I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

as the world turns
A while back, Michael Cohen filed a legal brief to get out of post-prison court supervision. It was a clear AI-hallucination brief, so we all figured one of his lawyers used ChatGPT to make it.

Nope. Cohen himself did it through Google Bard. Then his lawyers didn't check because well, Michael Cohen is a lawyer and he must've got the brief from another one of his lawyers!

This is exactly where I'm at. I'd rather pay a higher price so I can have more accountability and an actual pathway towards resolution if I have an issue with something I've ordered. It's been a rare occurrence, but it's worked out in my favor when that happens.
Yeah, I've increasingly gone this route where possible. The cost is unfortunately prohibitive for a lot of folks (certainly was for me up until a few years ago!), though some of that expense may be going into higher quality and durability as much as it is higher wages and safer working conditions for the workers. Wish there were a good resource that could help identify such options and not just be in it for the affiliate/advertising money.

As Amazon got so bad with pirated products that manufacturers started to refuse to honor warranties of their items bought via Amazon, and Amazon made it a bitch to ship to my previous weird APO (lots of stuff was outright denied at checkout, or sent to an aircraft carrier FPO on multiple occasions), and finally Amazon asked for my bank records for my credit card due to a return, I gave Bezos the finger and never looked back. I get my stuff faster by buying it from a brick and mortar store, with great return policies, so dealing with Amazon is a total no-go for me. In fact, I stopped shopping online altogether, brick and mortar is so much more pleasant.

I'm guessing he was the member of a hate group if the completely unprovoked culture war comments of "wokeness" are anything to go by.

Like why are a hundred dudes already commenting how it's all the liberals fault when there's literally no details? Just straight up wailing and gnashing of teeth over a bog standard dismissal, but they're sure to blame Obama, liberals, women and minorities in service, and ostensibly they shouldn't know why it's happening.

E: oh his superior officer is an Obama appointment and a woman nvm they're just loving mad and white. Maybe that was this dudes problem.

Welp, hope his buddies get caught up in it like the rest of the 3% crowd if that is the case.

Fired at that level always means relieved of command and given whatever arrangements are necessary to be allowed to retire.

Hell, these O-6 commanders being relived and told to retire likely still have 24 years in or something, so more like $93k/year plus benefits.

Someone walking out at O-5 and 20 years of service on the dot is looking at $64k/year.

My old skipper will hopefully be walked out as a 20 year O5, and that motherfucker caused $500M in damage to an irreplaceable asset, I was using that as the best case scenario.
