rule 36.24.36 says it counts!

walz should never have stopped calling them weird. because they're all weird losers.

i mean if you really want to objectify a woman who will never sleep with you, a "woman" who is in fact a data construct and has no body for anyone to sleep with is i guess fair game.

i just think it's complete loser behavior to get invested at all in this character because of her non-existent body.

too soon, rabbi.

some people really, really want to be fooled.

liking for support, not for the message.

i would expect that kind of talk at the start of a military video game in a voiceover from a higher ranked character as a telegraph that he's going to turn out to be the bad guy before the end of the game's campaign. or at least working with the bad guy.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

this guy definitely thought ender wiggin did nothing wrong.

fair enough. still a surprising figure to me, even if factual.

every single day it seems this administration finds a new low.

may they all be treated as they hope to treat—to borrow a phrase from the scripture of their putative faith—the least of these. from the top to their congressional enablers to the rank and file agents harming innocent's at their whims.

amor and the other three in this article all deserved better than to be among the first american casualties to die in the dumbest and most tragic war of all time.

and yes, i can be sad for these soldiers and still mourn the deaths of the iranians who *also* should still be with us.

yes, this is disgusting. and deeply in character for those monsters.

but are there really a million americans in the area? that seems like a lot.

When you discover the same woman who screwed you out of twenty grand did the exact same shit to several other people a few years ago so you decide to pivot from being resigned to destroying her life

i have long believed that nothing only men like is worthwhile. and nothing only white people like is worthwhile.

(for, of course, values of "only" that allow for small numbers of outliers.)

unrelated: have you ever noticed that the overwhelming majority of genai pushers are white men?

lol. lmao.

they abandon black and trans people to cozy up to fascists, they let ice into their stores, they work hard to sabotage unions before they can form... nah. i'm done with them.

they want my money back they can make restitution for their corporate sins. until then, they're dead to me.

lots of people find value in lots of totally absurd things. that doesn't obligate me to value them as well.

i read to be the recipient of interesting or novel ideas. or to connect with people, socially or parasocially. at the most generous, ai can only interpolate between existing training data. llms are remix machines with zero cognition.

what possible use does your slop have for me?

a friend at work told me today that he was the one who pushed for putting xp gains on gathering from herb and mine nodes back in cata.

thinking about that was a significant game design lesson for me back in the day, so even though i was sitting already, i had to sit down.

that was *16* years ago.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

say it with me now: fuck cancer.

mister brisco county junior, autolycus the king of thieves, ash fucking williams... our hero better win this one.

i think i may have bought a dozen of them, tops. most came free by being a judge or wizards employee. or were included in an event like a prerelease mat from back in those days.

and yes i still want more playmats too. but i have a tiny bit of discipline.

at least 60 playmats stacked on top of a kneeling chair

how many playmats is too many playmats?

the void does love the naaru substantially more than the naaru love the void.

it's when you really need a game boy but you don't get paid for another couple days so you take out a...

This makes no sense. White Americans have been attacking *Black* churches, synagogues, and mosques for generations. Trying to pit Islamophobia, antisemitism, and anti-Black racism against each other is just gonna lead to all three looking at the white male Christians doing all the attacking.

i wish i hated the turtle set.

instead i just feel nothing at all for it.

i read and bounced off the first book when i was a kid, remembering almost nothing. so i went into that show with essentially no expectations.

and not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it's enthralling. highly recommended, though i'm still never going to read the books.

90% of evictions in MN are for nonpayment of rent. I did a sample a week ago and found the avg nonpayment eviction in Hennepin County would take $5,122 to stop. Studies (before the high inflation of the past few years) suggest stopping an eviction saves $6,832 in public costs. It just makes sense

my mother always told me that you can be judged by the people who hate you. so it's arguably a compliment.
