I’ve had to take a train from Boston to NYC and back a few times. Round trip, it costs anywhere from $200 to $500 depending on whether you want to leave / arrive at a reasonable time or not, and it takes about 5 hours each way, which is slightly longer than driving takes. Incidentally I can fly from BOS to JFK round trip for about $200, assuming reasonably early booking, and the flight is about 1 hour. So this doesn’t surprise me at all.

It doesn’t help that any time a politician changes their opinion on something, the other side jumps on them for it and accuses them of flip-flopping. In reality, changing a view when presented with a compelling argument or new information is a good thing but they use it as ammunition to attack each other, so of course everyone just sticks to their guns no matter what…

I’m actually curious how it’s sung in Spanish, they have a few extra letters in the critical range.

l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p

I took Spanish in highschool but that was a long time ago. I vaguely recall learning a weird version of the alphabet song that starts with A, B, C, CH, D, E, F as the first grouping, but I can’t recall how it went past that.

Everything’s a dildo if you’re brave enough.

Elemenopee is the undisputed high point.

There’s obviously a huge difference there. Video game NPC AI is closer to a complex flowchart than to genAI, at least traditionally - who knows what’s coming in the near future.

I’m not sure if you were being unreasonable by drawing the comparison (or by using the false comparison to intentionally instigate) or if they were being unreasonable by equating the two and banning you, but someone was.

I can’t look at this and not think about all of that sweat dripping down onto her face. That poor woman.

A lot of it comes down to what you believe happens after you die. Personally, I believe we just stop existing, that nothing comes afterwards. I believe that when I die, it’ll be like going to sleep, I just won’t dream, and won’t wake up.

Going to sleep is, generally speaking, a very peaceful and pleasant experience. When I die, nothing going on in the world will matter anymore. All of my problems and worries will just instantly go away. Nothing I think matters actually will.

Personally, I find the prospect of there being nothing after death to be immensely comforting. I don’t fear it at all.

If they didn’t use AI and instead actively choice to terminate workers with disabilities and medical problems unfairly, that seems almost worse. Like, they’re just admitting to discrimination, aren’t they?

It’s like being accused of exercising poor gun safety leading to someone’s death and saying, “I exercise perfect gun safety, I actively chose to shoot them!”

It didn’t even make sense as a political move. I’d wager most MAGA folks had never heard of USAID or knew what they did, and it was at least helping the US’ reputation on the world stage.

Obviously the real value is the good it was doing all over the world, but for the Trump admin that couldn’t care less about that, it still made no sense to axe it.

That sounds like a challenge.

You’re fine, everyone knows what you mean; it’s spelled ‘canceled’. Other poster was just being a dick presumably because they find the term to be cringey.

Edit: I have been duly informed that ‘canceled’ is the American spelling while ‘cancelled’ is the British spelling, so you’re even more correct. :)

Okay, you’re wildly conflating terms, and it’s making it impossible to carry on a conversation with you on this topic.

I mean there are literal websites devoted to all kinds of porn. Are you a prude about all of it, or only the furry sort? :P

no one was able to describe to me wtf is this about simply put

Did you actually ask any furries? I’ve never met a furry who had a difficult time explaining that it’s a fandom for people who enjoy anthropomorphic animals. That’s all there is to it.

Mate, I could not care less about your screenshot. I’m referring to your posts in this thread, which extends to this very reply, where you’ve got a generally off-putting, condescending tone and frankly, I’m glad you’re getting downvoted for them, because that sort of behavior is just not something I’d like to see rewarded on the fediverse.

Have you considered that, perhaps, your prickly attitude and the tone of your posts is the source of the downvotes, rather than the content?

In all fairness, it’s in no way required to own a fursuit to be a furry. :) It’s only as expensive as you want it to be.

This creates an interesting question.

How much cheaper than the base price would it have to be for you to willingly carry around a Trump branded phone that’s so immediately recognizable that everyone you meet will know what you’re using?
