@babyybeckz Oh well you're young, you don't need to worry about that stuff yet

@mikek_la I do air fried or baked from time to time but deep fried is definitely the default

Chicken ranch poutine for dinner

@Caxapa617 Grok says you're "quirky and chaotic"

I’m not even that crazy

@ScottParkCO @default_friend @AniseNot The fact OP uses so many words but never mentions HFCS or even sugar, much less fiber or protein, makes me suspect she's not exactly a nutritionist

@default_friend @AniseNot Hard to believe a kid getting fat on apples, carrots & cheese. I suspect the snacks in question are being used for motivated social control & involve a lot more calories a lot more often. Kids who do ballet do not get fat.

70% of the kids we spend time with are at least chubby if not overweight & of the not fat kids few have strong muscle tone Recently I can’t help but notice the overweight kids all have mothers who show up to every function with a giant cooler of snacks. They’re usually “healthy” organic, dye free, non-gmo, produce forward snacks, but they’re still giving their kids endless access to snacks I remember very few fat kids when I was a kid. It’s sad. It makes me sad seeing so many fat kids & once the kids are hitting middle school age I start hearing the parents talking about how their kids develop body issues & self consciousness around being chubby. But the parents are so concerned with “not creating body issues” they won’t overtly do anything to address it I have already told my kids if they ever start getting really chubby I will not be concerned with sparing their feelings. My primary objective is their optimum health & vitality. If they get fat we are cutting out the junk & getting into rigorous exercise, but I don’t think they will ever get particularly fat because they are already extremely active kids with good muscle tone

@VisualCap So if you buy something with a cc then pay it off before the end of the month, that's counted here?

@default_friend I can't find the violent porn comment

My new contrarian question is why does everyone say “violent porn”? Do they mean it in the sense that all porn is innately violent? And if not, I am skeptical about how much porn is actually violent vs just distasteful

@maryarchived Are there guys somewhere who do things because that guy does them? Genuinely curious

having zero tattoos is going to become a coveted status signal sooner than we realize

@Megatron_ron This seems staged to me, but I don't know why they would do that For example, Iran doesn't tend to vaporize large targets like that, they tend to use fewer missiles

NEW: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Wall Street Journal reports that after Iran shot down a US fighter jet, Trump yelled at his aides for several hours. He kept repeating: “The Europeans are not helping.” The president repeatedly referenced the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis and Carter’s failed rescue attempt (which involved helicopters and contributed to Carter losing the 1980 election). Trump told advisers something along the lines of: “If you look at what happened with Jimmy Carter…with the helicopters and the hostages, it cost them the election. What a mess.” This historical parallel weighed heavily on him during the F-15E incident.

@Antiwarcom I've seen evidence there are at least a couple false claims here But. Even if they were true, then countries Iran trades with like China will just have to use their own ships

Trump Says US Took Control of Iranian Cargo Ship After US Navy Destroyer ‘Blew a Hole’ in Its Engine Room The president said that US Marines now 'have custody' of the vessel #Iran #IranWar #Trump #USNavy news.antiwar.com/2026/04/19/tru…

@thrialectics Oh we didn't have that when I was growing up

@mikek_la what I'm referring to also known as "bullying" "dominance signaling"

There is nothing more disgusting than witnessing a man acting overtly intrasexually competitively. The only real competitive advantage is the kind of intrinsic security that leads to generosity, good faith, and moral guidance for other men that is grounded in his integrity.

@thrialectics I never heard the term "intrasexually competitive" before ngl

@mikek_la You knew what I meant, goofball!

And to follow up on that: x.com/i/status/20459…

LLMs don't just "predict the next word", their transformer architecture uses attention mechanisms to processes in parallel all potential word pairs in a sequence at the same time, across many layers of abstraction to reason with concepts and meaning

@gausts_pgs @JonathanLigmas @prerat Also, since he blocked me, here's the part of grok's response (volunteered without my asking for it) I wasn't going to post before, since the question seems to concern gausts so much:

@gausts_pgs @JonathanLigmas @prerat He blocked me but for the record notice he never refuted that it is a dumb false cliche to say that AI is "just a next token predictor"

@gausts_pgs @JonathanLigmas @prerat The ad hominems are chef kiss to your stunted ability to learn anything

@hot_cocoa_girl It might be a generational thing, I never saw any bullying growing up at all, now girls are doing it nypost.com/2023/08/18/sch…

Bring back bullying to solve the fertility crisis

@nickwoj98 @amazingmap @Metra Ok fine I don't care that much anyway I haven't been there in like 20 years
