And it is "too hard" because they don't have the fund to do it. Which is because budget cuts...

The only "insults" in there is "too many" and "boredom". That is a weak first round.

Speaking the truth can be boring, not that LLMs could relate and the only "too many", that grok should be concerned about, is the "too many" liters of water that it is wasting to produce such a weak and boring roast. If you kill the planet at least make it fun.

Just don't pick up the phone... It is probably broken anyway after being soaked like that

I have 2 of the same teacher. She was an elderly history teacher and I wished I could say a good one.

  1. She wants to watch a Columbus movie after the exams. We were pretty hyped because watching movies is chill. The movie starts and something graphical happened, she immediately skipped a couple minutes. If you have any understanding of the history of Columbus, you can see how this ends... The next graphical scenes come and go in a quick skip. At one point, Columbus was in America, Columbus did Columbus things and she skipped so far forward that he was back in Spain. And in the end, we "watched" a 2 hrs movie in 30/40 minutes. She asked how we finished the movie so quickly. I know what happened in the movie because I know history but I don't know the movie at all.

  2. It is summer. No Aircon. Big glass windows. In lunch break, people leave to buy 1,5 liter bottles of water for insanely cheap. Everyone! Has! These! Bottles! Everyone is drinking their water in the lunch break. Class starts. Everyone is paying attention and is working. Someone asks "hey, could I go to the toilet, please?". Teacher allows them. Everyone else is reminded that toilets exist and how much water they have drunk. A bunch of people ask one by one if they could go to the toilet and the teacher allows it one by one. At some point, literally everyone who had to visit the toilet but 1 person went to the toilet, and she exclaims "stop asking! Just go when no one is already on the toilet!". The student gets up immediately and walks to the door and before they had the chance of opening the door. She screams "what are you doing?!!??" They respond "I want to go to the toilet." And she screams "don't you know that you have to ask!???". We were very confused.

I am seriously concerned that in your mind, without payment she would have to ask for permission.

In my personal situation, my gf is staying with me regularly for a while (LDR atm). When she stays here she doesn't have to pay for anything. (She wants to pay for some food) The only thing, I have requested in that situation, is that she tells me when she brings a friend to our place and that preferably I would like to know the friend before they appear in my private space. In other words, I just don't want to open the door and see an unexpected stranger sitting on my couch. Please note, I asked her to respect that. I asked.

Really not an expert but if you lock up civilians who admittedly not taking part in any fighting, for up to 4 months in an armed conflict and releasing them in a trade, doesn't that conflict the Geneva convention part 1, article 3?

Seriously, am I wrong here?

It depends on a lot of things.

Mainly what does one mean with racism? If they mean exclusively systematical racism, then it is much more difficult, if not impossible, to be the victim of racism in e.g. the US as a "white" person. Like apparently 75% of the population in the US is "white", how and why would 75% of the system, so effectively a controlling majority, turn the system against them? It seems at least unlikely.

But as always, us defaultism or western defaultism in the English speaking world runs strong, and it gets completely ignored that there are probably some "white" people born and living in e.g. Japan. I am "white" and I lived in other parts of the world and met my (hopefully) future-wife there. There is systematical racism against "white" people out there.

Now if you mean racism as discrimination by race, obviously it exists and I have experienced it. By a scream, I was angrily called a slur for standing in a park, about to sit down on a bench, by a person outside of the park on the walkway running past the park. I know they meant me as the slur means only that one thing, and there was literally no other "white" person there. Local friends confirmed that I heard it correctly and that there was no one else around. "White" people are so rare there that I would be stared at anywhere I would go, causing me to seek out private spots. Tbh i believe that place has systematical racism against a bunch of ethnicities, including "white" people. But I still think that moment is a good example for unprompted unmistakable racism.

Well, i don't think you can judge a group based on their characteristics, if the group is an ethnicity. What are characteristics that e.g. all white people share, which you can judge them for? Obviously none. Just like any and all "forced into" groups.

I am sorry but it seems you misunderstood my take.

If the German public knew, Nazis knew.

You can choose what you want to call a Nazi. Idc for the sake of my argument. But you can't claim that you can't judge Nazis for their support for Nazi shit because they didn't know. They knew.

I don't want to bother if you are the person I previously responded to. If you aren't, then I am not saying, you claimed anything. If you are, read above.

The citizens in nazi Germany was very much aware of the anti-semitism and the violent nature of the nazi party.

If you want to claim that they didn't know of the systemical murder of e.g. Jewish. Based on my understanding, you are wrong. But even if you want to ignore that, they knew of the violence against Jewish and enabled it.

Kristall Nacht (btw)

This shit was public

 

I keep hearing about how you shouldn't laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.
