I was going to say this is the kind of metaphor only an idiot would use, but it turns out that would be redundant.

Tell them they've been betrayed. Tell them they're being robbed. Tell them they're being replaced (by AI).

Tell them they are right to be angry, and then direct their anger in a better direction.

agreed, although I'm not sure if there's a better way to get it after knowing the rule than just sorta sequentially checking them

after figuring it out myself, I pasted the topic question into chatgpt and it came up with a(n actually accurate) method, explained the method in detail, started using the method to check each value of n one by one, and then stopped at 20 basically saying "now you know how to do it, it might take some time but you can continue this and find the answer" when it was literally 1 away from the first correct answer. a valiant attempt but also lol
Actually, that sounds great. If chatgpt comes with a 'homework detected' filter that makes it show you how to solve the problem and avoids just handing out the answer, I absolutely have no complaints.

So, many years ago I didn't use adblockers.
Then I got a virus from an infected ad server.
A fairly benign adware one, but that was more than enough.

Since then I've taken steps, adblockers and beyond, to make sure that never happens again.

Also, this was before I found youtube. I didn't even know they had ads for years.

The only ones I don't know by name are the two Red Lanterns. The cat is famous for being a cat with a tragic backstory, but I can't remember the name.

Ah, Dex-Starr, of course. Still don't know the other Red Lantern.

Also turns out I didn't know Zod, I thought he was someone else.

I'm curious about people who don't like Death Proof.

I had the 70s schlock thriller/horror context, so for me it was mostly laughing and doing the DiCaprio pointing meme.

I don't know how I would have reacted if I had tried to watch it as an actual movie, rather than a long form nostalgia joke.

Also, did people watch it alone, or together with Planet Horror?
If you also saw Planet Horror, what did you think of that? It was a lot more blatant in its humour, so I wonder if it was better received.

Several times. I used to hear Black Metallic by Catherine Wheel on Goth nights and the kind, and that was the only song of theirs I knew for years until I bought the album with that on a whim and they became one of my favorite bands.

I think how I got into Daughter was even more abrupt.

Good God, this is why most people left this site. No room for any nuanced conversation whatsoever. Its either a circle jerk around the TC or a circle jerk on them.

There is no perfect candidate for anything.

The best candidate cannot be determined at this time. The earliest I would want to start looking is after November 2026, and ideally it would be someone who is pretty low profile right now.

Yeah, such a "loser".

Btw, what should we call this new generation of CoG, since you know, they helped get the guy elected whose going to bulldoze it?
Trump didn't win California.
He still won America.
Can Newsom win California?
Probably.
Can he win America?
Probably not.

At least not as he is now.

It's stupid to speculate this far out.

I literally don't fucking care who it is as long as they are not also a fascist nazi like Trump

you are the one who is already running interference because you desperately want to appear independent and critical and undermining the fact that Trump is going to run for a literal 3rd term

but this is not vote blue no matter who, this is don't let democracy fall to dictatorship and live in a dreamland where I can be picky

you literally don't fucking understand what you even wrote

here let ai help you

AI Overview

so in reference to a man running for a 3rd term

what political PARTY affiliation or IDEOLOGY is blinding me?

like holy fucking moly spaghettios

let me break it down for you what you are doing

you want to try so hard to not seem to be partisan that you are an independent thinker that you are willing to let a man win his 3rd term breaking the constitution and democracy itself and becoming a dictator

but hey, at least you didn't vote blue no matter who right?

Partisan blinders is running the Democrat course without looking around to see if that course leads to victory. I'm looking for the path to victory. If it leads to Newsom(it doesn't), well and good. If it leads away from Newsom, well and good.
Right now, 3 years out it's impossible to say who should be the Democratic nominee. From here, Newsom looks very bad if you evaluate him objectively. If, however, you
