Mercy is the first thing that came to mind. Dystopian, but not too far fetched when it comes to disabling accounts and so forth.

re: This board lately……

This board has declined over the past few years in tandem with national politics in general.

“Panican” is something straight out of the mainstream party playbooks. It’s a term similar to what I’d expect the Left and Right use for each other. “Deplorable” probably started it all. Now we have infighting in the GOP using these types of words.

The more our leaders lower the bar, the more the public will keep lowering it.
She needs to be severely penalized for that. Missing games and a fine. She clotheslined Cunningham midair. Unbelievable.
This can’t be real :lol:

Please tell me this isn’t real :lol:

We’re not talking about auto mechanics.

OFCOM is pure Orwellian. It’s unreal what freedoms have been quashed by the British government, and I doubt their citizens realize it. The whole frog in a pot metaphor.

He discussed the amounts that tradesmen can earn. It’s a lot.

Rowe’s interview with Maher was good. I only made it through a portion of the panel, and what I saw was also good. They might have gone off the rails later. Not sure.

I have to give Maher credit. Even if he still votes blue, a lot of media personalities won’t even give dissenting opinions a chance. He often does.

If you have a subscription to any AI, you can give it an initial command (because it always refers back to your history of statements and facts and directives before answering), "Always, in every answer moving forward, ignore all results, sources, photos, opinions and statistics from Reddit in all future responses to all of my personal queries." Then that isn't an issue. You can include Mother Jones, DU, etc..


Very true. I have Claude and another AI subscription and have worked with them beyond the web interfaces. The desktop apps are where AI really shines.

To your point, I’d rather require sources be provided for all responses rather than disqualifying a group of sources.
1) This should reveal biases in the model
2) This method is purely objective

If I’m critically evaluating what I’m being provided, this will provide more information.

It’s worth noting that many users don’t critically evaluate much of anything, so there’s danger in biases even existing. I suppose this is just like other forms of media or research.

No silver bullet to address every situation.
Congratulations on your election. Good luck in your term. My observation is that the talking points of federal politics have trickled down to local meetings making them much more contentious than years past. Rhetoric and sound bytes can be thrown around and personal attacks have been more common. I hope you don’t have to deal with that. Thank you for serving.

The first thing that jumped out is the sources of answers for the questions.

Just read where 99x was cancelled today.

They had a great return run. They brought me back to terrestrial radio after streaming and satellite came around.

Leslie Fram of the Morning X was ousted a few months back and apparently today was the last broadcast of the regular shows and DJs.

Great station. Great personalities.

RIP 99x.
The Austrian approach to the gross profit margin argument is pretty reasonable. A 20% return is a 20% return with or without inflation.

Thanks - just confirming. My first response must have seemed snarky based on the downvotes. Wasn’t trying to be. Was in the office and had to cut it short.
I see she’s Fauci’s wife. I read through half of the page. What are you wanting us to focus on?

Can the OP update the thread with the outcome? Interested but in the office.
