Yeah i can understand that others enjoy it, but even a poker night with friends sounds unpleasant to me - like a game night ruined.

This could be a fun riddle:

What’s harder to protect the more protectors it has? A secret.

I always describe gambling as non-alcoholic vodka.

It just does nothing for me and leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

Cringe title, reposting untruths, that username and it’s a first post.

once saw her as Bernie Sanders 2.0 but now think she’s more pragmatist than revolutionary

What hot fucking nonsense is this? No shade on bernie but no one left of john mccane thinks sanders is a revolutionary. He’s a pragmatic leftist who joined the dems for pragmatic reasons.

It’s not real. A delivery person wouldn’t get to the door of the oval office. And almost certainly an aide grabs the bag, though the fast food delivery obsessions is partly about security paranoia, so maybe he is paranoid enough to grab the bag.

Slightly but significantly less bad. For now.

The fact that you can whittle a paintbrush in the wilderness but cant build an LLM in the wilderness really doesn’t mean anything.

A zine-maker can’t make paper and a photocopier in the wilderness but they’re still an artist. A digital artist can’t code photoshop in the woods, but they’re still an artist. And some percentage of prompt fondlers could still draw in the wilderness but that doesn’t make their ai art real art.

This is just a bad argument because the complexity of your tools is not what defines an artist.

Ah yes, legislative reform that emerges from nothing but the powerful suddenly deciding to be nicer.

When standards of living rise, birthrates drop.

Western countries, japan & korea all have low birthrates and all developed them as av. income rose. China too but one-child made it a less clear example. Even within a society, middle and upper classes have smaller families than the working class.

Declining birthrates can’t be fixed by improving living standards, but that’s fine because low birthrate is a good thing - a sign of a society doing well.

If a high income/low birthrate society needs more citizens, immigration from low income/high birthrate areas is the only viable option. Endless expansion is a fools errand anyway.

He is not a republican asset, he’s just a member of the ruling class. He’s representing his class interest, not ours.
