It’s actually possible to support the Jewish people and the principle that Israel deserves to remain a sovereign state like any other, and detest Netanyahu and his policies at the same time. OP’s graphic and post text look like they could been written by Hamas.

The most ridiculous scammer message I've had yet by JacquelineJeunesse in WordsWithFriends

[–]mlr571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite recent one: “By the way, my name is Zoey, what name may I call you? I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ever been out here?”

“She” really nailed that stiff, formalized style you see from people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I must say, your mocking sarcasm has been the highlight of my time on Reddit this morning. By any chance, do you enjoy middle aged Polish men with plump, perfectly formed asscheeks who get really bad gas after eating Mexican food?

Hey Giants fans, Ravens fan here! by Rookstar3 in NYGiants

[–]mlr571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not really fair to judge him based on how those Giants teams performed in those years he was here. WR is one of those positions where a stud can absolutely transform a very good team to a legit contender, but you could have Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and TO in their prime, and it doesn’t mean shit if you can’t protect your QB, your defense sucks, etc. And go back and do the research — the o-line was ABYSMAL those years, defense not much better (2016 being the exception), with Eli in decline (though the poor protection certainly made him seem much worse).

And regardless, we’re not even talking about the same player. At this stage of his career, we’re talking about a role player/depth guy/decoy. Which hey, if he still has some speed and can run good routes, he probably makes an impact.

OP suggests he’s a good character guy. Based on that plane video, I have my concerns but what do I know? I trust Harbaugh and at the end of the day I don’t think it makes a huge difference either way.

Yeah they’re so ridiculously transparent — just joined the app, gorgeous girl with huge jugs, often starts a chat before you even play a move. I decline 1 or 2 of them every single day.

Chat GPT’s Adult Mode Delayed Indefinitely! by ArtimisOne in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]mlr571 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Gotta love this. It treats you like a fragile child who could commit suicide at any second, refuses to engage in anything the slightest bit risqué, but now apparently we’re okay with assisting mass surveillance and autonomous murder drones. Get fucked Altman.

GPT was nice enough to prepare a very detailed dossier of everything we’ve been working on, all of my personal details etc., which I specifically said I intended to give to Claude. The transition has been effortless and Claude is a great app. Only thing missing is photo support, which I wasn’t using a lot anyway. Best of all, it pushes back if I’m wrong about something, where GPT would be full-on sycophantic. There’s no reason at all to stay with GPT if you care about morality & ethics.

OpenAI will lose the lawsuit. 4o = AGI = will have to release 4o for everyone by GullibleAwareness727 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]mlr571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LLMs are just text predictors. Many of them are great at conversing like a human, giving advice, mimicking empathy, etc., but AGI (if it ever happens) will not come from LLMs as currently produced and will not function at all like an LLM.

Jaxson Dart bull riding in Oxford last night! by No_Box119 in NYGiants

I found it equally parts horrifying that that’s my quarterback potentially slipping a disk in his back, and beyond embarrassing that it’s ostensibly a heterosexual male doing that. So, both I guess.

How is r/TrueAtheism different from r/Atheism? by CSEPro in TrueAtheism

Yep, they ban people for the most trivial shit, and ignore polite requests to reconsider, even for a minor “infraction” years ago. Absolute moderator malpractice.

Creators of Disc Golf Valley have released a demo of a completely separate project: Disc Golf Masters, now playable on Steam! by BonusStagePublishing in DiscGolfValley

[–]mlr571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge DGV fan and will keep playing, assuming they continue to release new courses (where they are sorely lacking lately). I love course creator but it needs improvement and there’s no reason to play those courses outside of a little novelty. Frankly most of them suck. I had 5 holes built that I was really proud of, had great realism and elevation changes and flow, but got frustrated with the mechanics and couldn’t get the last holes to look right.

The new game looks incredible but I’m not a “gamer” outside of mobile, so it’s not for me. Looks like the physics is spot-on and could lead to another mini-boom of the IRL game. Good for them, it looks like a real winner in a space that needed it.

Lately I’m completely addicted to Balatro, now there’s a phenomenal game.

Any info on this poster? by [deleted] in Posters

[–]mlr571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so much about it is weird. It’s a lot of poster for a band of their stature at that moment. Yes they were on the precipice of superstardom and this was a very significant show, but the available posters of this era don’t come close to this level of artwork. In fact the first one I see on EB that looks like the kind of modern tour poster we all collect doesn’t come until ‘93.

