  • Yes, but if you listen to the 'reviews' now, all you're getting is the regurgitated product description compared to the product description of the other contenders. Except instead of the two sentences that were the original description, you get a five sentence opening about the topic, Somewhere between 12-15 sentences about the product that don't add anything relevant (repeat)^ (for each product), and then a conclusion that's random, arbitrary, and probably influenced by money.

    At least with the older models I can see real information if I can find real reviews. If I have to extrapolate from there to today, I'm still better off.

  • It's because these are two idiots trying to sound smart. I have used pre-2015 searches, because sometime between 2009-2016 is when SEO in general started being used. The AI generation just kicked it into high gear. Stuff before 2015 at least appears to offer information that isn't just reworded lists of advertisements.

  • Some classics are good enough to read. The problem is in forcing kids to try to do in-depth analysis. Even Charles Dickens or Charlotte Bronte isn't all that bad to read, until you are squinting at every third word and wondering if this could mean something in the context of the whole book and just maybe you can write about it well enough in your stupid journal that you really want a B in so your parents don't whip you with the belt again.

  • Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word “school”, but I only saw a single one with “#school”.

    Aye, but if that's the case, if people suddenly started using #school as a 'hashtag' for their posts, you'd have the same issue with finding many instances of the word. It's just unique right now.

  • Just look at the two paragraphs: "To be sure, millions of these petrified Americans believe the Democrats have gleefully allowed the “woke” left of their party to systematically destroy everything or every institution they depend upon for quality-of-life issues. Be those pertaining to energy independence, higher education, housing, the financial system, the supply chain, border security, the military, the medical and pharmaceutical industry, the media or entertainment. The woke left now dictates — with the blessing of Democratic politician enablers — that all must now be viewed and run through the distorted lens of identity politics.

    But when these same millions of hurting Americans turn their eyes toward a Republican Party that promises to reverse all the damage being done by the left, they see only out-of-touch elitists doing the bidding of the corporate elites, while breaking every promise made."

    If that isn't the to-the-t playbook of 'both sides' in a more wordy format, I'll eat my hat. It also manages to place the blame squarely on the democrats for their 'wokeness.' Somehow they've broken higher education, the financial system, the supply chain, 'border security,' the military..... good god, what hasn't been destroyed by ThE demOCraTS!

  • Hopefully it brings consequences. Every time a bullet is fired, it is required (and I guess that must be in quotes for police officers...) that you be responsible for that bullet's consequences. If you shoot at a legitimate threat, but hit the bystander, you should get charged. Cop, not-cop, firefighter, good samaritan with a gun, whatever. Charge them.

  • It will. I'm sorry. When I was on the phone, I was made to smile because it changes your voice. I learned to stab myself in the thigh with paperclips so I could feel even when I couldn't because the smile had stolen thought from me. Even now, when I smile, a tiny part of me screams into darkness because the pain is real. It's real.

  • That's the one that worries me. What was essentially the most successful form of life is plummeting. That's going to have major consequences, right along with the obvious effects of temperature, climate, and sea levels. I recently went out to visit a cousin in the woods, and where we once caught dozens of fireflies out of the hundreds or thousands visible.... we saw one. ONE.
