It's especially ironic because they aren't that concerned about absenteeism in the sense of "people skipping out on work". They're concerned about people doing the requisite amount of work in a different place than the company would prefer

This is implying that LLM usage by students is all bad (either because of cheating or because or because of kids getting bad information from LLMs). If I were a student, I'd absolutely be using LLMs to help me organize notes, summarize things, quiz me on material, and get general overiews of certain topics/explanations of problems, etc. I'd also not assume everything it spit out was correct.

LLMs have a LOT of problems and pose potential pitfalls for students, but they are a tool. They can be used in different ways and those ways are not all bad.

Also school gets out on different dates in different places.

That's a very good point. I still prefer air poppers because it prevents burning the kernels, but a pot would totally work.

"It was only when she saw the rope come snaking down that Nayla had her orgasm." Dirty 'ol Frank

Alternatively:

"do you have a wall-climbing fetish?"

"why? how tall is the wall youre planning to climb? can I watch?"

Breakfast: oatmeal

Snacks: popcorn (air popped, buy kernels. Need I recommend an air popper, but they're like 20 bucks. Then you can eat cheap popcorn forever). Bonus tip: if you can get your hands on a cheap electric coffee/spice grinder or want to grind seasonings by hand into an extremely fine powder, you can make popcorn salt that coats the popcorn really nicely. E.g. curry popcorn (salt + curry powder), lemon pepper, ranch (get ranch dressing powder). Spritzing with a fine mist of water can help the salt stick.

Lunch/Dinner:

• Fried rice (egg, whatever meat/veg, I like doing soy sauce glazed canned sardines with it for a cheap meal)
• Red beans and rice
• Chicken & sausage gumbo over rice
• Enchiladas, rice, beans
• Rotisserie chicken tacos
• Collard greens and cornbread, you can add bacon or other cheap cuts of pork to add protein.
• Pasta bake (chicken, spinach, pesto, white sauce, little cheese, optionally dried tomatoes - dry them in your oven to save money or buy canned for a little more)
• Korean rice bowls. Chicken, gochujang (like $5-8 but lasts a long time in the fridge), red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil. Marinate overnight. Cook on stove or in oven. Serve on rice with side dishes: carrot and cucumber banchan - just get some matchstick carrots, combine with vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chili flakes. Cucumbers: slice thin, salt, drain. Combine with sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes. Assemble.
• Filipino style Chicken Adobo (potatoes, carrots, chicken, onion, garlic, ginger cooked in a vinegar soy sauce based sauce)
• Make like 200 pierogis for like 20 bucks (and several hours) and freeze them for later. Boil or pan fry and eat with a sausage and some saurkraut. For fillings, I like a little ground meat with onion and mushroom and saurkraut - 1 part meat, 1 part mushroom, 1 part onion. Even cheaper is potato and cheese - typically this means mashed potato mixed with sour cream and cheese.
• Cabbage rolls. Head of cabbage, rice, ground pork, onion, garlic, a couple cans of tomato soup. Cook rice, mix with ground pork, diced onion, and garlic. Dunk cabbage head in boiling water for a minute or two, peel a leaf off, stuff with pork mixture and roll. Put all rolls in a baking pan on a layer of the tomato soup, top with tomato soup. Bake covered mins or until cooked (165f internal temperature)
• West African Peanut Stew. Lots of recipes online. Contains a mix of peanuts, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, collard greens, chicken/veggie stock, and optionally chicken. Very filling, calorie dense, and cheap. I make like 2kg of soup for <$20.

In general, if you want cheap food then look for cultures with rich food traditions born from poverty. Also look for more plant-based recipes or find ways to stretch your meat using fillers like cabbage and onion.

Examples: Louisiana Cajun, American South, India (at least the more modest dishes without lots of meat and cream/butter), Eastern Europe, Central and South America, even provincial French food & British "food" (I jest, but bubble & squeak or bangers & mash have fed many a hungry family)

Staple foods should include:

• Staple Starches: potatoes (sweet potatoes and normal potatoes), rice, corn, beans, lentils
• Chicken (whole raw or rotisserie) - benefit of a whole raw chicken is you can use the whole carcass to make stock and get enough meat for 2 people for a whole week. Rotisserie is the same deal, but precooked and not best suited for all applications.
• Filler vegetables: basically all of your cruciferous vegetables, onions, root vegetables

What he "means" to the extent this isn't just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:

1. The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people (usually black people, but not exclusively) who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future. Not that this is actually true, but that's the idea.
2. he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
3. he's saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.
4. also, he thinks that he is an intellectual and that his tweet is a serious philosophical argument.

