It sure looks like he tried to cover up a bug bite or some other kind of rash to me, but two things:

1. Who the fuck cares about what T-bag’s hands look like? He’s an unhealthy elderly man.
2. It’s just another example of how sad, disturbed, and insecure this fool is. When most people get a big bug bite on their hand, they just forget about it until it goes away. Maybe put a bandaid on it if it’s really gross. He’s such a deeply strange man.

I loved coming across the various hot springs in Ghost of Tshushima, especially the ones that are really well hidden.

As I was reading this, I was thinking to myself, “Huh, this is written really badly. Huh, I’m pretty sure they repeated the same point a bunch of times. Huh, this sure sounds like bullshit LLM slop.”

Lo and behold, when I got to the end:

For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.

So yeah, you should skip this story, it’s not worth your time.

This is exactly it. Unless we get really specific, this shit is more of the same middling platitudes, and different audiences will only hear what they want to hear. Seriously disappointing, and not at all helpful.

Ex-politicians like Obama (but not just him) need to shut the hell up unless they have PRACTICAL ideas that we can use. Someone like Obama should understand that his words have gravitas (love your username btw, fellow Banks fan I presume?), but his rhetoric goes straight in the garbage unless it’s backed by actionable ideas.

Agreed.

This is super helpful, thanks for the explanation.

Much of the camp was built in a high risk flood zone, a zone where building is strictly illegal in many states with responsible safety measures. Since Texas doesn’t give a shit about human life, they not only allow building in dangerous flood zones, but they clearly don’t have the infrastructure to make it even remotely safe.

The camp never should have been built there. This tragedy is exactly why planning for future risk when building something (especially something for kids, but that’s pretty much irrelevant) is not optional.

Clyburn arguably shares a big chunk of the blame for our current situation. He’s the reason Biden was resurrected from the bottom of the primary barrel, and why nearly the whole establishment fell in line overnight. Biden had almost no chance of winning the 2020 primary, until Clyburn.

So fuck this, fuck Newsom, and fuck the DNC’s inevitable force-feeding of a candidate nobody wants. They are incapable of learning the simplest lessons.

My bad, that part of the cross-post text wasn’t visible.

Yeah I still rely on fansubs for all my jdramas that don’t get official releases outside Japan (which is still most of them). The quality is instantly obvious compared to machine-generated crap.

Cultural context and an understanding of tone and narrative coherence is critical for subtitles if you want to do justice to the quality of the writing in the original language.
