I think the mom was just supposed to be talking about her experiences in this case. Its possible a convo like that took place and her mom related it to her but its also possible she took license to create it with her mom as a character.

Why does the planning of it matter on her comic? She was just a participant not a planner. I felt the need to put this whole preamble on the last one because so many people treated it like her comic was an announcement about it as opposed to what it was. Which is her comic is a diary and since she was participating she made a nice artistic thing to represent it. Her comic is intended to be a bit childlike as it often blends reality with mind characters. The inner devil, angel, child, and brute are all regulars now. I actually like that. Showing that internal struggle of the mind we all have. She doesn’t actually beat people with clubs but she feels like that sometimes. etc.

Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.

Is that an issue. I thought glass did not allow uv through.

This type of activity just increased and increased in the aughts and slashdot just was pointless. Its sorta like the superbowl for me. Best to just avoid the stream and check out best of lists after the fact.

I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.

I have not been on since my last comment but man I remember avoiding the internet for a day back in the day. Good to be back.

ahh. yeah. forgot. its don’t look at the internet day.

People know at various levels. You are seeing maga types even recognizing this stuff aint so great for them and repbulicans who go with it to be winning to realize it might not have been a smart move. Then like most of the democratic congress feel they need to make moves with the next election. Then there are the ones with their eyes open who realize he is now clearing house and putting in as many as possible who will heil on command at as high a levels as possible and make sure all the rest are cowed by removing any security their position might have had. We see he is already floating ideas to make new election restrictions and extend his term and has no problem breaking laws and constitutions and court orders and such.

I like them like that but I often like to do side by side.

who else thought something else when they read sailor worf?

Nope but I sing and whistle when im alone walking my dog. Maybe if I have headphones and im going along with the song. Nothing to do with proximity of womenfolk though.

this makes me think of the dilbert where the lazy guy talks about reusing code from payroll on this project for airline software and warns his workmates to not fly on payday.

This gets me because I was filling out a survey for my local library and I said they are the most important institution after city hall and the post office.

I read it as replace doctors but yeah. I mean even current crappy ai chatbots can increase the productivity of a human. Granted we have thinned our systems in prioritizing efficiency over quality that Im not sure if we will see much of an effect till we have a society were people are relatively satisfied with its functioning.

This is pretty significant considering photosynthesis from most plants will degrade and even stop at higher temperatures. We have known about it but other plants using a different type of photosynthesis will still be able to do it. This however sounds like it would effect all plants regardless. Granted maybe I sound to light but you know. Fucked a bit harder.

I actually consider myself very lucky. You see if I had not spent 5 years graduating with a second major and had not wasted a year in a PhD program and a few years in my initial major which did not work out. If I had not done that and instead grabbed a major that paid or just some certs and started working. Well then I might have been situated such that when I got married we might have went for kids. Luckily I kicked myself down the road into the new millenium where I could now see it was not a good idea.

can you give an example of robotic surgery done independently by a machine and not a doctor???

nope but my lingo interpretation is way dated and by the time I uptake something its out of fashion.

You get my standard reply that I use zorin which is an ubuntu based distro that tries to give the look of feel of windows and has a lot of default installed things like wine/playonlinux, libreoffice, app for disc burning, rdp client, basically most everything I would want for day to day use. It is not necessarily the best gaming distro and its certainly not bleeding edge. Its a great install and get to doing things right away distro to me which is what I want.