This dude sucks so much. And everything I've ever read about him makes him seem like the most annoying kind in philosophy class who thinks he's smart but is a dumbass. And also very racist.

All the headlines should read: "Americans have paid over $150B for the Trump tariffs, so far" or $441 per person (if you count every person in the country, $580 if you just count adults)

No way dude cabeza means pumpkin

Like: Comé un cabeza naranja y guacamole de abogado

But why are they violent? Latent (homo)sexual energy, apparently. I can't remember the exact quote, but that's ol frank for ya.

Edit: "The all-male army has a tendency toward homosexual activities" Something about the "breeding males" (older men) sending younger "non-breeding males" to war as a "screening function". So then you have all these young guys who have some options with what to do with their pent up energy when denied an "external enemy" - either be gay (apparently) or, since that is discouraged, they "sublimate" those energies raping and pillaging - hence being dangerous.

My favorite part is how he has roughly this conversation like 10 times with different people:

"Come on ask. Ask me about my worm dick. You know you want to."

"Umm my Lord I don't know what you mean."

"Ask. About. My. Worm. Dick."

"Uhhhh okay? Tell me about your worm dick."

"YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON. I HAVE NO WORM DICK. I have evolved beyond such things. You puny mortals are so obsessed with sex - it never fails to amuse me."

"Oh... as you say, my lord. I was actually just here to talk about the imperial tax rate on the agricultural planets in the outer rim. The people grow restless, sire."

"Humans are always drawn to the salacious and sensual. Such is their nature, I suppose, to wonder about their emperor's WORM DICK, when their lives are so fleeting."

"..."

"Have I told you about my army of genetically engineered prostitutes? They look freaky - they have big block heads and I use them to control my enemies. I call them my fish speakers. An army of female prostitutes is best, you see, because male armies are too gay. Come to my weird eyes-wide-shut ritualistic sex dungeon and I'll tell you about it."

I will & will report back

Edit: yeah it's definitely an improvement

Not really killing it imo. Most episodes are extremely "both sides"-y which makes them have this milquetoast approach to issues and an unclear perspective. The jokes are often kind of cringe, imo, and the whole thing feels very bland. So its like a political/social satire comedy show that is designed by committee to make mild japes at both sides but not make them too uncomfortable.

It used to be an edgy comedy show (sometimes too edgy for mainstream audiences both then and now) that would lambast social and political figures, but it wasn't just a satire show - it had a separate identity from that. And it was funny, usually. It pushed a lot of boundaries - the media was always talking about South Park as though it was this super scary show that will turn your kids into hooligans and destroy the moral fiber of the country and should be banned.

So maybe it's partly that you can't easily be a super rebellious standout show pushing the envelope every week for 27 years, that they wanted to appeal to mainstream audiences and adopted this bland centrist viewpoint, and that the media landscape is full of edgy-ish comedy shows these days and so it's harder to stand out.

I am by no means a huge SP fan though and have not watched but like 3 seasons since the old days. So if this take is off and the show has gotten more interesting I'd like to know

Yeah the concept of socialist empires is a pretty touchy subject among Marxist-Leninists particularly. With some views I think they'd rather ban people than stating their case to everyone with contrary views. More of a safe-space mentality than a "marketplace of ideas" one. Both approaches have merit, but it's a moderation strategy for sure.

Oh yeah. ML is not as bad as people say. I am critical of Russia on ml and even hexbear and get upvoted. Granted I am a socialist (but not a marxist leninist)

“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes"

Massive Russian disinfo campaign, dozens of right wing influencers literally on Russian gov't payroll, Russian state media talking points blasted all over social media and mainstream media constantly.

But Russia failed to manipulate A SINGLE VOTE

That must be the single worst disinformation campaign in the history of statecraft.

Edit: oh they meant that no votes were actually changed/mis-tallied after they had been cast. That is a bit different than manipulated, but okay

Being impeached for lying about a blowjob is even funnier compared to today's environment, tbh.

Also though, given that Bill is in the epstein documents too, he may not be the best example to use in the near future depending on if we ever see the files.

My bet is they release them with Donnie conspicuously innocent of any wrongdoing

I dont think they will accept his gf as a return though

Granted anyone who either didn't vote but would have voted Dem, voted for trump because they were "on the fence" somehow, or chose to vote 3rd party but otherwise would've voted Dem contributed to this outcome.

That said, yeah the terminally online leftist vote is not what swung this election. I say that as a terminally online leftist who voted for killmala harmus anyway
