I read makroswitch on the building. Took a few minutes to realize..

You’re on Reddit- literally everything here is based on (leftist, generally extreme) politics.

Nearly the best popcorn in existence. I like it better than movie theater popcorn and microwave. The only thing better is fresh popped kettlecorn at the fair 😍

what is with that mod. I'll give it a try.

I kinda hope he is in therapy, because a lot of this is going to be over redditor's paygrades. Try not to fret too much, you sound like you care and are trying to do the best you can, so be gentle with yourself, so all you can do is talk with him and try and figure out where to set limits and boundaries if some of his safety zones are being crossed. Working around trauma can be difficult, and the best you can do is be patient and kind with eachother and yourselves, and if he reacts badly to something, try not to take it too hard, talk with him and figure out what did it, and how to work around or through it, though that is where therapy helps too.

The worst part is that she is gonna be oh so sweet with you until you get back home, but once that door is closed, you better get praying.

I was responding to that comment. Everyone can put money in a tax deferred savings account, IRA, 401K SEP etc. They are all exempt.

I think the whole unpopular opinion thing has become a way for people to get people to talk about a topic that they want to talk about without saying “I just saw movie XYZ and thought it was great, lets talk about it in this thread”, which I guess would be kind of weird. Like whenever I search this sub for some 30 year old movie I just watched, only upvoted ones with discussion are either “X movie is amazing, Y was so good playing that character” or “Z movie is criminally underrated. How is no one talking about it?”.

You think we're all just going to cooperate? "Discuss this as a species?" How's that going to work? Democracy? Yeah that's been working beautifully.

I don't think you've been paying attention.

You don't need to "attach AIs to the nukes" for them to do massive harm. All you need is one bad person using an AI to advance their own agenda. Or even an AI itself that was improperly aligned, got a "power seeking" goal, and used manipulation (pretending to be a romantically interested human is one way) or threats (do what I say or I'll email everyone you know, pretending to be you, sending them all this homemade porn I found on your hard drive).

GPT-4, as we speak, is writing code for people, and those people are running that code, without understanding it. I use it to write code and yes, it is incredible. It does it in small chunks, and I at least have the ability to skim over the code and see it isn't doing anything harmful. Soon it will do much larger programs , and the people running the code will be less experienced programmers than me. You don't see the problem there? Especially if the AI itself is not ChatGPT, but some open source one where they've taken the guardrails off? And this is all assuming the human (the ones compiling and running the code) is not TRYING to do harm.

I mean, go look in your spam folder. By your logic, we'd all agree that deceptive spam is bad, and stop doing it. Now think of if every spam was AI generated, knew all kinds of things about you, was able to pretend to be people you know, was smarter than the spam filters, and wasn't restricted to email. What if you came to reddit, and had no clue who was a human and who wasn't.

I don't know where your idealistic optimism comes from. Here in the US, politics has gone off the rails, more because of social media than anything. 30 years ago, we didn't have the ability for any Joe Blow to broadcast their opinion to the world. We didn't have algorithms that amplified views that increased engagement (rather than looking at quality) at a massive scale. We now have a government who is controlled by those who spend the vast bulk of their energy fighting against each other rather than solving problems.

Sorry this "drives you fucking insane", but damn. That's really, really naive if you think we'll all work together and solve this because "that's what we do." No, we don't.

My bad I thought this was America.

There is a protected bike lane along carrie furnace blvd that takes you up to the rankin bridge.

There is also public money for designing the link eastward to the Westmorland Heritage Trail.

If the underpass is opened under the railraod, there is a gravel road that connects to Duck hollow and Bradock. Also, opening that underpass leads to a second underpass and a set of steps under the other set of tracks. This leads to an old parking lot for steelworkers. From there you can take amazing singletrack trail all the way back to frick park without ever crossing a road. Or you can go up a steep paved driveway on the border of swissvale and rankin. The very top crosses private land briefly but i'm guessing there's an easement that would allow it to be opened back up.

The gravel road and singletrack is already extremely popular with cyclists. Connecting this to the GAP will open up so many more opportunities for people in the area.

Yeah i wasn't in the left turn lane, i was going straight. I guess just not fast enough...

Thanks!

This. For his first couple terms including while Mango Mussolini was in office, Sununu was as sane as Republicans got. He stayed out of the culture wars and wasn't a covidiot either. He tried to do right by New Hampshire and not get involved in national level BS as most of the country's GOP went full Q Cucks Klan.

Then Biden took office, and Sununu changed drastically. If you've been paying attention at all, it's like he's a totally different person since Jan 2021.

They are! You can clearly tell from the melted snow!

thanks ill sell my bmw and either get a bike or public transit or carpool for now

It would likely be cheaper to scrap it entirely and just have them build the train cars and ship them. We saw that with the initial bids given -- they were essentially "we don't want to do this, so will give a bid so high you'll have to turn it down because it won't make sense." That's how bad the situation we've created is.

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it!

I will look into different support options. I'm just afraid I'll be put on a med that makes me feel like garbage again

thanks ! new music really soon, here’s my ig for updates : https://www.instagram.com/saunimon

Makes sense to build a concrete skatepark in a flood zone as many of the bowls and such can be used to help mitigate water, and when the water drains the park is back to being free to skate again.

Well technically....
