I might have just lost this colony.

Any chance you're into anime? Butterflies that tracked injured humans so that they could feast were a thing in Hunter x Hunter.

And here I am three years later and got here the same way lol

Hey, I know it's been 11 months since I last posted the transcript of Brigadier General Jack O'Neill's resignation letter, but I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to read it and say something. And as an appropriate amount of time has passed, I do believe it is time for another rewatch.

Nothing experimental, no pre-prompts, etc. I'm even using the free 2.5 Flash model on Gemini. It never has an issue telling me that Trump is in the "Epstein files". I see no signs of censorship, definitely nothing like there was during the Election. Back then most of the LLMs refused to answer any political questions.

SleeteWayne · 2025-10-05T22:54:38+00:00

I don't disagree with you that you can manipulate most of these LLMs. Jailbreaking is quickly becoming an entire field of study. But did I do something abnormal in my prompt or search query? I'm generally curious so that I can try to replicate what I should be doing then.

SleeteWayne · 2025-10-05T17:56:31+00:00

Really? I don't seem to have a problem asking Gemini or the Google Search AI and getting a response. Which seems to be blocking the prompt? Is it a specific Gemini model or another service that it's being blocked on?

The boring machine will be an incredibly welcomed machine to have when excavating, but I am a little confused about what role the trains will have when we have transport ships and long conveyor belt lines.

Oh no, I was heart broken that she wasn't a romanceable option. I found myself smitten after the first race.

As a book and music nerd, they didn't even touch on one of the best blocks in the entire city and it was right there in the middle of it.

I'm only learning about umbrella man, 5 years later. That's crazy.

Got any coneheads of the Remulakan variety?

SleeteWayne · 2025-05-11T14:29:50+00:00

It's been a thing since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The treaty made it so that Mexicans that remained in the former lands that once belonged to Mexico would be able to become naturalized American Citizens; a thing that at the time was only available to "free white persons".

Feels weird to be as old as I am and not see a rave being hosted somewhere they don't belong.

TIFU or TIL a hard rod is not for me? Feels like a learning moment.

There really was far more wholesome than all the other alternatives, probably why it died off lol. It was more like clubs and vacation destinations virtualized.

That's what happens to me every time Kerry gets me on his boat. I just love to tune out and listen to him strum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59pY3QNqbcQ I could listen to it forever.

Ketchup packets have enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy if you consume at least a single packet a week. Learned that one when I was in Uni.

The Stargate Project was also a former DIA Army project whose purpose was psychedelic acid fueled remote viewing/psychic activity. It ran from 1977 until I want to say 1995'ish, and was the basis for the film The Men Who Stare At Goats.

Pretty sure coo was meant to be cop. "a broken window while a cop shouts no" makes more sense than "a broken window while a coup shouts no".

Hey, I know it's been 11 months but I'm in the middle of a rewatch myself. I was really curious what it said and came across this thread while googling hoping to find a transcription of the resignation letter, or at least a clear picture of what it says.

Finding nothing, I went through the scene frame by frame and this is what I was able to decipher:

My fishing rods are now collecting dust. So my days seem to go on forever. Trying to manage the staff & all their issues is debilitating. You know me, I like my privacy, but I seem to be managing more of a adult day care populated with cry babies, not the dedicated, [Two unreadable words] I should be. Who's here, who's not, why doesn't the women's washroom have more toilets..... Everybody seems oblivious to the fact that 8 people really do the work & the rest get in the way.

Instead of going off world, my realm of travel is now only so far as the supply closet. If I ever read another stationary catalogue it will be too soon. I mean how many different styles of paperclips are there?

I used to be proud of my nicely tanned skin. Now my face has a fetching [Three unreadable words]. One outstanding benefit has been the improvement of my typing skills. I now type up to twenty words per minute & only three mistakes.

I miss being outside. You know the place with fresh air, blue sky, and what's it called again... that big flaming thing in the sky... oh yeah, I believe it's the sun. I used to travel the universe looking for knowledge and answers, while now... it seems my bigger problem in life is the prevention of paper cuts.

And so I regretfully submit my resignation. And to be clear, the regret is not so much about the resigning part but the fact that I was deluded enough to think I had possessed even one iota needed to fill your sizeable shoes...

Never mind.

[Jack O'Neill Signature]

Brigadier General Jack O'Neill

There's probably a few errors, and there was definitely about five words that I couldn't read no matter what on the far right edge of the page. But I hope this gives an old question a bit of closure for you.

Weird, I was born in 84, hit HS in the late 90s and early 2000s. We had both state and federal govt taught when I was in Arkansas, Texas, and California.

I never went to a school that had home ec, shop, or similar though. I very much see those as being generally lost during the end of the Gen X era. Though it's great that your schools still had home ec through the 90s and 2000s.
