I wonder if Google drive has a directory limit

Character.ai filing for bankruptcy after adopting it so quick and feeding it to a loyal customer base is probably a sign the bubble is bursting.

Literally, they were one of the biggest and most successful AI resellers and they couldn’t stay afloat. Successful as in “people used their product a ton for free” though I think.

these companies get so much funding from investors they forget they have to make money and not just spend it on giving people free AI products.

I didn’t think we’d have this problem with AI. I also didn’t realize we’d train it with tons of fiction that includes scifi with AI going haywire and killing humans, then making decisions based on its continuation of text.

3 onion rings

I know the reference but just fyi, this was not nearly as common as claimed and not responsible for a lot of witch trial stuff. It was more like cops interrogating people until they freak out, then claim “fine I wrote my name in the devil’s book, but Becky did too!!” And then it ended up some prosecutorial bullshit with them wanting a confession out of everyone.

The “funny” thing is, those that confessed and repented often survived and lived normal lives. It’s more people that denied it and had others claim they were witches were executed.

And there are weird instances like a guy who confessed but was still executed… But he legitimately was giving divinations, and telling people how many children they would have. Like a back in the day psychic. The witch trial stuff really, really didn’t like divination. Herbs and midwifery stuff was way less of a big deal, and an honored profession being a “physic”. It was not considered witchcraft to use herbs to heal people unless you did weird rituals.

For grain to give you hallucinations, it has to be rye grain and in a cold and wet climate, which ergot specifically would grow in. Then the rye grain itself would grow big black visible horns, and they would still need to not discard that obvious contaminated grain and grind it into flour. Then that flour was eaten, and they hallucinated. And it fucked up your veins and gave you black limbs often too.

There’s often not great evidence for this phenomenon unless they are in a cold and damp area growing rye, and report the medical issues on top, black limbs.

People act like if you let bread mold it’ll grow it, but that’s not the case. It’s much more rare of a phenomenon, a fungus that attacks rye itself.

oh yeah I figured the same.

You know looking into it now out of curiosity, it sounds like there’s auto dialer laws and they can send SMS without express consent as long as a human initiated the text. So they send messages by hand I guess, then probably have machines handle the STOP stuff

Nah some actually do and I was fucking shocked when the dude laughed at my joke, can’t even remember what it was

I just remember being slightly embarrassed but he said I made his day

They don’t have to be an Elon Musk fan boy to be like “huh going to Mars would be cool, I don’t know”, but that’s the thing, you just introduced a way to come to a quick conclusion where you don’t respect the person enough to fuck them. It’s over before it starts.

If they start rattling off about Elon Musk out of nowhere, I get it, but that’s also part of it - they’d do that shit if you tried casual sex and it’d kill the mood. But if you try to talk a ton instead of jumping to casual sex, you invite this sort of incident. You ask them to talk about shit they’re interested in, and some of it may disappoint you greatly.

By having this small talk ahead of time and trying to make a connection, you stopped trying to have casual sex and started trying to connect with someone, and you’re likely not going to be each other’s soul mate here when you’re both just being horny… So why bother fucking with that type of conversation?

I’ve had casual sex where most of what I remember was the shitty small talk after that I should have avoided. It’s way better to be like “yeah baby that was great uh huh bye” and run out the fucking door after.

There’s another unfortunate scenario where they end up liking you and wanting more and you don’t and you started it out with honestly being horny, so don’t give them a reason to fall for you and ruin a good casual thing too.

it’s better to just get it out of the way rather than have long tormented pretend social activity when two people are literally just horny

…and if there was someone you thought was hot and you wanted to fuck them, do you want to fuck it up by having a weird disagreement about whether it’s worthwhile for SpaceX to go to Mars or some shit?

Or the world is so fucked up and they’re contributing so much, they don’t give a fuck about the cancer

in the email spec if I remember correctly, capital letters can indeed be handled differently

I would argue that compelling can work if it’s done right. Like the Joaquin Phoenix actor was the right balance of “compelling” but in a bad way where he’s obviously compelling for the wrong reasons. He’s like a fucked up call of the void joker, an antihero for incels.

All the incel drama that came out of that first movie was a sign that Joker was done really well IMO. He made the character believable, someone who could convince a fucked up troupe of incels to put clown paint on and terrorize people as a way of taking out their own anger back at the world for not fitting in.

Like it always seemed so fucking weird that he had a posse of clowns. That was the first Joker to make it real.

STOP THE DOWNLOADIN

They used to get physical abuse too but now they just have to settle for light emotional

You know what pisses me off? All that censorship of d*ath and r*pe and “unalived himself” isn’t to make it safer for people like to remove trigger words or something, it’s that the YouTube algorithm would realize their content is adult content otherwise and make it so they can’t show it to kids.

These fucking asshole influencers wanted to get as much money as possible, and wanted to talk about really sensitive topics and ensure they got ad money from all age groups.

So this whole thing started as a predatory trick

I’d say ethics aside, it’s inherently dangerous to pirate executable files… so there’s an argument to just not do it to avoid viruses.

I personally would never pirate an executable file for that reason alone. A lot of games have demos these days thankfully, so that’s a way to get a taste and see if it’s worth buying. And in my experience, I got bored of several demos and saved money! And some I realized I would probably really enjoy it.

Ethically though? I mean, if they offer a demo and they’re an indie studio, I think it’s much more ethical to try the demo.

No joke, in darkness that would be terrifying

…just make your own at that point and save money? You should not be suffering spending extra on unscented stuff. That’s like the easy ass default. You can buy unscented soap in bulk for cheap as hell.

And haven’t tried this, but: https://cadryskitchen.com/diy-coconut-oil-deodorant/

Like baking soda, cornstarch, and coconut oil might be all you need for an unscented deodorant
