Damn, I posted this before I read the article. I thought it was pro-state, like an anarchist thing.

I know the science says it doesn’t really work but I’ve been drinking cranberry juice

It is possible, they had the means and the motivation, but it is unlikely the democrats will do anything about it either way.

It is wild how this describes like HUNDREDS of our politicians.

That is revolting. It is one thing if she is going outside to get a dirty water dog everyday. That is sick but in the correct, NY kind of way. This sounds like she has a pack of hotdogs in a minifridge in her office and she is microwaving them.

No FTL is not perfect. The final boss fight invalidates a lot strategies that you are encouraged to use throughout the game. Why does the ship continue to function without its crew? I want my pacifistic engineers to sap the energy out of the enemy’s life support system with energy weapons until the crew suffocates to deaths. I want my cloned mantis boarders to kill everyone. I want to use fire. But you can’t. The only viable strategy is to destroy the ship using regular weapons.

Engineers need to look at this and let it motivate them to unionize and build co-ops. You know the people working on this project loved it, that they wouldn’t have abandoned it of their own accord. There is no way that whatever bullshit their paymasters have them on now is as spiritually fulfilling as working on the Star Trek visor, making a genuine attempt to improve people’s lives and engender technological optimism.

No, and it is because YIMBYs do not support the building of new housing. They say they do, but their records have shown that they are liars. YIMBY policies are policies that might build a McDonalds or a super thin skyscraper or two but they have never built housing.

Donald Trump is a YIMBY, we shouldn’t be.

It’s a story about wizards letting the holocaust happen in a story whose set up was about cute animals. How do you bungle that so badly? After Harry Potter, low stakes animal adventures should have been an easy, inoffensive cash cow.

Run through her cat door at her max speed, climb up the wall, climb the ceiling to center room, jump down, look at me, meow, then top speed out the cat door.

i don’t want to use a password manager. i want to record all of my passwords in a book after encoding them as rebus puzzles.

Your phone is also likely the least secure device you have. Mine at least has a measly 6 digit password. A human shadowing you could easy watch you input a password and steal your phone.

Similar happened to me. Got locked out of steam for ages.

Human artists often make decisions based on reasons and if you ask “What’s going on over here?” and can anticipate an answer to that question, like “Some teacher or video told them that is how light works” or “They thought it looked cool”, that is probably a human. Human artists also struggle to create their art and AI doesn’t. It isn’t uncommon to find areas that it seems the artist spent way more time and energy on. Human artists use tools to create images while AI creates the images directly. If you look closely at real art you can often find brushstrokes or light and shadow work that are characteristic to some 3d modeling tools. In general, I feel like AI does really bad with lighting.

Fun little test for you

It isn’t Balatro. Why did he think he could win.

I think the raven’s bigger problem is that they are just too weak. Humans aren’t very strong by animal standards but we are strong enough to break wood and rocks. How would a raven ever get past the stone age. You’d need an entire flock of ravens with stone axes to fell a tree.

His politics were awful but what if he changed. People can change. He read the Lorax.

I mean, yes, Youdao, but I am not sure how well a Chinese translation app would would for you.

The escalators in some stations are way too long. Being on the escalator for more than 5 minutes is scary. These ones are always very steep too. Feels like I am being escalatored down to hell.

i don’t like that when i look down at the tracks the only things i can see in the track zone are rats and roaches. they should introduce some biodiversity down there. no one on inaturalist wants to see more pictures of rats and roaches.
