Good thing my boycott is uh astrologically motivated

Use an alternative UI like ~~https://blorpblorp.xyz/~~

Edit: Seems like blorp is not open source so I cannot personally recommend it. You can try some other UI like photon. It is different from new reddit but has medium sized pictures when the view is set to cozy and seems pretty round.

Who killed Charlie KKKirk? And why?

Praying for a swift end to his suffering 🙏

I’m in always “let them fight” mode because of my terminal nihilism

The problem with Democrats these days is when they get up to the podium in debates and say that “I am going to do what Trump is going to do but a bit watered down and a little bit woke” it doesn’t grab anyone.

Remember when liberals were creaming when Kamala and co. (rightly) called Republicans weird and it was such an epic own it went viral? And then her party got demolished in the ensuing election? Feels like yesterday.

if it could greatly benefit stuff like mental healthcare or learning problems

I have talked to deepseek a couple of times when I was having a bad time and it didn’t help much because I can’t say for sure whether whatever it is saying as true or correct. This problem doesn’t exist to such a large extent in domains like coding because you can compile and run the program and test it against reality. LLMs being weird yes men is something I find deeply unsettling. On the other hand, what is someone gonna do? Talk to friends, family, therapist etc.? Some people can and should do this while others don’t have this privilege. So I can’t condemn people turning to chatbots for mental health support but I wish they didn’t have to do that. We will find out about the long term efficacy of therapist LLMs later but my prediction is that it won’t be considered useful for that.

For learning and stuff I find it a bit suspect because if you are using LLMs to learn something, you won’t be able to tell when it is making shit up. You might get decent results if you use it at a level up to high school and maybe early undergrad but aa things get more esoteric LLMs start becoming less reliable.

Just 10 trillion dollars more bro we will build god bro trust me bro

What’s AU?

Tbf the article paints them more as freaks than environmentally conscious

Thanks

Tangentially, why did they make a superhero called He Man that was a scantily class sexy man? Feels like a parody.

Not as much as they pine for though

Only legal adults

What you said is all true. My view was in respect to the realisation of impotency when trying to enact change and how one copes with that realisation. This gets into the territory of extrapolating from incomplete information. We are never told what Mrs. and Mr. McNulty were like before their marriage descended into ruin. Elena to me does not seem suspect but I never felt that her and James were compatible as a couple. Like there isn’t a throwback to the good bygone days of togetherness. The show kinda makes look like the “b*tch wife” when McNulty seems to be trying make a turnaround but she doesn’t allow him the opportunity. I don’t know whether the writers had the awareness that she doesn’t owe him the chance. But considering there are at least two other “b*tch wives” in the show (Daniels’ and Kima’s) I felt that is what they were going for.

When McNulty gets together with Beadie, which coincides with him becoming a beat cop, it can be interpreted two ways:

• McNulty gives up trying to be an agent of change and tried to maximise his personal happiness
• McNutty has found a partner that understands his situation better and hence gets along with better

I feel kinda stupid for saying this but I genuinely thought it was the latter considering how Beadie is/was something like like a police (I don’t remember exactly what) and they closely worked together on a gruesome case (in season 2). Therefore speaking on a purely hypothetical level, I thought she could be a better outlet for his frustrations that “wh*ring and drinking” since she understands his plight better.

When it turns out that the former was actually true, I just feel like an idiot because I didn’t understand how nihilistic the show was until I watched the last episode.

Which bridge is this and why is it hated?

I hadn’t thought about it hard but yeah you are right. The last season is awful. Stuff seems to happen out of nowhere. New mayor finding himself 54 mil in the hole. Marlo isn’t a new character in the season, but his gang effortlessly killing other profile gangsters on top of the whimsical killing of civilians feels just like kinda stupid. The plotline about journalism feels shoehorned in. There isn’t anything about journalism until this point and now they try to show how careerist journalists lie and the newsroom lets them and this whole thing is explained by an obsession with the pulitzer prize. It is all really bad stuff.

Clay Davis makes my skin crawl. There is something really unsettling about the character.

The McNulty relapse made no sense to me. It should be possible for him to cope with the return to high profile policework without “drinking and removed” but the writers willed against it.
