Obligatory: If books could kill was started because they wanted to do a freakonomics takedown, lol. It’s their first ep.

I don’t hate you for bootlicking, I just pity you.

LOL. I checked the modlog. Man, the monocle fell off that sealion real quick.

This is like learning about the christmas truce in WWI.

Also, I had to search both those guys. RIP Sven Guckes, I’m sure I have more to thank you for than I’ll ever know (unless I go back and check the commits). Thomas Dickey, I hope Luigi Mangione’s defence is going well.

You will, regrettably, find it easy to believe what happened next.

The chatbot recommends the patient see a touring clown to cheer them up, only for the patient to reveal that they are themselves that same clown???

Thanks for debunking that. The AI bro writing the OP probably googled “examples of well intentioned regulation gone wrong” and copied the first thing they popped up. As in, I googled that and the first link I got was a quora post with both the example in question and a long discussion thread (152 comments!) poking holes in the example. And if they didn’t get it through google, they probably got it through GPT.

E: forgot to link to the quora post. Link

I’d believe it! I don’t spend much time looking at the specifics of chud weirdo discourse, but that definitely sounds like something they’d pull out of their ass.

How many CEOs did you speak to in the last 5 years to make you so confident about their “state”

Probably just short of 70, definitely more than 68.

Here’s one about “jumping ships”

  1. That “article” doesn’t say shit about fuck.
  2. Your point in no way conflicts with what I said.
  3. What are you even doing here? How does boot taste?
