We say registrations go from 1 or 2 a day to 14 (other instances saw similar upswings). Just on this news. If they do implement it we’ll see another Rexxit with similar big numbers.

I did Google “closest brothels to Canada” and it seems like there are plenty in Canada. Apparently, while it is illegal to buy sex, police don’t enforce this as they have plenty of actual crimes to be keeping themselves busy with.

So, if it means so much to the OP, they should save up their pennies and go somewhere like Vancouver.

Fun fact: just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

I’d have definitely had a lot less fun if I’d steered clear if anything that breaks the law.

Lengthy discussion here.

Sometimes other bodily fluids.

I use Calibre.

I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.

How tech-literate are those toddlers?

They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.

Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯

Keelhaul the offenders, oh Black Pharaoh¡

I read somewhere that the largest class of jobs in half the US states was truck driver and it’s high in most other places (that article says 600k). They are likely to be the first sector almost wiped out by AI, followed by call centre workers and a lot of the legal profession. Good luck reskilling all those people. Here in the UK, call centres were often opened in areas of low employment, so we’ll see a lot of the already decimated old industrial areas hollowed out.

“If you’re driving a truck today,” he said, “my expectation is you’re going to be able to retire driving a truck.”

Probably true as it will take a while for them to ramp the numbers up to cover the shortage in truck drivers, and they’ll still need drivers for that last mile (as these trucks work best going between depots on freeways) but how long will being a truck driver be a viable occupation? When it’s one of the biggest areas of employment, can everyone transition to other logistical jobs, as suggested by the article?

I’ll take that and raise you a wifi9.

I’m not sure it’s new guy syndrome - he’s got two legal cases on the go with, apparently, very little to back it up:

Goziker worked at TikTok for only six months. He didn’t hold a senior position inside the company. His lawsuit, and a second one he filed in March against several US government agencies, makes a number of improbable claims. He asserts that he was put under 24-hour surveillance by TikTok and the FBI while working remotely in Mexico. He claims that US attorney general Merrick Garland, director of national intelligence Avril Haines, and other top officials “wickedly instigated” his firing. And he states that the FBI helped the CIA share his private information with foreign governments. The suits do not appear to include evidence for any of these claims.

No at a minimum that has to make people wonder if he’s an unbiased source at a minimum and it should make lawmakers at least stop to consider how reliable a witness he is.

Yeah, I left around the same and switched to OneNote which hass been working fine for my needs

A friend was in a car crash with his daughter in the passenger seat. I asked him how he was doing when I saw him in the pub and he nearly broke down. No-one had asked before and it had been pretty shocking experience.

So your character spent 1,500 as an immortal Serpent Queen making all the same decisions (including, I presume, some pretty horrendous ones) and they were just happy to change back to their original form?

They’d annoy me, sounds like I can stick with Gen X for now…

Now I’m wondering if that’s what’s happening with me and I’m the one sending Boomer messages…
