no amount of propaganda should convince you that some children don’t deserve to grow up

That is what it looks like to hold your head high and overcome all efforts to shame and silence your voice.

If you include card games and dice games, the moral outcry against gambling is already going strong in the 1700s.

What about playground games and parlor games? They have game mechanics that influence current design. I'm thinking at the moment of Farmer In the Dell and Authors, and how the mechanics do or do not make players feel shut out or connected.

Goooooooooood morning time change!
Who else is awake an hour early and is not sure why?
And yes I do mean early. Maybe I'm making up for the "lost hour"??
Probably going to mean a second cup of coffee today.

"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people.

If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.

A thousand percent this! I've traded sewing skills for yardwork, raw materials, food, and medical care!

Gonna start running "Meguey's Miscellany of Mending" at gaming conventions again, in case I'm the person you know who can show you how.

Learn. To. Mend. Your. Clothes.
Fixing stuff you already own is pretty much always the cheaper option over buying something new. There's a billion how-to videos on youtube, books in the local library, and probably people at the maker space /community college/ senior center who can show you how.

This should show up at every Rep candidate event for the next 3 years. This could be the next "greatest campaign commercial in political history...clearly and forcefully highlighted the candidates' diametrically opposed views" on crimes against children. #ProsecuteTheEpsteinPedofiles

Heads up y’all. Please check your β€œfollowing” and β€œfollowers” and proceed accordingly. Not tagging anyone, just take care of yourself, maybe pass along the message.

Lest we entirely forget that there can be policians who have a conscience and a backbone. Alas that those seem to be in such short supply in the US today. youtu.be/HfXmpJRZPYI

DOJ admits to removing nearly 48,000 Epstein files from database, including Trump allegations - Salon.com The files, including allegations against Trump, are expected to be returned to the database after review.

Shocked. I'm shocked. Look how shocked I am. :/

I’m getting these questions through the museum email. I’m the only one who checks the museum email, during my limited work hours. There’s no other staff, no other departments,& I wish the person hadn’t had to wait almost 5 days for me to see their question, google it, & email them the answer.

Yeah, that’s sensible for your job. The museum email is public-facing, I’m the only one who sees it, it is my job to help them, & I do, & I genuinely like it, but sometimes I wish people realized they could also do a quick search.

Part of this is exactly human interaction => machine, but part of it also is the very common, very WILD assumption that museum staff 1) exist & 2) have enough hours to answer emails basically 24/7. We're so used to instant answers (from google!) that we forget some things do not have that capacity.

1-3 Fair.
4. Excuse me? If this was someone who came in to my museum while I was working, I would gladly help them! If someone emails me "what town is the county seat?" that's literally faster for them to google than to wait for me to check my work email on a workday, google, and email them back!!
