I’ll bring you his pen to prove he’s been dealt with. That will only be $45,000.

Focusing mostly on ChatGPT here as that is where the bulk of my experience is. Sometimes I'll run into a question that I wouldn't even know how best to Google it. I don't know the terminology for it or something like that. For example, there is a specific type of connection used for lighting stands that looks like a plug but there is also a screw that you use to lock it in. I had no idea what to Google to even search for it to buy the adapter I needed.

I asked it again as I forgot what the answer was and I had deleted that ChatGPT conversation from my history, and asked it like this.

I have a light stand that at the top has a connector that looks like a plug. What is that connector called?

And it just told me it's called a "spigot" or "stud" connection. Upon Googling it, that turned out to be correct, so I would know what to search for when it comes to searching for adapters. It also mentioned a few other related types of connections such as hot shoe and cold shoe connections, among others. They aren't correct, but are very much related, and it told me as such.

To put it more succinctly, if you don't know what to search for but have a general idea of the problem or question, it can take you 95% of the way there.

I would like to subscribe to Skeletor, please!

I'm not as familiar with Itch but it works the same as GOG in that you can download the installer and keep it, no special activations or DRM required. Right? Because I definitely love that aspect of GOG. I just wish it had a larger library.

Vision Air. Calling it now.

This reminds me of a joke I read forever ago that is stuck in my brain.

Did you hear about the cows grazing in the marijuana patch?

The stakes have never been higher.

It’s the thing that lets the PC load. Obviously.

I really wish there was an official crossover of those series.

I’m surprised by that. I’ve used it several times and it’s worked just fine.

That looks like it could be fun. Might have to check it out.

To quote Hermes Conrad:

Is there any meat they can’t jerk around here?

That’s where I’m at. I use it regularly for learning new things and for entertainment, so I don’t mind paying for it, and getting rid of ads while supporting creators is perfectly fine with me.

Dudes switching from diet coke to coke.

Instead of sleeping at night, let me just plug in to a charger. It would be much more convenient and reliable.

You’ll have to pry my root access from my cold dead fingers!

jk…take it. I’d rather not have to worry about OS-level shenanigans anymore.

Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛

Same. I used to pay for premium even though I was an Apollo user. I paid because I liked Reddit and thought it brought me value.

Now I’m only keeping my account to ensure my posts and comments stay dead as best as I can.

I mean, sure. A lot of people took out more than they should have. A lot of people who barely had left home to pursue a higher education on the promises of previous generations who nonstop said “you must go to college by any means necessary if you wish to have a successful career.”

Well, they did as they were told, and instead of the promising career and success prospects, they’re struggling to make ends meet because oh hey good luck finding a career if they didn’t go with one of the “good” degrees and now they’re just as well off as if they didn’t go at all, and now they’re having to deal with student loans.

Hmm…no wonder why they were counting on that relief.

I’m one of the lucky ones. I went to college, didn’t even finish and came out with a fantastic career. Not everyone was so lucky. But we were all told the same thing. Some people got lucky, like me. Some people were able to go on mommy and daddy’s dollar. Some others still had to find a way to cover the cost, attendee the classes, got the degree and instead of the supposed good life they were promised, they’re getting fucked over instead.

If you buy a car on a loan and it breaks down on your first day to a new job a few days after buying it, shouldn’t you be made whole? Because that’s effectively the same situation.

In retrospect, I think I would have enjoyed being a librarian. It seems so peaceful, even if the pay isn’t fantastic.

Well when the villagers inevitably forced to return to the island, I imagine the next rock to go up will effectively crush the shell. Just like crushing her legacy.
