He's just an edgelord, ignore. The point is to get people riled up and spread the misery.

I'm retiring early and fill my days by exploring 20th century film, music and literature, using LLMs to critically examine them throughout the journey. Basically a free hobby with near limitless source material.

But, how is that helping you? It's akin to reading other peoples reviews. Shouldn't you watch the film and do your own critical analysis? Relying on the LLM self defeating.

Because it's pointless and a waste of time.

Retiring, maybe writing a novel


Where on the US ballot was there an option to vote for tariffs?

If I recall correctly, we vote for presidents, senators and the congress who have policy stances on a variety of issues. There are usually only two options, one of which stands for open borders, not enforcing laws, socialism and demonizing people who choose the other option on the ballot.

A large cohort of independents didn't vote for republicans, they voted AGAINST democrats.


I believe there is upcoming legislation along those lines and that the adjustments announced today are those within the executive branches purview.


Yes, and the working hypothesis as to why they have been here in the last century, with sightings mainly in the southwest US, is because they were checking in on our nuclear arms development.


Why would they care about our nuclear arms development?

To any species capable of interstellar travel, nuclear weapons would be about as threatening as a match is to us.


Check out Melbay's catalog of books: https://www.melbay.com/Products/CategoryCenter/F36/Guitar%20...

A lot of the books come with digital downloads of PDFs of the sheet music / tabs along with the author performing the pieces on MP3s.

Get set up with a footstool, and position yourself in front of a computer screen with the PDFs open to practice.


I don’t think doing this on your own will be effective. I would only recommend these Mel bay books if you have a teacher to work with you on it

And even then these Mel Bay style beginners books are probably good for 6mo at most before you should be playing actual music

Flamenco in particular is something else. How you grow your nails, how you use your wrist, all this stuff is something you don’t want to spend hours at home doing only to realize you built a bad habit that will never sound right or even worse lead to RSI


Muting the TV during ads helps.


Democracy is a beautiful thing. It's unfortunate people aren't as enlightened as you. Maybe if Dems had some self awareness and proposed policies that actually worked for people rather than demonize the electorate for sitting out or ticking the other box they wouldn't be in this situation.
