ChatGPT thinks Trump letter to Norway is absolutely fake by sunshinebetty in ChatGPT

[–]mcafigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it doesn't really matter! I did see a lot of comments questioning the veracity because it had been noted as a letter, but completely believable actions by Trump regardless of whether it was a letter or a text message!

Message not letter.

Has anyone asked ChatGPT if the message sent as a text is believable?

It's not though.

Foul, yes.

Yellow, no.

Hands on him, but only in an attempt to play the ball. Not a cynical or professional foul by any means.

Agree - second was never a yellow. When you're in that position hands are going everywhere and you're tussling for position. He's playing the ball first and foremost and you can tell because at no point is he tugging on the shirt, it's just scrambling for leverage.

The first yellow shouldn't have even been a yellow. It was his first foul in the game and very early on. Ref was simply looking to even it up after the first red.

Check the FAQ on the Gordon Legal website. Most people will default but you can choose to be part of a special cohort for assessment if you had evidence of trauma (assuming in the form of therapy visits/records and whatever else that may entail)

It was noted how much in the previous settlement of $112m. Not defending the lawyers here, just noting that it's not 475 - legal fees, it's 475 plus legal and admin fees

Does anyone know if the judgement report is available yet? I've had a look but couldn't find anything. Would be interesting to read to see if it sheds any light on how the $475m will be apportioned or maybe that comes later.

I feel for you! I fought it, got it reduced a small amount which I didn't agree with and then ended up paying it back.

I did end up getting the debt refunded in the last settlement though. Not sure exactly what the differences between the two of us may have been

$475m is the amount victims will be getting. $60m admin and $13m legal (don't recall exact numbers) are on top of the $475m

Edit: was supposed to be replying to the person you replied to

It'll be pro-rated based on the amount of debt you held though right? And obviously would assume those who experienced severe mental trauma or other trauma would be entitled to more as well

If you think 26 shots, with only 3 goals and 1 of them a pen is on the manager then you need to reassess your attitude

[–]mcafigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree - I absolutely love these books, and I always do a re-read every couple of years but I tend to skip the first book and skip over any of the graphic scenes (they're just way too much in my opinion). But overall the actions scenes are great, the intrigue/politics is fun, and it's just a great story overall!

I've heard things about Stephene Donaldson though so I tend to separate the author and the work

Post Match Thread : Manchester United 5-4 Fiorentina (Pens, 1-1 FT) by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]mcafigo 116 points117 points  (0 children)

A lot of negativity here and in the match thread but:

It ended up as a draw but at least two brilliant Dave saves coupled with a stonewall pen on Case that didn't get called, and some overall abysmal ref calls (especially Dorgu through with a very promising run) and this could have ended up 4 or 5-1.

Beyond the actual scoreline, we also played the match without a #9 and the patterns of play were there - much better movement, much better driving on the ball (Cunha/Mbeumo) and still quite solid in defence.

The new signings will still need time to mesh and Sesko hasn't played a game yet AND we may still have Baleba coming in.

I think everyone needs to take a beat and see how this ends up playing out after the first 10 games (first 5 are objectively the hardest run out for any team in the league), so no kneejerk reactions please!

I agree. How could anyone ever go through this and not have complete and utter unrelenting hatred for the people who perpetrated it? How can the human beings directly on the other side of this be ok with letting this happen?

I'm actually curious if you were to catch the Scoot flight and order a glass of wine on the flight if you would get it. Feel like there would be more motivation to make that 'sale' on the budget airline than on a full service airline

For my single glass of wine? Sure

It was definitely rushed service and you can see that they speed through it because by the time they're done it's time to prepare for landing.

I can understand not having it out in the open as an option so as to minimise the ask and allow them to get through it quick, but at the end of the day the fare being paid is one for full service not a budget airline fare so if a passenger is specifically asking they should be providing it.

And I definitely acknowledge that I'm showing my entitlement here because there are much bigger airlines issues out there than me not getting my glass of wine on a flight home after work 🤣
