Misread that as "my own mortality", and thought he was poking the bear, so to speak.

Fortunately, his power is also limited by the amount of time he has left. So, hypothetically speaking, if anyone wants to... finish his term early, it would certainly constrain his power.

At least around me, I feel like the drive-thru is often noticeably slower than parking and going inside. The last time I got McDonald's at the drive-thru, I was waiting for over a half hour to get my order. To make it worse, I was stuck in the inner lane, so I couldn't even say "fuck it" and drive off until I was third in line. At that point, I had spent a good 25 minutes waiting, so the sunk cost fallacy kicked in and I waited some more. When I got to the window to pick up my order, it wasn't even warm.

I don't get fast food as much anymore, but when I do, I order through the app and go inside to pick it up. At least then it doesn't feel like I'm stuck in gridlocked traffic.

That is a great movie. Every bit of it is true to the real events of his life. I recommend that cinematic masterpiece to everyone.

Yes, but the specific type of irony that this situation fits the definition of does not come from whether or not the tool they used worked for the intended purpose. The irony comes from the fact that they are relying on the output from LLM-generated content (ISBN checksum calculator) to determine the reliability of other LLM-generated content (hallucinated ISBN numbers).

Irony is a word that has a somewhat vague meaning and is often interpreted differently. If the tool they used did not work as intended and flagged a bunch of real ISBNs as being AI generated, the situation would (I think) be more ironic. They are still using AI to try and police AI, but with the additional layer of the outcome being the opposite of their intention.

Water is wet. When it gets on things, it makes them wet until the water is gone. When the water is gone, the wetness is gone. The water was the wetness.

I am a millennial and grew up in the time of the family computer being the one computer in the house. My father had an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98 on it, which he replaced some time around 2001/2 (it was a beast of a laptop for its time, but was from before track pads were a thing, so it had the red nub as the built-in mouse). When he replaced it, he let me have the old Thinkpad.

When he was showing me all the cool game demos he collected from mail-in floppys, one of them was for Duke Nukem 3D. It had the entire LA Meltdown part of the game on it. I remember him going into the adult theater, turning to me, and saying, "check this out". He pressed the space bar, Duke whipped out a few dollars, and said, "shake it baby". I didn't understand why a few dollars and a one-liner from an overgrown Bart Simpson would cause a woman to bounce her boobs around, but I think I showed every friend I had those pixelated nipple tassels.

It may have been the first sexualized breasts I had seen in my entire life.

Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7's immediately. I don't think I'll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.

I think the person you are replying to may have been trying to point out the irony of the Americans who voted for Trump because they don't want the state spending money on its poor citizens, when they turn a blind eye to the state investing heavily in private industry.

It's Ohio.

The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard "MAGA" merch is seeing "TRUMP 2028" merch. It's disturbing how many of those I've seen around since the last US election.

There's an n-word that Republicans tend to use more than other people. However, it is in terrible taste to use it.

Looks like the guy from Eraserhead if he was dropped a bunch as a baby
