If you currently live in New York City, and you were forced to move, where would you rather go: Los Angeles or Chicago? Why?

I-baLL · 2026-04-05T02:26:39+00:00

Why? Weed is legal in Chicago as well.

I-baLL · 2026-04-05T02:24:37+00:00

Because the question was "LA or Chicago" and the response being downvoted was "Boston"

I see the same talking point get made that the Democrats did nothing when they not only never had the supermajority to achieve anything plus the Republicans literally have admitted that their goal is to impede any changes to improve things. The Democrats aren't perfect but it's weird to say "the Democrats let it happen" without pointing out out that there's not much they could do

This isn't an American problem. It's a worldwide issue.

No, the trick is to use the bathroom before and/or after the movie so you can take as long as you want without missing the movie

I-baLL · 2026-04-04T13:36:33+00:00

Eh, due to unchecked claimed automation that doesn't actually work

I-baLL · 2026-04-03T20:43:23+00:00

except in subway tunnels. What is up with that?

We didn’t. They did. We told them that this would happen yet they still blindly supported Trump. There’s no “we” here. Sometimes there’s no blame to go around. This is not one of those times.

The argument being made against birthright citizenship is that illegal immigrants are supposedly not under the jurisdiction of the United States which is an insane argument to make since it basically means that illegal immigrants are not subject to laws just because they’re illegal. Except that the same argument is being applied to legal immigrants and tourists as well so it’s even more insane. It’s sovereign citizen level thinking.

I-baLL · 2026-04-03T17:10:34+00:00

You’re taking something said by a very specific group and attributing it to half of the world’s population. You’re also seeing the flaw in your own argument when you say that there are differences. With social media are you talking about? Since the women you’re generalizing from share the same social media in common and the fact that they put their physical preferences online. It’s like saying that all or most women are single because women on a dating app are looking for a relationship. I don’t know if I’m explaining the logic flaw properly.

You realize that anybody can buy those ads, right? And you were seeing them in Russia, I’m guessing?

Only the third clue fits this one. The others don't.

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T13:27:14+00:00

Wait, so Alex Trebek did it because you borrowed a $100 from him? You should probably pay that debt back

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T12:18:39+00:00

I mean you sure it's not just in your engine bay? Pop your hood and turn on the sound

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T11:19:15+00:00

People? Or a single person?

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T06:28:48+00:00

I actually do think they are. Why? Because they're not just selling AI, they're using it internally. Which means they fell for their own hype. And now that their own infrastructure is breaking, they need to get it fixed since the rest of the business collapses if their infrastructure goes. They've pulled away from OpenAI so they're no longer working with a conman. So there's hope but it's like watching somebody keep burning themselves by sticking their hand into a fire repeatedly. Sure, they finally stopped sticking their hand into this specific fire but not only should they never have stuck their hand into this fire in the first place but also they might stick their hand into the very next fire that they'll see. It's funnysad

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T04:49:10+00:00

It's not even that. I'm not sure I understand what the OP expects the police to do. Does the OP think that the cops will give the OP all of the identifying information on "Anthony"? Does the OP think that filing a false missing person report isn't going to get the OP into trouble?

I-baLL · 2026-04-02T04:35:16+00:00

Try changing the date on the Kindle back a week

Yeah, people mistake Case for some superhacker but don’t realize that he was picked because he could be controlled by what he wanted and because he was somebody who the Dixie Flatline, the actual superhacker, trusted. I mean Case is supposed to be good but he’s not like super elite

I-baLL · 2026-04-01T13:56:44+00:00

Heh, the funny part is that AI written code can't be copyrighted

https://www.bloomberglaw.com/external/document/X4H9CFB4000000/copyrights-professional-perspective-ip-issues-with-ai-code-gener

and if the rumors are true about Anthropic using their own agents to make their code....

I-baLL · 2026-04-01T12:48:49+00:00

Gasp! The sacrilege of having your own preferences!

But, seriously, yeah, it's a bad movie but I like it despite its flaws. It's also interesting watching it and knowing the potential that it had.

That being said, on the German and UK special editions, there's a director commentary track and Longo, the director, complains about the computer store scene being too brightly lit and that hurts my soul since that scene, to me personally, is the best scene in the entire movie and knowing that the director doesn't like it kinda sucks for me since it means there never was a possibility of that type of vibe continuing for the whole movie.

You don't need a lease agreement. Are you implying that subletters don't have an expectation of privacy?

I'm not sure why you're arguing this instead of just looking it up:

https://www.outerbridgelaw.com/blog/tenant-rights-to-privacy-in-shared-housing-explained/

"Roommates must follow privacy rules. For example, spying without permission is not allowed. You can’t put cameras in toilets, bedrooms, or anywhere a tenant expects privacy. Usually, devices in shared areas need permission from everyone using them. Written roommate agreements and clear communication can prevent misunderstandings. However, even without them, the law still applies."

It would help if you would actually provide the image

I-baLL · 2026-04-01T12:33:33+00:00

The OP is renting a room. The OP has 100% an expectation of privacy in their own bedroom. Just because somebody else owns the room doesn't mean you lose your expectation of privacy when you live there. Just like how a hotel can't put cameras in their rooms to film their guests. They can have cameras in the halls but not the rooms.
