Count of Monte Carlo 𓉡

Can you imagine just taking a whole ass month to cross a continent just reading books and watching the most kick ass sunrises/sunsets?

That alone is worth the cost of admission to full communism.

As the saying goes, many such cases.

I am aware this is an unpopular way of thinking on Coruscant.

The way westerners travel, the expense, the toll on the planet. No one deserves it really if everyone can’t.

What we deserve is trains, slow boats, dirigibles and the time to take them to authentic experiences and sharing of our cultures.

I’ve pretty much vowed to not travel till this is the case.

Been 25 years since I went somewhere and it wasn’t work related.

I think about all the people who never have had the opportunity.

Then I think of an old co-workers maga dad who died on the plane to Dubai…it’s okay, no one who knows me is here.

The big brain meme but every progression is just “…” until the last panel which is “…😫”

Same

When the Revolutionary Bicycle Brigade shows up to regulate.

Fwiw though this is also my reaction to a great many things /Palpatine

If you have any other reaction than this you’re probably a toxic cyclist.

I dunno but the NYT is getting delivered by accident to my house and I still don’t open that POS.

Nothing

Of

Value

It’s a cursed sword.

My slides danger move was showing my unhoused friend who scraps for money all the dumpsters in the industrial parks where I do my bike rides.

The upside was I quickly realized my mistake and relegated myself to being outside the dumpster holding the flashlight and being a lookout.

Truly no one to blame but ourselves.

Just pissed away possibilities of a shining future for baubles.

Somehow as a high school dropout the were still welcoming and even let me keep a shelf in the MITERS shop teach me stuff.

Cool people but also when someone leaves to go work for ratheon to work on bird shaped drones or something it’s kinda a bummer 😫

In the late aughts there was basically no one in Boston visibly or on the internet building e-bikes, so I volunteered at the medialab which led to MITERS and between the two of them the train model where you could play Tetris on the office buildings which they also did on the real buildings.

In light of the news that hit overnight, I'd like to reiterate that Anime Herald is, was, and always will be anti-Generative AI. We do not use it in our writing or editorial processes, and we're proud of the fact that Anime Herald Magazine is the work of actual humans at every level.

Woimsign.

Sadly, a janitor was caught in one of the blasts.

I can't remember if it was @junlper.beer or @internethippo.bsky.social but someone said it's only a matter of time before dumbass Dems embrace Anthropic as some sort of resistance tech.

And well anyway

they call it “horseshoe theory” because you are likely to believe it if you have been kicked in the noggin by a Horse

Americans in particular are so adverse to feeling discomfort and leftists are absolutely not immune to this for the most part.

Furthermore, it's natural to feel guilty/ashamed when you've been duped into something awful! Or, when you've been compelled to engage with a system that conflicts with your moral code! Feeling "negative" emotions like guilt and shame is an informative part of the human condition. It can be healthy!

This idea that we can gently coddle ChatGPT users toward incremental change is unrealistic. It requires unsustainable labor and insulates people from the consequences of their actions. Social consequences have more than one outcome. It's not auto guaranteed to yield isolation or digging in heels.

Basically everyone that said “oh I don’t think we should moralize AI use” can kick the biggest rock ever.

My father gained intolerance to the mild sun of the Pacific Northwest after his biggest infection and completely denies the one he got before where he thought he was going to die.

The same year as the pact there was a Nazi rally happening at Madison square garden.

And before the US drug it’s feet into the war, in a smoky board room Allen Dulles was shedding literal tears when it became official government policy not to sign correspondence to Germany with a HH.

growth spurts are painful

It’s nearly impossible at least for a USian to get to Marxism without being an anarchist.

The government after all spends a great amount of coin keeping it that way.
