Yes, Pudge, that's exactly how you pronounce it. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch

@Justice_099 @mhgthy_ @Provokethoughtz Lolol love when they give up because they have no answer but try to pretend they won. It's okay, we know you're 12.

@mhgthy_ @Provokethoughtz I am not looking to destroy you. You already seem insecure. I made a comment without getting brutal. I suggest you let it go.

@Bunny14734421 @KOhtobide @hell_line0 I believe in Catholic circles, Mary herself was the immaculate conception, which was required for her to be able to become pregnant as a virgin. I'm not Catholic tho, so I imagine a real one can explain the belief better than I can.

@KOhtobide @hell_line0 I’m so curious what you mean here

DOCTOR: When was your last period? ME: They’re regular. Next one should be next week. DOCTOR: Are you on birth control? ME: No. DOCTOR: Are you pregnant? ME: Absolutely not. DOCTOR: How do you know? ME: Haven’t had sex in years.. DOCTOR: Are you sure? ME: Unless immaculate conception made a surprise comeback, yes. I’m sure.

@kwlibertas @NAM37 @YourAnonNews Whatever happened to "it takes a village"???

@NAM37 @YourAnonNews "Take care of your own children" is a great thing. What's not great is subsidizing outsourcing the care of children so that mothers can girl boss it and further drive consumerism and inflate the tax base.

Leftists actually do shit that republican constituents only fantasize about; they take on the establishment.

@thathawksgirl @mgmjets As a Seattle native Seahawks fan with a Jets fan for a father, the laugh I laughed!

@mgmjets Even if you were right, I’d still choose that over being a Jets fan any day. 😌 But you’re just saying that cause you’re a Jets fan. Seeing us enjoying our good season bothers you cause don’t know what it’s like to have a good season.

Seriously, WA/PNW people deserve to know this. I have no words. I've watched EVERY World Cup game so far. Brazilian announcers talk about the game or the stadium’s location… general stuff. When the game is in SEATTLE they ALWAYS mention the Seahawks, they've also mentioned the Sounders and they ALWAYS praise the city of Seattle. 🤩 Sometimes they even mention Seattle when they're somewhere else (yesterday they were in LA/SoFi and mentioned how they missed Seattle, the city itself, and how great the stadium in Seattle is). I SWEAR! If I weren't a Hawks fan I'd be so pissed off 😂🤣

@ifindmidwits @fuckyouiquit Because we didn't have daddy's money to buy pre existing companies with?

@fuckyouiquit I find it funny you guys talk like you're so much smarter than him and yet I don't see your rocket company. Or tunnel boring company. Or electric car company. Or Artificial intelligence company.

This is old. Now one person has more wealth than the bottom 46% of the world’s population combined. 3.8 billion people.

@ISerielli44282 @ok6ixx Before they gave us the option to close a malfunctioning kiosk with a digital screen, we used to have a laminated "out of order" sign that took up the entire turned-off screen. People would TAKE IT OFF THE SCREEN, SCAN THEIR ITEMS, THEN CALL AN EMPLOYEE TO SAY IT WASN'T WORKING.

@ok6ixx When i worked at target, we had a self checkout that was down. There was a sticky note on it that said such. Every time someone tried to use it, I put another stickey note on it. I ended up with 11 sticky notes on it before my manager said I had to stop

I am going to a self-service checkout in the shop. I can see that the screen says it is for cards only. In addition, there is a sign plastered to the machine saying the same. Employee: "Just to let you know: that's card only." Me: "Okay." (I put my goods down. He is still looking at me, so I look up.) Employee: "You won't be able to use cash." Me: "...I know; it's alright. I have a card on me." Employee: "Sorry. You'd be surprised how many people will try to pay in cash despite all the warnings." Me: "Really?" Employee: "Yeah, it happens all the time." I scan my first item. The machine immediately says in a loud voice: This till will only accept cards. Do you wish to continue? I stare at the employee, who walks off, laughing. My faith in humanity went down that day.

@Spencer_Gray @Semkay1358 @Forty1_0 Then why don't they?

@Semkay1358 @Forty1_0 You think a trillion dollars worth of datacenter build out is affordable to the companies but some minor desalination is too expensive?

yes!! yes yes yes!! we should run saltwater through every ai data center!! right now!!

