To be fair, it would be the only time I’d give that guy my vote.

Don’t worry. We all do.

We should get to vote for which Wealth Hoarder though. Another one from OceanGate is unoriginal.

Not a waste at all. It’s got a lot of backstory needed for the rest of the show. Plus, witches!

The way it was explained to me, praying to a Saint to speak to God on your behalf is like asking a friend to pray for you. You could just pray to God yourself, but for some reason, having more people pray for you is better.

Chances are, it isn’t. The early Catholic Church did a lot of this kind of thing, where they would claim to have a piece of the cross, or a bone of St Peter in a church. It was just to drive tourism into their churches. If you took all the claimed pieces of the cross and assembled them, it would make far more than one cross.

I loved the last episode. It had something a lot of recent Star Wars missed: stakes.

“I’m the king of the world, you piece of shit!”

“Rosebud, you piece of shit.”

Right. Throughout human history, if someone was cast out of a community, they didn’t survive. We’ve been trained through evolution to go along with the tribe because it’s unsafe to question anything and get cast out.

Who has this many friends?

Probably not a lot since Frankenstein is in the public domain.

And don’t get me started on Empire Strikes Back and Yoda

That’s great, but the fact it’s local and private means it can consume my personal data and be a more personal LLM. This just doesn’t hit that mark.

Good point, thanks for calling that out.

Apple Maps was bad, yes. But they had their hand forced. Google started charging for their API (enough to cripple their app), and they had very little time to create one of their own.

That’s not happening here. No one is forcing their hand. If they didn’t release an updated Siri this year, nothing would happen.

Feminists aren’t saying that men are trash. They’re saying women should be equal. Some men hear that and feel attacked, thinking that feminists are calling them trash.

This meme isn’t funny, it just reveals what you think feminist arguments are about. You think they’re about you.

Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

How was this not already banned? It’s like hearing that they just banned punching bus drivers. Congrats and all, but how was that not already a law?

Sometimes you can get therapy covered through health insurance. It’s worth checking, because therapy can be really helpful, even just for having someone to share stresses with. I hope you’re able to find someone!
