I wouldn’t say so. Everything I’ve heard others say about it is that the writing is superb and that’s been my experience too. And it hooks you pretty quickly. (You’ll want to start with the 2003 miniseries, which is also on Prime at the moment, before going on to season 1 which aired in 2004.)
They/we are concerned about free works in general. I’m not sure where you got the idea people aren’t.
If a) you actually got it to a rolling boil for a sufficient time (some teas recommend heating to less than boiling temperature), b) the water boiled in the cup (as in, microwave rather than tea kettle you may have let cool a while before actually pouring it in the cup), and c) you took surgeon-like steps to avoid contamination during and after the steeping process, I’d imagine it’d be just as sterile as any thing properly sterilized by boiling would be.
I’ve finally gotten around to starting the 2003 Battlestar Galactica. Very much recommended.
“Wuhan lab samples hold no close relatives to virus behind COVID”
So… does this mean we can finally put the lab-leak theory to rest? (Please?)
But that might’ve spooked the squirrel and it might have bit her on th- wait, no, you’re right. That’d be hilarious.
That’s the neat part. I don’t!
I’ve got enough privacy concerns about my car’s privacy policies that I don’t want my phone talking to my car. (Except via the aux audio port, at least.)
And since I first got a smartphone, I haven’t done enough traveling that I’ve ever felt the need for a maps app. But there are options on F-Droid. I just can’t speak to how good they are as I’ve never used any of them.
Though, honestly, I can also just use https://maps.google.com/ through my browser.
Nope! I’m Google-app free.
My only app store is F-Droid. And I have yet to install any proprietary apps on my phone.
I’ve got Shelter set up in case my work ever pressures me to install any proprietary apps, but so far they haven’t pushed anyway.
OP wasn’t asking about that. He was asking about whether Trump is the antichrist.
It’s not like we need the bible to tell us to help the needy. And the existence of Christian abortion clinic bombers and parents who allow their children to die rather than seek medical assistance make it clear that taking the bible too seriously can be quite dangerous.
I’m fine with applying good words from any work of fiction to your own behavior. (Jediism, anyone?) But for fuck’s sake, don’t use the bible (or any other work of fiction) to justify bad shit like bigotry or worse.
Basically don’t take the bible seriously. At least not any more seriously than you might take any other work of fiction.
Nothing in the Bible should be taken seriously. This is like asking if Elon Musk is literally Darth Vader as shown in the Star Wars franchise.
Do you have a link to a thread somewhere where someone asked the admins to transfer ownership of this community to someone else?
More realistically:
We trust OpenAI’s word on this?
See how many tickets you have to open at precisely the same time to make the server grind to a halt. Given how long it takes to load even one, my bet’s on about 10 before other users start seeing issues.
They’re rebooting that Jack Black movie already?

God. I was eating, fucker.
People with at least certain types of NPD tend to use/manipulate/victimize people in ways that hurt, scare, and anger. People who have experience dealing with such NPD sufferers often have unresolved grudges which they project onto anyone with NPD. (Similarly, they tend to label NPD anyone who triggers their unresolved issues.)
In a perfect word, everyone would be emotionally mature enough not to be triggered or even injured in the first place by someone exhibiting manipulative/narcissistic behavior. But we don’t live in a perfect world. Victims of emotional abuse have valid reason to hurt and be scared and angry. It’s reasonable to say that they don’t have valid reason to demonize people with NPD. But whether demonizing people with NPD is “valid” or not, it’s understandable. At least as understandable as is any sort of projection.
So, this is a personal question, and definitely don’t feel obligated to answer it, but if you “haven’t abused or manipulated anyone ever”, can I ask if you’ve gotten any verification of this assertion from an impartial observer? For instance, has a therapist used a term like “covert NPD” to refer to you?
Also, being honest here and speaking personally, I have suffered abuse and manipulation of a distinctively narcissistic sort for a number of years. I don’t feel like I harbor hatred toward the individual in question today. (Though I’d really rather not ever interact with them again.) But it definitely was a long process to reach the point where I could say that. And it’s pretty certain that even if the individual to whom I refer had/has issues that lead them to abuse and manipulate me, I must admit that I similarly had preexisting issues on which they wouldn’t have been able to prey had I not had such issues. (And, full disclosure, if this individual ever had an NPD diagnosis from anyone with more authority than my own armchair, I’m unaware of it.)
I’ve since run into and worked closely with at least one other individual who habitually acted in very narcissistic ways toward me and others and I was able to mostly view them with empathy and avoid being triggered to an extent that wouldn’t have been possible had I not previously worked closely with the former individual I mentioned above. I can’t say I’m thankful to the first one per se, but at very least I can admit that having interacted with them, in some ways I’ve become a stronger person. (Even if in others I’ve become weaker.)
LLMs are a scam and no magic number of TB/s is going to make them churn out playable BF1 levels.
