"Has anyone seen Scanners?"

Just want to say I love your glasses! They suit you really well!

I had an almost opposite scenario to this happen to me in middle school.

I was done of my classwork for the day, so I was playing games on my iPod Touch. Teacher notices it, confiscates it, and tells me I can get it back at the end of the day at the front office. Not so much getting an earful, just trying to get me to focus.

At the end of the day, I go to pick it up and the teacher says "I didn't realize this wasn't a phone. I would've let you keep it if I'd known"

"Iguanadon" (my favourite) and "Coelophysis" are also mispelled

Not universally but yeah. Ceiling lights can be really bad for overstimulation, so a lot of ND people will prefer to never turn an overhead light on in favour of using lamps/natural light.

Why would they be in Maine if they like Anne of Green Gables? Green Gables is in PEI, Canada.

This was with regards to Air Canada and its LLM that hallucinated a refund policy, which the company argued they did not have to honour because it wasn't their actual policy and the bot had invented it out of nothing.

An important side note is that one of the cited reasons that the Court ruled in favour of the customer is because the company did not disclose that the LLM wasn't the final say in its policy, and that a customer should confirm with a representative before acting upon the information. This meaning that the the legal argument wasn't "the LLM is responsible" but rather "the customer should be informed that the information may not be accurate".

I point this out because I'm not so sure CVS would have a clear cut case based on the Air Canada ruling, because I'd be surprised if Google didn't have some legalese somewhere stating that they aren't liable for what the LLM says.

There are other things that get self-censored due to filters. The two that I'm thinking of are "suicide" and "murder" (which a lot of people reword as "unalived" or "committing game over").

Another one that I saw was a history summary channel I watch on YouTube couldn't get monetized because they kept mentioning Hitler (in a video about the end of WW2) so they had to keep saying "the toothbrush moustache having Austrian man" to get around the censor.

God damn it, I hate this hacker crap!

Weirdly enough, I've never got fprint working on my thinkpad (albeit I've only attempted twice).

Both times, it works fine whenever I only set up my index finger. Adding my thumb (or any other finger) then prevents either from working, removing either finger removes both, and then prevents me from adding it back.

I have no idea why I'm having this issue, but I'm assuming I'm just missing something.

I don't think this will solve the issue OP is describing. They're concerned at the existence of fascists on reddit, not just that they are seeing them. Blocking them all would be more like sticking your fingers in your ears and saying it doesn't exist.

Simple. It's theirs when it works and yours when it doesn't.

Ad + incorrect use of meme

Get high and watch the entire Star Wars original trilogy. Been too long since I've watched them. May throw in the prequels too.

I hate how it seems to be a priority of our government to support Israel and that there isn't a single party that we could elect who would actually put an end to that support.

Fun fact: According to our governing documents, the Governor General is the Queen's representative, and King Charles is just fulfilling the role and duties of the Queen. Evidently, those who wrote is assumed Victoria would never die.

At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?

Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don't understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.

Maybe I'm just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?

Gotta allow for a little uncertainty, just to absolutely ruin everything.

Well there's your problem. You need to get a cabinet.

I hate that it lines up so perfectly, and then is missing a single syllable following "linux".
