@WhiteHouse Weird. I thought the price was already lowered then I saw that you guys rescinded the last guy’s plan only to turn around and do exactly what he did. Why would you do that? policymed.com/2021/10/biden-…

@tarahtalk I just include that in the LLM’s “Custom instructions.” It’s not perfect, but works better than not doing it.

Does anyone else start their questions to AI by saying, “Please don’t add any fluff or compliments—I just want a direct answer”?

@sentdefender Now I know what type person you are from my short time in. Blue Falcon. Congratulations!

In a now deleted post on the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), a Sailor working on an EA-18G “Growler” Electronic Warfare Aircraft assigned to “The Gray Wolves” of Electromagnetic Attack Squadron 142 (VAQ-142), deployed onboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), can be seen wearing a morale patch which says: Join the U.S. Navy Save the Big Booty Venezuelans!

@EricSpracklen lol. No, he doesn’t. However, he absolutely has the right to speak anything he wishes. No matter how ignorant.

Tim Dillon is literally speaking for all of us.

@RepThomasMassie @SteveBakerUSA I could be wrong, but my gut tells me you’re rotten. I hope I’m wrong, but you could have nuked everything before now, unless you were controlled.

Please follow @SteveBakerUSA if you don’t already. I’ve never seen anyone more committed to searching for the truth. He’s put it all on the line: his reputation, his job… even his life. And he’s up against some powerful forces.

@MattWallace888 I’d like my Plaid in black.

@sentdefender It’s weird the people calling it a war always seem to be the ones rooting for the other side. So strange.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump while speaking to reporters earlier during an event at the White House: “Pete, do you want to give about a three-minute statement on how we're doing in this, as I call it, military operation? People don't like me using the word ‘war,’ so I won't. But the Democrats call it a war.” “They [Democrats] hurt our country, and at a very difficult time, because you know we are at, as they would say, a war. They call it a war. I call it a military operation. A very successful one. Successful like nobody's ever seen before.”

@ShawnRyan762 Ok…

“I mean, I really think we are there because the military industrial complex saw an opportunity. They saw, hey, America got attacked, and we have permission from the American people right now to go to war as long as we can tie it to terrorism. And so I think they took that and they lied about the intelligence. And then the next thing you know we’re in Iraq. I think there might have been some, I think at the mid levels, I think there were some idealistic people there who thought that we could spread democracy through the barrel of a gun.” @joekent16jan19

May he rest in peace. It’s sad he was part of one of the most sinister plots to overthrow a government in human history, but it really doesn’t matter to him now. Would be cool to just move on, but once you mess with the bull, you’re undoubtedly going to get the horns. And back and forth we’ll go until nothing’s left.

This is the kind of stuff Trump does that makes people not just oppose him but hate him. There was no need to say anything.

@ShawnRyan762 This is the most infantile argument I’ve ever seen of people wanting to “suppress” another people in my life. Think deeper…

“In 1909, Cyrus Scofield wrote a reference Bible and said he was going to translate it into more modern English and give his interpretation of what it means. The Scofield Bible is one man’s interpretation, and it became one of the best-selling Bibles. He took lines like Genesis 12:3 and said this means we have to support Jews in Israel forever. That’s what the Scofield Bible says it means, and that’s what Christian Zionists believe.” @MichaelTLester

Same. I heard one months ago about time travel. The guy Art was interviewing was part of some kind of program where he and some other kids traveled through time and the episode ended when the kid talks about meeting a younger Art Bell when Art was in the Air Force, I think. Blew Art’s mind. I can no longer find that episode. If anyone knows which episode this is and you have a link, please share. That was a classic.

My jam lately has been listening to old episodes of coast to coast am. We really lack something like this in modern times.

@sentdefender And you include one such video in your post? Dang, Man.

Iranian police are increasingly cracking down on individuals who film, document, and post footage and photos of impacts of Israeli and U.S. strikes.

@farmingandJesus Lord Jesus, Please have mercy on us. Thank you for sharing this. I feel utterly broken and lost, but I know He’ll never leave me nor forsake me.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but we have authority in Christ to halt the work of demons and strongholds. We have the full armor of God especially the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. It’s not just a cute saying or a meme , it’s real and spiritual warfare is absolutely real. We ask the Lord to rebuke these demons as the archangel Michael did. He didn’t rebuke them himself he never said “I REBUKE” …he asked the LORD to rebuke them. The enemy seeks to destroy us and was/is a liar from the beginning. Don’t believe him! Dude is a loser on a leash! We are powerless against these things without Jesus Christ. His strength is made perfect in our weakness so call on HIM.

I so like this, but please read what the robot/AI writes so that it keeps the gender of the student and teacher correct. I completely lose interest when people implicitly trust the robot to get things right. I love the direction it was going, but I’m lost when the gender of the student and teacher continually change. It’s the small things…

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning My wife told me not to come I came anyway She said "please just listen and nod" I said "I always listen" She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge" That's how listening works Nice classroom Small chairs I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus My knees touched my chest The teacher introduced herself Shared her identified pronouns I shared my identified adjectives Smart and handsome My wife closed her eyes The teacher had a folder Color-coded tabs I respected the organization She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class" My wife smiled I waited That sentence is never the whole report It's the executive summary before the risk section She said "however" There it is She said he "asks a lot of questions" I said "good" She said "during quiet time" I said "when is quiet time?" She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence" I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?" My wife put her hand on my arm I continued The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own" I said "that's an accurate observation" My wife squeezed harder The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities" I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade." The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard I said "was he right?" She paused She said "that's not the point" I said "it's a little bit the point" My wife stood up Sat back down Compromise The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms" All subjective Not a number on the page I asked how these are graded She said "based on observation" I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?" She said "it's professional judgment" I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them." She looked at my wife My wife said "I'm sorry about him" I said "I'm sitting right here" My wife said "I know" The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate" I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now." Nobody spoke The teacher closed her folder She said "I think we've covered everything" I said "one more thing" She braced herself I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has." The teacher looked at me differently My wife looked at me differently I said "that's all" We left In the car my wife was quiet Then she said "he's turning into you" I said "is that a good thing?" She didn't answer From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?" I looked at my wife She looked out the window I said "yes. It is." He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right" I didn't say anything Neither did my wife Small chairs Color-coded tabs No follow-up items But the kid's going to be fine Sent from my iPhone

@athenaeumbc And, so it is today…

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

@farmingandJesus Lord Jesus, Please help my unbelief, as well. My gosh, I am so screwed up…

I want to punch myself when I know God created the world, healed the blind, and rose Lazarus from the dead, but I somehow spiral into despair at times thinking he can’t heal me. Lord , help my unbelief. What an idiot you have for a daughter. Sheesh.

@farmingandJesus Same.

Can you guys pray for me I’ve been encountering a lot of panic attacks lately and I really try to control it but my nervous system doesn’t know the difference between going to the grocery store and being chased by a serial killer with a chainsaw. I wish God would just heal me so I could be semi normal like I used to be

@MelonieMac Don’t be gone so long. For real.

@HarmeetKDhillon You’re doing great! Keep at it!

Found a couple more targets from yesterday cleaning out my car today. This is warming up at the range with a .22 pew pew from 5 yards, and then my Sig 365 at 7 yards. I was kinda proud of the one I posted yesterday because it was 10 yards. Internet do your thing.

@HarmeetKDhillon Don’t listen to the haters. Keep shooting! You’re doing great!

You people… I’m a woman, cut me some slack….
