Have you noticed how happy Trump is recently? He’s been smiling and even laughing over the last several months. I’m not sure if it’s the abject cruelty that’s hitting home or they have him on anti anxiety meds to ease him as he starts falling apart.

It takes a long time to code things up with AI... whatever they are expecting is weird. Like the shit it's good at, parsing data and stuff it does once in 2 minutes and then you are now stuck with more information and things you need to do. AI is being sold as a miracle and it's just not that
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

Oh right, Trump thinks HUD is just about black people, so he takes the most incompetent black man they can find and make him the head of it.

My business partner came over today and as he walked in he locked out security screen door deadbolt. Locking my wife out.
He lives in K Town. This is Burbank. I only lock the door at bed time. I don’t have a key to my house.

"Sex at birth?"
Well, sort of, I came out of a vagina... It was my mom's so that's a little problematic, but I'm not sure what information you're looking for... "yes"?

Take over Greenland so we can tax them more and take away their healthcare, also lower their education standards, and resign them to an English only society.

To be frank, we should be revoking the incorporation (which you do via the Secretary of State in which the company’s headquarters reside) of every single company that supplies gear, or helps ICE to move or detain people.
This was used against UnoCal for their human rights violations in Myanmar.

“Yes. Bring them all here. We have some nice camps for them.” - Stephen Miller.
So Trumps going to offer asylum to British Jews when he doesn’t even protect the people living here. He’s such a liar. He really could care less about Jewish people let alone anyone one other than himself. It’s all for show with him to make people think he cares. He doesn’t!!

It’s a genetic “allergy” we can “taste” it and it tastes like death on our tongues. The only way we can have it is when the chemicals that we can taste are cooked out. Heat destroys whatever it is.
people HATE when i tell them i don't like celery. all my life ive hated the flavor of celery. it tastes wrong and weird and like borderline lynchian. and i can always tell when celery has been in something even if u take it out. it's a sicko flavor. and people hate me for speaking the truth

To repeat:
Trump was hired by Russia to weaken America, and fuck over our alliance with Europe.
He wanted to break our democracy and make America just as corrupt as his gov’t, so he could say to his people, “See? Democracy isn’t better. You have no hope. Might as well stay with me.”

There's an egg flavored natto that I really enjoyed. Natto at the Japanese markets is like weed. You find a flavor you like, and go back to the store to get more, and they are like "yea, man, like we don't have that one anymore."

Jonathan Ross switched hands with the camera so he could film himself shooting a woman in the face. The only problem was the car moving caused him to turn the camera away so he could both step out of the way and kill the driver.

Bought and froze some fish from Tokyo Central last weekend. The boy is trying to eat less saturated fats and doesn't like cooked fish. TA DA. Sashimi for him and some nigiri for the wife and I.
