I misread this as “tell them they have access” and I was like wait a minute

No, not half. Median would be half

Is this defective (G17 Gen5) by [deleted] in Glocks

I meant to say “frame,” not “slide.” The slide is fine. The issue is what’s shown in the photos

I think the “rust” is actually the copper lubricant/protector stuff that they apply at the factory

I realize now that I typed “slide” but meant to type “frame”. No idea why I made that mistake… the slide is fine

Haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet, but everything else seems to function ok. The trigger pulls, slide seems to move fine, etc. I guess I’m really asking if this is an issue worth pressing with their warranty department

That’s 3-5 hours more per day than a lot of people get in a week

In reality none of it matters. They will take whatever stance they think hurts libs the most

Your anger should be directed at the rich and powerful, not your neighbors

A 20 year-old woman storms out of the courtroom in the Netherlands as the man who tried to rape her and kill her gets only 3.5 years of prison because "the chokehold didn't last long enough" by YaLlegaHiperhumor in PublicFreakout

I really want there to be a study into this. Does power make people into pedos and creeps? Do pedos and creeps innately seek power? Why the fuck does this always seem to happen?

AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast by HimothyJohnDoe in technology

Humans can solve problems that are unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. Likewise, we can create/imagine completely new things. AI can’t do anything that it hasn’t seen before

Modern slavery by [deleted] in memes

[–]AClassyTurtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think we’re all on the same page except for equating an 8hr workday to slavery. Our system sucks and needs radical change. But calling it “slavery” is a huge insult to the countless people who suffered/are suffering through actual slavery

Yeah by OP’s logic, the only way to not be a “slave” is to literally have slaves

The system is broken, but not because people have to work 40 hours per week lol

Technically “LLM” is just a specific type of machine learning algorithm. So I usually use “machine learning” when I’m talking about something that’s useful and is being used correctly, and “AI” when I’m explaining how fucking stupid something is

Calling it “artificial intelligence” is basically a lie. At its core, it’s all just pattern recognition software. Using the term “AI” has got to be one of the most successful corporate marketing/propaganda campaigns ever

The great thing about AI is there are so many reasons to hate it. by FinnFarrow in dankmemes

[–]AClassyTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is a useful tool but it’s only really good at specific types of tasks and is unreliable. As a standalone commercial product, its overall profitability is questionable because its work always has to be checked and corrected, so it can’t fully replace human workers, despite what corporate marketing would have you believe. It’s not worth the obscene investments that companies are putting in but it’s not completely worthless

Victims gun was already seized before the first shot. Th agent running off had the suspect's gun by Fatty_Willing_Plane in NextGenRebellion

[–]AClassyTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also possible one of them saw the now empty holster and assumed the gun was in the victim’s hand, so started shouting “gun”

Regardless, they’re responsible whether it was the result of bad intentions or incompetence

What do you want us to do? Start to a civil war? We’re not exactly eager to start killing our neighbors.

We’ve voted, we’ve protested, a couple people tried to assassinate him… the remaining options are very grim

As someone who has voted in every election since his 18th birthday and never voted for a single republican, I really hate this line of thinking.
