Scott Adams, the Dilbert Guy, was afaik very keen to be more than the Dilbert Guy. He thought himself genius, that the world around him was full of inferiors. He didn't want to be remembered as 'the Dilbert Guy' because he was destined for more. Anyways, every obituary says "the Dilbert guy--"

do humans count as extremophiles or is it because our adaptation is Tools it doesn't count

Post a robot

-human tries to use art to perfectly communicate something they see or feel -they fail -in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art -other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful

out of milk for my cereal still wanted cereal used half-and-half cream instead perhaps an error

The entirely self-created Hell of the democratic party is to always be utterly incapable of taking a position or stand because it doesn't test well with the median donor. They lie and talk about polling but they're doing dowsing-rod divination to see what tests well with the most likely donors.

White moderate: on wednesday me and 30 other people around the country are gonna smear fake blood on our hands! Also white moderate, looking at a protest that took a year to organize and support: well this is sheer chaos, someone call the cops

These absurdly useless LARPs and harmlessly fun lil pranks, serve a vital purpose for the white moderate: it allows them to perceive any form of real protest as a riot or some kind of marxist plot.

The more absurdly useless a white moderate's caricature of a protest is, the more violent and out of control they'll see any actual protest, and the more easily they'll call the cops on it.

This is intentional. The white moderate can then look at any *real* protest, one that's not uselessly symbolic and which does require actual organizing, and reluctantly agree it's gone too far and needs to be policed.

It's always done in such a purely symbolic, useless, brief manner that it doesn't even make any sense for it to require mutual aid of any kind. It's always a form of protest that doesn't require actually talking to other people irl.

A white moderate's idea of protesting is always the goofiest, most ineffectual fucking thing you've ever heard. Useless, meaningless symbolism done exactly once, for the duration of a brunch.

Hey y’all: if you use Libby and you hate them allowing generative AI content and incorporating it in other ways you can go to your profile, scroll down to “help and support”, and take a survey to tell them that you hate it

Y'know there's something in my head about the whole "Netflix talking about making shows that you can half-pay attention to" and "Stranger Things writers using chatGPT in Some Capacity" and the way creative labour is devalued by the mere existence of capitalism but it's not all gelling quite right.

Much ink has been spilled to the effect of "trans girl spinny skirt cringe" but I don't think people realize how demandingly rigid the rituals of forced masculinity are. I was screamed at for wearing the "wrong colored" shoes. Let trans women be girls, most were not allowed to be.

i know it's 90% off but a warning to potential customers not to buy the steam version of heavy rain. it is not safe. it installs heavy rain on your computer

there's going to be a temptation to say that she had this coming but the reality is that this is about a billionaire misogynist pedophile eugenicist asserting himself over a woman and the products of her reproductive labor to rob her of child by using the courts he has contracted into his service.

this is that thing where, if you know something about the subject, you know how stupid the tech guys sound. opening a restaurant is sorta by definition an insane passion project that will almost certainly fail

oh hey its that time of the year where i randomly bleed from the nose for 15-20 minutes a day

wait danikens dead? rest in piss shithead lmaooooooo

she holds seven Guinness World Records for the largest polycule ever seen

Kinda hard to ever be taken seriously when it comes to child or revenge porn ever again. Everyday there’s some new looking glass to cross thru but this one is particularly gross. Not long ago being in the same space or adjacent to such things was morally unconscionable. Now, officially, “meh”.

To the extent D&D is *actually* easier to learn than other TTRPGs, it's because it expects the DM to do basically all of the work, from preparing encounters to coming up with action resolutions that are supposed to please everyone at the table when the rules are vague

Sword and Board games should just do the whole "this is the next [IP] killer" but for completely incomprehensible comparisons. Like, hell yeah, this is TETRARCHY, THE NEXT MONOPOLY KILLER

So i bought myself a grow lamp but it didn't come with stands for like, the light itself. I'm sure my solution is absolutely not going to raise any suspicions whatsoever with campus

Liberal, seeing a thermonuclear bomb detonating over Tehran: heh, just another distraction from the epstein files!

PERKELE WOLF ATE MY FUCKING COW!!!! I JUST GOT BACK FROM FISHING

The only way to understand the more training argument is to understand that liberal politicians want exactly the same things that are happening now but done in a way that doesn't provoke public outrage Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

None may fathom how hard this image goes for Me, in Specific.

Damn, sure is a good thing we've all agreed to not examine and critique the pop culture we consume in light of the world we live in. Excellent decision, really saves us a lot of discomfort.

"Hahaha" said Gandalf, hitting his weed pen for the seventeeth time that hour. "Fuck".

I think a lot about how the whole "epic bacon" "everything is better with bacon" etc. was a fully paid for publicity campaign by the pork industry, and there are still millions of people who think they suddenly became really passionate about bacon just because that's who they are as a person

I swear to God I misclicked

"i am a snob about nun porn" is somehow a true statement about me but also probably makes me sound more insane than any of my actual mental illnesses

Super important that every discord user takes this survey. Let them know.

I think I found a new answer to "if you could talk to anyone from history, who would it be?" Martin Luther. I sit down across from him, say a brief prayer to the Virgin Mary to start. Then I begin explaining Prosperity Theology to him in detail. He runs to the door, weeping. It's locked.

sometimes if you're lucky you can actually see this switch happen in real time as the American starts getting really angry at a foreigner who points out all the flaws with the American system, and they begin sputtering about the American dream being failed and that the real America is an ideal

quick bit of advice people do not get weirdly sad and look up your ex on Bluesky because very little will come with it except remembering all the reasons it was doomed

whats it mean when your girlfriend likes this post asking for a friend

Honestly this is something I've always thought of as a distinctly...dumb? Americanism Like it's kind of hard to explain to Americans just how much the average Canadian defines themselves as "anything but American" and that's stronger than any commonality you might think is shared.

I just saw a reddit comment on a post despairing about bad grades in Uni that started with "Don't worry bro, this doesn't determine the rest of your life. It took Hong Xiuquan three tries before he decided to become a cult leader and start the deadliest civil war in China."

I think it's okay, theoretically, for cisgender people to write transgender characters. But I think that if you're going to do it, we should assign a Transgender Commissar to you to watch every word you write, juuuuust in case.

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data. "If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own." https://kotaku.com/divinity-gen-ai-larian-bg3-reddit-ama-2000658429

This has extreme "we have magica riot at home" vibes, I think

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.
