You are so incredibly misinformed and your worldview is tragically narrow.

Yeah man, they're totally identical. No difference between them at all. Nope.

I think that's because it's glorified autocorrect

High kids' dumb shit will always pale in comparison to drunk kids' dumb shit and it's not even close.

There's just... so much to unpack here.

Maybe we just throw the whole damn suitcase away.

Is there not enough about Israel in the current news cycle that you'll completely disregard what's actually happening here for a throwaway, utterly irrelevant comment?

This is a really interesting article on lightbulbs, which have a pretty conspiratorial past: https://interestingengineering.com/science/everlasting-lightbulbs-exist-ed

Did you know that a secret meeting was held in Geneva in 1924 between lightbulb manufacturers that lead to the formation of the 'Pheobus Cartel'?

"The main objective of this cartel was to agree to control the supply of light bulbs. Each understood that if any one of them managed to develop a long-lasting light bulb, the need for replacement bulbs would likely dry up.

Bulbs were lasting too long. Not ideal from their point of view.

So, to combat this, all members of the cartel agreed to reduce the lifespan of bulbs on purpose. Initially, this was set to no more than 1,000 hours!"

The longest-lasting lightbulb was first turned on it 1901 and is still shining.

EDIT: Seems this is a myth, see replies for more information!

I don't think that word means what you think it means

"gives the human shields a chance to escape from the death cult" is a WILD way to describe how millions of civilians suddenly have less than 24 hours to move south (where? Who cares?) lest they get absolutely bombed to fuck.

Doesn't help that people conflate Hamas with Palestinian civilians.

Thank you so much for these running summaries, they genuinely make the whole situation actually followable for a non-American <3

To be clear, it wasn't "aware" of anything. I think it's dangerous to give personhood to and presume consciousness for a language learning model, and perpetuates and pretty insidious lie about what current so-called artificial intelligence means
