Yup, that’s standard. If you’re about three responses in, give up, it’s already lost and incapable of focusing on the requirements. It will also lie to please. There is zero admission of confidence score. You only pick up on the things you know are wrong and considering how often that is, the rest can only be taken with a grain of salt.

When I arrived again in Australia, floods happened again—hm, maybe I’m the problem—anyway! Insurance companies were trying to get out of payments by saying flood damage was covered as a result of flooding from rain. And yes, rain obviously caused the flooding, but the rain occured up on mountains which then flowed down and flooded areas below.

The government regulators got onto it straight away.

The final attempt argument was something like “The insurances cover water coming from above, not below.”

Regulators didn’t have a bar of it. Insurance companies had to do—get this—insurance.

Everyone was happy except for insurance companies and the people that lost their homes and got financially held up for over a year as the insurance companies tried to find any leftover money for payouts because the rest was in funds. Of course.

Aw man, I bet it turns out all along I’m just training AI. Why not? What a valuable asset I am. I bet I’ll end up paying for myself later

Y’all have to use ISP provided modems?

Yep. Look up HRV instead of heart rate.

I mean, it appears to have a respectable amount of engine bay… Maybe a supercharged 6 or LS could squeeze in there and it’d be fine. Still thirsty, but fine.

If I recall correctly, that man is exactly the kind of person they appear to be.

A city I used to live in had a bridge like this in a major inner-city commercial area just outside the CBD. Would cause havoc for commuters because the bridge was for the southern train lines entering the CBD and was on a busy road entering an major arterial.

All the traffic got held up and diverted, the trains couldn’t run until engineers inspected the bridge.

You wouldn’t. It will be quite gutless, even if re-geared, and the steering incredibly washy. Slight uphill will be your nemesis.

My school had one on dirt. The panels were wood and had a hole in it. Finally, one day, we were playing and a kid’s foot went down there and got fucked up. He was like a rockstar coming into school next day with stitches and crutches.

I don’t think you understand that, like always with the same old small minority of vegans that go out there being cruel to people, these posts are reactive to recent poor behaviour. For this reason, it’s unusual for anyone to empathise with these types of people, regardless of ideology, unless you are in defence of their antagonising of others; which is fine, just don’t be surprised by the ongoing discourse not being in favour of that position.

When I was 15, my girlfriend’s mother was appalled that I had no idea who Motley Crue was, but I knew all the other bands she mentioned.

I look back now and imagine it’s like meeting a teenager who knows Green Day and Oasis, but has never heard of Blink 182.

Haha. I’m sure the police knew. He had been arrested a few times for climbing bridges and construction sites around the city. Then get dropped home right by a massive pine tree with a cone on top.

My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

Dogs don’t belong on TV.

a vegan guest and was talking about how their dog “Is totally vegan now and won’t even choose meat if it’s in front of her”.

Christ, I hope that dog got taken off them.

You make me feel old for realising people younger than me have not ever realised this. But it makes sense now I type it… out loud(?)

Back in my day the Steam UI was army green and you’d use it to play all the LAN games your mate had by copying their entire Steam folder over to yours a couple hours before the LAN started. And that was it. That was the “install”. You had Steam and all the HL mods like DoD and CS. Primed and ready to get noise complaints from the neighbours.

Since blocking .ml, I’ve not accidentally contributed to things there. As a result, I haven’t had any hate in my inbox since. Just nice, respectful interactions and discussions.

Having not even ridden horses or been around them, do they genuinely have a happy personality? Or is it something you have to work on, and then they like to be ridden and like spending time with their familiar human companion?

Just curious, since I’ll gladly handle snakes, swim in shark areas, or deal with an aggressive dog that’ll definitely bite me—I know all about these animals, so it’s not scary. But horses have always been scary because I just don’t know. The idea of walking behind one or being near one is unsettling. They’re huge.
