Stupid but funny.

Long but good.

What's the best game deal you ever got?

For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don't remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven't played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

What's a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can't really tell much a difference. I'm tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances...

Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?

I play with Bard, Bing, OpenAI, and I get annoyed when it tells me it can't do something.

Believe it or not I don't care about porn or lewd stuff, I just want to be absurd and sometimes that goes weird places and gets filtered.

So what should I try? I want ease of use and am willing to pay for it. Ideally it has an offline mode and does not store user data.

Sitting here watching paw patrol with my kids for the 10th time, got bored. Used AI.

INT. PAW PATROL HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT

RYDER, a 10-year-old boy and the leader of the PAW PATROL, a team of talking dogs who perform rescue missions, is in his office, talking on the phone.

RYDER: Yes, Mr. President, the shipment is on its way. Don't worry, no one will suspect a thing. The Paw Patrol is the perfect cover for our operation. (laughs) Who would ever think that a bunch of cute puppies are actually smuggling weapons to your country?

He hangs up the phone and turns to his computer screen, where he sees a live feed of a cargo plane flying over the ocean.

RYDER: Excellent. Everything is going according to plan. Soon, I will have enough money to fund my ultimate project: the Paw-nator. A giant robot dog that will destroy anyone who stands in my way.

He laughs maniacally.

Suddenly, he hears a knock on the door.

RYDER: Come in.

The door opens and CHASE, a German shepherd and the police dog of the Paw Patrol, enters.

CHASE: Ryder, sir, I need to talk to you.

RYDER: What is it, Chase?

CHASE: Well, sir, I've been doing some digging, and I found something very disturbing.

RYDER: What do you mean?

CHASE: I found out that you've been selling weapons to developing nations, using the Paw Patrol as a front.

RYDER: What? That's ridiculous. Where did you get that idea?

CHASE: I hacked into your computer, sir. I saw the records, the transactions, the video feeds. It's all there, sir. You can't deny it.

RYDER: Chase, I'm sorry, but you've made a terrible mistake. You've stumbled upon something you shouldn't have. Something that's bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than the Paw Patrol.

CHASE: What are you talking about, sir?

RYDER: I'm talking about the new world order, Chase. The world is changing, and I'm changing with it. I'm not just a kid anymore, Chase. I'm a visionary, a leader, a mastermind. I'm the one who's going to shape the future of this planet, and you're either with me or against me.

CHASE: Sir, you've gone mad. You've betrayed everything the Paw Patrol stands for. You've betrayed your friends, your team, your country.

RYDER: No, Chase, you're the one who's betrayed me. You're the one who's betrayed the Paw Patrol. You're the one who's betrayed your duty.

CHASE: My duty is to protect the innocent, sir. To uphold the law, sir. To stop the bad guys, sir. And right now, you're the bad guy, sir.

RYDER: Is that so? Well, then, I guess we have a problem, don't we?

He presses a button on his desk, and a trap door opens under Chase, sending him falling into a dark pit.

RYDER: Goodbye, Chase. You were a good dog, but a bad cop.

He closes the trap door and resumes his evil laughter.

FADE OUT.
