    Yeah, anyone subscribing to girls on onlyfans is an idiot. How are they incels? They’re involuntarily celibate. They’re paying girls on the internet to pretend to like them because real girls don’t. Onlyfans isn’t a “scam”. People are paying for porn and they’re getting it. Where’s the scam?

    As someone in Louisiana, I can attest to this. Also, the struggle of having to decipher if someone is talking about "L.A." or "LA".

    I have no answer but I have to say Overexposed and Songs about Jane were quite formative for my music tastes when I was a kid

    Not sure if you’re aware, but it wasn’t written for Sunny. They just licensed it for use.

    Arguably, being muscular is a male beauty standard. I would very much prefer it if men had more freedom of expression, though.

    No, it's where you can get some fire candy and totally not be enslaved by a rapping spider and used to drill to hell to sell diet pills.

    So here is what I've found so far: Getting home assistant set up with either Google gen ai, OpenAI chat GPT, Anthropic, and OLlama (if you already have OLlama running somewhere), is pretty simple and it is pretty configurable. Even though I'm trying to get away from Google, it's free so I'm using Gemini 2 for testing purposes. You can cast your dashboard to a Google/nest Hub, but idk if it can use the mic or listen for wakewords. It looks like you can't use Google home mini as a voice satellite without physically altering them, afaict (articles are a bit old). But if you're ok with getting new hardware, you can buy HA voice satellite devices, or DIY it, which can serve the purpose of Google home mini. Likewise you can get a cheap tablet and load the HA app on it, and use that in place of a nest hub. Both of these should work with wakewords and invoke the voice assist functionality. Right now I've got it set up so it can do voice assistant stuff using local TTS and STT, and with Gemini as the LLM, running on my Pi and interacting with it via the home assistant app (haven't set up wake word yet, but lots of tutorials). What I'm dealing with is that I don't wanna use Google/OpenAI/Anthropic for my LLM, and I'm not ready to build an AI home server. I noticed that CloudFlare offers AI hosting for free (below a certain usage), and since I'm already using CloudFlare for my ingress I wanted to make a new CloudFlare AI conversation agent integration, since none seems to exist. I've built a toy agent that just echos back what you say in all caps, and it works (although there is an error in the dev console that I can't figure out, even though everything seems to be working). And I've figured out how to invoke CloudFlare AI workers (CloudFlare docs are great). But the actual hard part of mapping the CloudFlare inputs/outputs to the HA assist inputs/outputs is still to be done. I still don't really fully grasp what the HACS development cycle is supposed to look like. How do I test my HACS integration locally, and safely?

    Ah fuck I just posted this one without double checking no one else had. Anyway, how did Mike Jones not end up working in advertising getting so many people to remember a random phone #?
