we just need FF8R with Robert Pattinson as the lead VA to settle this debate once and for all (okay, I'm just desperate for Squenix to do more with FF8)

Maybe I'm cringe for using FFX terminology here, but one of the main points of the game is that the Church of Yevon pushed the demonization of machina to maintain authoritarian control over society while using it themselves

It’s very hard to uninvent a technology However, it’s very practical to democratize and decentralize tech in ways that transform it from a tool of control to one of empowerment

Hilarious how often “Marxists” try to defend the legacy of the Luddites. Marx had very low opinions. The point of Marxism is to seize the means of production, not destroy it.

This is projected learned helplessness Fucking organize!

There are a lot of successful left-wing streamers and YouTubers who are more invested in protecting their petite bourgeois status than improving the status quo, and you can’t unsee it once you notice it

The only way focusing on trying to stop AI is beneficial is if you succeed (you won’t, lol) But if you focus on stuff like UBI and your millenarian fantasies of the bubble bursting happen, then we still have UBI — great! And we *need* that if (when, lol) AI makes a lot of people unemployed

Being a huge sapphic by once again listening to Indigo Girls while I do weightlifting

Typical American decadence. If your hair is clean, why does it need to be soft? Think how much plastic waste is created by those bottles!

A lot of people have interpreted "it's not antisemitic to criticize Israel" (true) to mean "antisemitism is fine if it's in service of criticizing Israel" (bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD)

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness premiered yesterday and is definitely worth checking out. It's basically Curb but Larry David's self-caricature inserted into various parts of American history, hosted by Obama. (Yes, it's as insane in a good way as it sounds.)

I wanted to be able to AirPlay an mkv on macOS without having to throw it on a Plex server or something. There are apps that can do this, but all of them cost money. I was able to use AI to build one that works great in about a half-hour, lol

I LOVE MY SENATOR

It's so weird to me that we are so close to the possibility of Star Trek future and people are trying really hard to make it Dune future.

On dude's insta, he specifically complains that Scott Wiener is a YIMBY, because of course in addition to using "zionist" as a slur, this is also about the desire for protectionist Hukou-with-American-characteristics housing policies that hurt queer people, but leftishly

Many such cases in Leftist theory since the 18th Century, alas.

Boom.

People should read Marx's Fragment on Machines, I'm begging you. We want a world where people don't need to work to survive. That's the ideal. Focus on reshaping the economy to ensure everyone enjoys the fruits of automation.

Happy doggo

If Kamala had won and she had Pete Buttigieg write legislation like "models must be sent for review 30 days earlier", and "They adopt a preparedness framework", Marc Andreessen would have posted endlessly about how this is vile tyranny, they're decels, and it's basically third reich 1984.

*whispers softly* plex, jellyfin, radarr, sonarr

Out: Better things are possible In (laser eyes etc): Better things are inevitable

"just get AC" 🤝 "just vote" something virtually no one is saying is the *only* thing we need to do but serves as a way for people to be indignant about refusing to take basic action to protect themselves and their communities

Still looking for a remote senior/staff-level SWE role that can provide health/vision/dental. I'm so good at what I do, and this job search dragging on is taking such a toll on me. Any help deeply appreciated.

This is A+ content

The goal should be hyper-abundant electricity that's too cheap to meter fueled by solar and nuclear

Call me Al Bhed the way I love using the forbidden machina

A lot of the anti-AC Euros counter with stuff wrong in America, and that's fair, we have a lot of problems! But this whole, "I will not use the yankee blood magic machina, otherwise, I might raise the global temperature by 0.0000000000001°C" act while people die is so friggin stupid

I'm a Frasier superfan, and booo, no

We're getting "Donate to Trump or you'll get Stupid Claude", aren't we?

*walking up to a throuple* okay, so who is the James May, who is the Jeremy Clarkson, and who is the Richard Hammond?

Cowboy Bebop is what got me into corgis as well! Ein is short for Einstein, and Athena's name is meant to be a very loose play on that as another entity of exaltedly high intelligence.

Charlie was authentic, even if his authentic self was a shitty person Erika is very transparently fake and performing a persona.

Getting ready to submit @atmomo.xyz Companion for Firefox, woohoo Ultimately, I think this extension is going to be more critical for adoption than the app itself. Most people interact with GIF platforms more via embedded tools.

This ruling happened early in Mandy’s and my relationship and had us feeling so optimistic about the future of politics for queer people Oh you sweet summer children

A mockumentary sitcom themed fitness center called Pam & Gym

Thinking of getting an Australian Cattle Dog when I have a job again. Yeah, they’re great Bluey propaganda got to me. I love Athena and can’t imagine not having a corgi at this point, but I want a dog that can walk more than a half-mile without getting worn out 😭😭😭

Athena!

Under RFK’s rule, autists are targeted and discriminated against So we prefer the euphemistic phrase, “friend of Factorio”

He's become a major shithead these days, but I really miss this era of Ethan www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtrs...

My take on the dirtbag left thing is that I became a much more pleasant person who was more capable of effecting change when I stopped being angry and hostile to everyone, but when I did that all the dirtbag left guys starting being hostile to me. Seems like a problem.

Oh, hahaha, no no, I didn't call you a dumbass. I called you a Dumas, like the famous French writer best known for The Three Musketeers.

My dad is the type of person to say stuff like this and then go play 4x games or with his model trains
