Ich hab so gar keine Berührungspunkte mit deutschem Fernsehen, dass ich nicht einmal wusste, dass es Wetten Dass noch gibt. Musste über das Maimai aber auf jeden Fall trotzdem Schmunzeln.

Ok I see thanks

Do AI chatbots "remember" previous interactions? Like, I know they do in the context of one dialogue. But when people have these "relationships" over weeks or months does the conversation build on everything that's been said before?

Currently reading Maybe you should talk to someone by Lori Gottlieb, which is absolutely delightful.

It seems only logical to me that if we have tests for people to earn the right to drive a car, then there should also be a possibility of forfeiting that right again.

I sort of get the gun argument but it's not airtight in my opinion. Guns too can be used in harmless ways (shooting as a sport) so by the same logic full rehabilitation would include getting a gun license back.

And sure not having a car can be a big disadvantage, but so is having a criminal record, and we don't stop jailing people because of that. Rehabilitation doesn't mean that all consequences of your crime are undone.

Writing this from Linux which I installed last fall in lieu of the Windows 11 update.
I'm still using both OS via dual boot, and I still have some unresolved issues on Linux, but I will fully transition during the course of this year.
One thing that is really mind-blowing is the difference in performance on my ~7 y/o laptop. My Linux Mint is just lightning fast compared to Windows 10. You can quite literally feel how Windows runs a thousand random things in the background (most of which I never asked for) whereas Linux feels very clean and... empty, but in a good way.

How is the entire state of Minnesota not on a general strike by now? There's a paramilitary group marauding their streets and kidnapping and killing people.

The fact that Trump just randomly tore down part of the White House still makes me laugh.

This is NOT just, ‘Trump being Trump.’ It’s Trump being classless.

...where have you been the last, like, 79 years? Trump is classlessness personified.

I'm intrigued by the border between salad and broth.

While he denied the claim, he did admit to getting a massage while at Epstein’s house, although he stated that he kept his underwear on and did not enjoy it.

I guess it's only sexual abuse if you enjoy it...

On a serious note, there is just no bottom to the depravity of the US ruling class, is there?

What does the writer think "effort" means? What does the writer think anything means?
