I feel like blocking is free and fun. I block every user i see that posts ads, ai content, thirst content or looks like they might be a jerk. You should try it! Block me even.

A meme starring Bianca Del Rio and Trinity K Bonet.
Bianca (labelled as "everyone") asks "What do you do successfully? Quickly."
Trinity (labelled as "LLMs") looks confused.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I don't understand what this cartoon is saying. It's an ugly caricature of Trump surrounded by current things/people? What's the message?

There's also a Labia fanta and Labia pluto. No Labia majora unfortunately. πŸ›

Same in Aus. It can't identify the most common, obvious calls, but it gets any northern hemisphere invasives very easily.

High intelligence is just as abnormal as low intelligence. Socially, you'll do best in the middle of the bell curve.

Found online:
"To play Hoppo Bumpo one had to hop within the declared space, arms crossed over chests, and try to bump the various others sufficiently hard to throw them off-balance. If they touched the ground with both feet they were out, and if you hit people hard enough they were down and out."

I'm from NSW, never heard of it. What is it like? Maybe we have a different name for the same game.

I think you have to be very careful with this sort of thing. "It looks manipulated" is not evidence. He shows that larger precincts swung red, but that could be explained by other things than vote manipulation. It's good that they are investigating, but they need better evidence than vibes.

I'm confused how someone could think so highly of LLMs. I've not yet seen them produce anything original, dynamic or particularly interesting.

For some reason I was obsessed with this movie when I was 4 and watched it probably 100 times.

A photograph of an Australian king-parrot perched on a bare gum tree branch, looking down at the camera with a bit of sideeye. The bird is bright red with green wings. The sunlight is bright and the background sky is blue.

A bell is definitely an "I'm over here" signal, not a "Get out of the way or I'll run you over" signal.

Having said that, there's no downside to treating it that way as a pedestrian. πŸ˜…

If coming up from behind, ring your bell, slow down as you pass and ideally say "on your right" etc so they know which side you'll be on.

This is sick! If you wanna level up the insanity, try writing in shorthand with Plover (it looks like your keyboard would work well as a steno board)

That's great to hear, but then why didn't the legacy power sources in the worldwide graph diminish as renewable generation increased? Is it because of population growth? When/how do we start to see a reduction in burning wood/coal/gas? You seem educated about this and I'm here to learn β™₯️

It's disheartening to learn that wood burning hasn't decreased at all since the adoption of other fuel sources, and same with coal & gas. It implies that although we may build heaps of renewable energy supply, the demand will just increase to absorb that supply. Doesn't feel bad-faith at all to me.

I think the yammering is because they want drivers to form an emotional connection with the station. As to why it has to be unfunny, I dunno. Maybe it's hard to be funny for 3 hours every day after getting up at 4am?
