    talking about ridiculous ......

    Al Pacino will soon become a dad again, he's 83. a couple of weeks ago Robert DeNiro became a dad for the 7th time, he's 79.

    there's something irresponsible and incredibly narcissistic about this.

    And gold digging. Call me skeptical when there is a 54 year age difference between them.

    The accepted formula is half your age +7.

    So ideal for him would be 48, not 29 :laugh:

    "The instruction of God. Good things."

    God, if he exists, would surely have better things to be contemplating than any kind of interlocution with this particularly vile and nonsensical (would be philosopher who can barely read) individual.

    As for this cretin's absurd understanding of the notion of good ... let's apply the word to its more oft used sibling
    Good grief..... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Tate is the pure worst of the Internet age (Like Trump), and sure, it;s fine for old campaigners like myself to spot his cvntishness a mile off and deride it, but this crass stuff is bombarding kids.... Not good.
    I really hope the Romanians have enough that they can do this fvcker on

    You just don’t understand true love.


    For $$$$$$$

    These comment prolly should have been in the “Money can’t buy happiness” thread.

    Reminds me of a billboard on the Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel many moons ago. You saw it as you left NYC heading to Jersey. A motel (can’t remember the name) that rented rooms by the hour. Rented the billboard for a few months with the truly memorable exhortation:

    “[Happy Hour Motel]
    LOVE THY NEIGHBOR!!
    NOW!!
    For $19.99 an hour.”

    Truly, true love knows no limits.

    an AI update:

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...rch-avianca-statement-ai-risk-openai-deepmind
    This story begins on 27 August 2019, when Roberto Mata was a passenger on an Avianca flight 670 from El Salvador to New York and a metal food and drink trolley allegedly injured his knee. As is the American way, Mata duly sued Avianca and the airline responded by asking that the case be dismissed because “the statute of limitations had expired”. Mata’s lawyers argued on 25 April that the lawsuit should be continued and appending a list of over half a dozen previous court cases that apparently set precedents supporting their argument.

    Avianca’s lawyers and Judge P Kevin Castel then dutifully embarked on an examination of these “precedents”, only to find that none of the decisions or the legal quotations cited and summarised in the brief existed.

    Why? Because ChatGPT had made them up.

    ..... the lawyer who created the brief, Steven A Schwartz of the firm Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, threw himself on the mercy of the court… saying in an affidavit that he had used the artificial intelligence program to do his legal research – ‘a source that has revealed itself to be unreliable’.

    This Schwartz, by the way, was no rookie straight out of law school. He has practised law in the snakepit that is New York for three decades. But he had, apparently, never used ChatGPT before, and “therefore was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false”. He had even asked the program to verify that the cases were real, and it had said “yes”. Aw, shucks.

    "Not some Mexican farm worker named Hey-zus".

    in the fine print: "He's a Mexican call center worker named Hey-zus".

    Tough one..... Note we were huge underdogs.

    Our star defender rolled his ankle and ended up with a hairline fracture on this foot on Wednesday before the Sunday final. He's a great DM - would have made a world of difference - may not have changed the result but would have given us a really good shield.

    We went up 1-0 to shock everyone. Then their star player scored a deflected shot that wrong footed our keeper. Then he waltzed past our revamped defense and no one decided to knock him down (granted he's huge). And then finally another of their players blasted in a shot. Down 3-1.

    We then had the chance to get back into it - our star striker (headed to DC United) - laid a cross on a plate - low and at perfect speed to another player WIDE OPEN about 2 yards in front of goal. To say that is would be harder to miss than to score is the understatement of the day. He skied it. I mean perfect field goal. Entire team visibly slumped - entire sideline went crazy as they thought he was going to score for sure....instead we go down 4-1 a minute later as my son tried to head out a shot but the ball fell to their striker who one timed it.

    Our last chance to get into the game to start eh second half - our striker beats everyone and their keep comes out - our player slips in a shot that is angling for the bottom corner...... and hits the post. Another attacker going for the rebound gets taken out by their player who then feigns injury to avoid a PK (our player was injured and left the game for 15 mins) - and is back in the game 1 min later.

    Ended 6-1. Runners Up - still not bad but kids were crushed.

    On to regionals in 2 weeks.

    Too bad the score got rolled up in the end, but the kids had a great run there. Congratulations!

    Yeah thanks - we are all proud of the kids - tough they didn't wnat to hear it. I think a 5-3 scoreline would have been fair. Their 5th and 6th goals were kind of breakdowns and exhaustion on our part.

    We get our defender back for the regionals (I believe) and then we have another defender that couldn't play in the state cup portion due to joining our team late - but is now available.
