I completely disagree. The two statements are completely clear. You can take one or the other independently and they maintain their original meaning. Like I said, the second statement bears no impact on the first no matter how you try to bend the rules. Have a nice day.
i once had a cat follow me into the depths of a mine craft cave. I left him down there years ago and still think about him.
It is syntactically two independent clauses (or a compound sentence) joined by an em dash rather than a single, indivisible thought. Each half contains its own subject and verb structure. Punctuation does not equate to inseparability. You assume second half acts as a pivot (“setup for a ‘but’”). But look at the actual words: there is no “but” or ideological reversal present. They were expressing two distinct emotional stances: a political/institutional cynicism (“I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like”) followed by a cynical motive attribution (“they’re just another bunch of assholes out to make a profit”).
wrong, the following statement had no impact on the first.
ya bro, we’re going to ban churches from showing crosses next. you got it.
What you said was “I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like - they’re just another bunch of assholes out to make a profit.” not “even if they attack someone I don’t like, I still won’t celebrate it because I know what their motivation is.”.
In or out of context, "I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like"means the exact same thing. It’s a stand alone statement not impacted by your second sentence.
Your rephrasing makes more sense and the two parts of your sentence can not be separated without changing the meaning.
not that i’m a meta fan, I fucking hate that company, but this swings both ways. Imagine your local coffee shop is boosting posts about traditional marriage and pro-life themes. They get blocked as well.
" don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like" - you should. This opens all of them up to blackmail and worse by foreign govts. Massive problem for both you, me, and everyone else. The first Tom cruise mission impossible movie was about this very same thing except it was the CIA.
uh sure. i’m a software engineer of 25 years. i’ve had google, facebook, amazon, you name it, try to get me in to interview with them without me sending resumes. I’m not a top tier super nerd coder but I’m not bad either. These stories all sound like bullshit to me. The whole “THE AI AGENT SWARM BROKE OUT OF CONFINEMENT AND STARTED TALKING TO EACH OTHER”… again, I’m a mid swe… They weren’t sandboxed to begin with - some fucking moron at anthropic gave all the agents access to a shared package registry. A simple “Do you see anyway these agents could communicate” prompt would’ve caught it. Something so fucking stupid that I wouldn’t be surprised if an intern would’ve caught it. They’re not sandboxed if they all have read/write access to a shared registry, it’s basically a big message board.
These stories just stink like marketing. I use Fable all day, I have to for my current job, it low key sucks ass.
As a millennial, these posts are cringe af.
What a stupid fucking statement. There’s not going to be any workers left.
Every centipede you see equals ~700 dead spiders that aren’t living in your house laying eggs and biting you. You’d have WAY more spiders without them
These little guys can live for up to 7 years so be sweet to them.
I look at them like this: If a company made a little robot that does it’s best to stay hidden from your view, crawls through the innards of your home in search of spiders, bed bugs, termites, and ants, it would probably cost thousands of dollars.
“In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash” if I have to walk you through this then this conversation is over lmao
nah hard disagree. Flash was the core of the web and it got gutted so Apple and Google so leach their 30% cut from their app stores. HTML / JS is still a buggy piece of crap that depends on what the major browser makers declare is valid, no better than adobe had with flash. Flash was the browser in the browser and they hated it.
lmao thanks for the laugh. HTML / JS is still a buggy pile of slop. Apple and Google both dropped support so they could stop Flash from providing app experiences through the browser and forced people into their own app stores. Flash was installed on 99% of computers around the world. It was top tier web and it STILL hasn’t recovered. The current web experience is complete garbage in comparison.
brain worm gonna brain worm. maybe it’ll go back to sniffing coke off a toilet seat one day and leave us alone.
