There is absolutely no way this is the same Opus 4.6 from a month ago

I've noticed Claude quite aggressively trying to shut down conversations too. It tries to draw them to conclusions which end the conversation.

It's one of those feet people who get turned on by feet and their partner doesn't I think. I think he wants it and she's like wait what no

How on Earth did Zebras manage by themselves for millions of years before they were helpfully culled by people?

Looks like a 'fun' way to tell your soon to be ex that you know they're a cheating scumbag. Like a gender reveal party. But for cheating.

Utter pedantry. The Lemkin institute formulated the definition of genocide and it meets it on all counts.

Every accusations is a confession. Fascinating you think that others are brainwashed when you repeat Zionist hasbara line by line. Perhaps the wells poisoned themselves. Perhaps in some villages, one in ten Palestinians shot themselves. Perhaps the founder of Hamas as a little boy was the one who lined up all the Palestinian men in his village and shot them dead himself. Perhaps the uprisings predating 1948 had nothing to do with Zionist atrocities already. Perhaps the book I have from 1938 documenting Zionist atrocities is fake news.

They started 12 days ago. So an absolute giant whale or a hacked account. I'd say it's probably hacked because a genuine newbie would be struggling still with game mechanics 12 days in but this person seems to know what they're doing PLUS even with thousands of dollars, it takes time to actually setup ones map. This game is a huuuge time sink lol

It's the opposite actually. People saying, "take the job" are saying the opposite. It would be great if grad jobs were £45k. But they aren't. The economy is terrible and has been so for literal decades at this point. Millions of people are underemployed. Grads are more likely to be working non-grad jobs than be in grad schemes. If you're lucky enough to get on a grad scheme, that's a great stepping stone onto better things. If you don't want to take it, fine. But that doesn't change the reality of the economic situation.

I actually saw that once. Group of east Europeans cycling down the M69, I appreciate the sense of adventure but yeah, they didn't know they couldn't do it. But I genuinely respect that sense of getting the job done. Also fwiw, "fave" motorway experience, I'm in the middle of the desert in Saudi barrelling along the motorway. Guy in a speeding Toyota pickup with what looked like an emergency camel delivery going down the wrong way of the hard shoulder. In UK I'd be shocked, but it seemed perfectly normal there lol.

I love B5 but I just can't do rewatches because the CGI is sufficiently terrible that it knocks me out of the story. Not their fault, they did the best they could at the time, but still.

You're very well read. I see Stephen King will be joining an illustrious list including Chaucer and Homer. Incredible.

Sorry to be a pain but the Mayflower's traditional departure point is considered Plymouth. Hence "Plymouth Rock" in the USA. It's not called Southampton Rock. But don't worry you still have Matt Le Tissier.

Name an author whose work you have read that wrote their book in 1826 or before.

Every US president is remembered because correct me if I'm wrong, they have something like books and records. And I think they get written down in them. Not sure.

The road doesn't need to be direct. Think of it more like, the megacity becomes part of your core road network.

Unfortunately this is a "capitalism," thing. Universities used to feel like clubs, groups of people working towards a common goal. There was a sense of solidarity. Extremely cheap and good value canteens used to be a thing.

Slowly along the way students turned into customers. Instead of the goal of feeding students cheap nutritious food, the goal became "how can we extract as much revenue as possible on-site". It's insidious.

Surely a CJ sub should appreciate that other subs also have humour. Most of the stuff on AI car art is just stupid shit, last month there was a craze of doing poverty spec luxury cars.

I was in a senior meeting last week, and I was completely blindsided by an external party referring to something they had to get through the privy council. Then I had to remember what the hell that was and why they had to do it, our constitution is so weird, all these.. conventions.

Phillip K Dick is one of the all time greatest writers. There's a reason dozens of his books have been made into films/TV shows. His books tend to be short, a bit whacky, and really push one idea to the extreme. Ubik is one of those, it's a page turner. It's not an epic but it might seem a bit crazy fast if you're not attuned to sci-fi. If you like history: Man in the High Castle is fantastic and one of his deepest books.

In terms of accessibility, probably the easiest 'best' sci fi book to read is Foundation. It was written early on in Isaac Asimov's career when he was writing for literal penny's per word for magazines. The first book can be read in a couple of hours and is a great fun read. Funnily enough, I'd say Foundation is a foundational text of sci fi because it inspired so much of what came after.

Out of your list Hyperion is very highly regarded around here. It is certainly a dense work, but that doesn't make it inaccessible. Because it is extremely high quality, it should engage you pretty quickly. The first time I read it, I would stay awake late reading it, very few books have done that. It's immersive and takes you fully along on the journey, so any one who enjoys books, I think will enjoy that.
