I’m gonna be brutally honest here, as I don’t care about the downvotes, but the amount of insanity and taboo around sexuality on - presumably predominantly American - online forums is indeed hard to bear. Always ready with the negative connotations: skimpy, slutty, cooties, cheating, home-wrecker; don’t even eye your cousin, that’s incest, therefore the worst thing in the world; a young woman loves a much older man, oh, he must have been grooming or coercing her; don’t masturbate or you’ll go blind, hair will grow on your palms… From a European POV, these seem like compulsory figments of messed-up minds. Love, sex - why can’t they just be there? So people can enjoy them? Why must people shit all over everything that brings joy? Even when mentioning these taboos “ironically,” such people perpetuate a culture of prudery and I don’t want it to creep into my own culture.

It’s moronic. Currently, decision makers don’t really understand what to do with AI and how it will realistically evolve in the coming 10-20 years. So it’s getting pushed even into environments with 0-error policies, leading to horrible results and any time savings are completely annihilated by the ensuing error corrections and general troubleshooting. But maybe the latter will just gradually be dropped and customers will be told to just “deal with it,” in the true spirit of enshittification.

Nice.

I have a feeling he’ll be the one to invoke Article 5, accusing Denmark of some “aggression” or another in his completely fucked-up authoritarian style.

First step, be a business. Second step, accept Trump’s dick in your ass. Congratulations, here’s your “get out of jail free” card.

My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of “national security” has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.

Certain stuff, and especially rent, is a lot cheaper in Europe, though.
It was a pretty big shock for us when so many of the Ukrainian refugees that arrived during recent years came in SUVs, and they looked quite new, too. But in Ukraine, one of Europe’s poorest countries by far, cars cost a lot less, too.

“Fassbinder” in German, a quite common last name. So Michael Fassbender means “Michael Cooper.”

Not in this case. She’s… very talented. 😊

This clock isn’t, for example. Ackchually, I never noticed the artifact you’re describing. Might depend on the model you’re using, though. Generally speaking, I’d argue that AI depictions of clocks, as well as of hands, have improved as of recently.

There are better ways to devalue your currency. It’s not such an uncommon thing for countries to do. Why go out of your way to be a dick? This new type of behavior we are observing from US officials just smacks of sheer incompetency and lack of direction on the diplomatic stage.

That’s… a lot better than I thought.

No, no. Until I come and get him.
