That’s just voluntary taxes. Which is hilarious because we all know the only people paying into that are the same crowd that bitch about taxes.

Either that or it’s just another way to bribe Trump and they have no intentions of using that money to pay off the debt.

Edit: I did the math and if every American in the entire country donated $50,000 it would still only cover less than half of the debt. At the average yearly salary it would take one person over 700,000,000 years to pay it off themselves.

Pretty much, yeah. It’s like reading fan fiction and assuming that’s how real people talk to each other. Similar to watching porn and assuming that’s how sex works when in reality sex is clunky and often times gross.

The issue arises when you don’t have anyone to talk to. Having something to talk, even though it’s not a real person, can be enticing to sate the need to communicate with people. The problem is that people that don’t have a lot of real life experience in communication fall into the trap of thinking it’s better because it’s always agreeable and “listens” better than normal people. To me that sounds like someone that has difficulties with oversharing and has poor social skills. What these people should actually be doing in order to feel more satisfied socially is to work on their social skills instead of only talk to chatbots that can’t say no. If the types of relationships people have with chatbots were translated into human relationships most people would consider them toxic. And how many people do you know that for some reason seek out and always end up in toxic relationships?

I tried one just for shits a giggles awhile back to see if there is any merit to the widespread use of them. The only way you’d find these even remotely realistic or interesting is if you’ve never had any kind of sexual encounter with a real person before, whether in person or through text. After about five minutes of “chatting” with one of these bots it started to respond like half baked fan fiction that didn’t understand the basics of sex or even anatomy. The cadence is very predictable and it tends to repeat the same wording and phrasing constantly. If you have real world experience with people, it just feels like a generic chatbot.

In my opinion, this is more proof that these people need to interact with real humans. If these chat bots seem at all human to you, you need to interact with more actual humans.

Why do you say that?

As someone that makes around $25, that’s still not even that much money. It definitely feels like a good minimum wage as I can afford my bills and food relatively easily (although it is getting harder as prices go up) but it’s still not really enough to make my life that much more comfortable than it was 5 years ago.

The only complaint I have is that I needed to work for 10 years in order to reach a wage of what would now be considered minimum wage. It’s always seemed like every increase in wages I have ever gotten has been a year or two too late conpared to how expensive everything is. When I was making $14 an hour the average house prices in my area were $100,000 to $300,000. Now that I’m making almost twice as much and could afford a house 8 years ago, house prices in my area average around $400,000 to $800,000 and sometimes over $1,000,000. It’s like I’ve been playing catch up since the day I was born. In my opinion, I should be making $30+ an hour.

Russia and cannibalism. Name a more iconic duo.

What about people without eyes?

The only thing this will accomplish is creating a black market just like every other drug. Don’t get me wrong, it makes sense from a public health stand point and it will definitely save lives that were cut short from smoking related health conditions. But as we’ve found out with literally every drug in existence no matter how hard of a drug it is, the moment it isn’t legal it gets replaced by a black market with a mountain of new issues.

Just fell for it and imma send this to a few of my friends and pretend I didn’t fall for it so I can laugh at them. :3

Nah he’s just reading the room. Something that most Republicans can’t do because either A. They fully believe everything Trump spews or B. Are just as narcissistic as Trump.

Tucker Carlson is an evil person and has done many terrible things. But he’s also not an idiot. He knew what it was from the beginning and was in on it.

Bro… You literally had to say nothing and you failed at that. And to use the word “woke” is stupid. The amount of flak they are gonna get for this just for saying that word will be immense. This would blow over by Tuesday if you said that entire thing but left out the work “woke”

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen.”

Dude probably prompted ChatGPT with the words Bible, badass, and US military and than asked it to replace some words with the rescue operation. That’s my guess as some of the word replacements make no sense.

Disposable vapes are genuinely evil. With the lithium inside the batteries they are significantly more dangerous than throwing a cigarette out your car window. They have chips inside them with metals that can be recycled and they are made of a hard plastic that’ll be around for thousands if years. Whenever I mention this to people I know they agree with me that it’s evil but continue to use disposable vapes because it’s more convenient. I keep telling my roommates that it’s massively cheaper to get a refillable one and they always agree but never buy one. Every time I go to the vape shop to get juice and coils I drop off a literal tub of disposable vapes from my roommates.

I’m so tired of people being complacent in this and I’m tired of making this rant. People will get nervous about batteries when they see a phone explode in someone’s pocket but they’ll throw that shit on the ground or in the trash without a second thought. Just go back to smoking if you wanna throw shit on the ground. It’s better for the environment and public safety that way anyway.

I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn’t write “I just farted” all over the logo so there is that.

You know what? Sure. As long as they have a reason to release the files I’m down to support it.
