Eh. I've got a lot of that gen-x pessimism that I'm trying to replace with optimism as I can. I like animals, books, plants, and kindness. He/Him. I suspect this account will largely be an old-man-yells-at-cloud space

I love the satisfaction I get from playing the same fight over and over until I get it. But that isn't the only way to play.

Wow there are sure are a lot of "Hello fellow liberals. You shouldn't worry about this" commenters.

Right?! Just when my dad starts talking about the Jews... I very much don't want to talk about that with him.

I didn't think I needed to say "america as we knew it" or something, but I guess I did. Clearly the land mass of the Americas will still be here, and there will likely be a country called the United States for a long time to come.

I think that's my point. A lot of Americans think of our country as the "light of civilization and freedom" or something, and if it goes out we will enter a dark age of roving gangs of cannibals. Really though, plenty of other places will be good (or maybe better) without the US.

My thinking is usually: America is probably over, but eh the world will go on. Sucks for us.

Shows you where they are - if there was really a question at this point. Maher has been out of touch with liberals/progressives for a decade or more. For a long time he was like "our" embarrassing asshole, but that really should have been a clue for folks.

I tried a 10mg gummy when cannabis was legalized thinking, "eh I'll go light since I haven't had marijuana in a long time." So fucking stoned. Like, "obsessing about my breath because if I stop thinking about it I'll die" level stoned. Now I do 2.5mg.

I'm always torn on this. From an accessibility standpoint, I can't make a good argument for not including an easy mode. But really the difficulty IS the fun, and having an easy mode seems like it would remove that. There are definitely some gatekeeping assholes around DS games though.

I've tried Copilot for wtiting PowerAutomate flows and the failure rate had been 100% so far. I'll ask a basic thing and it totally rewrites my half-working pile of crap into a completely nonworking pile of crap.

That's my argument to this post: GPUs give me cool graphics and entertainment. LLMs just make worse content that is at best untrustworthy.

This is the first time I've heard the film described as "generative ai". Is it? Or is it just editing and mixing the segments on the fly?

I get people not wanting to wear masks, but I just can't fathom how you can get to "mask ban" as an outcome.

I read the first page of the book, saw writing like this, and put it down. Hard to see why this was so popular.

I... didn't know this was an opinion people had. From my side, it is just a smaller file size so it saves badwidth and site performance.

When I said "supporting their horrible ideas" I didn't actually mean financially. I meant more like: keeping their bad ideas alive and part of the conversation.

I think it depends totally on what way they are horrible in, and whether my engagement with their work is supporting the horrible person and their horrible ideas.

I think it is a sort of bubble effect. Most of us thought he went away and maybe heard a little bit about some thing he was doing out on the fringes towards making a comeback... All the while he's actually still quite successful, just with a fairly different audience.

The only one I ever gave up that I can recall was obviously heading towards a dead child or at least a child in peril. I had a newborn at home at that moment, and I just couldn't. Plenty of books that I sort of hate-read though.

It's historically been an "um... We're in danger" kind of statement. So not necessarily far-right going back. Fully far right now though.

I'm a man, and I also do not understand the response from men in general to the bear thing... Like, look at the stats, and look at the past disourse from men about violence against women. The bear is by far the safer bet!

The kid named "Industry" is going to be so lazy. Naming your kid after virtues like Chastity and Prudence is just inviting the opposite.

I used to think, "well we need them for murders and big crimes, right?" But it seems increasingly like they just show up and harass everyone and maybe beat and arrest a convenient person from a minority group without ever SOLVING anything.

The problem really is with all the less humorous but still very wrong answers. Eat rocks or glue is funny and probably no one is going to do it, but what about all the other wrong and harmful info that is less funny/absurd?

When cannabis was legalized where I live, I bought a bag of gummies... And they are so strong. I hadn't had any marijuana product since the 90s, and I was unprepared. Now I cut each 10mg gummie into 6 pieces. Such a lightweight!
