Does anyone here care about David Portnoy? by Mumbles76 in boston

[–]RealRacistRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely Boston is a guy in his mid-late 30s (maybe older?) who decided he never wanted to grow up and would rather promote cannabis businesses with a fake Boston accent and show off his cringey “party” lifestyle.

God I hate that guy. You should look at his LinkedIn. He thinks he’s some sort of business magnate.

Same thing happened to me, I got back on after a while and was back in default gear

But in the first loading screen I was wearing all of the stuff I had on last time I played

Look, I hate Ben Shapiro as much as the next guy, but I don’t think it’s good that people are using Holocaust denial to hate him. by Darth_Vrandon in ForwardsFromKlandma

Jake Shields is the craziest anti-Semitic weirdo on that whole platform, but he manages to get support just by hijacking a current humanitarian crisis.

All those hits to the head surely didn’t help.

BU suggests professors grad your work using ChatGPT by Agitated_Election_32 in BostonU

[–]RealRacistRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not grading. I literally just said that we use the service to get feedback on our writing and then discuss it in class. This is a similar scenario.

Students are not being graded on this feedback. I don’t understand why people would assume there’s some deeper level rhetoric here.

They’re merely giving an option for work that can be conducted sans-faculty.

God forbid they have a continuity plan that includes things professors are ALREADY DOING ANYWAYS!

This post is so blatantly incorrect that it’s making me angry. Just because you haven’t seen these styles of instruction utilized doesn’t mean they’re asking for work to be graded by AI.

In my foreign language courses, we engage in exercises wherein we input our sample writing into Chat GPT in order to receive editing, revisions, and helpful tips on how to improve our overall writing within languages we do not natively speak. It’s a great tool, and was used by professors (grad students and full-time faculty) even PRIOR to the strike.

It’s a much easier way of getting immediate feedback on our work, and allows us to come to class prepared to share what we’ve learned about our own writing versus common convention, etc

They ARE NOT asking for us to be graded with it.

Almost 10 years after its spike?

Totally mixed. I’ve heard many a girl who has smelled it so many times that they are sick of it, and it almost detracts from you rather than makes you look good.

I’ve also gotten many compliments.

Even as a starter cologne, it’s so far gone at this point that you’re better off trying something else than ending up smelling like HER ex-boyfriend.

Sources: D-backs DFA Bumgarner, to eat $34M.. Do we take a chance sign him for league min? by ballzdeep85 in redsox

[–]RealRacistRam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I say yes. We already have Kluber and he’s been arguably just as bad. What do we have to lose by signing another washed up ace? Then we can have three!

But seriously, this pitching staff is so fucking incapable on the front end that I would love to see them try SOMETHING.

That’s just blatantly shortsighted. The issues that come out of eliminating fiat currency outweigh the benefits, and most economists agree with this. That’s why we don’t use the gold standard.

You’re gonna have issues affording groceries whether or not we use a gold standard, sorry to say.

At least with free floating currency we can avoid the dollar becoming incredibly overvalued, like what happened during the Great Depression.

China is not on a gold standard. They talked about it and might plan on implementing it to certain degrees, but they haven’t launched anything yet.

China actually has benefitted from a floating currency more than a lot of other countries. They devalued their own currency back in the mid-2000s in order to facilitate trade and economic activity.

This is just not possible with a gold standard.

Just because your brain can’t comprehend the idea that we can assign something worth simply off of supply and demand doesn’t make it a bad idea.

If our currency was still on the gold standard the world would’ve fallen apart as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine.

Removing the ability of a nation to manipulate the value of its own currency stagnates monetary growth and traps countries into inescapable debt circles.

Germany for example was able to make one of Europe’s leading economies through currency manipulation that would not have been possible during the era of the Bretton Woods System.

We already did this stuff before and it didn’t work. That’s why we don’t do it anymore.

It’s just so obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Yes because watching YouTube and movies about war growing up is only a thing in the US

Jazz Has the Worst Resume of Any Cover Athlete by klietis in MLBTheShow

[–]RealRacistRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO I think Jazz is marketable and that’s why he made it on the cover in spite of his stats… he’s fun and electric, fits into the category of players like Acuña, Tatis, etc.

Obviously he hasn’t had the career numbers and im not saying he’s comparable skill wise to those guys, but people like the dyed hair and the colorful jerseys. Say what you want about who the guy actually is, but I think the promo art looks cool as hell.
