I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

The danger in trying to do good is that the mind comes to confuse the intent of goodness with the act of doing things well.

jesus christ he's so rotund.

A rotund brown and white tabby cat loafs on the floor with all of his limbs hidden beneath his bountiful fluff and his tail poking out behind him. He looks extremely bulbous.

okay bluesky I know you’re having one of your vibecoded episodes tonight but everyone needs to see this picture of ishy looking like a tsuchinoko so I’m gonna need you to get a grip #fishpics

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

Thank you all for your kind comments for Uni! It seems to take a little time to recover and he’ll need to take medicine for about two weeks. We’ll be going back to the vet after that.
But he’s the strongest, so I’m sure he’ll beat it!

A youtube entry of Fredrick Knudsen's Down the Rabbit Hole episode called "Nigel Cheese," posted 7 hours ago. The titular man is displayed on the thumbnail looking very much like a feckless white man next to the Down the Rabbit Hole logo.

I made it like 7 minutes into this one and I couldn't do it. I can't watch yet another old(er) man be this stupid so confidently. for me that is everywhere. my job, my politics, my hobbies. I can't do it. I'm sorry Fred, I ❤️ you though.

Rapid Prototyping for Game Design - a free, self-paced online group course (14 weekly topic videos) YouTube video by Chris DeLeon of Dev Pods (was HomeTeam GameDev)

When I taught college courses a couple years ago two classes were adapted from my main work (DevPods.gg) the other two were on rapid prototyping for game design

To establish everything I taught was my material, not the university's, before I started the job I put my prototyping curriculum up free 👇

I'm going to write a dark academia book about a fantasy art school and all the students will be sweating about the mysterious final challenge that 80% of even the best students fail and it's going to turn out to be "draw a horse without a reference"

I prefer to save talking till I know what I’m talking about.

To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

you can't read the pixels but one of the randoms I'm playing with is called "18" of Blaidd" and I just think that's so valid

In response to the “cops will use this!” fears, I REALLY wouldn’t hold my breath. You can breathe on one of these and knock it over. A piece of litter will drop it.

But cracking the mechanics of bipedal walking could be handy for a lot of things far down the line. Assistive devices come to mind.

Well…yes…
