I'm proud of the fact I don't know who that is and even more proud that I don't care if anyone thinks that is not impressive. I hate that I learned who poodiepie is and have yet to meet any fans that weren't mentally challenged. It is a waste of space in my brain and I would happily live under a rock if it meant I didn't have to know about the existance of vapid, self-centered, so-called "youtube celebrities". They add nothing to this world of any value and wouldn't be missed.

and your Pants Pee-free

they are seriously underestimating my capabilities, as well as the efficacy of my laundromat and determination of the drunken hobos who live there.

They measure the angular degree of the appliance but I'll wager a testicle they still have not tackled the more critical issue of the degree in temperature of cold porcelain. As I'm sure most men living anywhere with a latitude bigger than 45° can relate, there is nothing worse than having to chip onesself free on a cold night in the dead of winter.

The specs on the website don't have the number one statistic I care about: Can I, a 6'3" (190cm) man, fit comfortably inside without being forced to drive with my knees? It says it is 69" (175cm) tall which is not a promising sign. The website does not have warranty information yet either, the next most important thing for me. The fact it is mostly made in America, implies that it will probably break within a year which makes the price irrelevant. The lack of infotainment is a huge plus, I don't understand how those things are even legal. A laptop dock would be much more beneficial in my opinion. One which can easily slide out of sight, like when I'm actually driving and not just watching porn while stuck in a traffic jam. The option for hand crank windows pretty cool, so I can re-enact that one scene from the movie The Game if I want.

After really taking a deep look at the customization options I can't help but wonder, Am I dressing a Barbie or looking for a vehicle? Can I get the icon in cornflower blue? Is there an option to make the entire vehicle look like a 90's geocities page, including gifs? I spent who knows how long looking at the options and went to see what the price would be. Well guess what? I can't! Not without reserving one for $50. Even then I have no indication I'll be told the price. Sorry but I don't care what options there are, I'm not gonna pay one dollar, let alone fifty, if I can't see what the final price will be, even just an estimate would be nice. Am I supposed to trust the word of random news articles that it's actually under $20k with an asterisk? I don't care if the $50 is refundable. Any company that requires I speak to someone for the price of their product, is a company that is lying about the price of their product.

Great idea and almost a step in the right direction for cars (in my opinion). However, I can all but guarantee this would be a bad car for me to buy, because car salepeople and car engineers simply can't help but take any good idea and load it up with as much enshittification as they possibly can stuff in and then try to get the customer to pay more for heaps of shit on top, which they call icing but is really just shit, all while lying about every possible thing they can.

My eeepc sadly died last year, it was a single core laptop i had running hannah montana linux in my bathroom as a music player.

My Precision M6400, a dual core made in 2008, is still going strong and sure, it's slow, but it still works and has replaced the eeepc in the bathroom so now I can listen to music OR watch videos (not streaming) during my extra long showers. i don't keep it in the bathroom, it's on a dock in another room connected to a monitor with a really long dvi-i cable.

The plan is to keep the people dumb, in debt, in jail, in fear and/or under their control. there's the idea of accelerationism, where to force change, instead of doing things like lowering national debt or slowing climate change, to do whatever it takes to increase them or speed them up, make them worse and let the survivors figure it out. With the jails packed and turned into debtors prisons, utilizing the prison population as cheap labor and a legal form of slavery, they think they can create an industrial revolution. there's also a scientific revolution they hope to bring about, detailed here later.

When I say 'they' i'm referring to the US's current administration of MAGt's and muskrats, who also are in a triumvirate of power with vanilla pudding (the ruler of ru) and xj (if you gotta ask, you can't afford it AKA the ruler of ch). they are the scamchurian candidates, the fronts of the real controllers, the ~2700 billionaires that are known about and a few other hundred that are probably hiding away somewhere. the goal is to end with control over the remaining 99.999999999% of the population by using about 2% to subjugate the rest and force change which will kill off 75% of the people (leaving a PROJECTed 25 percent left), which might slow global warming and the destruction of life on earth just long enough for the remaining scientist slaves to create a base on mars or underwater or in another dimension or whatever, where the 0.0000000001% will live, supplied by the space elevator or portal tech or whatever gets invented to allow them to continue their lavish lives at the cost of billions of others.

so what does this tinfoil hat rant have to do with student loan debt beyond keeping people dumb?

i have a theory using a metaphor based on Newton's laws. they believe they are the unbalanced force in the first law, creating a change, disrupting the object in motion which is humanity and its future. they want to be, or believe they are, the result of the first law as shown by the application of the second law: the combination of mass and acceleration. they are the mass. they believe they are accelerating things. while the third law, every action has an opposite but equal reaction, is their methodology. by strengthening their hold over a large amount of educated people through debt and eliminating the department of education, it will suppress scientific progress and contain it, hoping to force a powerful reaction as the pressure builds and eventually boils out or explodes, resulting in some major scientific breakthrough that will save the day which they will take credit for. except it wont happen and instead there will be decades of unnecessary suffering as their plans fail miserably and all the bad things in the world continue to grow unchecked.

