    Actually the die mart was my very closest convenience store. Nice guy from Nepal was always behind the counter. Homeless guy would sleep behind the trash cans on the side. Once, he overdosed at the bus stop across the street. Although, the signs lights were out before this happened, maybe there’s more to the name than we realize…









  • Does everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?

    Per The San Francisco Standard

    Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”

    Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.


  • Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like anything produced by AI should be somehow watermarked at the source. At this point there’s only a handful of companies. It wouldn’t be too hard to have them all insert something into the final product that is easily identifiable. Something like a microscopic signature in a corner, with model info and date produced…idk. Not anything that ruins the image, but something that can be seen by anyone, if looked for.

    If nothing else there should be a large push to inform the public of telltale features to look for (i.e. too many appendages) to help them determine if it’s created by AI or not. While not fool proof, if it can discount even a portion of the misinformation, imo, it’s worth an effort.

    To me, it seems irresponsible of the companies running the AI to just unleash it upon the world without training us humans to understand what we’re looking at. Letting us see how realistic everything is while letting us know its been produced by AI, at least helps us to comprehend the scope of the matter and adapt to the situation at hand. Esp for those who don’t fully grasp what AI can and cannot do.





  • Everyone I know is saying it too.

    What really stuck out was Putin withdrawing / moving equipment and people, at the same time he’s withdrawing from the nuclear test treaty, all while theyre in a “stalemate” with the Ukraine. I know it’s a testing treaty that even America was never in, but something seems fishy, and no one seems to really be talking about it.

    Isreals war is pretty obvious on its face, (You see who’s throwing punches at whom, in the news) but if Russia nukes Ukraine, it’s going to be a whole other animal.

    Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.

    Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.

    Pretty sure they did us a favor.
