Taking a question like that at face value could mean they were being socially inept and lacking self awareness. It could also be motivated by jealousy if the target is getting more attention. The best approach is to fire back with both barrels, culminating in a physical altercation and criminal proceedings.

You got the good autism.

Washed down with a quad espresso and you got yourself a deal. Goodbye brain fog, hello executive function.

Most domestic insurance policies do not cover the use of a vehicle on company business and your employer would become implicated in the event of an accident. This necessarily implies that driving to work is not company business which doesn’t make sense to me. Do they think I was out for a drive each morning and just so happened to be in the vicinity of my workplace so I thought why not drop in for a shift? Them’s the rules.

If you do get into an accident and they ask you ‘what gear were you in at the moment of impact?’ Tell them Gucci sweats and Reebok Classics.

Good call. I can’t remember if kahneman talks about it in the book but there is a fascinating experiment on people who have had a procedure that severs the connection between the left and right hemispheres (epileptics). They exhibit the impulsive tendency to explain away sensory evidence that contradicts their previous statements. The theory is that speech centres inhabit the left brain and in the absence of a measured analysis by the right hemisphere they just make something up without apparently thinking it through.

It wasn’t so much building the character wrong but convincing the people around me that it was a legitimate character. The magic potions are also a game changer.

Short answer: you wouldn’t buy this game, given your valid criticisms.

This type of extortionate pricing policy speaks to the general user base being nobs, die hard try hards and probably a toxic gaming environment. Having a barrier to entry in any activity prevents total idiots from entering. Consoles have made it easier for people who don’t understand how to operate a PC to play games but that necessarily means those games will be replete with obnoxious people. The advent of smartphones has done that for the internet.

Agree. It bears all the usual blockbuster adornments of what usually turns out to be a good guys win linear snooze fest and yet defies the expectation. I prefer Cruise in atypical roles, e.g. Tropic Thunder.

It’s ofcom but my phone desperately wants it to be Offcom for some reason

Offcom has been drinking, came home in a blackout and committed domestic abuse of 4chan. Does Offcom even internet? Alternative plot twist, Offcom is trolling 4chan.

I wanna say that Offcom is doing a good job and trying to protect British people in good faith but I feel like they are being used as a cudgel by the British ruling class to advance an anachronistic agenda. Don’t forget, they fired their expert drugs advisor for telling them that MDMA is comparable to horse riding in terms of safety. They want certain things to be true, regardless of the scientific accuracy.

But is it better than a big carrot? You can’t snack on silicone.

Haven’t felt the need to block anyone but it’s nice to have the functionality

Identify a problem that you can solve using code. Use ai to help with syntax and code structure. Chip away at the problem a little bit each day.

What sort of discussion are you seeking? I’m spending most of my time in the comments, droppin truth bombs on dey heads.

Just torrent that shit while the streaming platforms get their house in order. It’s not acceptable to be racist to Linux.

Never knowingly shadow banned but never bothered to find out either. It wouldn’t be a total surprise in some subreddits. The whole concept of secretly muting people is sinister and feels like it was a later development, as the rot set in. Pretty much any commentary platform that grows large enough turns to absolute garbage. The reason I left YouTube was the same reason I left Reddit and it will be why I leave Lemmy if it grows large enough. It was kind of interesting to witness the evolution of Reddit over the thirteen years I was posting, like a car crash in slow motion. Civilisations follow a similar arc. There’s something messed up about people in large numbers, they get toxic.

This is a sane way to use LLM. Also, pick your poison, some bots are better than others for a specific task. It’s kinda fascinating to see how other people solve coding problems and that is essentially on tap with a bot, it will churn out as many examples as you want. It’s a really useful tool for learning syntax and libraries of unfamiliar languages.

On one extreme side of LLM there is this insane hype and at the other extreme a great pessimism but in the middle is a nice labour saving educational tool.

I once used a laptop in a coffee shop to write a screenplay. I had ornate facial hair and wearing a beanie. Shit was tight af. Later on I clogged their toilet.

I like your style. My day was spent deep in my special interests, today it was building a window in my workshop. Set the podcast to play and let the wood chips fly.
