When you are at a crowd work comedian show in the seats your wife booked. *chuckles* "I'm in danger"

Seems legit.

Have yet to meet someone with ginger hair who grew up in NZ and wasn't bullied for it.

"These violent attacks on our masked thugs who kidnap and assault immigrants must stop"

My favourite game of all time Hades, just released the sequel. I am so excited, and it seems to improve on everything from the first.

Can't help but feel that people have been highlighting the danger of algorithms on feeding people into radicalisation pathways since their inception, and nothing has been done, and they have grown...

I get ads for 'plant based medicine' that seem to indicate that our medicinal scheme quite often seems to be rubber stamping prescriptions, and... why not just legalise at this point.

Should have legalised in 2020. All of this could be legislated and making legit money, with regulation and taxation, but NZ decided to be dickheads about gangs instead. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The issue with the general US public is that they appear to eat this obvious planted shit right up. Between the law enforcement published text exchange and then this absolute farce written on ammunition, I am beginning to think that this 'evidence' is being used to manufacture consent to detain.

FBI: "There was anti-ICE writing on the bullet." *flash over to the scene of the crime* *bullet has "anti-ICE" written on it* This is not real. This is a Family Guy bit.

Wasn't a huge fan of how Jacinda Ardern used her political capital but there were things that I didn't know had two purposes. Was nice to hear that the school lunch program was also used partially to help women get back into employment after COVID-19. Current government undid all that.

Subtly downgrade a band The Local

Glad to see part time workers will be able to adjust to part time sickness.

This message is brought to you by the current political moment. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you.

Autistic people fucking creates more autistic people. Sick of this absolute bullshit.

Silksong is a masterpiece. I am up to the 3rd Act. It took me a horrifically long time to get here as playing precision platformers (or super hard games in general) isn't what I am used to. Worth it though, just incredible world building and music/art.

PSA: Remove any digital photos you have of your children online that can be seen publicly. You do not want them scraped and fed to AI that generates pornography, as is currently happening.

Feels like Team Cherry just poured all their hate into Bilewater. Never played through a more punishing and unrewarding zone in a game in my life.

This Week's Onion Magazine:

This is the best book I have read on AuDHD from a scientific/shared medical/neurodiversity model perspective. It has some great explanations of the unique interplay of ADHD and Autism within the same person.

People who buy into AI hype show who are extremely susceptible to flashy marketing with no substance.

The only ethical way to watch US tv shows:

Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong to remind myself in a bleak, cruel, unforgiving world, there is hope that seemingly insurmountable odds can be overcome. It's a great break from reality.

Controversial opinion time: Undiagnosed and unrecognised ADHD often is a valid excuse. It becomes an explanation when you know what is going on, and is no longer an excuse. (Applies to behaviour that doesn't harm others only).

Wonder how low attendance of the FIFA world cup next year is going to be.

"11% of people think that if someone doesn’t physically fight back, you can’t call it rape" Wow. Over 1 in 10 people is an incredibly disturbing statistic.

it's a small thing right now but if the worst people in the country are upset by a failure to mourn properly they will collapse where they stand when the day comes and there's actual spontaneous celebrations

Wonder if this might be fabricated...

Whenever I commit a heinous act, I always send the exact details of my incrimination across a messaging platform that is tracked, making sure to touch on all the important evidence that will be used in the case against me, just to ensure I get away with it.

Seeing a Fox news guy pitch a US version of Aktion T4 (involuntary euthenasia of disabled, poor, and mentally ill people) live on air while people bemoan the lack of sympathy for a rightwing chud shows just how far down the Nazi path the US is now.

Just finished the original Hollow Knight. Got the basic bitch ending, mainly because I don't think I can be bothered learning precise telegraphing.

The thing about Charlie Kirk is that it's so easy to just report the words he said and let your audience form their own opinion. Pitching him as a martyr while refusing to quote him is a deliberate choice, and yet it's one that basically every NZ media outlet has made.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Wow stuff is complete garbage, but they actually have an entire section of their website dedicated to a right wing shitspeech dude. Truly a new low: www.stuff.co.nz/topics-charl...

Wonder when UE5 AAA developers will learn that you need to optimise as you go. You have to design for performance.

The timing of this attack right as Poland calls on NATO and invokes Article 4 is a peculiar coincidence. Not claiming a grand conspiracy but if you wanted to draw the attention of the POTUS, this would do it.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

“This is going to make the Right violent” - they gunned down a Dem politician, her husband and her dog, they’re kidnapping people off the streets, they’re arresting their political opponents, guys I don’t know what to tell you but you are already there. The Rubicon was crossed long ago.

"Why are no people who were constantly targets of my rhetoric showing me sympathy when I die?" Is just a wild take.

So sad

Why the fuck would we care that some fascist asshat got assassinated in a nation that is not our own ? As a country ? Fuck off ACT you dickheads.

Escalating violence is a hallmark of fascist nations.

This writer must be having the most batshit day

This is only an escalation of political violence if you dismiss the imprisonment, force deportation, overseas internment, brutalisation, erasure and other politically violent acts towards immigrant and minority communities and that whole genocide that's being supported as somehow not important.

One of the better parts of my job is catching people who come for an ADHD assessment and letting them know that they may want to consider autism also (if they are receptive to hearing it). I really wish someone had told me rather than finding out six years later when I experienced major burnout.

Getting asked for age verification on my 21 year old steam account is interesting.

Don’t let your kids use AI companions if you value their safety or mental health.

There is something so grim about changing between two different parties who effectively don't want to govern and get voted in because they are not the other guys who also do nothing.

Every conference should have a track dedicated to Gen AI applications. A whole track with all the Gen AI talks. Over there. Down the hall. Yep. Keep going. Just a bit farther. Okay, yeah now open the door. Uh-huh. Now close the door behind you. YEP RIGHT THERE.
