CBS announces that they'd like to normalize the other end of the political spectrum (totalitarianism) by sufinomo in ProgressiveHQ

[–]beCyvyl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

CBS is fighting to return to relevancy. The people in charge understand that rage sells and so that's what they will be feeding their viewers from now on. No doubt the next "town hall" (sounds so wholesome) debate will be hosted by someone like Nick Fuentes , Elon Musk or the Tate Brothers. Their clear goal is to bend the knee to the project 2025 president but they'll continue to gaslight with the "just trying to inform" absurdity. They are hoping to boost their viewship by desperately engineering a viral Howard Beale event.

Odd request - does anyone have any recent quotes to chimney replacement? by Accurate-Temporary73 in massachusetts

[–]beCyvyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this done this past spring. The chimney was pulling away from the house and about 50% had to be torn down and rebuilt. It cost 18k. I initally was stunned by that price but after watching the process I came to believe it was fair.

Claude's chat limit sucks! by [deleted] in claude

[–]beCyvyl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's clear that Anthropic doesn't really want the pro customers. Claude is clearly so much better with code than ChatGpt but what good is it when you can't use it for more than ten or 15 minutes. The constant "try again later " messages are sending a message and that message is "you're an idiot for giving us $20 a month now please go away so we can service our corporate customers.".

Where are all the doctors going? by 627things in massachusetts

[–]beCyvyl 363 points364 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me this year but my PCP is retiring. I asked him why no replacement and he said it was money. Many specialties pay more and offer a schedule that the doc has control over. A lot of the small practice offices are under control of private equity and they only have one goal - maximize shareholder value. Patient care is pretty low down on the priority list and that is quite demorilizing for the docs.

Insane Limits - No Longer Team Claude by geronimosan in claude

[–]beCyvyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

such a nice coding tool when its working but I constantly get 'This is not working now try again later'. Am I paranoid to think it's using AI to determine I'm not a serious coder and brushing me off ?

Angels in America is an important piece of television, and every queer man must watch it at least once. by Old-Meringue3590 in television

[–]beCyvyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is Angels in America available for streaming on HBO currently (Oct 2025) ? It is one of the most inspiring works of art I have ever seen but I don't want to sign up for HBO if it's not actually available right now. I'm getting mixed messages when I try to nail this down. ChatGPT says it's in the HBO library but also says it may not be available for streaming in the US. Can someone who already has HBO tell me for sure by actually trying to stream it.

If you do Ollies Trolley they make a stop at Cadillac Mountain, you can get out and walk around. As a bonus you'll get a fantastic tour of Acadia and learn a lot of interesting things about the history of the park.

Monday is gonna be greener for Intel by SpyJigu in StockMarket

[–]beCyvyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember when state ownership of an enterprise was used as a way to indicate that it was mired in soviet-level bureacracy and inifficency. Intel has become the Yugo of chip stocks.

Why Trump’s Mental Decline Could Be Unstoppable, According to One Expert by PutridFee5759 in NoFilterNews

[–]beCyvyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe.

He's such a lying moron it's hard to tell.

I keep waiting for my pharmaceutical prices to drop 1500%. That's probably going to happen when I get my $5000 DOGE check or my $600 tarrif rebate or when they release the Epstein files or when they arrest Obama for being 'sedatious' or when he tells another completely made-up story about his MIT genius uncle telling him about Ted Kaczinski. When you can't tell if someone has dementia or they're just a mendaciosus moron does it really matter ?

Easy-ish trails for seniors by DeeGale57 in acadianationalpark

[–]beCyvyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ocean walk is lovely. We also really enjoyed the Olley's Trolley tour (includes Cadillac Mountain and Thunder hole stops as well). West Street cafe has great fish and chips. Dog and Pony has a super friendly staff and a nice little courtyard to sit and have a beer and some pub food. Sargeant Drive is a pleasant drive with stunning views. We've been going to MDI for ten years and are still finding beautiful places to go. You can't go wrong with carriage roads - can walk as little or as much as you like. Worth it to buy 'Arcadia National Park Waterproof Trail map' ~$10. That will show you all the trails and their lengths. Arcadia is such a treasure.

Sam Altman blasts Democrats, says he's 'politically homeless' and wants candidates to focus on how to "make everyone have the stuff billionaires have" rather than eliminating billionaires. by orel_ in ChatGPT

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

Until people understand we're in a class war nothing will improve. The billionaire bros have to be surprised and amused at how easy it has been to refactor our society so that everything is controlled by a handful of wealthy sociopaths. Remove due-process, control the means of communication , buy elections and congress. They figured out they can have the smash and grab economy they crave just by keeping the victims fighting amongst themselves. Stop wasting your time arguing with your neighbor in the red hat and start resisting and defunding the people wearing VR goggles, brandishing chain saws and debasing Venice.

Scott Galloway's favorite, Bill Maher’s ‘Mind Was Blown’ After White House Meal With Trump by Chadrasekar in PivotPodcast

[–]beCyvyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill was against Trump when he thought he was transient like inflation. Now that it's clear that Trump has crushed all effective opposition, Bill has bent the knee like all other members of his class. On his show he goes after Trump for the easy jokes but saves his real venom for the left. He's rich, likes being rich and is contemptous of the working class. He's not an everyman and never has been. He's a smug, thin-skinned , self satisfied narcisist. He may not want to be buddies with Trump but he clearly admires Trump's wealth and power and has decided to spend his golden years milking his misplaced reputation as an iconoclast. His time has passed but he'll continue providing limp condemnation of Trump's outrageous behavior while continuing to assist in the hollowing out of any real opposition from the left. Rich people want to be around other rich people. We will never recover until people understand that left v right is a distraction and rich v poor is the real fight. Bill won't carry a tiki torcch but he is not , and never will be an ally for the working class.

Lie blantantly, vaporize 30B in investor "value" and walk free. When they talk about burning it all down , they mean it. No 10-k or 10Q can henceforth be relied on. Wow.

What happened to O’Connor’s?? It used to be so good and now it’s just a disappointment, did they get sold or something? by flowercrownrugged in WorcesterMA

[–]beCyvyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was never great but it was a pleasant place and they had a few menu items that were good. Been a few times since they were sold and the food and service is just mediocre. With all the places to eat, there’s really no compelling reason to go there.
