Not gonna go back and search for “AI” but when I read the thread hours ago there were multiple back and forth comments criticizing/defending use of ChatGPT (which is what I meant by “AI” in this case), and this was not at all the point of OP’s post.

No, I said I don’t think the word “master” is inherently offensive - after all, my wife has a master’s degree. But to answer OP’s question, I’ve switched to “main” as my git branch because that seems to be the new convention.

I personally don’t think the word “master” should be considered offensive - my wife has a master’s degree in deaf education - but I’ve switched to “main” because that seems to be the convention now and it really doesn’t have to be an issue.

Yes, something that’s like something else is also literally like it, because literally emphasizes that it’s really true. But “I literally died laughing” is wrong unless you’re actually dead.

That’s what the word “figuratively” is for. You don’t say fat to mean figuratively thin.

In the US the term “informed electorate” is a joke. Big elections are advertising competitions. Or in the most recent case voting machine hacking.

They mean as opposed to inherited, not in the way you mean it.

I used it to get some big decals off a car I bought.

Even if you’re not going to Puerto Rico you can volunteer to escort adopted pets all over the place. Just contact animal shelters and rescue organizations and let them know you’re willing.

My guess is never. He’ll have his final Big Mac Attack and sidestep justice the way he’s been doing all his life.

“Step in?” Well, because the world isn’t run by a mom and dad who step in and make governments do the right things.

ChatGPT was mentioned and now the thread is all about AI being good/bad, as usual.

Anyway, I’m glad you got your server going - hope you enjoy your flight!

I would just turn the machine back on and wait longer.

<Page Not Found> on your link. But yeah it would be great if competition were about improvements.

No confusion at all, I was talking about car company bailouts only, since the other person mentioned “all the bailouts US car manufacturers received”. I think the Bush/Obama thing you’re referring to was TARP, which was for financial institutions.

To clarify, the bailouts of US car companies were Chrysler around 1980 and GM and Chrysler around 2008. To help them avoid bankruptcy and the resulting loss of jobs, they received loan guarantees (like having a cosigner) and direct loans, all of which they paid back. I think the public generally has a misconception that a corporate “bailout” means they just giving them money, but it doesn’t.

Note - I’m not trying to convince you not to hate corporations, and there’s no need for a lecture on how evil they are, I know they are. Just clarifying that one topic.

I’m not sure how repairable EVs are either, since my 2013 Leaf never needed repairs in 12 years. Just tires and wiper blades.

Capitalism is all about competition unless it’s not.

In my defense I have ADHD.

Fair enough. [looks for d20]
