Are there people besides brainwashed republicans who unironically think Reagan was a great president?

You’re right, better just give up now.

These are all pretty inflated, worst case scenarios. I won’t say I’ve never told a white lie but I go by the old fashioned golden rule and do unto others. I do my best to treat other people with decency and respect (which includes being truthful mostly) and have by and large received that back in spades.

That’s quite the strawman you’re building there. Where did I say Van Gogh’s art is worthless? In fact I explicitly said the opposite and I don’t know how much clearer I can be without just repeating myself.

For virtually all of human history people brought their laundry to the riverside and beat it on rocks. This weird puritanism that “only humans should be allowed to draw pictures” is ridiculous.

If an artist can create something hand-made and unique then they’ll be able to continue doing so. Same for people who make art for the love of making art, no one’s going to stop them. But that 90% of “artists” who create corporate logos or generic furry porn may disappear, I’m not going to shed a tear.

I mean I don’t know how it is where you live but here taking the orders has been 99% supplanted by touch screens (without AI) So yeah, a machine can do that job.

The way the title is worded (“a city where people are expected…”) implies this is referring to people that live in NY. I’d clarify it by saying something like “the only city of which people from the rest of the country are expected to know…”

I mean whatever I posted there I posted for public use. Whatever it can learn from my few ancient Stack Overflow posts, it’s welcome to it.

Same here and I’m lucky enough to have them visit my back yard regularly. 🦆🦆

Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

No one is mentioning Tux Racer? Blasphemy!
