Dance halls and hotels don't have "safe harbor" provisions as a matter of law, and their services to performers are not deemed a "human right".

If your floor is so dirty that you can't use the flashlight technique, it's time to pick up a broom...

Lay a flashlight on the floor.

In the horizontal beam of the flashlight, every mote of dust will cast a long shadow. Something as large as a tiny screw becomes easily visible.

Two options.

1. Dump her ass yesterday.

2. She trusts ChatGPT. Treat it like a mediator. Use it yourself. Feed her arguments back into it, and ask it to rebut them.

Either option could be a good one. The former is what I'd do, but the latter provides some emotional distance.

I think it correlates more strongly to the prevalence of pornography. Mainstream movie scenes look fake and contrived, because they are. As unrealistic as pornography is, that is actually a dick, and it is actually going in a vagina.

When your mainstream movie sex scene is going to be compared (unfavorably) to a scene of two people actually fucking, why bother even shooting it?

No, but I can almost always check the modlog when if a user complains

FTFY.

The authors of thoughtful, insightful, accurate, and reasonable posts and comments tend to be the kind of people who choose their battles, and quietly walk away from communities led by power-tripping dipshits.

I just know I am capable of recognizing a shit take on politics anywhere

Not when the "shit take" in question is the arbitrary, capricious, unjustified removal of thoughtful, insightful, accurate, reasonable posts and comments. You (generally) can't recognize the "shit take" of removing good content unless you spend all day reading the mod logs.

There are laws against selling fake drugs. Why does he think your product is a drug? Has it been represented to him as a drug by you or by someone with whom you are conspiring to sell fake drugs?

Bees are fish and Fish is practically a vegetable.

He isn't. No sane reading of the 14th amendment allows him to run.

That's a spider orgy.

I'll just leave this here.

Get off my lawn, young'n.

My point wasn't that LLMs are capable of reasoning. My point was that the human capacity for reasoning is grossly overrated.

The core of human reasoning is simple pattern matching: regurgitating what we have previously observed. That's what LLMs do well.

LLMs are basically at the toddler stage of development, but with an extraordinary vocabulary.

You say this like human "figuring" isn't some "autocomplete bullshit".

That's why I draw big black vertical bars on the sides of my bills before I deposit them. Mathematically, that makes them deposit the absolute value instead of the negative asset.

Look at night time satellite imagery. South Korea looks like an island; the northern half of the peninsula is almost entirely dark.

The street lamps along their route to Ukraine will be enough to give them culture shock.

even then you don't need this recurring manual registration mess.

There is no recurring manual registration. You only need to register once in your lifetime.

If you move, you have to update your ID within 60 days, and every time you update your ID, they update your voter registration automatically. (unless you decline).

That has been federal law since 1993, and is pretty much equivalent to European standards.

You really have to go out of your way to not be registered to vote.

They aren't going to want those 3000 troops coming back and talking about their time in the west.

Private Mortgage.

There is nothing preventing a landlord from earning money as interest payments on a loan instead of payment in exchange for temporary use of his property.

There is no need for either party to involve a bank at all. And plenty of good reason not to.

Eliminating down payments is a large part of what caused the housing bubble in the early 2000s. Everyone was buying homes with no money down, and taking the keys owing much more on their properties than what the properties were worth.
