“there’s nothing wrong with capitalism”

You sure about that?

Also you’re describing commerce, which can exist in non-capitalist systems.

I don’t understand how this level of depraved evil became so normal in our society. What happened to literally any ambition to evolve?

Spoiler alert: they can’t!

Starbucks has been spending tens of millions of dollars a year trying to figure out how to grow coffee in non-traditional coffee growing regions like hot lowlands where it doesn’t get cool at night.

These farmers will be abandoned by their colonial overlords, and replaced with new farmers in different areas.

Achingly unfunny.

I sorta disagree though, based on my experience with llms.

The email it generates will need to be read carefully and probably edited to make sure it conveys your point accurately. Especially if it’s related to something as serious as insurance.

If you already have to specifically create the prompt, then scrutinize and edit the output, you might as well have just written the damn email yourself.

It seems only useful to write slop that doesn’t matter that only gets consumed by other machines and dutifully logged away in a slop container.

Every other queens of the stone age record is an instant classic. They’re probably my favorite band and I genuinely dislike half their stuff.

Sizzling hot take, lol

• obstruction surgery
• cancer surgery and treatment
• cardiology to treat dilated cardiomyopathy.

Probably cost $25k over the years. I’m extremely grateful our pet insurance covered 80-90% of that.

Dude just turned 10 and he’s healthy and happy enough to start treating his arthritis.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

All my teacher friends wind up working 10 hour days on average.

They work during breaks.

They work during summer.

Good teachers don’t just show up for classroom time then disappear.

Teaching.

College degree mandatory, graduate degree preferred.

Yearly continuing education costs.

Out of pocket expenses for classroom materials.

Sometimes providing food for kids who don’t have it.

Famously low salaries and very long hours.

Most people can’t afford new cars, let alone new cars priced way above average.

Water, electricity, or both?

ACAB

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.

Fwiw, my local golf course was built on the site of a former landfill that’s unsuitable for housing.

Objectively and demonstrably false
