I kinda assumed he meant "waiting for it to get out of the way"
a train can be technically moving but still not really going anywhere
but I was probably just being dumb
Time for bed
Archive of myself live-tweeting Star Trek: The Next Generation: The XXX Parody on September 22, 2011. Goodness knows why. Messages are as follows: "I'm watching that Star Trek:TNG porn parody. For some reason the guy playing Picard has a Liverpool accent. This Riker/Troi sex scene is totally unrealistic. The real Troi would constantly be telling him what he's feeling. In this episode, the part of Tasha Yar will be played by some chick in an 80s wig. Geordi appears to be wearing a pair of Flavah Flav's glasses. The guy playing Worf is easily the worst actor in this movie. And when you're the worst actor in a porno flick, you've REALLY got problems." And now the last two tweets, which didn't make it into the screenshot: "So far the sex scenes have been the least interesting parts of this movie. And done. I think Sam Hain may have just wanted to make a Star Trek fan film, and couldn't get actors for it, so he just made a porno."
Twitter archive of me watching The Graduate from Febuary 22, 2013: "Watching The Graduate for the first time (more or less). Got blindsided by a familiar voice - turns out Ben's dad is Mr. Feeny. Neither Robinson has a problem giving hard liquor to a kid under 21 who they know has to drive home. I guess the 60s were a stupider time. The problem I have is that I have no idea why Ben suddenly wants to sleep with Mrs. Robinson. There's not really any reason for it. I mean, she's not particularly attractive. She's twice his age. She doesn't have any positive character traits that I can see. It seems to just come down to her offering and him being too awkward to ask out a girl his own age. Preferably one who isn't married. and now they're playing The Sound of Silence for the second time. It doesn't even seem to fit in this scene. I don't know how Benjamin got a scholarship award. The guy seems about as smart as a sack of bricks. I suppose he may have book smarts. This movie becomes creepy when you realize the actress who plays Elaine Robinson is only nine years younger than the one who plays her mom. So far, Elaine is the only person in this movie whose actions seem reasonable. Okay, nevermind. She's acting stupid too." Apparently I stopped there.
Archive of me live-tweeting Planet of the Apes (the original one) on February 28, 2013. "Watching Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston seems awfully blase about having gone into space knowing he'd never see anyone he knows again. I mean, you could make an entire movie just on that premise alone. Man, they built ships to last in the 60s. I seriously doubt any spaceship built today would survive into the 40th century. Between this and The Graduate, I'm starting to think that acting wasn't invented until the 70s. This is way more naked man ass than I expected to see in a G-rated film. Oh no, a net thrown in front of me which I am not in any way caught in! How will I ever escape?! Gee, I wonder why of all the primitive humans the camera keeps focusing on this one girl. Could it be that she'll be the love interest?????? The apes are far better actors in this movie than the humans. I wonder if this is supposed to be symbolism. why doesn't he try making markings on the wall or something. draw a right triangle, dummy I don't think Charlton Heston is capable of smiling in a way that doesn't seem lecherous." Judging by this I apparently stopped tweeting about it like a third of the way into the movie.
Archive of me live-tweeting Star Wars on April 12, 2013: "Watching Star Wars for the first time in 13 years. I love how Kenobi just hands a deadly weapon over to an untrained kid to play with. And what exactly is Vader's position? If he's the Emperor's right hand man, these military dudes are pretty dumb to taunt him. There is an alien in the Star Wars universe that literally looks like the devil. Also the Empire seems to have missed that the term "spacestation" means that is it STATIONARY "That's no moon. Moons orbit planets, and it's nowhere near one." lightsaber choreography by Geriatric Swordsmen of America i like how the rebels' idea of "covering" other ships is to fly just behind them while other ships come behind them and shoot them up."
Can't sleep so for some reason I'm looking through my twitter archive, which only goes back to 2022 because I somehow lost the one I downloaded before I deleted my account
I sure did like to live-tweet movies as I was watching them back then
What an insufferable dork
I don't know this dude but I vaguely recall that Twitter would do that in the early days if you replied to yourself because the system wasn't built to handle talking to someone without tagging them
Dunno if this post was old enough for that to apply tho
what is it about this Hasan dude that makes all these centrists and libs just lose their fuckin minds
I have a hypothesis that they wouldn't object to him nearly as much if he were a white dude named John Smithington or something
Well-meaning on Everett's part but unless that train was at a stop there's no way he'd could pull that guy out of there before the wheel crushed him
An update: it seems like Sigma Star Saga DX has added the required disclosure and LRG has also reached out to me about what to do going forwards. Looks like this is going to be resolved.
The best way seems to be to go into the individual bundles and search them
Which isn't THAT bad but it is annoying
Man itch.io's search function is so bad
I'm searching for games that I wrote down that I'm interested in from bundles I bought and it just doesn't come up with them
I understand a really generic title like "Eldritch" might not come up with the right one but even unique titles often don't pop up
Like at least make it optional
Do grocery stores count because if so I have like 18 months
Most of my jobs have been security-related though, which is a service job but in my case rarely involved retail businesses
yeah like unless this book is basically an apology for how poorly his administration handled (and continues to handle) that situation this is worthless
Reminded of this story.
This reminds me of that Free Press article that "debunked" claims of Gazan kids starving to death by pointing out some of them had other medical problems
Including rickets, a disease caused by malnutrition
I guess James wearing a wifebeater is appropriate
Their ignorance of basic math notwithstanding, do they have any actual examples of drug prices decreasing by that much

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
which is, of course, why you argued with me for an hour.
have a bad day.
how morally abhorrent of him
Then I can only conclude that you do not know what the word means.
Careful, you're getting very close to insulting me. Wouldn't want to do anything immoral, after all.
Why don't you explain exactly what you mean to me, then.
What you are referring to is not "basic human decency", but civility. Civility is good, but it is not the end-all be-all of human interaction. It is not always possible, or even desirable, to maintain one's civility.
At any rate, you didn't answer the question.
"their goal is rather to signal various things to their in-group"
"You probably also have a bunch of literal sociopathic opinion leaders, who use this crowd for their own personal gain"
These sure read like you're saying that a ton of folks who claim to hate licorice don't actually hate licorice
Your standards for "abuse" are extremely low.
Is it morally abhorrent to steal someone's intellectual property?
Is it more or less abhorrent to profit from the theft of that work than to call someone a name?
It's relevant in that you're asserting that persons who are opposed to LLM technologies are not genuine in their opinions, and simply expressing that opposition for social status.
Saying that is an easy way to disregard someone's opinion. You see it in political conversations all the time.
If someone makes a threat, that's unacceptable.
Beyond that, public figures should expect to be exposed to insults, name-calling, etc. if they say or do something that angers people.
Of course people can express opinions they don't believe in, but there's no possible way you can ascertain that about any individual unless you're a telepath. It's insulting - and I would argue potentially dehumanizing - to pretend that you know someone else's mind better than they do.
"making a stance an identity-defining characteristic" implies that the person's stance is not genuine.
At any rate, there's a vast difference between piling on Joe RandomUser and responding negatively to a public figure, which Hank Green is.
"There's no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism" isn't a free pass to do whatever the fuck you want
There's a world of difference between someone buying a Stouffer's frozen dinner (owned by Nestle) and someone giving hundreds or thousands of dollars to murderers for a toy
To be absolutely fair to him, I can understand why someone who receives probably thousands of notifications a day would need some kind of machine-intelligence algorithm to sort through them.
However I don't see why it needed to be done by a commercial LLM product that he is effectively advertising.
