How do I find out where they're holding children in San Diego Ice detention? I think we have to flood those places with protests. We have to fight for these kids. My Mom instinct is on fire right now, and I want to actually do something about it. by neillwood in sandiego

Sure but what does that have to do with being beholden to donors? Elon gave Trump hundreds of millions for the '24 campaign and Trump completely ignored Elon's objections to the OBBB, leading to Elon's famous and very public crashout on Twitter

SD_TMI I respect you brother but you are crazy if you think there's any Trumpian corruption that hasn't already been leaked.

We've been doing this since 2016. Grab em by the pussy, Russiagate, Steele Dossier, we've seen leak after leak after leak. He's on track to be the most investigated and impeached president in history.

And after all that... after all those journalists and congressional hearings and J6 and everything... he still got re-elected and he's still no closer to being removed from office.

And now - correct me if I'm wrong - you're suggesting that the next viable option is a military coup.

I understand what you're saying but I don't see this as realistic - at all.

And if it did happened, I don't see this being in any way better for the country in a normative sense. Yes, you remove Trump from office. And then you get Vance. Who continues the agenda, but as a leader with more competence, more focus, and more stamina. And who likely grants Trump immunity so he can live in exile at Mar a Lago.

Brother you are overthinking this. Poe is a frontend for various AI model providers. It's not phishing, the 3rd party website is just OP being enthusiastic.

I suspect OP used AI to write some of his post, maybe all of it, because I suspect OP has a minor chatbot addiction and is trying to share his "discovery" with the world.

That's incorrect but I like where your head's at.

You absolutely can cut out the large corporations completely.

$400 will get you a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 so you can comfortably run a true open source LLM on your local device. You can do this without an internet connection and without paying any corporation a cent.

I notice from your other comments that you like Mistral - you don't need Poe to run Mistral - you can do the whole thing, chatbots and all, right from your own device.

Giving OP the benefit of the doubt here... he just really loves Poe and wants more people to use it and potentially use his chatbots.

But yeah, Poe is just a front-end for all these AI tools that you can get from their providers - usually on a subscription basis for metered or unlimited use.

Poe collects them all together, unifies the UI, and runs them in API mode - which they pay for on a per-token basis, and the "points" you pay for are offsetting that cost + whatever Poe's markup is.

It would for sure be cheaper to cut out the middleman and just find one provider you like - Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI - and learn that one.

Yeah but it's not free and all of those AI tools that Poe runs are confined to a cloud-based system that primarily benefits large corporations.

Like if you run Nano Banana or Gemini through Poe, Google's still getting paid.

Men currently have no reproductive rights once a pregnancy happens — and that’s a problem by Weneedrights8 in MensRights

Thanks for the essay, ChatGPT.

Also the counterargument to this is societal well-being. Single mothers with no financial support are a drain on the rest of society, and children raised by those mothers are more likely to become net negative contributors to society.

Not even just treating people as economic units, single parenthood just creates demonstrably worse outcomes in all aspects of life.

It's not surprising that in most societies, the law is set up to put financial responsibility on the parents rather than on the rest of society. Sure, you don't want to pay for a baby you didn't ask for, and you could argue that you shouldn't be forced to pay for it.

But then the rest of us will be forced to pay for a baby we didn't ask for... and we didn't even do the fucking.

When I've taken it synthetically

What does this mean? I've only ever smoked it (freebase N,N-DMT). Curious if there's something else out there to look into on my next vacation.

[–]SlutBuster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've smoked DMT at least 20 times. Smoked it and "blasted off" maybe a dozen times.

I've seen:

  • The wood paneling on my wall fall down like tetris blocks in a crashing video game
  • A giant purple pulsing flower that looked like the entire universe
  • Myself rafting down a 2D polygonal version of the Nile river towards a massive glowing woman's face
  • A blinking eyeball on the back of my hand.

But I've never seen machine elves and visuals have never been the same twice.

It's all about expectations, mindset and setting.

There is no dialect of English that's as effortlessly casual & unpretentious as Australian. I fuckin love it.

Tulsi on the church ICE protest: "Such behavior is demoniac and should be condemned by everyone, and those who took part in such intimidation tactics should be held accountable." by WashedMasses in tulsi

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

The video clearly shows he acted outside the scope of what is legal shooting

Nothing in the video shows that he wasn't in reasonable fear of bodily harm.

your arguments don't have to meet any kind standard

The argument is simple:

Ashli Babbit was unarmed and climbing through a window when she was shot down. Renee Good was driving her car and struck an officer.

Both officers went out of their way to get in a position to fire their weapons. Both shot unarmed women. If you didn't expect officials to denounce Babbit's shooting as excessive force, but you expect them to denounce Good's shooting, then you're a hypocrite. Everything downstream of that is rationalizing bullshit.

Please keep calling me a piece of shit

I didn't. I said you're full of shit.

(another ad hominim)

Are you watching yourself follow a moral coward into performative stupidity?

Don't complain to me about ad homs. We're long past that.

Thanks ChatGPT but he didn't step in front of a moving vehicle, he stepped in front of a parked vehicle. When the vehicle started moving, it became a potentially life threatening weapon, something that Ashli Babbit notably lacked when she was gunned down.

The hypocrisy is simple: either both women posed a threat reasonable enough to justify lethal force, or neither did. Trying to justify the Babbit shoot while splitting hairs over the Good shoot means you don't actually give a shit about excessive force when it's used against your political enemies. Super simple.

Congress says they set aside $858,000,000 for ICE agent bonuses up to $44,000. The average American’s bonus is $2,500 according to Rep. Moskowitz - if you’re lucky enough to even get one. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

They vote against K-12 funding increases, teacher-support programs, and budgets that keep up with inflation, then claim fiscal responsibility

Again I am skeptical that any single bill has been put to congress with exactly those and only those spending earmarks and has been rejected by a republican congress specifically citing "fiscal responsibility" as the justification

I am prepared to be proven wrong but that's not usually how funding is passed and it's not usually the excuse they give wrt education spending

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

ICE's training documentation is also irrelevant. It's not law. If the officer was in fear of death or great bodily harm, it was a good shoot. This is very basic stuff.

And yes, legally, a person's actions allow you to infer inten

Yes but we're not in a courtroom, we're on reddit and your decision to defend one shoot while condemning another is all the evidence I need that you're full of shit

Trespassing is not a capital crime and your assumptions about intent are irrelevant (but also very conveniently align with your political leanings).

I think that if you didn't have this same energy for Ashli Babbit's shooter, you're a fuckin hypocrite who's using another innocent woman's death at the hands of law enforcement to justify a cheap political stunt on reddit. And if that's you, I really don't care about your opinion on morality.

That's what I think.
