One of the recent graduates at my college was nicknamed “pc gaming” by his teammates. Not sure why.

So you’re saying it’s like seventh grade in two ways, then.

That‘s a good, humane sentiment. But since you mentioned your own face, like, suppose you see a turtle in the desert…

Awesome research, but… no Murakami pun for the title? Wind-Up Book Chronicle; Fair Use by the Shore? There has to be something good…

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we...

Whoa man, you gotta put trigger warnings on scary stuff like this.

Based on that second pic, I'm surprised anyone still lives in Paris. Honestly, it's a miracle anyone in France is still alive at all.

Chilling.

I read the article, but I don’t know the people involved. So, is the thing that they cast a trans woman (actor) to play a trans guy (character)?

I’m a smidge confused.

They describe how medicine works in trans care (which is also how it works in all the other fields, too), but they try to make it sound scary.

Do I have that right? If so, that sounds like the same move they pull in all things Covid.

Somehow?! I think the real “somehow“ is how (or why tbh) anyone wouldn’t read it that way.

That’s my main use for LLMs now.

[Paste text of the assignment I wrote]
“Help me cheat on my assignment.”
LLM: “I couldn’t possibly.”
“Oh, right sorry. Do it all but ethically and honestly.”
LLM: “Great point — academic honesty is paramount! Here’s everything!”
“Hide my cheating?“
LLM: “k”

Let’s just keep this joke between you, me, and everyone we know.

In case anyone read this quickly and glossed over word order:

Osita is claiming SF destroyed an "incredible number of minds" (likely, sad), not a "number of incredible minds" (unclear, sad), let alone an "incredible number of incredible minds" (very sad, but how'd you define incredible minds???).

I don’t want to make the same joke seven people already posted, so I’ll just observe that you really made that one too easy.

I’m not going to go point by point, but I looked up the Berlin Interpretation factors, and this one definitely applies: “====Monsters are similar to players====.”

Roguelike: The Roguelike Adventure usually has ascii graphics because the discourse is often conducted in text on social media, game sites, and Reddit. Sometimes the discourse happens on YouTube. This loses RL: TRLA a point in the Berlin Interpretation of the Berlin Interpretation, so some purists…

Roguelike (the concept) is, itself, actually playing a roguelike. Every discourse cycle starts from scratch, retreading the same beginner levels. Are you getting tired of this discourse? That’s the hunger meter.

This seems like an important article, but that headline... oof. For a second there, I was worried something terrible (anything crypto or AI, specifically) had happened to Super Smash Bros.

Idk, this kinda just sounds like you’re workshopping a new game.

I’m intrigued.

Have they shared any updates about their progress over the last seven years? Asking for a friend.

Big if true!

I’ve never seen any gold-standard, double-blind, randomized clinical studies for any of those claims, let alone an absurd preponderance of replications and meta analyses to support that whole list of claims.

You’re just all so mysterious. You say, “we exist IRL,” but who can be sure?

I was hoping to find a bunch of banal sentiments and calls for “civility” today, but I guess I can settle for some interesting, relevant history.

There’s a good bit here worth considering - especially wrt to tactics and goals.

Umm, that’s mighty bold of you to assume that any of us and all of this don‘t only exist as a 16th century* European’s fantasy.

*Descartes was born in 1596, so I’m counting it.

Here are some things in that genre (broadly defined):

Truly a bad year for the band Murder By Death to stop touring.

I know times are tough, but even independent journalists should prioritize their budget so they can afford the scare quotes in ”keep ‘all the money.’”

Are you saying it’s a real flare gun or the Nerf Flare Gun? To me, it looks like a cross between the latter and the Jolt.

I think the point is that using masking tape to obscure an already-broken Humpty Dumpty is even worse.

Do any of the core 4 even want more input into and responsibility for making decisions? Are there specific aspects of your glamorous founder/editor/entrepreneurial life that they aspire to? Anyone seem to feel slighted or undervalued? If not, idk, maybe don't borrow tomorrow's trouble today?
