  • Since it isn’t happening to you personally I guess it would be hard to back up with evidence but is there not somewhere you could anonymously report these abuses and concerns to? Any government department? At the very least the misrepresented conditions seem like they must be a violation of something . If it’s anonymous hopefully you’d be shielded and you don’t personal face the same risks to your well being. If there’s anything that is actionable it could result in better conditions all round.

    Your tip might be a piece of information that they can add to any other such information to trigger an investigation maybe. Here in Australia at least, the government does at least sometimes act on abusive labour practices, they’ve swooped in on farmers employing fruit pickers who are almost entirely foreign and who suffered absolutely blatant wage theft and abuse and other high profile instances such as foreign embassy staff being treated as slaves.






  • First time I ever ate weed a friend of mine took my birthday nuggs and ground them up and put the weed in a pan with some butter then drained it in to a shot glass with honey and gave it a little nuke to soften everything up. Considering how makeshift it was and the gross little bits of leaf getting caught in your mouth it was surprisingly good, the actual weed component of it made the whole thing taste a little like crunchy nut cereal with an oddly herbaceous element to it. Having seen how you’re supposed to make weed butter properly in the time since, it’s surprising that this worked so well but my god I was high as a kite, it was amazing. Don’t know if, given the pretty brief time spent on heat with the butter, maybe it was necessary to actually eat the weed itself rather than strain it, wouldn’t recommend that if can be avoided but then again this was all ready in under 10 minutes.




  • ChatGPT is pretty helpful despite the hate. I’ve found myself using it quite a bit recently. Situations like these where you don’t get a joke are good ones in particular, since it’s something you might have struggled to figure out just by Googling before. However, you do need to be able to check the output to gain value from it and that’s kind of one of its limitations since you sometimes end up needing to do as much research or work verifying what it tells you as you tried to avoid by using it.

    In this case, where it’s not so much a question of facts and it’s more about interpretation, a simple test of asking yourself “does this make sense?” could have provided a clue for you that chatGPT was struggling here. One of its problems is that it just always tries to be helpful and as a function of how it works that often ends up favouring the production of some kind of response over an accurate response even when it can’t really produce an answer. It doesn’t actually just magically know everything and if you can’t confidently explain the joke to someone else in your own words after reading it’s “explanation” then the odds are good that it just fed you nonsense which superficially looked like it must mean something.

    In this case it seems, that the biggest problem was that the joke itself didn’t entirely make sense on its premise, so there wasn’t really a correct answer and chatGPT just tried really hard to conjure one where it didn’t really exist.



  • Just never gets old. Classic. Still I’d miss the bacon and the toast is a bit anaemic. I’d wolf it down if it was put in front of me though. Tomatoes look decently cooked too which is rare to see, I also like your double egg going on I like to do that sometimes. Is that blood sausage of some kind? I don’t get to include that very often as it’s not commonly sold where I am so I usually just have the typical Cumberland sausages. I personally like to have this dish with potato farls as well as toast because I just love my carbs so much. I recommend. Anyway hope you enjoyed it, got a craving for an English breakfast now.


  • I actually had similar theories though in the end I concluded that a person definitely couldn’t be doing it, but I did used to rack my brains how the machine did it so fast. I had to do a project on how TV worked and was invented when I was in the 6th grade and it didn’t help at all, the whole electron gun thing didn’t explain it to me at all because I was imagining the gun like, drawing objects like trees and buildings and people and none of the boring confusing stuff I read helped me understand how this gun knew what to draw and could do it so quickly.




  • Hey thanks. Turns out I’m actually banned from at least one community. They think I’m a bot. Beep boop.

    EDIT: Actually, I think that must have been lifted. I commented there earlier today and the post has upvotes so I assume people can see it. Is there any way to be notified when both banning and subsequent unbanning happens? The Modlog doesn’t mention the unbanning part of the equation.
