"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

I'm excluding abuse, power imbalance, and surprise changes later in the relationship that wasn't expected or notable from the jump.

Im talking about the women who knew the guy was a bum, loser, and had no signs of providing or living for himself only.

I will never understand or empathize with women who actively allow guys who they know are losers, impregnate them, then decide to stay and have MORE kids then to then decide the guy is a loser!

You literally hold the key to life, and you decide years later to pop up and say hey this guy sucks. But at that point, it's 100% your fault for allowing this loser access to your body. So yes, your body is your choice but bear the consequence by not screaming dead beat like he wasn't a loser from the start.

It's worse when the girl has confidence to know she has options and still settles for a loser and expects the world to empathize with her.

It’s kinda like comparing West vs East Europe.

American culture puts a HUGE emphasis on African history, the cultures slavery destroyed, the people displaced, and the generational aftermath (and rightfully so!!!).
Yet Americans barely acknowledge the Arab/Islamic-world slave trade that has devastated Africans for centuries - and is supposedly ongoing to this day.

If Americans care about what slavery did to African people, why omit this?

I made a series of proxy bundles based on classic painters earlier this year, one of which was an Artemisia Gentileschi's bundle that included a "Judith Beheading Holofernes" for a 'Go For The Throat' proxy. And saw this morning that the Zeta set used the same Gentileschi painting for the same card lol.

And to be clear, I just think it's funny - we both used public domain art. Although mine was done as an homage which overtly credits Gentileschi.

I already thought this set was pretty lazy, this was just the cherry on top.

I saw Matt Rife perform at the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival in Vancouver, and I was honestly disgusted and deeply disappointed by his entire set.
I had tickets for the whole weekend and decided it would be good to see him live and judge for myself instead of basing my opinion on the few clips I had seen online. My 21-year-old daughter had warned me about him, but now I have seen it for myself.
He seems completely obsessed with talking about sex in the most vulgar ways possible. I understand that sex is sometimes part of comedy, but this was beyond extreme. He argued that the United States is behind the rest of the world and needs more legalized prostitution, encouraged people to start using drugs if they aren’t already, and told a disgusting story about attending a live sex show in Amsterdam with his best friend.
I’m not going to repeat everything he said because it was that revolting. He spent what felt like half the routine acting out masturbation. At another point, they put a close-up of his face on the big screen while he described a man climaxing with a soft penis, and then he spit out of his mouth to demonstrate what it supposedly looked like. Nobody needed to see that. It wasn’t clever. It wasn’t edgy. It was just disgusting.
I understand that some people think he is sexy, and maybe if I had only seen a picture of him, I might have thought so too. But after watching him perform, he became incredibly unattractive to me. His constant need to turn everything into something graphic and sexual felt unhealthy and honestly made me wonder what his issue is.
There was also a woman who approached from the audience and said something none of us could hear. It clearly bothered him, and he retaliated by going on and on about how her shorts were too short and how much cellulite she was showing. This was not even an overweight woman, although that shouldn’t matter. I don’t care how rude she may have been. Publicly humiliating a woman and attacking her body in front of thousands of people is not appropriate. Calling it “comedy” does not make it funny.
There were also two people with severe physical disabilities in wheelchairs near the stage. One had a sign saying “Roast me,” so yes, that person knowingly opened the door to being included. But the way Rife roasted both of them made me deeply uncomfortable. Maybe those two individuals were completely fine with it because they are fans of his, but I imagine many other people living with similar disabilities would feel very differently if they came across those clips.
Overall, Matt Rife came across as someone completely addicted to talking about sex in the crudest and most degrading way possible. There was nothing insightful or intelligent underneath it. It was vulgarity, humiliation and shock value passed off as comedy.
I will never pay to see him again, and I genuinely regret going. I hope more people start taking a stand with their dollars against this type of behavior. At some point, we have to stop shrugging and accepting this as normal simply because someone calls it comedy.

For offensive cyber attacks. Have you ever wanted to take over Russia or something similar? I hear closed A.I. say it is pretty easy. :P

Ich habe ChatGPT Pro* (Edit: Plus). Warum? Ja, es kostet Geld. Aber dafür spart es mir an anderer Stelle so viel Zeit und teilweise sogar direkt Geld, dass es sich für mich quasi von selbst bezahlt.

Ich muss nicht mehr ewig überlegen, wie ich irgendwelche längeren Texte formuliere, komme viel schneller an Informationen und kann Dinge, auf die ich eigentlich überhaupt keinen Bock habe, innerhalb weniger Minuten erledigen.

