David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: Ok, so you’ve spent your career television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems…
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: … Or saying…
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: … Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don’t think AI can challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you’re trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you’re stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I’d rather put a gun in my mouth.
Girl on the left looks like she’ll put up with a lot more bullshit from her employer, though. Lot of shitty managers out there that love an applicant with no self respect.

This is a known transphobe, but hot damn he makes us sound cool as hell here
I was wondering if “Albiter” should have been “Arbiter” for the same reason. As far as I can tell, the former is just a random surname; so, unless that was the main character’s name or the name of the lab it wouldn’t make much sense.
Good girls use properly encrypted communication methods when having subpoena-worthy conversations
Who doesn’t?
Or sometimes none at all
Edit Sheeran has historically chosen not to take sides on political issues. Recently he dropped Macklemore from some tour dates under pressure from billionaire Robert Kraft, who owns an arena he’s booked at due to Macklemore’s vocal opposition to Israel’s genocidal actions in Palestine.
Ed Sheeran is influential enough that choosing to speak out would be beneficial towards raising awareness about the issue. Even though he has the platform to help people by speaking up about important issues, he chooses not to. Even though he has hundreds of millions of dollars and could easily afford get a few dates cancelled just to make a statement he chooses not to. Most likely because he is a straight, white, wealthy, well-connected man who doesn’t have to worry about the threat of oppression and would rather stay silent than risk his ability to make even more millions of dollars.
Choosing not to take a side in the face of oppression is choosing the side of oppressor
Never understood why I hated button downs so much until my egg cracked. I just figured my hatred of ties was due to the fact that they literally just strangle your neck all day.
You’d think, but it never ceases to amaze me to see how many people are still on that cesspool of a platform.
I use bar soap and it doesn’t get things nearly sudsy enough to do this. Maybe foaming hand soap would be easier.

Wallace: “Man, these chicken nuggets is right, yo. Man, whoever invented these, yo, he off the hook.”
Deangelo: “You’re absolutely right! The Chicken McNugget® is a core feature of the McDonald’s® menu and has provided a wealth of shareholder value since it’s inception in 1979. They’re not just tasty — they’re a profitable staple of any McDonald’s® franchise!”
A non-sequitur just doesn’t relate back to the current topic of discussion in any meaningful way.
An Escher sentence, as I understand it, sounds valid but doesn’t actually have any real meaning when you actually parse through it. A non-sequitur still has meaning as a sentence, it’s just off-topic.
If aliens ever visit they will see this image and immediately glass the entire surface of the planet.
but rather needs this snippet to “prove” that the Webis Trigger Warning Corpus 2022 is at least partially flawed.
What is the flaw you’re hoping to prove? The only mention of gay panic in that document is listing it as an example of homophobia, which is accurate.
Also, have you checked the references section on the Wikipedia article you linked? Seems like a good place to start.
No, no, I’m definitely cis. Ignore the force-fem, pegging, and chastity kinks, those are definitely unrelated to any gender identity issues I’ve been repressing for most of my life.
Where’s walking into the store, demanding to speak to the owner, looking him straight in the eye and giving him a firm handshake while insisting you’ll be the best employee he’s ever hired?
Just kidding, they’ll just look at you weird and tell you to check the F tier platforms.
Me after itching my leg and not itching the other leg to keep them balanced.
You’re telling me this silent expert tactician wasn’t autistic.
Never thought about it that way, but I guess all of the player characters in StarCraft and Brood War were probably autistic, too.
I reject my God-given form and shall undergo a blasphemous and glorious transfiguration that shall rock the very foundations of this material world to their core.

The ok cops don’t stick around or get pushed out. The only ok cop I know lasted about 8 months on the force before deciding it was all rotten to the core. He’s a firefighter now.
Same game and same thought. You mean I get to be a multimillionaire farmer girl who’s dating every single eligible bachelor(ette) in the valley simultaneously? I’d give my million dollar prize back if it means I get to stay.
Why are you describing my life in first person?

Why not just ask him how he wants to be remembered?

mmrrrow :3
I have a cis friend that had some health issue come up, the medication he needed effectively drops his testosterone to zero. When he first told me, my first thought was “that’s fucking awesome,” then he was like “so I’ll need to start doing testosterone replacement therapy” and I was thought “oh that’s fucking awful.”
Still cis tho /s
Heterosexual intercourse in the missionary position between two monogamously married individuals solely for the purpose of procreation 🤢🤢🤢
Wish I could’ve had a true slut phase. I would’ve been a fucking problem as a cis girl
If we could all agree on that, he wouldn’t have been elected in the first place
