Thing is, if it’s non toxic, then it’s possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.

Wonder how long it’ll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.

Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let’s just hope they didn’t use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!

Have to play devil’s advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We’d be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn’t adopt their practices. We’re supposed to be better than that.

This should come as no surprise. The UK’s MOD did similar, albeit on a smaller scale, for training troops for deployment in Northern Ireland, and Germany/Europe.

I think we all know China is gearing up to attack Taiwan as they make no secret that, as far as they are concerned, it belongs to them. The fact that the Taiwanese don’t agree is neither here nor there.

Same with Russia.

Now imagine it printing out adverts whilst you’re not using it.

You have to look at why are they busy at particular times though. Is it first thing? That’ll be breakfast on the way to work. Lunchtime? Speaks for itself. Early evening, that’ll be after work.

People can’t just randomly change their work hours to suit Subway/Wendy etc prices.

And, not everyone wants breakfast at 11 am and lunch at 3pm.

Any company upping their prices because it’s busy are just gouging customers.

How about they reduce prices when less customers are about?

These people are such a waste of oxygen.

how few birds were stopping at her house even with a bird feeder out Like so many - and I’ve been guilty of it in the past - their garden is for appearance sake and no thought given to whatever else may call it home. People need to be educated. As for fake grass? There is a special deep, dark place in hell for the inventor and those that use it.

Holy crap, that’s depressing.

And whitey wonders why the locals have got the arseache.

Hasn’t this always been the case?

Israel has not been a shining example of virtue over the years. I’m not excusing the disgusting actions by the other side, where they are proved true, as some of the pictures have already been discounted, but this would only make Israel come down harder.

I don’t the have an answer, but what ever us happening now is certainly not it.

You only have to look and see where his money and family interests are. Anyone who’s surprised at this point, hasn’t being paying attention.

I loved this snippet. “Three times as many unique visitors in July visited the websites for The Old Farmer’s Almanac and the Denver Gazette, Similarweb estimates show”.

She has a point though.

How many died because they were on a waiting list though? Don’t get me wrong, any waiting list is one too many but this headline seems like clickbait to trigger people.

And no, I didn’t read the article because the URL didn’t work :-(

It can and has. There’s no way I could keep in touch with old army mates. They won’t all move to other platforms. I don’t even know of an alternative for group chats and finding people.

Unfortunately I have to go along with it. I keep it locked down as much as possible, use it only on Linux desktop etc. But there you go.
