Messed up teeth can wreak havoc on your health, they just make you constantly sick all the time. It sucks. If I ever get my teeth fixed and it involves removing a bunch of them I probably won’t go this route, but I kinda get it. The dental equivalent of mounting your nemesis’ head on a pike.

The Post Office is secretly being controlled by the US Government. If you look at the actual laws of the US it allows the President to appoint someone called the Postmaster General who’s in charge of the whole thing.

I think it would be a pretty good prank to bring this up in a “favorite crazy conspiracy theory” conversation where all but one participant agrees that it’s a baseless conspiracy theory and see if the one other person insists that the Postmaster General Theory is real, or goes along with the crowd. But I really don’t think my friends are coordinated enough to pull it off.

Kinda. I definitely had hamburger helper back in the 80s, but kit meals were a luxury we could only sometimes afford. Necessity is often the mother of culinary invention but even among “the poor” there’s some variability in cash and time (and information availability) constraints, and things like hamburger helper (cheap but not the cheapest, but also quick and easy to make) have been a fixture alongside the true broke-ass “we need food and have basically zero money” recipes.

Wow, I had forgotten how much I used to detest lima beans. Don’t think I’ve had them since I was a kid. I wonder if I’ll like them now.

A quick search says cheddar and blue cheeses for this type.

Usually not. I have not had the pleasure of this particular variety but in my experience it’s just plain old pasta and cheese and herbs.

Grew up poor, didn’t know it. Lots of Mac 'n Cheese w/ hotdogs and canned vegetables. I remember the first time I had a fresh green bean, I was put off by the texture. Wasn’t used to vegetables with structure.

Edit: also a fair amount of Hamburger Helper in my childhood. It’s OK.

Pasta and seasoning. And cheese I guess. Intended to me mixed with ground beef in order to stretch it into more meals. It’s not awful, just poor people food.

the garden variety eugenicist shitheel kind. I always hope it’s just an edgy kid who got on the wrong forums and craves the attention, but they’re also doing pro-russia FUD, so there’s a small but depressingly real chance that this is their job.

I had thought I had seen both as well.

Skipped over the opening graphic on first read but just read it. Could they have picked a creepier sample sentence.

You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole, but it turned up an interesting answer. Turns out they are nondeterministic, and why they aren’t deterministic is still an open question https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeating-nondeterminism-in-llm-inference/

LMAO I came in to the comments to ask “why are you even on social media then?” and I did not expect the answer to be “to advocate for eugenics”

Oh lord, this one got me good ❤️
