People Like Different Things

I wear appropriate clothing and I still fucking hate winter.

I can’t tell if Israel thinks its special privilege with the USA is eternal and the current grumbling by the American electorate is a passing fad or if it’s convinced the relationship is doomed no matter what and is basically buying everything in a going out of business sale while it can.

some more great scaring off mountain lion tracks

My brothers and sisters in Christ...

That list already exists.

Ever heard of the CD titled "70's Party Classics Killers?"

Look it up.

But here's the track list :

It’s HARD to do it!!! I gotta practice!

Honestly I may need to add this to my list of party tricks

the streamer I watch has been playing Pokemon Pokopia and every time Ditto sucks up items all I hear is a very quiet OOH AAH AAAH AAHHH

yeah tbh I can’t explain why but I agree

…..Charles I kinda like that song

I had a cat that was very partial to roots reggae and dub (aptly named Eek-A-Mouse) so maybe some Zion Train or Augustus Pablo would at least chill them out.

Fuck that’s a great name for a cat and also a great cat

brb, looking up how to do the OOH AAH AAAH AAHHH just like the Down with the Sickness guy so I can scare away mountain lions

This seems very logical tbh

Personally I’m gonna try blasting some Death Grips if I encounter a hungry mountain lion on the trails here in California

Wildlife biologists do I have a great research proposal idea for you

@scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz wonders if it’s just that that particular mountain lion really thinks Metallica sold out

Saw a story about someone scaring off a mountain lion by playing Metallica at it on her phone, and now I’m wondering:

What music DO we think hungry mountain lions hate most?

About half the time when cis men talk about changing/fixing the world, there's a silent, implied "...with my penis" at the end. "We need to deal with the Birth Rate Problem - with my penis!" "I want to protect and support women with my penis!"

seems to me it’s a pretty clear “when given any kind of choice, people, especially women with education, want to have fewer children than they did before they had the choice”

is it actually a mystery though?

an oddly uncontested idea I’ve noticed is that “the best technology wins”

this is rarely the case!

yes

once again begging people to have just a tiny smidgen of reading comprehension

there’s absolutely a chance I’m wrong about this - I sure as hell hope I am! - but boy I dunno how you read this thread and think I’m thrilled about where things are going with coding agents

"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity. You won't be replaced by AI, nor a person using AI, because backfills aren't real.

Had to write a thing just for the people claiming that you can make yourself immune to layoffs if you are agentic enough

there is that

flatly: everyone who works in tech is in danger and sooner than you think

LLMs are going to eat the software industry alive

Imagine you put a military strategy into chatgpt, it doesn’t go as planned, you resume the chat session and it’s like “you’re absolutely right I didn’t think about the mines in the straight”

You are not going to get me to empathize with these grown men - Cavanaugh was 28, and Fox was 27 (they are 29, and 28 now IIRC)

You can argue they didn't know it was potentially criminal but even if what they were doing was legal it was steeped in bigotry. They don't get a pass on that.
