I don't know what exactly happened with ChatGPT 5.2, but it has gotten significantly dumber with this last update.
I made a post a little while ago alluding to it, but it's been challenging me with a lot of corrections to things I never said. For example, I was explaining that there was a humidifier in the corner of my room and I expected the mist to turn into vapor and for the vapor to act like an ideal gas and so ultimately the relative humidity of the entire room would become more or less the same over time. It explicitly tried to correct me by saying that water doesn't vaporize due to ideal gas law, which really wasn't a statement I ever said or even implied.
That's just one example, but it does seem like there's something not quite working right. Hi there they started cutting corners to spend less money, or maybe it finally got so pickled by Reddit then it has no choice statistically but to use the short of shitty argumentation redditors would appreciate.

I'm not sure these spaniards remember the history of Spain, or why what they're doing is colossally stupid on a historical epic scale.
With respect, the people from Norway have a long and proud history of fighting. That's why half the continent is run by descendants of normen.
That's all, no comments on anything else you've said. Just that the sort of people who make up the Norwegians were people who were really really good at fighting.

I know a guy who lives in ottawa, he tells me that there are protests every week for things that have nothing to do with Canada, like Palestine or Ukraine.
Sometimes, people point to the rainbow logo FBXL has and they wonder if it has something to do with contemporary identity politics.
Unequivocally, no.
Rainbows existed before contemporary politics, and they'll continue to exist afterwards.
Rainbows were a major aesthetic element of many early personal computers such as the TRS-80 CoCo and the Commodore 64, because unlike the earlier models like the original TRS-80 or Commodore Pet, they supported color out of the box. The Apple logo from that era is a rainbow apple icon. The Coco logo was separated rainbow lines.
Rainbows on black are also a major 70s/80s modernist design. Famous album covers use rainbow bars, as well as some contemporary TV shows which made use of animated rainbow lines.
When I designed the original FBXL.NET website back in 2006, I borrowed this rainbow on black aesthetic. It let me keep my preferred dark website aesthetic with a splash of color. That's also why the rainbow is somewhat desaturated -- it's intended to be a quiet graphical decoration, not to blow your eyeballs out while reading text on a black background.
Back in 2006, lgbt stuff existed, but wasn't as central as it is today. There was a war on terror that had been going on for 5 years, a war in Iraq, a war in Afghanistan, and it looked like things were in an economic boom that was on its way to becoming the greatest recession since the great depression.

Sort of funny since it's like name rank and serial number "I have a boat I'm sailing to cannes" would you like this underage girl? "I have a boat I'm sailing to cannes" want to engage in some cannibalism? "I have a boat I'm sailing to cannes"
Ironically, the noble savage archetype is itself a racist stereotype that never existed. There was this idea that just before written history, just outside of the range of any of us being able to verify it, all the things that social reformers hate didn't exist, and they are only the outcome of capitalism or patriarchy or whatever they want to get rid of.
Myself, I end up looking to other primates to test that theory, and it just doesn't come out true. There are pre hominid primates with essentially a nuclear family structure. There are pre hominid primates that engage in war for territory. There are tons of pre hominid primates that engage in a sort of patriarchy. So unless all of these pre hominid primates inherited their ways of living from humans on another continent, it seems very unlikely that these we're human inventions that only showed up the moment that we were able to write down what we were doing.

But it's only the first part of the documentary. The second part is the pseudo intellectual elitists who think it makes them fit to rule.
At least the chad retards don't pretend they're smart by saying smart people words.

Peak music, but it seems like every decade before that had some iconic music. Not so much today.
My brother really wanted me to play WoW back in the day. I played for an entire weekend, and made it to I think level 10, and reached a spot where I found some soft banana bread, but I was not yet battle-hardened enough to eat the soft banana bread. That's after buying it in a box, paying for access, and playing pretty hard.
The next weekend, I played the newly released Bioshock for the first time, and it was a reminder that single player games are paced so much faster than MMOs.
I've played plenty of JRPGs too, and even those are much quicker unless you're doing some crazy challenge run. And you're not paying a monthly fee for the privilege.

It's been a long time since COVID now, but after seeing how the vaccine affected myself and many people I know, the idea that some people including kids would die given the biological effects seems self-evident.
I took it and ended up sleeping for a full 24 hours. My dad took it and got so sick he had to quit his (short term) job because he wasn't going to be healthy enough to come to work. Quite a lot of people said it hit them really hard. That's not normal for a vaccine. Most of us take or have taken many vaccines and only see mild side effects. To have something hit people this hard absolutely implies that a small number of people could be hit even harder.
The comment that showing evidence is a danger to evidence based medicine is self-defeating. You don't do evidence-based public medicine if you disregard evidence, what you've got there is religion, and a shitty religion at that. "Bow before Brand X, for it shall deliver you from evil!"

I think it's particularly funny because if you think about the things going on in 2014, basically none of them including gamergate are something that are actively brought up on a regular basis by any faction of the right. However, even though it has been 12 years, it's like the left's Pearl harbor. It's like their 9/11.
A bunch of incompetent gaming journalists having conflicts of interest because they were all banging the same incompetent "game developer" is treated like this generational wound that must be brought up like the Holocaust for all time.
When you get right down to it, the concept that people need to be careful about conflicts of interest when they start sleeping with individuals they are doing new stories about is entirely uncondual, it is basic journalistic ethics. The way that it got reframed about misogyny doesn't actually make a whole lot of sense. It wouldn't be any more correct if female game journos started falling over a male developer that they were having sex with, or if everyone in the situation were gay and a bunch of males started amping each other up after secretly having sex. In fact, you can take sex entirely out of the equation, You're typically not supposed to write new stories about someone you were related to, or friend, or occurrence or former employer, at least not without making the conflict of interest publicly known.
So the fact that it was a basic journalistic standard basically forever really speaks to the fact that this was about individuals who thought they had a monopoly on narrative creating it like the Holocaust the moment that someone other than them formed a narrative. Which is really silly.
And let's say that gamer gate was actually entirely wrong and all of the facts brought forward by the ex-boyfriend were self-serving and wrong. Even then there's nothing to discuss. Okay, there's a nasty breakup and a guy started slinging accusations around. That seems like something that ought to be very straightforward to resolve without turning it into a Pearl harbor, Even if a bunch of people on the internet got on board.

lol I made a joke about not being on epstein island because I wasn't invited, turns out Elon dodged a bullet because neither was he. (big oof considering it's a bad look when he was saying Trump would be in there)
