  • I’d prefer the 8 “I’d really rather you didn’t” rules of Pastafarianism be displayed. The Church of the flying spaghetti monster’,s rules were always pretty reasonable to me:

    1. Don’t act all self-righteous: Don’t act like you’re better than everyone else when describing my Noodlesome Holiness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain.

    2. Don’t use my existence to oppress: Don’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

    3. Don’t judge people by how they look: Don’t judge people by the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they speak, or, well, just play nice, okay?

    4. Don’t indulge in behavior that offends yourself: Don’t indulge in behavior that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age and mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is “go fuck yourself,” unless they find that offensive, in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk.

    5. Don’t challenge the ideas of others on an empty stomach: Don’t challenge the bigoted, misogynist, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat first, then go after the bastard.

    6. Don’t build expensive churches/temples: Don’t build multimillion-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my Noodlesome Holiness when the money could be better spent ending poverty, curing diseases, living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable.

    7. Don’t go around telling people I talk to you: Don’t go around telling people I talk to you. You are not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?

    8. Don’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into leather/lubricant/lasciviousness: Basically, if the other person is into it, then go for it (see suggestion #4), but if they aren’t, don’t force it.



  • 100% not true if they were using a single session to check multiple grants.

    Every prompt you send contains a hashed version of your entire conversation with the chatbot. When this exceeds the chat bots context window, it’s answers become less and less relevant.

    You’ll notice this if you’ve ever had a chat or guide you through something for an hour or more. It eventually gets something wrong takes you down a rabbit hole, and goes in a big circle. At this point, it can be very difficult to get the chat bot to simply respond to your prompt, i.e. if you say “you know what let’s talk about _______ instead.” It will keep talking about whatever you were talking about staying in your dumb rabbit hole loop.

    So if they did this with multiple grants eventually it would basically realize theyre looking for “yes that’s dei” and just responding with different versions of that ad nauseam.


  • None of those are illegal; they are situations wherein the landlord is obligated to fix the problem. The pipes never burst, it is a hypothetical. The power went out, that’s beyond their control. We’re buying a generator. They’re taking it off the rent.

    My landlords are excellent.



  • Man I am rural as FUCK and I rent with my gf.

    It is better.

    Power went out last week in subzero temps. Told the landlord were buying a generator and taking it off our rent. Because guess who pays if the pipes freeze? I don’t mean just for the pipes, I mean for the roof over our head until it’s fixed. Oh that’s right: then.

    If a tree falls on the roof they replaced 2 years ago, guess who pays?

    If the plow guy fucks up the drive way again, guess who pays to fix?

    If the fucking door’s weather stripping comes off and it gets drafty, guess who is paying for the weather stripping to fix it?

    The economy is so ass right now, my gf and I are poised to buy, but it just doesn’t make sense right now. Our rent is near $3k a month, and that mortgage would get us dick nothing next to what we have. Would literally afford us half the sq ft and half the acreage for worse everything.

    Is it bad for equity? Yeah. Is it really the best option until the market turns? 100%. A down payment on a house for a mortgage is lighting that money on fire. Our rent for 2 years is less than any down payment we’d be making. I’d say we’re willing to wait a solid 5 years to decide on buying/renting until our folks are all dead.