treat all that the talking heads say, as not just lies but the exact opposite of the truth and the plan is revealed. when they make accusations, that's what they are planning to do. when they claim something they are doing will help people or industry or whatever, it will hurt it severely. destroy the dollar and other major currencies to force a switch to a cryptocurrency they control. censor information and remove freedom of speech. murder, arrest or deport anyone who dissents too loudly. epsteins island was nothing, instead of a pedophile island they will create a pedophile nation.

yeah, i know, this is all more than just a bit of a crazed rant. i can't say i believe all this 100%. i don't think it is all too far from the truth either. i wish i had the means to do something to stop it beyond ranting like a madman online. at least my student loans were forgiven. total and permanent disability did that. hooray. i'm debt free. now i can enjoy all that life has to offer... i had way too much coffee today.

I have an OSM account and even resolved a note or two. I've cleared every SC quest within a mile+ from my apartment and for the most part things look accurate. There are a couple fixes that need done but I also have severe ADHD. I absolutely WILL mess things up in OSM. That's why Street Complete is perfect for me, it removes all possibility of me making catastrophic changes erroneously.

For example, a library near me was torn down and a new one was built across the street from where it was. The old ones location is the new ones parking lot and the new one is where a business used to be. The road and sidewalks around them were also redone in a slightly different layout. I looked into correcting this and quickly learned I'm not capable of fixing it in OSM. I could try. However if it can't be done in about 45 seconds, I wont finish what I start. I left a note instead, so hopefully someone with that capability does and I can verify it with SC if that ever happens.

Well, I'm stuck on a Verizon plan, so my SMS don't send anyways.

Stay on Earth.

Pretend all is normal and fine.

Once the 'elite' have left to their new planet:

Cut off all communications with them.

Destroy any of their supply lines left behind.

Wait 5-10 years.

Watch as the Earth heals rapidly, with it's biggest source of destruction now gone and nature resumes being an unstoppable force.

Live a long and happy life, free of megalomaniacs.

Optional: hold hands with two chicks at the same time.

I don't really think I'm important enough for doxxing to matter. I've even posted my social security number in a chat room before, just for a laugh. Also my banking and paypal logins.

One time after I did that, I met a nice person who privately messaged me. They were just like me, same mothers maiden name, same name for our first pet, even went to the same first concert! what are the odds?

Anyways so like a week later some hacker stole my identity. I couldn't believe it. The crazy part though is that my credit score actually went UP. About a month later the hacker actually called me and tried to make me take my identity back but I knew better than that. No backsies. Heh, sucker. Have fun with your new wife, moron.

Honestly, I was happy to have someone to talk to for a bit. It was nice.

Because I am terrible at writing, most of this was painstakingly generated using LLaMA 3.1 70B & 405B. Believe it or not, this was actually a lot of work.

The LLM ruins your presentation in my opinion. I do not mean that you disclosed the use of a LLM, I personally appreciate that honesty quite a lot. The short version is that there is too much elaboration.

That's the first thing the LLM provided for you: It elaborates too much and gives a massive wall of text. One that you spent a long time painstakingly editing. If you had started from scratch and formulated it yourself, you most likely could have come up with a far more readable essay for the average stranger on the internet (I'm assuming that was your intended audience. I'm frequently wrong about things.) Look for the redundancies. LLM's seem to love saying the same thing in different ways. Just an observation I've made which I have no backing for. Many of these points could easily be combined in my opinion.

The second thing using AI did to your detriment, is that the sections are not human-like. They are formulaic, each one having several clauses or thoughts strung together with commas. Sure, each sentence might be grammatically correct but I bet I could read this to my nephews as a way to quickly get them to fall asleep. Not only does every sentence have multiple thoughts and concepts, there are few intermediary sentences to break up the monotony.

The third and final thing I will point out is that page breaks and spacing things out are absolutely critical to keeping people engaged. Twitter became popular because of the character limit. If your point takes longer than 7 seconds for someone to read in their head, you've lost half your audience. Tell the AI to be more succint if you continue using one.

I think you might do better if you took out all of the text that isn't bolded/strong or a header. Link to the full manuscript somewhere else at the end for those who are interested. Those 2-4 words starting the numbered points are all most people will need. If they do need further clarification or specifics, visit that's when they can visit a link at the end.

Just my two cents.

now is my chance to brag that I've been running HML on a eee pc netbook that's mounted on a wall in my bathroom, for about 4 years now, as a music player and in case of emergency internet searches when showering and it does its job wonderfully.