Bestes Beispiel sind irgendwelche Konflikte mit Firmen. Natürlich könnte ich den ganzen Schriftverkehr auch selbst machen. Aber dann sitze ich teilweise Stunden da, formuliere Mails, suche irgendwelche Informationen zusammen, antworte wieder auf deren Antwort usw. Und bei manchen Sachen würde ich irgendwann einfach sagen: Scheiß drauf, meine Lebenszeit ist mir das nicht wert.
Mit ChatGPT werfe ich den gesamten Sachverhalt rein, gebe ihm den bisherigen Schriftverkehr und lasse mir daraus eine vernünftige Antwort formulieren. Ein paar Minuten später ist das Ding erledigt.

Allein dieses Jahr hatte ich einen Konflikt mit einer Autovermietung, die mich meiner Meinung nach ziemlich über den Tisch ziehen wollte. Vor Ort konnte ich absolut nichts dagegen machen. Im Nachhinein habe ich das Ganze mit ChatGPT aufgearbeitet und hatte innerhalb von zwei Stunden 200 € zurück.

Und das ist nur ein Beispiel.

Für mich ist der größte Vorteil deshalb gar nicht unbedingt, dass ChatGPT Dinge kann, die ich selbst nicht könnte. Sondern dass es mir Arbeit abnimmt, die ich selbst machen könnte, für die ich aber ein Vielfaches der Zeit brauchen würde.

Und genau dafür bezahle ich gerne: Ich kaufe mir damit im Endeffekt Lebenszeit zurück.

Und nein, ich vertraue nicht blind auf Information die ich bekomme. Wenn es wichtig ist, prüfe ich immer die Quellen. Und nein, ich nutze es auch nicht um mit Menschen zu schreiben. Ich chatte gerne, das ist keine Arbeit die ich mir abnehmen lassen möchte.

Die sind schön. Die sind lebendig. Die strahlen gute Laune aus. Die werten die sonst eher triste Umgebung auf.

Was anderes tut eine Regenbogen-Bank nicht.

Und selbst wenn es politisch wird: Die tut nichts anderes als an die Menschlichkeit erinnern.

Nur sehr aggressive Kampf-Heten machen so eine Bank kaputt.

(Kampf-Hete = das steht für eine Person die (aggressiv, auch druck-ausübend; aber auch "die Macht der Mehrheit" zweckentfremdet) sich Hetero-normativ verhält oder dies erzwingt.)

I think the biggest surprise of GTA VI is going to be the reveal of Online 2P Story Mode Co-Op. Hear me out.

GTA SA had it, iirc as a free-roam feature. Rudimentary and Limited but implemented nonetheless. I do not think it has been done since. We know how R* works. They flesh out these years old mechanics and implement in future games where it narratively makes sense. GTA VI seems like the culmination of over 2 decades of work. This is the perfect opportunity for such a mechanic to really work.

• Several areas in the Extended Look were cut where there was no need to, if it is just single player.
• Forbes has released a report saying, ‘GTAVI Online’ is not expected for 1-2 years.
• Rockstar themselves have also said that in this game they have focused more on variety and replayability.
• The Relationship and Crime Report Mechanics.
• Their core audience(the ones who were there since the beginning )are now 30 years+ and this might be their last GTA for a while (blame adulting)
• The World of Leonida has become more grounded. You cannot move around the city like a god, they said.

Instead of causing chaos in the city, 2 player campaign and open world will provide the opportunity to bring that chaos to the living room. Now, tell me that doesn’t sound like GTA.

•Throw in Cross-Platform player matching

Local Co-Op at this scale, is difficult. But Online, ooh i can see so many possibilities.

What are your thoughts ?

• You should know that BDMS controls over 60 private hospitals. Some big ones are Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej Hospital, Phyathai Hospital, Paolo Hospital, and BNH.
• One notable exception is Bamrungrad that is not yet bought despite multiple serious attempts by BDMS. Another exception is MedPark.
• BDMS started Bangkok Hospital about 50 years ago before slowly acquiring all these private hospitals.
• Medical record maybe shared between the hospitals. That may not be a good thing for medical insurance and pre-existing conditions.
• Both patients and doctors can be squeezed which such controlling monopoly. If a doctor is blacklisted by BDMS for whatever reason, they will have a very hard time finding work in the private sector.

If heroes like Tracer, Genji, Torbjorn, or even Winston were released today with their current balance, people would call them broken.

Tracer: Has an omnidirectional movement ability with 3 second cooldown and multiple charges, and get out of jail free ability, and an instakill ultimate every fight.

Genji: Insane movement with a near instant one shot combo, a deflect that lasts forever where he takes no damage, and an ultimate that can guarantee a pick.

Torbjorn: Small hitbox with armor, spam damage that can two tap, an ability that gives him speed boost, fire rate buff, and more health. A turret that has 250hp that he can repair, and an ultimate with no counter play once it’s on the ground.

I personally love this name, it feels very feminine and timeless, however everytime i mention it to anyone they don’t like it and think it’s odd. Let me know your opinion 😊

They don't want mail in voting and they don't want voting in person. Why else would they be closing polling stations and stopping mail in voting? If the loved democracy would be making voting easier so all Americans could vote instead of none of them.
