I’m on .zip just because the voyager iOS app puts it at the top of the list when you sign up 😂

It was simple to sign up but I think maybe the waiting period between sign up and account creation might put off younger users who haven’t experienced it on forums etc. before, also.

The ‘modern liberals’ in the US government have been resisting social policies like single-payer healthcare and ~50% of OPs image though. Aside from like 4 people who’ve been outnumbered or just paying lip-service. Is what I meant in my comment.

Sorry but the liberals in governments all over don’t act like they believe much of this at all.

Middle management is heavily using ai for pretty much all emails as far as I can tell. Mine suddenly started sending way more emails, and they didn’t previously have full sentences…

IMO they don’t need to be replaced with ai, the whole concept of middle management can go in the bin. Boomer/xoomer jobs program (derogatory).

Fuck golf too though, wasteful af, kills local ecosystems, introduces excess fertilizers and pesticides. Makes land less affordable.

And alfalfa used for livestock feed, obviously incedibly wasteful and destructive…

Spot on for comparing to llms, all terrible 😅

For me - it’s cats. They know exactly where to jump on the bed while I’m asleep. I try to side sleep now but if I’m on my back I’m protecting 😂

It’s a supremacist thing 🫣

Which ‘views on the right’ are worth considering, in your opinion?

When has it not been true?.. my usamerican history is not great but all the republican presidents of my lifetime have been horrendous. Bush, bush 2, the current one. 🤷‍♀️ Non republicans only better by comparison…

Leland never realizing the producers were just invisibly throwing up their hands and thinking ‘that’s just what this guy sounds like…’

That’s what I thought until I tried it. Bought a game only to find out it was not for me. I’d bought it that day, played 30 mins, initiated refund. Steam denied refund, I think because I was on a VPN. $30 I won’t get back…

Less likely to buy stuff now without trying it first. Not like I have it to spare anymore these days 🤷‍♀️

Thomas is not cringe, dude. The plane character kinda cringe. Thomas is legit.

Ship of Harkinian, the PC port/decomp of TLoZ:Ocarina of Time runs so much better than any emulator I’ve tried. I am fairly confident LLMs are used in the process but there’s a lot of care put into it. Added features for speed running, changing behavior to act as the n64, GameCube or 3ds versions etc.

I think those are great but ‘Skate 3 in Minecraft in CODMW2’ just seems pointless beyond video ‘content’ 🤢

My managers seeming plenty eroded rn 😅

Sorry for just pasting these, the band always post lyrics in wall of text format because that’s kind of how the vocals come off…

Thou - Death to the King and All His Loyal Subjects

Ascending through the hive of the ancients, crafting candles of ethereal dissent, we are the heirs and masters to the grey throne of melancholia. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Towering, gilded, white pedestals erected in supplication to these raise’ed demigods, detached and preening with conceit. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Everything we’ve ever done–everything we’ll ever do–is meaningless. Attend our needs. Servants, lie in debasement, sustained on the crumbs of pseudo intellect, dime store wisdom disguised as politico philosophy. The illusion of ideology. The imposition of precious ego. No room for opposition. One view rules all. One view ruins all. What was once a strength is now an affectation, a glamour cast over unsuspecting acolytes. But straddling mystery and candor leaves the bloody lips exposed. Reticence abandoned. Mythos dismantled. Blustering malcontents, so pedestrian, so very mundane. Childish bores talking and talking and talking in circles. Oh, you treacherous swine. Self entitled scum hiding in the fog of poverty, the veil of the oppressed. Self righteous ire. Self absorbed privilege. Self aggrandizing dribble. Tribulations contrived amidst vacillating abstraction reeking of guilt and greed. Fecund ambivalence from ostentatious parasites. Deluded vanity inextricably entwined. Instability, insecurity. Flagellants revealed. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Go now to the scourge pits to atone.

Kind of niche music (blackened sludge/doom metal) but Thou are pretty much my favorite band. These lyrics are in my head a lot. The disgust of the vocalist is a form of expression I would make if I had the ability. Cathartic, imo.
