So close to getting the point, yet...
Calling words of Jesus "Liberal talking points" doesn't sound like difference in interpretation, it sounds exactly "too woke".
Also, you really need to twist your brain to find a way to interpret it "differently".
And I'm interested, how do they interpret it then exactly?
You did realize that once you would post that, someone would have to make it, right? And you said it anyway!
This is why we can't have nice things
Well, whatever excuse makes you comfortable.
I don't like defeatist attitude, no matter how many times I've felt that it's impossible to get the required change to happen and no matter seeing the whole worlds carbon and other releases only increase when beautiful speeches are kept about reaching zero-carbon by so-and-so, I know that the only way to guarantee the chance won't happen is for all of us to start believing it can't be done and to stop caring.
Besides, YOU were never going to save the climate. Nobody will or can, not alone. It's only with each others that we can do it.
I get it! Make-belief! Luckily Mr. Hilter slid in and took care of it all by fracturing coalplutonial power for all of us, now let's all have some hooch!!
I don't know, and I have no idea if they have legitimate right to do what they have done (OpenAI that is), but I've heard of asking GPT to print out article at URL mentioned as a way to get around pay walls before - the once I saw a guy try to demonstrate it (it wasn't the actual topic of his vid), it didn't work

Seriously though, good post.
No, one equal sign is an assignment. But assigning your own values to const... err, facts, will cause erratic and undefined behaviour.
Wait, what? Does VirtualBox license say you can't use it for work if you don't pay for a license? Uh, if that's true then I'm saddened greatly and have to agree that it's not Free Software anymore
You even subscribe to life
And when do you think this happened? That's just silly... no, stupid. Being born is not subscribing to anything and there's no company/entity whose services you depend on.
Fuck the *RENTAL* of software.
This is exactly why I told Adobe to take a long walk off a short pier....there's plenty of equal if not better alternatives out there for your shit.
+1. Want to see millions poured into making VirtualöBox a full-featured drop-in replacement? Because this is how you get big companies dumping money into making it possible to dump you.
Uh, I don't see that as necessary. VirtualBox has become better today than VMWare was when I first tried it. Admittedly there has been years in between, but it's been achieved.
But yeah, I would like that to happen, but only with terms that would not give the money dumpers any tiny bit of control over it. But I don't think it's likely to happen.
But how is any of this relevant to your parent comment. When I look your comment quoted above, and above it the comment you replied to, do you feel that you are on same subject?
I don't know, but I wonder if they could be suffering from feelings of having lost something important - somewhere I remember hearing that something like that could lead to mental health issues, and those are known to cause other problems, overeating, anorexia, drug addiction, gambling, and such'n'such. But what could have they lost?
I mean, I've never heard of Native American tribes of having obesity problems in the olden days (and I'm not talking of individual cases, some fat people are bound to exist in pretty much any culture that doesn't physically prevent people from eating too much). It hints to, perhaps, something major having changed in their lives between now and then.
But I guess that doesn't fit the narrative of everything bad in your life being the result of bad choices you made, and therefore your own fault for being weak, and the fairytale that we are in total control of our choices, which are totally isolated from reality outside us and can't be affected by it unless we choose to let it - and that everything where someone is doing worse than the person feeding the narrative is all completely and utterly their own fault. But then when something goes wrong with their life, and they feel it wouldn't have happened if X didn't Y, there will be a bunch of people telling that X did Y to me too, and it didn't ruin my life, so it must be the fault of your weakness and poor choices - and when that happens, I would love to be there and laugh
I can certainly believe that about Texas. It seems they have an obsession to make sure everyone know how big everything is in Texas... damn it if I could just put a name to an obsession like that
And for all the angry Texans reading this and getting triggered: Relax, It's a joke - and if it really did trigger you, it might just be a joke on you
Forgive me; this is the third reply from me to the same comment, but I don't think I fully realized what you were actually saying the first time I wrote a reply (the long one), and the second time I hadn't thought it through and realized only a minute later something I should had said as well:
Not only is the solution for the problem of minimum portion size in so many places being too big, not about regulating what you can and can't choose to eat, the solution actually gives you more options. Is it not your argument that you should have the right to more, not less, choices?
I'm sure the so called restaurants would fight it though - after all, you get more money from each portion sold when there's no smaller portions available. Tough.
And let's talk about children and youth. Not only does obesity issues often begin in childhood, it's often not even because of parents feeding them crap. I've seen photos of American school lunches, and while I'm sure there are schools with better, healthier lunches, I understand from what I've heard, read and seen that what I've seen is pretty close to most common case.
I was freaked - parents let children eat this? They are fighting CRT where no such exists, not even if you accept their definition of CRT - but they're not fighting this? They fight against sex education, which is not only proven to result in less teenage pregnancies but also less teenagers trying sex too early and with too little knowledge (no matter how much they preach their kids to not have sex - and naturally most often only in case their child is a girl) because of peer pressure, yet they don't fight this.
Let me explain. Pizza is not an unhealthy food. And I'm talking about proper Italian pizza, it's not unhealthy unless you eat it in excess. But the unholy disc I saw in photo that was referred to as pizza was nothing of the kind. First, it wasn't really the whole disc, just a slice, but it was way too large! On top of that, it was thick as hell - I guess what is called a "pan pizza", but I refuse to call that abomination any kind of pizza at all. Half the thickness was bread and half was "fillings" - I put it in quotes, because from what I could see there was very little, if any, tomato sauce on it and most of the filling was just cheese. Correction, American Cheese. It seemed to have a little bit of something that would probably be described as "meat-like ingredients" in the ingredient list of a suspiciously cheap sausage sold in some market in my country - and it means basically ground up organs/guts and maybe a small percentage of actual meat in the mix.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, that digestive track nightmare was covered in grease. Yuck, absolutely disgusting, not to mention *unhealthy as fsck*. Come on, just admit it already, the US obesity problem is NOT the result of only bad eating choices - I mean, sure, you can blame the children for choosing to eat that shit, but I wont be giving much worth to such argument. I don't think I could eat such slice if I was willing to try, which I'm not. Not after losing the little obesity (I'm talking 100kg's, not over 200) anyway, my stomach gets full from way less now.
