“All your base are belong to us” and the monologue about the Magic / More Magic toggle.

That’s a whole load of whataboutism bullshit.

if you’re wanting to wash it at home,

The AI should absolutely understand the implication that you want to wash your car at the car wash, not at home. The prompt is clear about that, even though it is implied.

“I want a hamburger. McDonald’s is three miles from me and Wendy’s is five miles. Which is the cheaper place to get a burger from when you consider the distance to each?” is not an exact analogy, but the point is that it should be ABSOLUTELY clear that you do not wish to make your own hamburger. Any response that discusses that as an option is ridiculout, unless maybe it’s one of those options-at-the-end thing LLMs love to do - but it has no part of the main answer at all.

You have to have the car there no matter what type of car wash it is.

If the car wash is some distance “away”, it means neither you nor the car is at it. Any attendant is not going to walk off-property to retreive your car, especially when most of them you drive up for service. Which is rather the point.

I’m not afraid to say that it took me a sec. My brain went “short distance. Walk or drive?” and skipped over the car wash bit at first. Then I laughed because I quickly realized the idiocy. :shrug:

at least a decade…

You’re not wrong, but even this article mentions a news article from 1991… heh

Excuse me, but I"ve been waiting here to check out for fifteen seconds. I want your manager!

The other three in the car including his sister said nothing about anything suspicious, and they surely would have.

And if you believe that “someone is keeping them quiet”, then all bets are off and nothing anyone says matters. :shrug:

What key do you have to press to read the article where three other people in the car including his sister didn’t notice anything suspicious?

So it is your assertion that his own sister and the other two occupants of the crash who got out but were unable to get him out - they didn’t notice anything suspicious at all? And you think that if there was anything suspicious, nobody would have reported it?

I say this is a failure of common sense and of the internet.

Not if you read the article’s account of the crash, which is well down in the article.

In particular, the part about how his sister and the other two people in the car didn’t mention anything suspicious.

If this wasn’t true, then the war would be over and Russia would have no gains.

What fucking bullshit spin is this bullshit? Ukraine is fucking successfully defending itself against Russia, you fucking muppet. Russia, with supposedly the second best military in the world, can’t even fucking win a war in Ukraine, who is somewhere supposedly down in the list?

You are absolutely laughable and pitiful.

Yeah, although sometimes ya do gotta let off a little steam… but you are right.

Does he think

I’m going to stop you there. :)

And even the ones who are not are almost all beholden to our oligarchs and serve at their pleasure.

I’m more than happy not to charge her rent.

…that sounds creepy, but I just mean I’m glad she’s in politics fighting the progressive fight, and I support her. lol

We’ve managed some progress. As much racism is a huge issue and on the increase, overall minorities today are a bit better off. Lynchings are a bit less common; sundown cities far fewer in number. Haven’t seen segregated water fountains or anything like that in a bit. Although there’s certainly still redlining and plenty of inequality…

Women have done even better - as recently as 1974 being unable to open a bank account without husband’s signature. While there’s still plenty of inequality there as well, that situation has improved even more.

I certainly don’t want to minimize the successes, it’s just that the increases in bigotry that we’ve seen in many areas just feels worse because it felt like we were making progress, only to realize that it is truly a slog and struggle.

And sometimes what one of us thinks isn’t true.

I got back to 1300 alright, but not 1200. But I had a bit of an odd upbringing - our houshold library for some reason had lots of British fiction from the 1700s/1800s and so I got a jump in obscure vocabulary. heh

No, þou ſtupid idiot, he proffered his luſty hens.^[1]
