I tried thinking of them and started laughing. Tried a second time to be sure and it happened again. Am I doing it right?

You asked for fiction so it gave you some on a whole new level.

On a more serious note, other services like bing AI chat are more suited to this. It will behave more like an assistant for this kind of query and be able to search the web for lists of highly rated scifi titles, it can also give you titles similar to something else you enjoyed.

ChatGPT is the same tech behind that but it's more closed off and unable to do those things properly. If it does spit out some good titles it'll be both a coincidence and using outdated data from whenever it was last trained.

I do this with strawberries and blueberries, should work with raspberries too. I freeze them (or buy them frozen off season), put them in a blender and put in some lemon juice. The result is basically a citrusy berry slushy/ice cream replacement. I don't purchase ice cream anymore I do this instead.

Before even worrying about the content of individual torrents people should worry about the sites themselves being full of ads, spyware and other garbage that generates revenue for shady people. There's a reason beyond just privacy that people use rss and magnet links. In an ideal scenario you never go to an actual torrent website.

I have nowhere near that many but I did try this once. Within a month it was ruined so I just caved and allowed chaos to rule my spice organization. I know where everything is approximately and can find it, I just won't send someone else to try and get any spice out of there.

I live in canada so my solution for news now will be to spin up some self hosted app that will scrape all the content and create an RSS feed that doesn't require me to go to their website. Obviously not everyone can do this but it'll overall be hurting the news sites more than anything, they literally advocated for a law that might ruin them.

I still don't really get this law. I'm not one to defend big tech companies but everyone's spent the better part of the past 20 years doing everything they could do their websites to appear at the top of search results. Now they're mad they appear and want to be paid for the privilege of being made discoverable on the web?

If it wasn't for search results, sites like lemmy/reddit and my android phone's news feed I would not go to any of these sites to begin with, ever.

If you're not using it to make money it's never not OK. I can't see it as theft. It's just a different method of obtaining the same thing that doesn't harm anyone.

Not only are those making this choice unlikely to pay anyways, but all the regular people who worked creating it already got paid so nobody can say "oh the film crew, VFX artists etc will be out of a job". No they already did their job and got paid. The investors maybe want more money but they aren't hurting for it, I don't feel anything for them.

Season 8 is the season that just started last week. There's a second episode coming out today if it isn't already.

Some sources will say there's 11 seasons because they split up some older ones for some reason but officially there is 8.

A bad CEO/Company owner trickles down to everything under them in the company. They pass major decisions or budgets (or lack thereof) that work their way down to everything if not immediately then over time. Toilets not getting cleaned probably comes down to people either not getting paid or being fired to avoid having to pay them, resulting in either no custodial staff or insufficient staff. There's no way to defend him about this.

There are places where people literally leave the window open or door unlocked so people looking to steal shit can take a look without breaking the window, see they have nothing to steal and move on.

This is a good way to get a lot of people to never pay for a video game ever again, after Steam did a pretty good job convincing people not to pirate.
