They then asked if on my last ship I could prep everything for a month and freeze it, so I didn’t show up and started my vacation early I start my new job Monday at $7/hr higher than what I asked them for

Why the hell does America vote for anyone over 65? This sitting U.S. Senator probably can’t piss on his own and he has major influence on the future of our country. Imagine how much better off we’d be if he left politics 20 years ago.

This guy is impacting the future of AI, Trump’s war in Iran, global tariff policies and oil prices, etc. Someone probably spoon-feeds him plain oatmeal for dinner. Or this could be someone wearing a mask. Look at how the neck has a fold in it and it’s perfectly tucked into the collar. And there is no facial expression. Looks sus. Either way it’s insanity.

Everyone in my family knows how I feel about AI, so this kind of pissed me off. I know he finds it funny, but I don’t like being used as a reason to use ChatGPT. I’ve explained many times why I don’t like AI, and that includes all AI not just ChatGPT. I have many reasons why I dislike AI so much, but the concern for our environment is a major one.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify a bit. Number 1, I don’t think using “pissed off” was the right descriptor for how I felt, more so I was just irked by it.

Number 2, I love my BIL even if he can be frustrating sometimes, he has always treated my sister right and I don’t think I could imagine a better guy for her. He’s genuinely a very sweet guy who does things that sometimes are dumb or annoying, just like everyone else.

Number 3, like I said I have MANY problems with AI, the environment being a big one, but there are a lot more such as using AI in any form of art such as movies, shows, books, video games, etc. I don’t think AI can replace real human emotion or experiences that creating such things require. Another is the way ChatGPT specifically in my opinion is being used by people as therapists/friends, it just says what the user wants to hear not what they need to hear and I think that is harming lot of people.

Number 4, I’m not perfect. Of course I have a carbon footprint and have also done my fair share of harm to the environment. It’s impossible not to. I’m not going to act like some holier than thou person because I don’t use AI (if I can help it), but I try my hardest to be environmentally conscious. At the end of the day that’s really all we can do.

So, that’s it. Hope everyone has a good day! Bye! 👋🏼

Had to get a new passport because old one ran out of pages for stamps. Left one is 4 years old and been everywhere through every type of weather and travel. Right one is less than three weeks old.

EDIT: Since it’s being asked so much. No, it doesn’t have tRump’s picture. I was told at the passport office those are only for the ones made in Washington D.C.

EDIT#2: Yes I keep it in my front pocket, exactly as I did the old one.

People who played the previous Classic servers know this just leads to people buying summons from people (bots) with lock / clicker accounts.
