So math is like painting, you can just arbitrarily add a splash of color somewhere to change the mood..

And if someone chooses to watch that, that's their business. Not nanny government's. Not saying I do. But none of us have any business telling someone else what they can and cannot watch. That's part of living in a supposedly "free" country. We aren't China. You want a "great firewall", then move there.

In our zeal to shun everything China-related, we must not become them.

I was under the assumption that the Constitution applies to all within the sovereign territory of the US, not just citizens. That's why undocumented immigrants are still given trials for suspected crimes.

I'm 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.

Does anyody really look at anyone in an ad and say, "Yes, that's a fellow human, I connect with them on a personal level"?

I've been perceiving them as robots since 1986. Because even as a child I knew people in an ad don't act or talk like everybody I knew in real life and what they were portraying was completely made up, unrealistic dialog and scenarios.

Ever watch somebody who doesn't know about all that use the rawdog Internet? It's amazing how people can just sit there, deal with all that, and not go apeshit. The population has been conditioned.

We already know how to take care of this in big capacitors. You put a breakaway vent in.

I think there's already a way to forward Google Home requests directly to ChatGPT, I might be wrong though.

Yeah it's like what happened to toasters, refrigerators, and home computers. Nobody gives AF anymore.
