So all stateside AI is fucked except Grok. Got it.

I think old people in the US should do this too. I actually think it would have a net positive impact.

I wonder if they’re working on a way to let Trump burn and have JD Vance pick up the torch.

What are the gains?

Everyone I know with PhDs don’t really get paid more for doing the same job(s) I do.

And some are in research so it’s just a constant stress of continuing to get funding and stuff.

Despite common belief…we have guns.

Good

Software engineering. Unfortunately, at the moment, I am dealing with issues of renewing my passport :/

I’ve been a naturalized citizen of the US for 99% of my life.

I am fully expecting that within the next year or so I’ll lose my naturalization. Not because of a criminal record (I have none), but because I’m not white enough.

I am currently looking at applying for a work visa in Canada with longer term plans to move to the EU. Frankly, any and all “plan b” ideas I’m looking into.

Sucks because I have to uproot my family, too. They are white. I still don’t know if they fully comprehend what it is like day to day.

Like, I was just going grocery shopping the other day and had an unmarked van behind me for what felt like an awkwardly long time. I immediately started formulating escape plans. I drove an extra long route to the store just to make sure I wasn’t being followed. Once I parked I sat in my car an extra few minutes to observe if any other suspicious vehicles also parked and if anybody got out. I made sure to message my wife that I parked, that I was on my way into the store, that I was 25%/50%/75% done getting items, that I was checking out, that I was back in the car and headed home.

These are not thoughts I should have to have. It sucks.

I’m also armed, but let’s be honest, I can probably only take 1-2 gestapo out before I’m done for and there’d be no getting away with it long-term.

Oregon here, it has seemed oddly humid feeling to me personally. I’m super sensitive to humidity and heat though.

It isn’t like the south, but definitely more than I recall historically.

It rained today randomly so that doesn’t help either.

Super interesting. Thanks!

Looking back I’m actually confused why this was even a thing. Did Big Recorder have deals with schools to push this? Is Big Recorder a thing?

We only ever used them for like 3 weeks and then it was on to the next thing. Haven’t touched it since.

TIL an emdash, endash, and hyphen are different.

The hero we need.

Because of course. This would harm Trump and all his buddies.

Every. Little. Thing. The GOP does is projection. So that stint about them being against pedophilia straight up means they are all pedophiles.
