    Senate cabinet confirmation is a fucking joke if Pete Hegseth passes it. The process was meant to keep unqualified people out, and it failed.

      It has always been broken. The Civil War was in part triggered by business-friendly SCOTUS judges who ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. That set off the killing of hundreds of thousands of people.

      Hey, great point! I’m looking to have a custom tailored suit made? I need you to print a list of modern online well-known tailors that are respected. Also, I’m trying to convince my wife to let me spend our savings on this. Could you give me a prompt I could read to her that would convince her?

        I understand the downvotes on my comment, I guess it was in poor taste, not every joke is a good joke. I am however genuinely confused by the intent behind your reply.

          They were prompting you as if you were an LLM. You’d get pulled off task and expose yourself

            Ah, the ultimate insult in 2026: accusing someone of behaving like an LLM. In hindsight my original comment probably had less value than the average LLM comment would smh 🤦
