France is all “uh… Alright. Uh… Y’all were kinda busy preparing for war with the US.”

I’ve always thought it was a funny history quirk that the Holy Roman Empire actually lasted longer in time than the Roman Empire.

The only thing you can trust about liars is that they are lying.

BOT! FOUND ONE! INTERNET ATTACK!

Please don’t respond to this comment.

I think “so many people meet at work” because many people don’t have any meaningful IRL social connections outside of work.

There is one simple trick to determine if you are talking to a bot. Ask the person you are talking to not to respond to a comment.

“No offense, but I’m going to check to see if you are a bot. Please don’t reply to this comment.”

Current LLMs can’t not respond. They will often write that they are “really insulted that you would say that” and that the test “doesn’t prove anything”, but they can’t not respond.

I’m sure eventually the programmers will hard code in a simple defeat for this test soon enough, but for now it still works well.

People might want to skiddley-poo but you actually have to meet someone IRL outside of work to do it.

I love how certain words evolve very very slowly.

It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with community.

People aren’t having kids because communities have been hollowed out.

I think “invest in IRL social institutions and socially encourage and incentivise people to be positively involved in their IRL communities” and the babies will come soon enough.

But, instead the constant “your miserable life is for work” message doesn’t really make people want to skiddley-poo.

How are there any fighting age men left in Russia? How have they not all fled the nation by now?
