If you wanted to nitpick honestly, you would say what is actually going on and the data it is trained on is from the internet and they were discouraging it from being offensive. The internet is a pretty offensive place when people don’t have to censor themselves and speak without inhibitions, like on 4chan or Twitter comments.

Grok losing the guardrails means it will be distilled internet speech deprived of decency and empathy.

DeepSeek, now that is a filtered LLM.

Starting a war, forgetting your gun somewhere and only having your spare one to work with, making the payment on your medical bills, remembering if the McRib is back, worrying that the exploited people who did all the things you don’t feel like doing will be deported, and forgetting to tell the President “thank you” every day as a tribute to their brilliant leadership.

I can barely get a pair of combat boots to last a year, except for my RATs, best damn boots to kick shit in. I always blow out the sides or crack the sole where the toes flex as the sole wears slick.

I wish they still made the RATs, I would buy two pairs.

San Francisco, I am disappointed in you for not being the first.

There is a joke about being able to fit one in, but I just can’t make it work.

I assume you mean for camping, you could, but the bird would probably love to chew through it and you are just inviting problems that shouldn’t exist. A cage would be smarter, but the while idea of taking a bird camping is just a dumb idea.

Easy to care for, not a great companion, usually not destructive for the sake of destruction and entertainment, almost no personality, can’t really mimmick sounds all that well, should have but doesn’t need a big cage, should have but doesn’t need as much time outside the cage as possible, shorter lifespan, bites are pretty weak but can still draw blood, doesn’t make a lot of loud noises, can’t play tricks on you and mimmick a laugh at your expense, more skiddish, low risk of psychological issues, harder to catch if they escape the cage or need to be put back quickly, cheap to buy and get setup for, hard to train.

They are good starter birds but don’t offer much of a parrot experience vs a cockatiel and far from an eclectus or bigger bird. Having a vet clipping their wings is wise so they are easier to catch without injury, but I favor full flight birds and I can catch a bird on the run with minimal difficulty.

Technically yes, but it is a far more tolerant species to inexperienced owners and can be a great starting point vs a budgie or finch.

OP wanted a parrot and I gave him a better option than an eclectus for his situation and experience.

Parrots are the type of animals that if you have to ask if you should get one, you shouldn’t.

They are like buying a permanent toddler with a pair of vice grips for a face that can develop trauma from innocuous things and well develop bad behaviors that have to be addressed appropriately or they will get worse. They can develop mental issues that can lead to self mutilation.

There is no guarantee that an eclectus will be anything like the bird you met. They all have different personalities and they are only vaguely similar. You can have one that is totally chill and loves to cuddle, or you can have one that has anxiety and will viciously attack water bottles and you have no idea what bird you have until it has gone through “puberty”.

If you want a bird, get a cockatiel, not a parrot.

Source: 25+ years of experience living with parrots and 4 years working in a pet store that sold parrots as the “bird guy”. My bird that has anxiety and viciously attacks water bottles is currently yelling from his cage because that is what he likes to do before bed for 10-15 minutes.

How a bird reacts to being abandoned in a strange location for a period of time depends on the bird and your relationship with the bird.

No, you can’t take a flying wild animal camping. The temperature alone would be a risk.

Yes, they can be fine riding in a vehicle if they are in a travel cage that is secure and possibly covered to minimize stress if the bird is overwhelmed. People lose their birds all the time for thinking a loose bird in a car is a smart idea.

Tell us you have no experience with parrots without telling us you have no experience with parrots.

The rich, because you will still be poor and they will be there to sell you everything once the dust settles.

Heavens no, his elevator takes a lifetime and you don’t get to listen to baby shark anywhere as much.

Baby shark on loop.

The elevator will take roughly an hour to descend 100m without an access card that only I have.

Steam.

SSRIs and gacha games would do more to win the war than yarn balls.

Just draw a square on the ground with some Genshin wishes and Prozac in them and the war would be over in a month.

Not sure who needs to know this, but you can’t pinch-zoom a photo in a magazine.

Yeah, by waiting for it to be on Game Pass.

They are substantially cheaper to make and therefore have a greater profit margin because they can charge more for the advertising space.

These types of comments from companies are for investors and not a warning to consumers of what is coming.

Risky, but easier than using your hand.

“Again? Ok, no more ambian and rum, this time I am serious.”

First see if the blood pattern tells me anything of value. Next steps are to find peroxide to clean my clothes of blood and if I am out of luck, improvise. Then I’d see if I can figure anything out about what happened. Wipe off the knife handle, scrub under my nails with bleach, cut the phone lines to the house, break the back door or a window, find anything of value to steal and bury nearby for later retrieval, then do some shots of alcohol, get in the backseat of the car and touch a bunch of stuff in the car, puke, and start walking along the road until I can flag someone down and ask to use their phone to call the cops.

After that is just a matter of knowing nothing besides going to bed after 2 Ambien and a hearty amount of 94 proof rum and waking up in the unfamiliar car and stumbling into the house and finding the stranger dead, didn’t have my phone, didn’t look for their phone because I wanted to GTFO in case the murderer was still there, went to get help and here we are.

Best case no big problem, worst case I get a few charges that won’t stick unless the victim’s phone can prove I did it. If it can prove I did it, rip bozo.
