It's clear from the first paragraph. That's not an accident. If I want to read ChatGPT output, just give me the prompt. I remember when OpenAI thought GPT-2 (!) was too dangerous to release. But they have no problem unleashing thi

This really does describe the expat in Dubai mindset pretty well, sadly.

It's strange that you mention the religious part of UAE making you uneasy, and not the modern day slavery.

I really have a hard time understanding why people post videos of themselves crying. Maybe I'm already old in my 30s, but it's hard for me to wrap my head around it. Like, I get that at some level it's fishing for sympathy an

Trees are big in the Torah and Bible generally. The Bible Project did a whole series on trees in the Bible. You've got the Tree of Life, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the cross, the tree in the book of Jonah, the fig tree

I've seen people be smug that they read books and don't watch TV before, but this is the first time I've seen someone be smug that they watch reality TV better than someone else.

This is just so absolutely stupid. This group of people have somehow got it in their heads that their primary job is owning the libs, and not governing. Independent of your views on immigration, or law and order, or anything. Juvenile shit

>the last one, in the early 90s, took 202 years to pass [no not a typo] I mean, it's not a typo, but it's also misleading. It wasn't an active campaign for 202 years. It was largely forgotten for most of that time.

It's still a lot of money from a donor or PAC for this kind of change. I find it remarkably hard to believe that lines moving on Intrade would have a bigger impact than an equivalent amount of money spent on battleground state televisi

It's such a joke that we're even having to discuss this. Has there ever been such a thin-skinned, self-absorbed leader of a major power before? Even his biggest fans have to admit, if only to themselves, that he acts like a toddle

Love Bombing can be a real thing. Being kind and welcoming to others is not it. We don't need to pathologize completely normal, and healthy, behaviours.

You missed the point of my comment. My comment was saying that the people who _don't_ should learn how to do so. It's a skill like any others, and what you're proposing contributes to people being lonely. Instead of making co

The great thing about the comment you're replying to is that it has a list of suggestions. So you've got two options: you can get angry that one of them doesn't cater to you, or you could skip that one and look at the others

The world could use a lot more of learning to like, or even love, the people you didn't choose. That's how it was forever. Now it's not, and we're talking about a loneliness epidemic. I don't think those things are
