If only people would have slapped tariffs on something useful, like insane political theories.

Honestly I don't know how you get through middle school without learning this, regardless of who you're attracted to.

Happy Earth Day.

The Yeen-gineer is ready to work!

I'm watching an AI intro/training session for dev at my company presented by consultants the big AI corps and like. The sheer amount of time they are devoting to emphasizing that the agent is a person is rather remarkable.

....do factory workers even exist here anymore?

Coloured reference picture I drew for @kardukk.bsky.social of his dragonbord mage character, Tharek⚡️

It's when a pagan ketchup repents and accepts the Lord.

Also in the little stories that didn't really get a mention in the original because they were already resolved by then.

Fred from Scooby-Doo unmasking the bad guy at the end of a mystery, in two frames. First frame: Left side: a tied up man in a white featureless mask with eye holes. The caption over him in impact font reads, "SOMETHING I USED TO LOVE SUCKS NOW" Right side of frame, Fred has his hand on the mask, about to pull it off. The caption on him reads, "LET'S SEE WHO'S BEHIND THIS." Second frame: The unmasked bad guy has a pencil thin curling mustache, a pointy nose, and dark hair, with a widow's peak. The caption on him reads, "PRIVATE EQUITY"

Ehhhhhhhhhh.
I interpret those slightly differently. Daycare makes sure the kid has fun and doesn't kill themselves, while preschool actually attempts to teach and socialize to a degree. So daycare can start right after birth but preschool can't.

I assume age three through kindergarten age.
I.e. standard preschool.

While physical laws probably are immutable, we both didn't make those up and also don't know what they all are. :P

Annoyingly the one I found had an amazing premise I would have loved to read if it were competently written.

Guess I add it to the ideas folder...

If your answer involves AI please go jump in a volcano.

This is, indeed, an important thing to think about.
Including such questions as "What prevents the people running your new system from subverting it?" and "Are you really sure that mechanism can never fail and isn't actually dependent on a cultural or personal trait that might change?"

A someone who tolerates a lot but endorses very little, it is moderately annoying when the only options presented for dealing with a person/group are hating/attacking them and loving/promoting them.

What's next? People not speaking English in Los Angeles‽

I see people aren't even bothering to hide the AISlop anymore.

Yes I definitely believe you wrote a 72 book series in the last month and a half. That is definitely a thing a human author would do, and is definitely worth the $3.99/ea you want to charge me.

If your goal is just to destroy the "establishment" then one method is as good as another.

My Pathfinder (1E) module game will be coming to an end soon, so we're considering what to play next.
While I'd like to try to pull the group into something less crunchy, one of the other players is a munchkin and would just die of sadness. XD
PF2E has been mentioned but no one is really familiar.

Made some progress on the bathtub.

This pattern is trying to kill me. 😩

The rock has Reach, of course.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

I endorse eating chips and flavored popcorn with chopsticks. Your hands stay clean!

I am staring at the bash script in this PR and crying because it is an overcomplicated mess that was almost definitely written by AI.

I decided long ago / Never to walk in anyone's shadow /
If I fail, if I succeed / At least I'll live as I believe /
No matter what they take from me / They can't take away my dignity

Technology was made to serve humans, not to rule over them.

&$@%@$ I could deal with the 0 and - keys being flaky but the R key not working reliably is causing me significant problems. 😑