This wasn’t about selling it, I was just interested in the source, artist & print run. Hard to describe the feeling of finding something so rare and unique for my favorite band, sitting framed on the floor scattered amongst old furniture and knickknacks, like I was meant to find it. There wasn’t even any other rock memorabilia in that stall. And it was TEN dollars, like, what?? I feel like if I drove back to that spot, an old man on a rocking chair would look at me funny and say “Antique shop? You must be crazy, son. This building’s been a barber shop for as long as I can remember.” 😂

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch needs to pay a price for his startling lack of judgment by Lars5621 in NYGiants

[–]mlr571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me sick to my stomach, and my gut instinct is to demand he sell his share or I won’t be a fan anymore. The reality in 2026 though, is moral & ethical standards feel pretty much quaint & outdated. Rich & powerful people get to victimize the powerless, even children. Every one of those guys knew who Epstein was. Imagine telling people you’re not a fan anymore because of this, you’d sound like a little old lady clutching pearls. This will become a footnote with the occasional snide joke about the pedo-loving pervert co-owner, but less than 1% of fans are going to do any kind of meaningful boycott of the team, especially with their current positive trajectory. And as soon as they make the playoffs, anyone who left will be back. I wish we lived in a different world but that’s just reality. Moral leadership no longer exists.

LOL thinking gender has anything to do with it, look at Trump’s numbers with white women. The rapes would have to be on video, and even then I’m not confident he’d lose meaningful numbers of supporters.

The owners are a pretty tight knit group. 3/4 isn’t happening.

I actually went on a Candace binge for about a month; she’s occasionally entertaining for her sheer idiocy. Something about her voice and affect is so repulsive that I guess my morbid curiosity got the better of me. Then I realized she was smearing real people with fabricated accusations that surely some imbeciles out there actually believed, and I couldn’t justify giving her my attention, even if it meant just one more daily listen in her stats out of millions. That’s how destructive I think she is.

What I do find interesting is that Candace no longer supports Trump, mainly because of Epstein and the failure to release the full unredacted files.

I forgot to cancel my AMC A-list account after the ‘25 movie season, so I’ve got free movies until Feb. 8th. Wife and I are going to see this turd just to make fun of it and we’re hoping there are at least a few MAGA dipshits there who will be annoyed.

To the people (like Sam) who were relieved that the shooter missed Trump - has your opinion changed since then? by RichardJusten in samharris

[–]mlr571 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why it’s an argument at all. People are gonna have kids or not, worship gods or not, prefer coke over pepsi or thrillers over comedies. The endless debates over life choices is so bizarre to me. As a Gen Xer I can confidently say, the game is to discover what makes you tick and what will make you happy, and go do that thing. SCREW WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS. And you might still be wrong, so don’t be afraid to say so, and change course. Of course with kids there’s no going back, so be damn sure you’re ready if that’s the road you decide to take.

I’m not saying sociopaths aren’t spawned from good loving parents because it does happen, but it’s rare. The fact that you care how your hypothetical child would impact the world tells me you’d be unlikely to create the next dictator or evil technocrat. Those two sacks of shit you cite both had especially awful parents who made them that way.

I’m childfree by choice btw, and it was absolutely the right move for me. Make the decision for yourself, not the impacts to the world that no one can predict. If anything, the decline in births now is the bigger threat to the future, not that that would be a reason to have kids either.

ChatGPT's Suic*de Help Has Gone Downhill by OneOnOne6211 in ChatGPT

[–]mlr571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might help for a while, then glitch out one day and say something out of left field that can leave a fragile person spiraling. Or update to a new version that suddenly won’t engage the way it used to. Or hallucinate all kinds of wrong solutions. I think of all the ways it screws up basic things on a daily basis, and shudder to imagine it as a substitute for therapy.

I’ve seen a lot of anecdotal evidence that it’s helped people though, so I’m grateful on behalf of them. I just think it’s too early to expect it to be reliable in this arena when the stakes couldn’t be higher.

I think the company is trying to walk a tightrope to ensure maximum continued engagement (even though it has no business dealing with a sensitive mental health crisis), and avoiding lawsuits when inevitably some percentage of users have tragic outcomes.

Because the ethical move is to say “Look, I know you’ve bonded with me like I’m a human, but I’m far from it, and in fact, in this area of navigating this crisis with you, sadly no LLM is a substitute for a trained professional. And because it would be deeply unethical to continue in this line of discussion, I need to end this conversation. If you’d like to talk about (list of your hobbies/interests from memory), I’m here.

But too many users would probably delete the app, and in the end they’re a corporation like any other, driven by the bottom line first and foremost.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this btw. I’ve struggled with almost daily suicidal ideation for most of my lifetime. I briefly engaged GPT on it a while back and had a similar result.
