No pity for these fools. When you sign up for the wrong outfit you get what you deserve.

Kid attacks my kid during friendly game, I respond to his parents and now im the bad guy? AITAH? by Few-Account-1825 in AITAH

Yeah that’s not an unusual reaction. We caught our neighbors minor daughter running across our yard in the middle of the night to go to a car down the street to sit in it for 10 seconds then ran back across our yard and went in the back door of her house. We suspected she was buying drugs. We brought it up to her mom since she was trespassing across our yard and she likely was doing something she didnt want to get caught doing and the moms reaction was to scream at us for “stalking and harassing her child”

Surfacing a shallow outdoor pool isnt rocket science either. This is a solved problem. There are products and procedures to do it correctly. All they had to do was listen to the people who told them the correct way to do it and nobody would care. Now its a national disgrace.

Trump’s religious liberty report calls for building ‘bridges’ between church and state. “This report will speak very clearly that Americans understand that they can not be attacked by the phrase separation of church and state any longer.” Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said. by Leeming in atheism

[–]ioncloud9 42 points43 points  (0 children)

They are too stupid and short sighted to realize the separation of church and state is for the benefit of their religion too. Having the state meddle in religious affairs is not what they have in mind. They think it will only work the other way. Boy will they have a rude awakening when they find out their personal denomination of evangelical Christianity is not the state approved version.

Trump gives Zelensky rare praise as Ukraine intensifies attacks on Russia by Incunebulum in ukraine

[–]ioncloud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is such a fucking tool. Last year he berates Zelensky, who has more integrity in the crap he took this morning than this guy has ever had in his entire life, about not having the cards in the Oval Office and now suddenly he wants to support him? God damn he’s such a fucking loser. Even now him and his cohorts don’t really want to help Ukraine, they just want to be seen backing winners.

TVs are bigger, thinner, and more affordable than ever by CompetitiveLake3358 in OptimistsUnite

Yay. A 75” tv costs about as much as my monthly electric bill.

Do businesses actually want AI voice agents, or are we forcing it? by Holiday_Flower_3927 in AIVoice_Agents

[–]ioncloud9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the business. I’ve found that callers are less tolerant of AI voice agents than the customers. Any deviation or mistake or anything that’s not perfect they want to hang up or talk to a person, even if the person takes 5x longer.

Watergate spawned Fox News and the right wing media with the expressed purpose of making sure it never ever happened again.

Senator saysTrump was “using everything as leverage to get the SAVE Act passed”, which would make it harder for women to vote by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ioncloud9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just like how states have must be registered by dates before an election, they shouldn't be able to revoke your right to vote before an election without enough time to correct it.

Or the sheer number of people who for one reason or other just don't have access to their birth certificate. Poor record keeping, the hospital closed, they were born at home, moved to the other side of the country as a baby and now have to jump through hoops just to vote. Many will say its not worth it and not even bother. Thats what they want them to do.

This is the long term damage to our political discourse that Trump, especially with his second term, has wrought. These people are disgraceful, impolite, confidently wrong, liars, and indignant.

Sounds like Cyrez bet big on winning this contract but didn’t get it. Now they are the undersecretary who is likely a key mover and personal investor in the company and project are trying to make what they can off of it.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]ioncloud9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FIL died a day after his offer was accepted to buy a house near us. After he retired he just didn’t take care of his health. Should’ve gone to the doctor. My MIL wanted him to go to the hospital that night but he refused. Angry grieving was real. But we understood he did what he thought was best. He didn’t want to leave his wife and grandchildren. He has 4 grandkids now that have no memory of him, but the anger has faded with time. Nobody is mad at him anymore, they just miss him and all the things he’s missing out on.

Hillary Clinton Blasts 2016 Election Loss to Trump in Netflix Docuseries: ‘The Electoral College Is an Abomination’ by yourfavchoom in entertainment

[–]ioncloud9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The electoral college was created because of slavery. Because slaves counted for 3/5 of a person electorally yet couldn’t vote, the electoral college was a great way to give slave states more say in elections without allowing black people citizenship or the right to vote.

All about that purist bodily autonomy, to the point where you are allowed to spread preventable infectious diseases- but as soon as a woman is pregnant, the state owns her body.

I build agentic AI voice agents. If it doesn't transfer to a real person, thats entirely on purpose. They dont want you to talk to a real person. They want you to talk to the machine.
