This always seemed like the ultimate goal of a chatgpt or a Gemini.

Attract: make a service that magically gives answers, killing the old ways to find or research information.

Extract: once everyone trusts AI implicitly, weave in advertising without anyone's knowledge, allowing for extremely subtle and effective brainwashing.

I don't think they are supposed to taste bad. They are just an alternative to nicotine gum. You can get them at pharmacies. I don't like the gum because it's bright yellow and leaves little stains in my teeth so I got the lozenges this time instead.

They do taste absolutely terrible though. And yeah, cigarettes smell awful but for whatever reason, I like the taste of them. I quit those a long time ago specifically for the bad smell though.

Just quit nicotine again for the 3rd total time. Sucks a lot. And I feel like the nicotine pouches are significantly more addictive than cigarettes or tobacco ever were.

My secret this time was nicotine lozenges. They taste so terrible that it even overcame the positive association I have with nicotine. Good luck out there!

Best advice, dont break 2 laws at once. If you are going to drink alcohol underage, dont drive. If you are going to smoke weed, dont do it while you are trespassing somewhere etc etc.

Easy

Already couldn't afford it so I don't have insurance, its now 40% higher and I still can't afford it. Haha! I am immune to the economic implications. If only I was immune to communicable diseases.

Follow me for more financial tricks they dont want you to know. 🙃

Measles, theocratic government, phrenology: everything old is new again.

Use a napkin or suffer a minor finger burn. Worth it for the outcome.

You put mustard on top and then spin the hotdog do the mustard is applied 360° and doesnt get all over you while you eat it.

Thank you. I'm not too worried about installation as long as they fit in the outlet box. I'll look into these.

North America yes. I'll look at Innovelli.

Just subscribed. Hoping for all the juicy mail details in the coming weeks.

Dont forget Microsoft Bob

I like both. But a ridiculous dub can add a lot of fun to an already ridculous movie.IE All Monsters Attack

Japanese monster fighting movies. Godzillas especially but it needs to be guys in rubber suits doing stunts shot in slow motion. If you have that, I'm there. No matter how bad the acting no matter how bad the story, no matter how horrendous the dub. Give me big rubber monsters fighting and I'm there.

I would say most of the customers of Framework are the kinds of people who espouse the kind of antifascist ideology that that guy that started the thread does.

I don't think that the fascist sympathizer circle and the "willing to pay more money for an ethical laptop that isn't beholden to a big corporation for repair" circles have much overlap.

This is easy, "Framework doesn't support fascism or racism in any form. We support open source software and right to repair. Due to concerns with ideology in some of the projects we sponsor we are reviewing the projects we sponsor to make sure that they align with our values as a company."

The fact that they aren't willing to say so says plenty.

The Predator will call a human "one ugly motherfucker". God of course. Meta, edgy, flipping the script just to be different without justifying it in the story. Hollywood perfection.

Put some respect on Predator 2's name. A movie with Danny Glover and Gary Busey can't be completely without merit.

Is it good though.........I'll get back to you.

Yes, because theres nothing teens like more than a long dormant (until recently) 80s action movie franchise.

The other thing young people famously like is paying to go to movie theaters.

I hope I'm wrong. Prey was pretty cool, but I dont see myself going out of my way ro see it and I would consider myself a pretty big Predator fan.

The only time I look at ratings are for horror movies. A PG13 horror movie is usually not something worth my time. There are exceptions to every rule bit still.

Usually I want something to move up to PG13 rather than down from R.
