c0nducktr··on A.I. Is Making Sure You Pay for That Ding on Your Rental Car
Don't worry, they'll probably make signing up for binding arbitration part of the rental agreement, conveniently having the arbitration decided by someone who sides with the company 99% of the time. It's all good though. They're certainly not scamming you.

Do you know if there's a site which will help me pick a model to run locally, based on my system specs and needs?

I wasn't aware that tobacco alternatives added MAO inhibitors to their flavorings - I thought they were basically, in the case of vapes, propylene glycol and nicotine + "flavor". Is there evidence that the flavors they're including in these are actually MAOIs?

c0nducktr··on Tesla gets more than 20% of parts from Mexico, it will be affected by tariffs
>The problem with this is that it would at most replace a fraction of income taxes.

Yeah, but it isn't like they're unaware of this. They're looting the country. If the money gained from the tariffs wont offset the tax cuts, well that must mean we need to cut further, privatize further...

I'm not criticizing the content of the post, but it feels like it was written by a LLM. Does anyone else notice that? It screams it to me.
c0nducktr··on Kentucky Cops Raid Wrong Home, Kill Innocent Man over Alleged Stolen Weed Eater
Agreed. If the state can get away with your murder because you defended yourself during a home invasion, what is the purpose of the 2nd?
c0nducktr··on Kentucky Cops Raid Wrong Home, Kill Innocent Man over Alleged Stolen Weed Eater
The police murdered a man, and if we were to pretend we didn't have a multi-tiered justice system, every officer could get charged with murder too, as they were accomplices during the act.

But of course nothing will change because they only killed a normal person.

Oh god not this nonsense "you're enslaving the doctors" argument.
