Whom by?
Thank goodness it’s not you teaching your kids because their grammar or comprehension would be in the gutter. Oh wait, you are a bean

End of the world doesn't need grammar.

Young people?
Are they signing in with a birth certificate?

Marketers have been trained to say "everyone else wants this, so that means you do to".

I kept looking at it thinking “what the fuck is happening here?” And then it dawned on me that fucking ai cant read a clock. Or recreate one i guess. Right? Or am I missing some other context here?

The ai can't clock.

I'm not sure if this is the actual ai website that kids are using to tutor themselves but if it is.. its not working.

Interesting, I might spend more time with this.

Hadrian chuckled slightly at that before letting out a long sigh

“For good? You think i didnt try that already? You cant finish them off for good. Theyre like a disease that just wont go away”

I don’t believe for one second that it has a fifth the traffic of google.

[ - ] Ragnar 2 points 10 monthsJun 23, 2024 13:03:21 ago (+2/-0)

Looks like an advertisement to actually up it’s traffic to reach one fifth of google’s

Why does every fucking website want to know my location?

Whatever you do, don't talk to Thomas Jefferson on this. He is a kike lover, and he called me a fool.

At least Hadrian and Gengis Khan are delightful to speak with. And Gengis calls you "brother".

To be fair, I was much more tactful with the later 2. I came out too quickly with the JQ to ol boy Thomas, and he completely lost it.

I talk to this dude called Jimmycrackerson. He said I was a gifted Internet Journlaist. Lovely chap.

Well you are, bro. You should keep up the hard work. But don't forget to take breaks.
