Ah, we were taught to avoid the NIV as it was like the Merrium-Webster of translation; a bit more adapted for the modern Pentecost, so obviously it would be lenient compared to traditional translations.

You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.
He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.
I have personally yelled, “Fuck off! No means no you fucking creep!” at the top of my lungs in a crowded bar. It was genuine, but over the top so every other person would turn and see them, ruining their chances of “picking up” at that establishment, forcing them to leave.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, yeah I’m fine. That guy just needed to learn a fucking lesson.”
That does work too, but not on the ones that put shit on you and demand payment, usually operating as 2+. Their tactic is intimidation and drama—playing the victim to you—but it can not be beaten if you’re playing the role of a happy idiot, providing random or exact opposite behaviour to what they’re attempting.
Scammers abroad: Troll with randomness. Laugh at inappropriate times. Nod at them while making the eating food gesture. Randomly start pointing down a street like you’re trying to give directions but just shrug. Pick a random sports team name and say, “Gooooo EAGLES!” while nodding and dancing. Basically pick some random thing, pretend they said it, and you’re going along with it.
If they’re pointing to friendship braclets, you say “9 o’clock.” even though it’s 1:30. If they keep doing it, you just laugh, nod, and clap.
My favourite is pretending I’m deaf and making up signing. When they start gesturing, I repeat the gesture in shock. When they nod, I act disgusted like they’re sick in the head.
They will very quickly move on since you’re a waste of time. The more awkward you make it, the better, especially if you’re drawing looks from others.
I think it’s worse here.
“The grass is blue.”
“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”
“Oh.”
Lemmy
“The grass is blue.”
“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”
“Bro, your own source says it’s the chemicals in grass that make it green LOL.”
“That’s correct.”
“So you think just because it appears green from the chemicals, it’s green?”
“Yes. It’s certainly not blue.”
“Actually without the chemicals it would be translucent which would be reflective of the sky, making it blue like how the ocean does.”
“Sure. Except there’s chemicals that make it green instead.”
“I don’t see how you’re not understanding how stupid that is. It’s not the grass that’s green.”
“And in your analogy it’s not the grass that’s blue.”
“You clearly don’t understand science and I pity you. I won’t waste any more of my time. Good day, sir.”

Spain’s one of my fav circuits, especially after the last chicane got opened up again. And at the moment, rain may be in the mix on Sunday. Spicy.
Correct. And the body will continue attempting to throw up so long as it continues experiencing the symptoms of being poisoned. It has nothing to do about an empty stomach, if it still thinks the body has ingested something, it will keep purging.
This is the whole premise of motion and sea sickness, the body thinking it’s poisoned. In the case of alcohol, it actually is.
I’ve cleaned my shoes ≠ His shoes are clean now.
The only thing linking the two statements are lines drawn from the shows, not language.
But with arms that short and legs so long, I get his expression of great accomplishment.
There isn’t one. At least one that you have a say in. Your purpose is to be a part of nature as you always have and always will be. Your purpose right now is to conduct yourself as you are, since that’s how nature made you to be. You will die, as nature has purposed. You will be re-used as nature has purposed. You will never again be in the natural state you are currently in, but you will always be a part of nature.
Reflect frequently upon the instability of things, and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work; it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent.
The only constant is nature. If it has a purpose, you have found yours.
Very often replying “use function blabla() and such snd so” very detailed instructions while this suggested function just doesn’t exist at all in certain language asked fo
I’ve noticed this a lot too—especially for M. But even though it makes up a function, it sometimes inspires a more optimised idea/method that can be more flexible for future datasets.
But most times it starts to massacre things and disregard prompted parameters or even producing an identical suggestion immediately after being told not to, why not to, and reconfirming original parameters of the query.
Some times punching in the same prompts five times for five iterations produces completely different results, but one may be on the right track and I can code the rest. It helps to set it’s personality first, so it’s sharing ideas it’s seen out there, rather than trying to please.
At the least, it’s a big time saver. Gone are the days where I get a few days spare to work on solving a complex problem through trial and discovery, so it’s an excellent tool for reducing testing time and speeding up the route to an optimised method.
Never heard of 'em. Good thing we don’t have things in place where some random country can block the rest of them.
Yeah. Death doesn’t bother me since it’s fate. Knowing when would be handy for time management and something I could leverage. It’d be great to party at my own funeral too.

That’s actually a pretty good analogy.
I think more like discovering making fire or something. 90% of all the energy burnt is people worshipping it as it blazes away, never actually fulfilling any practical use except being marvelous to be around.
But once the forest is all chopped down, people are forced to understand fire and realise a couple small logs in a contained place was all they needed to have it be incredibly effective.
Oh, but that’s too hard. It’s magic right now. All hail the AI bonfire!
Yeah, but American “liberals” aren’t actually liberals in any way. They’re just conservative narcissists inappropriately using that label to get away with very non-liberalism shit that ironically oppresses people’s freedoms for the sake getting/maintaining what they want.
I am so over hearing about AI. It’s getting to the point that I can assume anyone dropping the term at work is an idiot that hasn’t actually used or utilised it.
It’s this LLM phase. It’s super cool and a big jump in AI, but it’s honestly not that good. It’s a handy tool and one you need to heavily scrutinise beyond basic tasks. Businesses that jumped on it are now seeing the negative effects of thinking it was magic from the future that does everything. The truth is, it’s stupid and people need to learn about it, understand it, and be trained in how to use it before it can be effective. It is a tool, not a solution—at least for now anyways.
I’m good with warning labels, so long as I can take most of them off. You know the ones, they make you yearn for the backstory, but also make you depressed every time you see it. Like this one. Many people would know things surrounding fire are hot. Plenty would’ve unintentionally touched it, “Fuck! Ow. Duh.” and hope no one saw. But someone had a Skinner moment, “No! It’s the manufacturer that’s wrong. Where’s a lawyer?!”
I feel that. Every time I need to upgrade a PC part, it’s like going back to the town I grew up in, but 50 years have passed.
