So your comment isn't really about AI hate and more about not understanding hyperbole as slang.

I wish this were true in my experience. Its definitely wrong enough that I have to fact-check results. And when the AI answer is correct it's often adding in context that is incorrect or assumed.

This has led to more than a few uncomfortable conversations with people who live in this "reality" you speak of, where the oracle box spews only truth and that I'm weird for denying it.

Better delete your account just to be sure. Then throw your browsing device in an active MRI.

But do you understand it? Do you believe it?

Have to sit through ads just to see it's a 90 minute video with next to no context of why I should trust this person with my time. In a era where most info is at best wildly ignorant and at worst maliciously misleading?

Genuinely one of the questions that is coming up more and more in healthcare is trying to figure out what cancer is okay to just live with. As in, the treatment would be more of an impact on quality of life vs letting the cancer develop slower than the person would die of other causes.

This is especially becoming more of an issue as we get much better at detecting cancer.

Was out for a week for work. Got back to my front door and got attacked by a nest that had been made while I was out. I relished nuking them.

I've been stung by wasps dozens of times. Never been stung by a bee. I say hello to bumble bees. Wasps get none such niceties from me. Except for tarantula hawks. Those guys are way too fucking big not to doff my hat when in presence.

Adaptive headlights only recently became legal in the US.

A fine point if the people hating on those claimed devotion to Jesus and his teachings, or are you ignoring the whole point of the comic?

What in the fresh dumbassery is this comment? If your dog is shooting your shotgun then you have ROYALLY fucked up. Not kinda fucked up. Not "I dunno guys the situation might be different than we understand."

If your dog shoots me, you have thrown away all avenues of diplomacy. The time for words has ended. WAR. You just declared war.

I have a giant head. I am the reason hat makers say "One size fits most." Most sunglasses hurt to wear.

I second Maui Jim, but those are pricey. Really what youre looking for are decent sunglasses with wide, metal frames and spring hinges at the temples. Then you very carefully and very slowly bend out the end pieces, the metal arms between the lenses and the hinges. It's more difficult than it sounds because you'll likely not bend them straight out at first. They'll be a little tilted on your face. This is why you go real slow, making a lot of tiny adjustments till they feel and look right.

Sunglass shops will do this for you. They have pliers with plastic teeth that dont mark the metal. My Maui Jims were adjusted this way for me. Now when I buy glasses I carefully DIY it.

I wish you luck!

While snorkeling at St John USVI I was following a sea turtle from a distance. It was just such a vibe to watch this thing eating the turtle grass. Then some asshole comes flailing towards the turtle with a gopro on a stick and basically starts poking it. The turtle swam away with the guy chasing it. Pissed me off so much.

I went to a bar that evening and told the bar tender this story. He stopped what he was doing and looked sternly at me. He said in that moment I witnessed the turtle being harassed, if I had swam to shore and gotten some locals to help find a ranger then the dude would have been lucky to just walk away with a large fine and not get his ass kicked by the locals as well. Bartender made me promise to report it if I saw it again.