@ok6ixx from security at the grocery store next door, letting me know someone had brought it in and they had it. Everything was still in it, they'd just pulled the Tile, got my contact info, and put it back. That area is known for shoplifters and drug addicts, so I was SHOCKED. 2/2

@ok6ixx One day, I dropped my wallet along the walk to the bus from my work. I have a Tile tracker inside, and when I got home, I got a notification that the tracker had been scanned. I frantically called my work to ask someone to go look for it, and as I was doing so, I got a text 1/2

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out. Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything. The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found. I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about. I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left." I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message. I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet." Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you? I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

@fuckyouiquit @lindayaX @NYCMayor So scary for rich people to still be obscenely rich but also have to contribute. So, so scawwy.

You should visit an oncology wing of a children's hospital. Take a visit to a school shooting memorial. Hell, spend a day waiting in line at DES to wait and hear if you'll qualify to afford groceries this month. But a luxury tax on a second home worth more than $5M is "the scariest thing" you've ever seen?

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

@ElSlug @MigsOnThePerc @SwearingSpider4 @AverageLiberal7 @dickclucas Given you're the one who brought it up, I think you're the one who cares

It’s disturbing watching a politician specifically name a private citizen that is targeted by a policy.

@joshsideris @AL52808582 @jenyj05 @aziz0nomics Maybe when anti-monopoly laws are actually enforced, but otherwise big business just buys out small business and keeps on fixing prices.

@shadykit_ @AL52808582 @jenyj05 @aziz0nomics Record profits attract entrepreneurs who want a taste of those profits. Entrepreneurs build businesses that must compete on cost and quality. You will not only end up with lower prices, you will end up with better stuff.

This is maybe the worst corporate messaging I've ever seen in my life.

@joshsideris @AL52808582 @jenyj05 @aziz0nomics Nothing will be cheaper, because the people at the top are too greedy to drop prices. They want record profits, and that doesn't come with dropping prices.

@AL52808582 @jenyj05 @aziz0nomics If an app can't do your work, then you have nothing to worry about. Carry on. Let the companies who use AI fail and get replaced with ones that use human labor. If an app CAN do your work, you may lose your job and may even make less money. But everything will be cheaper.

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth. Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product. This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

@SheilaValenti @TunesOnX @kenklippenstein Why do you think our hands are full in the Middle East? It's BECAUSE they want a distraction from this.

Couldn’t agree more. If we were convicted of sexual crimes with minors our face would be posted at the police dept. Minors is the operative word here. So what happened to all the molestation between priests and minors? And why did the house vote against transparency? You’re right about it mimicking Epstein Island but with our hands full in the Middle East the timing might be off. Circle back.

House votes 357-65 to block release of congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

@Extraevin @ibrand @Crypto_Bllxd @HedgieMarkets No, he's saying pay it for the 16 months until it's "paid off" and then sell it. But since you're renting, not owning, you're never "paying it off", you have to return it to the company.

@ibrand @Crypto_Bllxd @HedgieMarkets He's saying to not take the subscription and instead buy the laptop using credit, how did you misread that?

🦔 HP launched a gaming laptop subscription where you pay monthly but never own the hardware. The high-end option is $130/month for an RTX 5080 Omen Max 16. That same laptop costs $2,110 to buy outright, meaning you'd pay the full price in about 16 months but still own nothing. If you cancel after the first month, you face hefty fees. Canceling the top-tier subscription in month two costs $1,430 plus you have to return the laptop. You can only cancel for free after 13 months, by which point you've paid $1,690 and still have no laptop. HP's justification: "The traditional upgrade cycle keeps most gamers perpetually one step behind. But with access to a new laptop every year, your subscription breaks that cycle completely." My Take This feels like the logical endpoint of the subscription economy. You pay forever, you own nothing, and the company frames it as doing you a favor. HP is betting that people are so conditioned to monthly payments that they won't do the math showing they'd pay full price in 16 months and keep paying after that. Memory chip prices are up 60% because data centers are consuming everything. Hardware costs are rising. And now HP is using the affordability crisis to push a model where you never build equity in anything you use. We've seen this with software, streaming, cars, and now gaming hardware. The pitch is always about flexibility and staying current. The reality is you're perpetually renting your life from companies that figured out recurring revenue beats selling you something once. At least when you finance a laptop you eventually own it. I don't know how we got to a place where "you will own nothing" stopped being a dystopian warning and became a business model. Hedgie🤗
