Let’s bring back “prig” as a slur for right wingers.

But I think the problem goes beyond media literacy: I’m looking at replies like “Killmonger is right and only seems wrong because the writers put some villainous words in his mouth” and it’s like…you realize Killmonger is a made up guy, right?

Every 5-10 years a new writer or series of things where people say funny things in otherwise non-comedic genres becomes popular enough every instance of "person being funny in media" is called "____esque." Immediately thereafter, the act of "being funny" in any context becomes bad for a few years.

People who know me have said I have no filter. Buddy, you have no idea how much of what I think I choose not to say.

It is deeply sickening that conservatives are literally complaining that tweens and teens aren't getting pregnant often enough.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

The plan to demonize creativity, the arts and entrepreneurship while simultaneously shoving AI products down our throats that seemingly make 99% of things worse isn't going to work. We need the robots do the laundry while the people make stuff robots can't dream of. That's a good future.

“Balanced” media would be all hard core left wing. Right wing thought is the imbalance. You can’t change my mind.

My wife is now crying over the support I’ve received today. She was feeling so rotten for letting that little fucker into our house. Now we can undo some of the damage.

I don’t know how many times I can thank you for your support, but here’s at least one more for the pile, since you all keep donating. Thank you so, so very much.

I think I’m going to be okay. Thanks to you.

This community seriously be like “WE RIDE AT DAWN” at times and it really does take the sting off the worst shit.

At least the little fucker didn’t get my C64 Ultimate or my ZX Spectrum Next. Or my Apple IIgs.

Thank you all for the unexpected showing of support in my worst time. It means more to me than I can express.

I may have to sell some things. I don’t want to. But I’m flat fucking broke, my shit has been stolen, and I have a powerful need to eat sometime this month.

I will literally never have the money to replace the shit he stole.

So... I'm out basically two grand, when you account for the stolen DSLR, lenses, and my Pi 400. Nobody is going to donate that much for my piddly ass, nor should they be asked to. So all I can do is bitch and moan about it, because I'm not allowed to just go get my shit back.

Oh great. The little fuck that stole my DSLR also sems to have stolen my telephoto lens (leaving the empty bag where I keep it!) and my boxed Raspberry Pi 400!

A rare look at the brain of a conservative.

I hosted a friend’s teenager (17M) for three months. I had to throw him out for unrelated reasons. On his way out, he stole my Canon Rebel DSLR and lenses. Theres not much I can do to prove it or get it back. I’m just fucked. All because I was nice enough to open my home to someone in need.

We can officially drop the trailer. Our new game, Too Many F*cking Nazis is a throwback to some of the classics of the boomer shooter genre youtu.be/D0czMYzQ5ho?...

At the time the $7.25 national minimum wage was set, a pound of ground beef cost about $2.20 per pound, meaning one hour of work could purchase more than three pounds of beef — enough to make a dinner or two for a family of four. Now, it can barely cover one.

I'm the particular, peculiar kind of retrocomputing person who's in it not for nostalgia or collector value, but for the potential to build cool new stuff with cool people.

Not to defend the thing, at all, but when you look at the actual "code" of something like Claude, it's amazing it works as well as it does.

#Steam Next Fest prep for Enigma Heart has begun. I just updated most of the screenshots on the store page to more accurately reflect the current state of the game, and what the game is about. cc @hadrosaurus.net store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... #GameDev #EnigmaHeart

Today I added the NPCs to the player's home. Eventually, they will spawn there only if they have been rescued, and will have rewards for you when interacted with at least once in the home.

I guess that ad didn't go how they hoped.

I feel like this screengrab from #HouseOfSvengoolie is a caption contest in the making.

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles? it just like me fr fr

The solution is to take the vote away from conservatives.

My houseguest is lazy.

Compiler bugs always feel like the worst kind of betrayal.

My fucking DSLR is missing. I swear to Odin, if that rotten kid stole it on his way out of my house…

Rescued a DV victim and brought her to my house for safety. So that’s my night.

[sigh] [resets to 0 the sign that says “It has been 1 days since someone pointed out that Rowan is a Zelda-like game”]

My biggest beef with LLMs is not the thing itself, but the "conversational" interface. There's no need to fool people into seeing intelligence where none exists to get utility out of a token-spewing stochastic parrot, if there is utility to be found.

Is anyone really surprised that Claude is just an LLM in a trenchcoat made out of regular expressions? Isn't that what it was always going to be?
