We need a mandatory retirement age for federal appointees, fucking immediately.

I’m honestly surprised this doesn’t happen more often than it does, considering how much coffee McD’s sells.

least surprising cause of death ever.

Depends what you’re into

great to see the update!

I remember that case, really tragic. People are absolutely stupid and will believe absolutely anything so long as it confirms their biases even a little bit.

Yeah not to mention do we really need human labor for the jobs she was doing: " I’d work on webpages, branded blogs, online articles, social-media captions, and email-marketing campaigns."

Email marketing campaigns? Social media captions? Branded blogs? You’d think she’d be happy to be free of it.

I imagine the prestige of being able to tell people she was a “professional writer” was worth something to her mentally, but 'cmon…she was a marketing droid. She’s just been replaced by another marketing droid.

In 20 years, they’ll be writing about human trafficking the way we write about the satanic panic today. These weird hysterias have become absolutely emblematic of post WW2 american culture.

Man what do you even do with a kid like that.

yeah Exemplars could get a lot of mileage for sure!

That’s pretty awesome, the black window one in particular.

I have found that many people’s problems in life are in fact caused by their own choices and refusal to find solutions.

helping the only way they could from the shadows

I think we all know how this ends up - ATF coming by to make sure your shotgun barrel isn’t to long OR to short. Gotta goldilocks it.

Yeah i don’t know what the point of this even is? It’d just be visual clutter on the screen and add pretty much nothing to the race

Aww hell yeah! i’ve been waiting for this one. Once it’s been out a few days i intend to upgrade my main rig to it.

I take the approach that the first draft is the rough stone of which the story will, eventually, be hewn. If the first draft is rough, that’s perfectly fine, and if it isn’t awesome, that’s something i can fix in the editing phase. So long as the fundamentals are good and the premise is workable, it’s worth pursuing.

Because AI detectors suck and are the modern day equivalent of dowsing rods?

The sad thing is, they probably did get a bonus, then set about how to further monetize it

yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous. Whoever decided that the start menu, of all things, needed to be encrusted with garbage should have been fired on the spot.
