Moreover I don't see a meaningful distinction between "being mad at AI will poison your soul" and "shooting at people in GTA will poison your soul" and we've known the latter is bunk for decades now.

The part that is missed in all of this nonsense by Jay is that, statistically, *no one* cares. People using this app who know what ATProto is, much less how it works, are a statistical anomaly. They're using BlueSky, not ATProto, in the same way people were using Twitter, not whatever was underneath

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

Techbros: computer is your friend Normal people: computer is a tool SE experts: computer is your worst enemy and the less you allow it to do the better, remember to establish dominance regularly

As a programmer my days are filled with imagining untold cruelty towards inhuman things like the C++ compiler and I would argue funneling all that negative energy towards non-living things is the way to nirvana

Does anyone have any good home remedies for treating the aching void inside the dark hearts of men

You’re not supposed to clean your ears with qtip so I use a paper clip

Day 42 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

Imagine the same principle applied to dirty toilets, that should be enough to settle which approach is the correct one

She has all the money and lives in a castle and she's still not happy. Quite poorly written character tbh.

I'm sorry, I know the headline is not even about him, but how is no one commenting on this dork ass fuck look, he looks like a divorced guy cosplaying Jeff Bezos in a misguided hope of overcoming his mid-life crisis He looks as if the concept of pathetic was a rapper

"Losing My Religion" but when he realises he "said too much" he stops singing

"There was no welcome middle ground that was at all possible" ye mate one side was (is) doing a genocide??! The fuck are you talking about. Can you imagine a paragraph that said "trying to balance his longstanding affection for Germany and outrage at what was happening in Auschwitz"?

I didn't vote for Kamala and I do hate Trump probably as much as I can feel hate

It was posted to Truth Social by The Boss so it is Truth by definition.

TIL one of the titles the king of Spain, (who is just some guy but also the commander-in-chief of the Spanish army) may use is "King of Jerusalem" and that's fucking hilarious

wow have i really not written more on Yudkowsky/Soares in 16 days, well that's cos it fuckin sucks they think they're delivering solid rigorous logic. but the whole book is extended reasoning by analogy. over and over. it is deeply inchoate, handwavy and vibes based. >>

They very famously didn't, lol

I always imagine a physics professor reading papers about neutrinos or some shit and an unhinged weirdo pops into his office shouting YOU NEED TO DEBATE BEN SHAPIRO OVER WHETHER WOMEN ARE REAL, TOMORROW, OR YOU'RE FIRED! What do you even think a college is, man

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Omg I completely forgot Milei, Mr. Economy himself, was at that very shitshow. One guy underwater and begging for a bailout after all his policies failed The other turned away from power after all his policies failed Check it out now! The Failson Brothers

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Coming up to someone at a random public place *is* weird. The underlying issue is the decline of third places, where there was a shared understanding that we're at a social gathering where you might meet people. This is a local funding issue and it causes people to hangout on Discord instead.

I generally quadruple the spices in any recipe written by a white person. just like on principle

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

i'll probably catch some flak for this, but utility bills have gotten so out of control that i've started turning off the burners on my stovetop before i leave the house. it saves a lot of money! i don't need them to be on when i'm not there! i don't know what else to tell you

Being scared to socialize because people might think you’re a commie.

God dammit, TIL what a Hamburger Paragraph is and ffs How to explain writing to an American - imagine a hamburger...

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

"We are going to stop antisemitism by activating our sleeping cabal of Jewish agents that control Hollywood" is certainly a take

Which actually leads me to a genuine question: does Instagram have any features that make it irreplaceable by any competitor or is it literally just userbase capture?

It is still insane to me that this is one of the top podcasts like why are you people subjecting yourselves to this willingly

I HAD TO LEARN WHO CHARLIE KIRK WAS I will never forgive this, I will never get those neurons back

When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss becomes comforting in its familiarity and you need to find new, deeper abysses.

Newsom when people ask him about his treatment of the homeless:

Every day I am graced by a new American horror, this time it's that Americans love cops so much they made special Train Cops that are somehow even less regulated than regular cops, what the flying fuck

Shout out to the smartest FSB agent and his best work

Thank you for your attention in this matter!

These people are just so goddamn stupid it makes my head hurt Several thousand people all doing this

shut the fuck up god damn i'm so sick of everybody just quoting this guy as he tells ridiculous lies again and again
