I just think this is funny as frick, and I'm sure u all know about this already but I was reading some reddit thread cope from Elizer Yudkowsky about the rokos basilisk situation

Recap as follows:

>Elizer Yudkowsky creates forum, LessWrong, for ppl to goon over rationality and benificial AI applications

>Roko comes up with a mindfricky idea that if AI gets sophisticated enough one day, it will torture anyone that wasn't dedicated to improving it

>LW creator (Yudkowsky) spergs at him for daring to say AI could be evil, bans all mention of the topic for years

In summary, highly rational and highly r-slurred

I mean sweaty that's kind of sexist

In the Old Testament, actually texts that were lost, then God, meaning Yahweh creates angels of light, and angels of Darkness. He allows the angels of darkness such as Belial continue existing, while at the same time, the angels of light war against the angels of darkness or ignorance. Why is this?

Belial although an angel who causes people to turn against God, is also known in Judeaic theology as an angel associated with fornication, wealth, and pollution.

If you take a monothesism approach to Christianity, then God allows evil to exist because you can't have good without evil, or vice versa, which is kind of the issue with monothesism.

It's easy just to call "demons" evil spirits, and good spirits "angels" but that is a really simplified view. In Judaism, then evil comes from God and he isn't this being of pure light, he's more like an unbalanced force that can both destroy as he can create, his actions depending entirely on how he is feeling.

Here is the secret about spirituality. You are allowed to explore, and discover God for yourself. I say things are true, but the actuality is that the spiritual is more fluid than the psychological, which is more fluid than the material, just like how ice becomes water, becomes air. This is an example of the hermetic axiom "As above, so below" which means that which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above. Something on the spiritual can be both true and false. This is the secret to spiritual truths. For me, I don't want to believe in a God that is schizophrenic and unstable such as the God in the Old Testament, why not just create a new God such as a God of love, knowledge and light? !actualbiofoids

The term Diablos which means devil means "to slander" and the term "Satanas" means Adversery. If you are afraid of the devil, then you really need to stop and learn to create a new reality, one that doesn't involve fear, because it's just a title for an angel that is responsible for testing the faith of his followers. There is no devil. The term Jesus used were names calling them a Slanderer. When Jesus used the term "slanderer" to the adversary "Satan" of God, he was name calling an angel sent by God to test his faith.

Been pretty watching how fast this project progressed.!bharatiya less than one year back literally none of this was there. Feels very China esque. They'll finish by the first deadline. Meanwhile metro back home can't even join two of the three separate lines.

A guy I was with at a party told a girl he “liked her boobs” and got her number??

I was at a party… Not a particularly trashy or dingy one either. Just a bunch of smart professional seeming gpeople from a relatively upscale and prestigious university mingling and dancing casually.

I meet this guy who was definitely handsome but not particularly. Tall as shit though like 6”2 or 6”3 and pretty fit with long hair. I was talking to him for a while and he was pretty cool and seemed pretty normal and all the sudden this cute normal put together girl with noticeably large boobs under her shirt walks by and he just goes “Hey.” pointing at her “you, yeah, you. I like your boobs.” It wasn't delivered very douche-ily; but obviously it's an inherently douche-y thing to say

She stood there for a second as I stood in shock and asked “Do you want my number?” and he just answered “Sure” and she gave it to him.

She could easily have walked away without any consequence he wasn't following or harassing her or anything she CHOSE and OFFERED to give him her number.

Afterward I was fricking dumbfounded and asked the guy WTF just happened and he was like “What? I complimented her and she gave me her number” and took a sip of his drink like it was nothing.

This goes against everything I know about dating and flirting and relationships and women and everything about humanity in general.

I know that some women are just into trashy guys or attracted to boldness or confidence but this is like a very attractive very sophisticated 22 year old woman who is presumably quite refined and intelligent considering the university she goes to.

What happened here? How did this work? If you are handsome and tall can you really get away with shit like this? He seemed genuinely unsurprised and casual throughout the whole thing even after the girl left so apparently it was normal for him.

WTF??!?!?!

Edit: To all the people saying “he's handsome and tall, that explains it.” He was not much more handsome or fit than average and about the same height as me which is for whatever reason typical in our age group and school (not many men under 6”0).

And he was SO BOLD AND CASUAL. Like unbelievably. Clearly this line or similar is working for him A LOT.

And he did not know the girl and she looked like the absolute last type of person it would work on.

This situation is a lot more confounding then I think many of you are giving it credit for.

Edit 2: I am a straight male

Red Lobster Considers Bankruptcy to Deal With Leases and Labor Costs

- Company working with King & Spalding for restructuring advice

- Owner Thai Union earlier wrote down its investment in business

Seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster is mulling a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as it looks to restructure its debt, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Red Lobster has been getting advice from law firm King & Spalding, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. The dining chain is considering a possible Chapter 11 filing to shed some long-term contracts and renegotiate a swath of leases, the people said.

Red Lobster's cash flows have been weighed down by onerous leases and labor costs, among other issues. Restructuring discussions are ongoing and a final decision hasn't been made, they said. Filing for bankruptcy would allow the company to keep operating while it works on a debt-cutting plan.

Messages left with Red Lobster and King & Spalding were not returned.

Red Lobster traces its roots to a single restaurant in Lakeland, Florida in 1968, according to its website. The company introduced its popular cheese-flavored biscuits in 1992, and Red Lobster now boasts hundreds of locations across the US and Canada, along with international franchises.

The restaurant chain has gone through multiple owners and management changes in recent years. Thai Union Group Plc, which took control of the company in 2021, this year wrote down its stake in Red Lobster and said the company's “ongoing financial requirements no longer align with Thai Union's capital allocation priorities.”

Fortress Investment Group is a key lender to Red Lobster and is among those involved in current debt negotiations, the people said.

A representative with Fortress declined to comment.

Golden Gate Capital took over Orlando, Florida-based Red Lobster from Darden Restaurants through a leveraged buyout in 2014. Thai Union owned 25% of the chain before buying Golden Gate's stake in 2021.
