Irremarkable

Frankly it is. It’s a shame you’ve deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There’s a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that’s the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of “a fair way” and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it’s not even funny.

For him the “fair way” for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin’s boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the “fair way” for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn’t actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.

Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.

I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)

The monarchies can stay on one condition. They all wear silly hats like the Swedish king

Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of blatant “PAY ATTENTION TO ME I’M QUIRKY” behavior since AIM.

I don’t think that’s the most likely outcome, but I could definitely see it happening and actively am hoping for it.

Don’t forget the Armenians

That’s not too insane for a company of their size. It’s higher than many, but far from out of the norm.

The worst part is Intel honestly could’ve have spun this into something of a win if they actually handled it properly. They’ve got over $25B in cash reserves, they could easily afford to do a recall and a big PR campaign about how good they are at accepting responsibility and fixing mistakes.

Frankly? Most people.

Most people are really dumb about this type of thing.

Polio still exists, primarily in Afghanistan and neighbors if I remember correctly.

Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of, willful ignorance is.

I am all for space VP

This relies on the assumption that everyone else, or at least a significant portion, in the office managed to do it.

I’m not talking about whether or not they’re actually physically capable of it, of course they are. Im talking about how people immediately shut down and pretend they can’t follow simple directions the second something relates to a compute.

You wildly overestimate the average person’s willingness to do that.
