New FIFA head, as corrupt as the old head. Who tf cares?

speaking as a survivor, your empty apologies and platitudes mean nothing. You're obsession makes me want to slap you.

no one deserves to be raped. it's the worst, most dehumanizing/traumatic thing that can happen to a person. you're hearing the call of the void, we all do, you ignore it.

You're speaking crazy, man! a government for the people, by the people?? Do you even hear yourself??

I appreciate your very good advice, and yeah, it's something I'm concerned about for sure. Probly do a video chat this weekend 😊

haha, what I think I deserve is a kick in the teeth for wasting so much of my ex-wifes time. She is a wonderful person, and I still feel terrible about it (despite the fact I never got a cookie). Especially because, looking at any climate news gives me pure existential dread at the idea of bringing a life into this world that will have to live through the collapse of our environment and way of life. You have to have hope for the future, that things will get better, to have kids, and well... it's been really hard to hold on to hope. But, at least, with a different partner, we could at least adopt, which is also something the ex-wife wouldn't consider. I may not be able to fathom a better future enough to have children of my own, but god if I'm in the right financial space, with a partner and house and my world traveling out of my system... so many great kids out there just need a safe, loving home.

If you read the article, he talks specifically about that. The people using AI for real shit, like protein folding, can use it to improve their work, because they're experts at it, and know when the AI is fucking up. The AI helps, but could never, ever, replace them.

The other question Suresh implicitly raises is: "How can you reconcile the failure of AI in the enterprise with the individual claims of skilled technologists who insist that AI is helping them do great work?" The answer is that these AI users are "centaurs" – experienced workers who are assisted by automation on terms that they set for themselves.

Thanks to their skill and experience, these workers possess discernment, the ability to tell good code from bad, and (more importantly) good uses of code-generation tools from bad.

Just a russian hooker and putin asset with a heart of obsidian, helping traffick little girls and keep tabs on a serial rapist before being ushered into the white house and our hearts ❤️

So she went and fucked some guy

That’s not cheating.

No, that's exactly what that is. Are you the woman? Is this you trying to defend your shitty actions?

Had that recently too. Was seeing this beautiful woman, and after our second date, we went from texting everyday, a lot, to her not texting me for 2 straight days, while I was texting her. It just felt off. I saw a random article about "breadcrumbing" where people, like, give just a little bit of themselves to keep you interested, while actually chasing someone they like better. They keep you on the bench as a backup to the person they actually want. I saw it as the universe giving me a sign. Told her "I dunno what changed, but I can take a hint. Good luck out there."

10 years together. She was upfront about her long-term goal of never having children, and I was upfront about how I felt at the time, which was "meh, I could go either way."

We met while I was diving into the depths of alcoholism. My first (and only) DUI was when we'd been seeing each other for a couple months, They wanted me to pay $300 or spend a few nights in jail, I said "Lemme text my girl so she can feed my cat."

I broke up with her a few times, but kept coming back because she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever met, and we did genuinely care for each other. I said "I'm moving across country, you can come or you can stay," She came. I proposed a couple years later. We married a few years after that.

I finally got sober, and immediately knew that we didn't belong together. My alcoholism told me I wasn't good enough to be a father, but I truly do want to be one. We had become roommates, neither one of us really sharing emotionally or physically. I remember how terrible I felt, when we'd be in the same room, and instead of talking to each other, we'd baby talk to our (amazing, wonderful) little dog instead. I remember feeling so jealous of that dog, because she was so physically affectionate with her, and never (ever) me.

This is an aside, but, For our entire relationship together, the only thing I ever really asked for, was a giant cookie for my birthday. It's a family tradition, and I love them. 10 years I asked for a simple $7.99 giant cookie from the grocery store, with a Happy Birthday message, and for 10 years, she never did it. I did everything for her, took care of everything. The car, the house, the groceries, her health care, her mental healthcare... I realized that's all she wanted, was a caretaker.

Well, it came to a head one night when we were randomly talking openly, and she told me the only reason she slept with me was so I wouldn't leave her. When I sobered up, I started a mental clock of two years, and told her what I needed from her, and gave her those 2 years to fix it. She didn't, so after two years, I told her we weren't right together and we split up. I cried, so much. It was awful. I still very much love her, but, I was right. We just weren't meant for each other.

It's been 5 years since then, and I've been having trouble finding my person. I went to therapy, went HARD in therapy, really worked on myself. Got better physically, mentally, have a much better job, and just recently started texting a woman that lives a thousand miles away in Texas. She's beautiful just like my ex-wife is, except she wants to have kids.

Pray for me, bros, I really like her, and don't want to mess this up.
