers just come over and apologize then comp it), we qt least tip as if it wasn't comped, if we liked our server and/or the food a lot (both, most of the time) then we tip the full amount of the comped meal. Without fail the servers have been surprised that we tip at all when that happens

I use vim keybinds (via doom emacs) for this sort of stuff if I'm doing it for personal projects, my professional work is all done in an online platform (no way around it) so it's just faster and easier to throw the pattern and columns at the integrated chatgpt terminal rather than hop to a local editor and back

I use chatgpt semi-often... For generating stuff in a repeating pattern. Any time I have used it to make code, I don't save any time because I have to debug most of the generated code anyway. My main use case lately is making python dicts with empty keys (e.g. key1, key2... becomes "key1": "", "key2": "",...) or making a gold/prod level SQL view by passing in the backend names and frontend names (e.g. value_1, value_2... Value 1, Value 2,... Becomes value_1 as Value 1,...).

It's great - if you have a good boss.

Unlimited cons: need approval, don't get paid for unused time when you leave
Limited cons: needs approval, some places have use it or lose it policy for each year or you need to wait for days to accrue, limited sick days

Unlimited pros: unlimited, usually comes with unlimited sick days, don't have to worry about accruing days
Limited pros: get paid for unused days when you leave
