You weren’t wrong - title is clickbait-y as hell.

I don’t think anyone has been inviting her to the cookout for awhile

If it makes you feel any better - you and I often disagree but I’ve been a fan of Roan’s since 2020 and Pink Pony Club and I try and upvote your posts about her when I see them 🙂

So this is likely one of two things: a clog in the line or the sewer line between your house and the service is broken. You didn’t say how old the house was, but the older it is, the higher the chance the line is actually broken (especially if you have any drainage issues near the foundation or foundation settling issues). No matter what you’ll likely need to figure out what the issue is first by having it scoped and then figure out your next steps. Hopefully it’s just a clog!

Source: had a broken line in a fifty year old house. It was awful and definitely not cheap.

This shows so many gross misconceptions and with such utter conviction, I’m not even sure where to start. And as you seem to have decided you like to get free stuff that is the result of AI trained off the work of others without them receiving any compensation, nothing I say will likely change your opinion because you have an emotional stake in not acknowledging the problems of AI.

I inherited brain structures that are natural language processors. As well as the ability to understand and repeat any language sounds. Over time, my brain focused in on only the language sounds I heard the most and through trial and repetition learned how to understand and make those sounds.

AI - as it currently exists - is essentially a babbling infant with none of the structures necessary to do anything more than repeat sounds back without understanding any of them. Anyone who tells you different is selling you something.

Hopefully not too pedantic, but no one is “teaching” AI anything. They’re just feeding it data in the hopes that it can learn probabilities for certain types of output. It “understands” neither the Reddit post nor the scientific paper.

Maybe if de la Cruz was actually serious, they should actually be campaigning? They have eleven events over the next month (the last month before the election) and eight of them are in California (which is useless to her other than that sweet, sweet fundraising). One event in Oregon, one in Wisconsin, and one in Arizona (where she’s not even on the ballot or registered for write-ins).

Obviously back who you want, but complaining about major party candidates while backing people who can’t even be bothered to put the work into run is a strange decision.

Harris has talked repeatedly about her work taking down sex traffickers. Usually within the context of her work against transnational gangs.

“I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case,” she said at a campaign rally in Nevada

But also within context of protecting sex workers.

In one of her first acts as an elected official, Harris sponsored a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that increased penalties for adults who solicited sex from minors and was considered revolutionary for its push to transform children from criminals into victims.

But that’s the whole point - the source linked in the original post is deemed to be reliable by their own determined tool. So why is a mod nitpicking the text within the linked article? It’s either a reputable source or not. They kept stuff from the New York Times about the Oct 6 attacks even though that didn’t have good sources, and they throw out anything from Fox News even if it’s factually correct.

The mod made a mistake and didn’t seem to realize that the Ukrainian Pravda (legit, privately owner, reliable) is different from Russian Pravda (owned by Russian Communist Party, propaganda) - and keeps coming up with excuses why he did what he did. It’s sad

Now you’re just being intentionally obtuse:

Official Ministry of Defence page with the same numbers:

https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/news/2024/09/24/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russians-over-the-last-day-1400-persons-61-artillery-systems-3-anti-aircraft-systems/

“Data are being updated.”

Obviously a rough English translation and more precisely should probably be “Data subject to change” or “Data continues to be collected”.

Just like any military stats are reported across the world.

That’s why they should be falling back on the reputable sources as shown by their own MBFC bot instead of playing backseat journalist and questioning individual sources within an article.

 

“Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance said Wednesday that Haitian migrants with legal immigration status are “illegal aliens” who have been unlawfully protected from deportation, suggesting that would change if Trump wins the election.”

Articles like this remind me of how absolutely fucked we are if these assholes win.

 

"According to FEC filings, the Synapse Group has worked for Republican Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this cycle, as well as GOP candidates for Congress. Synapse has also been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for field and canvassing work by America PAC, the outside spending group started by allies of Musk that has spent millions of dollars this election cycle to boost Trump and oppose Democrats."
