Because it’s clear they want kids to start drinking budweiser young. It’s marketing budweiser to minors, whether it has alcohol or not.
What do you think all that marketing does? Gets them drinking more budweiser as adults.

She has a napkin on her head because it was the custom to do this when you ate some nasty dish because you were “hiding it from God”… Some weird meat dish that sounded gross as fuck but it was a delicacy.

lol holy fuck I hope no one takes this seriously, because Vietnam was fucking hell for the soldiers. No one thought it was awesome except some conservative Nixon supporting fucks who didn’t care because they didn’t have their 16 year old get drafted.
- Comment on Top economist warns that the AI math doesn’t make sense: 'Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers' 1 week ago:
Nah, I don’t think it’ll “ruin” the internet in the disaster sense. It’s already done enough that it ruined reddit, quora, other social media, but those weren’t really information sources as much as companies selling addictive brain rot to steal your data. They are not on the same level as wikipedia, or even representative or what the internet is. Even if you got useful stuff off reddit once upon a time, it was always about tracking you and capturing your data and making you addicted to wasting your time watching bullshit.
What we’re seeing and this “top economist” is saying is just “this is a bubble” in other words without saying the B word. People tune out the B word because they believe in the technology. A bubble has nothing to do with whether AI works, and all to do with the behavior of investors and unsustainable investments. So many people these days have to dance around the bubble word because people think it means you are anti-AI.
We will likely see things remain more or less the same except one day investors freak out and stop investing in AI, and then tech will go through a ton of shitty layoffs and people will struggle and some rich day trader type fucks will lose their livelihoods, just like the dotcom era. But after that, we will still have generative AI tools here and there, maybe more restricted to better use cases and not shoved in your face everywhere, but LLM will still be a thing.
Yeah, it means you’ll likely have fucked social media forever, bots, propaganda, fake news, fake AI videos of bullshit, but social media always was about controlling your thought patterns. It already fucking sucked. That part of the internet was always shit. But interconnected devices sending data to each other and allowing researchers in Oslo Norway to talk to researchers in Omaha Nebraska, that will still very much be alive and work well.

Honestly, cooking while cleaning and being efficient with dishes is a very unappreciated skill. I cook up stuff where I can rinse and throw it directly in a dishwasher, or use just one pan or one pot, clean knives and spatulas after use and put them back.
You end up spending like 5 minutes doing the extra dishes where this doesn’t work out.

Funny they put Romans 1:26-27. I try to double check what they’re quoting to see what the context is, because it’s usually bullshit, or not at all condemning being gay.
But Romans 2:1, the very next part says, “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.”

So part of the reason to believe he was a real figure was that, crucifixion was a humiliating punishment at the time. The fact that people were worshipping a guy who was crucified was ridiculous at the time. Lots of people were talking about a guy Jesus who got crucified, and they weren’t friends of Christians.
You had early Christians talking about Jesus, and early enemies of Christianity talking about some charlatan who got humiliated by being crucified and then for some reason people still worshipped him, which would have been ridiculous.
The guy probably existed as a historical figure.

Because you don’t own the game anymore. You’re renting it from them, as long as they decide to keep it online, and they won’t forever.
It’s like “buying” a movie on Amazon. It’s not the same as buying a bluray or DVD. It means renting it from them as long as they keep serving it. They eventually will turn that service off and you won’t “own” it.
- Comment on Anon tries dating apps 3 weeks ago:
Humans are just animals at the end of the day. This is all a sexual display of fitness. Hiking and traveling tell people you’re physically and financially fit. You can move around no issue. You are social. You are socially and physically healthy.
They lie a ton and show pics of hiking from 5 years ago and act like they can still do all that. Or they never could and the pics are deceiving… Regardless, it’s just a game all genders are playing to show sexual fitness. It looks like carbon copies because it’s the best way to communicate “my body moves well and I can afford luxury”.
