There are already dozens of men trying to chat her up on Insta, that's a fact of life for any pretty Indian girl




Is it somehow worse for Indian girls than whites girls? Or is it just that the kind of man to ask for bob and vagene online would more readily proposition an Indian girl instead of a different race?

Certainly caging other human beings ensures freedom of movement in that, if you cage enough criminals, it becomes safe to walk through neighborhoods at night and parts of a city don’t become no-go zones.

Stenislaw Lem's Solaris might be worth a read if you haven't already. It doesn't play with a narrative convention at all though, but conveys a sense of something truly alien.

Let users assign tags to other users viewable only to themselves (the tagging user, not the tagged user).


Would make it easier to more quickly thought-terminate my reading early on with friend vs enemy tags. No I don’t remember usernames, I’m from the anon image boards over the hill.


Mostly kidding on the above but you should absolutely not prevent users from autistically focusing on their own hobby horse and sharing continuous updates with us, even if it’s just beating the (now dead) hobby horse. I’ll collapse the comment section if it’s tiring.

After the kerfuffle everyone moves on. There's no reason to think it will be different this time.




There might be indication of this being an unusually severe flare-up, or that forces on the ground feel otherwise, when we read the following communiqué by the main French police unions, essentially declaring France is in a civil war and that the police is in the resistance against the government:




"Now that's enough...






Facing these savage hordes, asking for calm is no longer enough, it must be imposed!






Restoring the republican order and putting the apprehended beyond the capacity to harm should be the only political signals to give.






In the face of such exactions, the police family must stand together.






Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer bear the tyranny of these violent minorities.






The time is not for union action, but for combat against these "pests". Surrendering, capitulating, and pleasing them by laying down arms are not the solutions in light of the gravity of the situation.






All means must be put in place to restore the rule of law as quickly as possible.






Once restored, we already know that we will relive this mess that we have been enduring for decades.






For these reasons, Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police will take their responsibilities and warn the government from now on that at the end, we will be in action and without concrete measures for the legal protection of the Police, an appropriate penal response, significant means provided, the police will judge the extent of the consideration given.






Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will be in resistance and the government will have to become aware of it."




I haven't verified the authenticity of this (I found it off some nobody on Twitter, and they were a left-leaning pro-capitulation to these ethnics), or know enough facts on the ground to interpret it. I've attached a screenshot of the original French.

Eggs are retrieved and then mixed with sperm outside of her body (they are fertilized in vitro). The resulting embryo(s) grow in an incubator for a few days. Embryos are then typically tested, and (usually) one is chosen to be implanted while the rest of the embryos remain frozen for later use.




Not sure I buy “For later use”, This sounds like systematic murder of the unborn, if you hold that life begins at conception.

How much do they hold in escrow for your deposit? You should 100% fuck with them one way or another, perhaps cost them damages in excess of $300 that they can’t trace back to you (this is trivial). But you need to own property to avoid this in the future.

Furthermore no one actually wants LLMs to hallucinate. No one thinks it's desirable.




Aren’t hallucinations how they role play and create hypotheticals, fantasy environments and other creative items?

PM me your sentiments instead. I’ll tip you.


I’m very surprised, in the past 5-10 years there have been a number (handful?) of these high visibility cases where the family, typically parents of these victims make sure to prioritize giving a public statement of some racial slave morality bent. In a proper country these family members would be held accountable as accomplice to these homicides. I’ll throw “stochastic” in front of homicide to give it the imprimatur of reason.


As the wheel turns in reaction against the culture these displays issue from, we might one day delight in seeing them crushed underneath that wheel.

If you get something like this going let me know. I’m exploring local LLM use-case of cybersecurity packet analysis. Loading bulk data separately from prompt engineering etc, this all is complicated by a small 2k context length. Newer open models have landmark attention tech for 10/30k+ context length, but they are less sophisticated 7/13billion parameter models compared to the 30b ones I’ve been using.

I’ve never heard of Battletech until now, but the post from the new guard made reference to the old guard having an ”1988” stipulation rule - is this some attempt to delineate the franchise prior to some woke spoilage?

ethno-religious oppression in China entails internment, sterilisation, forced labour and physical maltreatment (even torture) in those camps at the hands of state authorities.




While I fully believed this as far back as high school, I’m not sure I do anymore. Do you have any solid non-western sources for this?
