ауслендер в ахуе от того, что российский депутат предложил отправлять бродячих собак на сво, чтобы они собой раз минировали минные поля.

а я вот больше охуеваю от того, что госдума и прочие товарищи, которые отправляют на сво людей, чтобы они собой разминировали минные поля, эту идею почему то осудили.

выходит как всегда, россиянам собак жальче чем людей. почему? жалеть собак безопасно, а если жалеть людей, можно за дискредитацию загреметь.

вконец ебанутая страна.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I hope you all have the most wonderfully delicious day of feasting and giving thanks with family and friends. I am thankful for so much, including you! 💗🦃

There will be no video today, but stay tuned for more CoA soon!

If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction.

The sun is shining, and I'm feeling crappy.

I hope this Thursday makes you happy.

If you want a specific example of why many researchers in machine learning and natural language processing find the idea that LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude are "intelligent" or "conscious" is laughable, this article describes one:

Researchers discover a shortcoming that makes LLMs less reliable

MIT researchers find large language models sometimes mistakenly link grammatical sequences to specific topics, then rely on these learned patterns when answering queries.

Häppi Schmökering! 📚

Alberta and Ottawa signed a memorandum of understanding that gives the province special exemptions from federal environmental laws and offers political support for a new oil pipeline to the B.C. coast.

The deal ties approval of “one or more” privately financed pipelines to a carbon capture, utilization and storage project in northeast Alberta.

The pipeline proposal will be submitted to the Major Projects Office by Canada Day.

There are several references to supporting Indigenous “co-ownership” of the pipeline.

The B.C. government is opposed to the pipeline deal, which Premier David Eby said would allow some tanker traffic on the province’s North Coast despite a current ban.

Eby warned that carving out exemptions to a tanker ban “is like explaining to a vegetarian that they’ll still be a vegetarian if they eat a few steaks.”

Dherlieth Crieran, the dark elf priest, lifted his hands to the heavens. "I believe in no god," he intoned, "and so I direct my prayers to the infinite void of space. May I, by my own magic, restore this corpse back to life, whole in body and mind. If a soul exists, then may it return to this, it's abode."

The dead dwarf stirred. He opened his eyes.

Sven the paladin frowned. "An athiest priest should not be able to resurrect the dead."

"But he can," replied Anika. "Praise the void!"

I have an air fryer now 😁

I'll forever be grateful for Skillet's Music. Their music (and many other bands) has always been a rock for me. Has helped me keep faith.
Many Christians are claiming their rendition of O Come O Come Emmanuel is satanic or demonic. Those Christians need to check themselves at the door. This band's faith is solid.
What we should be doing is praising God for the conquering of an outcast genre of music.

Side note: Recently, the song at the top of the Christian much charts was AI generated. In my opinion, that's much closer to being demonic than anything Skillet has done.

Premier Christianity: Angry Christians are condemning Skillet’s ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’ as ‘demonic filth’. I think they’re wrong

Christian heavy metal bands are reaching countless people who would never step foot inside a church, argues London School of Theology's Dr Daniel Johnson.

i am a bit of a broken record about this BUT if you
1. live outside the USA, and
2. are viscerally revolted by ICE, then:

there is almost certainly something similar happening where you live, and which you are well-placed to take action against: electorally, in your day-to-day conversations (which country isn't immigrant-baiting these days?), through associations that help immigrants, and associations that do activist/advocacy work.

Whenever I see a generated image of what is supposed to be Ada Lovelace, I feel compelled to work on my portrait drawing of her. Based on the only two photographs of her.

She wanted to be remembered, not turned into an AI-generated Victorian Bratz doll, and she thoroughly disagreed with the usage of machines without vision.

Hey lovelies

We'd like to ask you all for your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas to help us resolve an ongoing issue.

The issue

At a high-level, we are a neurodivergent (AuDHD) spoonie with a mixture of health issues that are preventing us from being able to get or do a "typical" job and earn an income.

By "typical" job, we mean one where the company and role just aren't well-suited to many folks who are disabled (including being neurodivergent), have support needs, and/or have other health issues.

Most "typical" jobs broadly:

• Have fixed hours (start/finish times and total working hours required).
• Require a minimum fixed amount of time in a physical office.
• Require a lot of interaction with other people (including colleagues).

... and so on, so you can probably understand how difficult it is for us to find any suitable paid employment that we can do 😅

This is made harder by the fact that:

• We only know how to search for "typical" jobs.
• There is zero support within the UK for finding suitable employment outside of "typical" jobs.
• The welfare system within the UK is fundamentally (and intentionally) broken

The request

We have zero idea where to even start, so we are genuinely asking for your input and recommendations here.

We have decent reading comprehension, writing ability, and neurospicy pattern recognition, but we also have an inconsistent level of executive function and energy (physical and mental), so we can't do a job where we have to clock in and out at set times, even on a part-time basis.

Even whilst writing this post, we're already out of spoons and on to knives today, meaning that we're pushing through to ask for help.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, and we'll add additional details to the post based on any questions or thoughts from others 🥺🫶

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, as well as your empathy, understanding, and kindness

So what is everyone using to *parse* emails in PHP?

I don't want to send emails! I am receiving emails and need to parse them. Ideally I'd get a Symfony\Component\Mime\Message back...

Is there already something? Preferrably without too many unnecessary dependencies (looking at you, Carbon et al)...

Or do I need to write something?

Earlier today I read a post where a blind person was thrilled by the customer service offered by Chase bank because they got their card numbers in braille a couple of weeks after they got their new card. I'm not replying to that post, because I have a different interpretation.

I am a Chase customer. I needed to have a card replaced. I got the new card and got the braill card information a couple of weeks after I got the card. Since my card was replaced, I couldn't wait weeks for the braille numbers to be mailed to me.

While it's an improvement that we can, eventually, get the card information in braille, it's important to realize this is not good customer service. This is not even equal treatment. Can anyone imagine a world where sighted people got their card in the mail but didn't have its numbers until weeks later?

Everyone knows Chase would never treated sighted customers like that. So, why do we give them so much credit when the service they provide us is so much less than the service they provide sighted customers?

One reason very little is accessible more than 35 years after adoption of the ADA is that we don't believe we are entitled to the same access and service provided people without disabilities. Until we start demanding full access, we will always have less access. This is especially true when we go out of our way to congratulate entities for providing us service people without disabilities would consider unacceptable.
