The measure should be coupled to a tax increase.

"A new fiscal analysis confirms that a GOP plan to give Arizona police officers the power to arrest migrants will cost the state money and one law enforcement agency estimates that price tag at more than $40 million."

This metaphor is a bit too on the nose.

@GottaLaff Would be pretty sweet if this turns out to be the case.

I thought Sandra Bollocks cried a lot in Gravity. JLop outdoes her with the histrionics in Atlas, however. Holy fuck, can she just stop blubbing for 5 bloody minutes. I hate these movies (does it show). Give me Alien for a strong scifi female lead.

Would "The Old Guard" be considered sci-fi? If so, my vote is for Charlize Theron. She's great in action movies.

@Wen @tiredhorizon @flockofnazguls

I would guess that "Mad Max: Fury Road" would be sci-fi too

Seriously so fucking tired of the "No, it's always been this bad" version of edgelords.

Because things were bad in this past does not mean it was THIS bad.

It seems like a way of fronting as if they have just been oh so much more observant than you, with your narrow little mind, unable to see what's really been going on.

For my money, the most impactful scene in The Great Gatsby is in the denouement where she says “truly, he was a great gatsby” & what’s-his-name retorts: no, Daisy, he was THE great gatsby.”

I still get chills

I just saw an article that said Wall Street killed Red Lobster, not Endless Shrimp, and I could have told you that without knowing any of the facts.

@billyjoebowers

From now on, "Endless Shrimp" is just a euphemism for "private equity" for me.

Ok, I'm not understanding why people want to delete or change their StackOverflow answers so that they contain errors to throw off the LLMs. StackOverflow is a valuable resource for human coders and it's not like we thought we were going to make any money by posting those answers - that was never the point. If LLMs are going to be trained on those answers then I want them to be accurate because it's kind of inevitable at this point.

The ad is mostly hoaky, but a great opportunity for tribal signaling.

Insisting on seeing it in the worst possible light suggests a lack of imagination.

Typical #Google Help Forum thread:

How can I do this on Google?

I don't know, but I want to know!

I want to know too!

Isn't anybody going to answer?

Sure, you do this and this and this.

That doesn't work at all!
