Yep, that’s what we see. No one is a villain in their own mind.

But it does describe an embattled hero surrounded by villains on the snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Heroes kill people all the time in stories. We don’t disparage the hero because they killed because it was for a good cause. And like imagine if the hero didn’t kill the bad guy and next week you’re dealing with the bad guy again. Clearly RFK and friends are fighting the good fight and have to defeat the bad guys once and for all.

Obviously to me it’s BS but the point is that they might see the bad stuff and justify it because of the greater good or whatever. We’ve learned through countless tales that ends don’t justify the means and doing bad things for the greater good is usually bad and often terrible. But we also have an imagination and empathy. And know how to read.

Fiction is full of stories that teach you right from wrong. The distinction gets more complicated as we get older so we use stories to explore the ideas. WE do that, our current leaders do not. And because of that they are lacking in empathy and didn’t see the patterns that they are following. And don’t see the history that they are rhyming with.

Yo ho hardy harr! What’s this I found sailing the sea? A Star Wars show/movie for me! And your telling me it’s available for free? I’ll cancel my Disney Plus with glee!

Seriously though, Disney is no artist but we can separate the artist from the art. You’re welcome to enjoy Star Wars, just don’t pay Disney for it. Fuck Disney.

Recovery from General is kind of rough but I think it’s the only thing that my insurance would cover too. I had all the work in my mouth done at once under general for 8 hours. The follow-up 4 hour procedure was done under IV sedation where they give you fentanyl.

That stuff is a miracle. It feels easy on the body, like I woke up and could semi function after a couple hours instead of two or three days later from the GA. I didn’t feel or remember anything. And while I was nervous because in my previous experience I really like opioids, there is no lingering wish to go to the dentist for more really expensive drugs. Heck, I don’t remember any of it.

Yes, we currently have something similar although it’s less comprehensive. That’s what the article is about.

Your logic seems sound.

Keep an eye on the Seattle election. If the progressive wins the race there will be a lot of gearing up for a huge influx of people. The people are expected either way but the progressive want to do something to house them and the conservatives want it all to be a surprise.

My family is interested in going international however.

And the Dark Side.

Okay so hear me out, public, neighborhood car parks but also a network of car free streets.

Like my neighborhood is surrounded by arterials, what if you had a car park that was free like within 5 blocks. Is it a waste of space that could be used for housing? Yes. But it also moves cars to the periphery and opens up like 25 blocks to be car free neighborhood streets where people can walk, children can play and we have less noise pollution and can easily build community.

We can designate areas of on street parking for disabled people and allow services into the neighborhood but we could limit the entrances and have more clutter and places to sit and vibe instead of having to maintain vigilance.

I heard about Notebook LM recently. I couldn’t tell you what it’s trained on but I’m order to use the LLM you need to provide it source material.

So say you’re writing something for school. You can gather 50+ papers on the subject you’re trying to write about, upload them, then ask the LLM about what you uploaded. Sounds like turning research from a search for info to an interview with an “expert.”

Again I can’t speak to how it was trained in the background but this seems genuinely useful.

Good on during episode 6, is a ride

I’d like to wait and see what happens at the trial before declaring him innocent or guilty. Just like any conspiracy theory in the past there are plenty of reasons to believe he is innocent. It does seem that he is probably the person but what I’ve seen and read hasn’t convinced me beyond a shadow.

The liars in charge of our government keep saying this is the guy, and we should kill him. I find that super suss.

It’s not weird that I’m waiting for more info before forming an opinion.

It is much more weird that you’re taking the word of police at face value. If you want to kill him so badly, prove it.

Fortunately this is not how criminal courts work. Or at least not how they’re supposed to. You don’t have to prove your innocence, they have to prove that you are guilty.

If you think he put holes in that CEO, prove it.

Things have felt stable but I just looked at USD vs EUR last night and were back down to pandemic dollar strength. The fall is precipitous.

It feels so pedantic at this point but these shit gibbons look like they bought vests and plate carriers on Amazon and now get to RP as cops. And for some reason this is allowed? This makes the federal government look like a bunch of kids just attacking people indiscriminately.

Wait it’s not supposed to be two people with 1 apple each and me with 4?
