The hot new body mod trend is having your nose surgically removed so you can attach a range of prosthetic noses, from solid gold to flashing cyberpunk neon to a cartoonishly huge dong.

Kids are calling it the Tycho, getting incredible kicks from having noses that are capybaras or lego Shreks

Duck Duck Go let's you block sites from search results, which is useful as hell given all the slop.

But it only lets you block 5 sites, which is a fucking joke given all the slop. Letting you only block a total of 5 sites from showing up in search is wild.

A computer can never be held accountable, therefore we gave it a gun.

man its so weird how appeasement doesn't work. fortunately there have been no historical examples of this that could have served as a guiding light to avoid it in the present

"ah yep, turns out they fired the last 5 people who knew the safety specs on this component"

"Welp, they wiped all the documentation on this $800 million program because it had the word "equality" in it or something"

You just know there are like a thousand different fogbanks right now, very big things the government literally can no longer do and which would take at least a decade of frantic work to figure out again.

You just know they've already ctrl-f'd something that had the word "homogenous" in it or such, that'll cost $500 million and a decade to reverse engineer if they want to be able to do it again

Like, you know they *already* fired at least one COBOL programmer without whom certain billion-dollar bugs just can't be fixed.

That fogbank recipe is off right now, trying to figure out how to not lose its house.

It's interesting to think of how much stuff the US government has literally, irreplaceably forgotten how to do in the last month.

Lobotomizing itself with a power drill *while* slamming its dick in the car door is one hell of a trick.

Think about how many such things are right now being walked out the door by security, in the heads of federal workers laid off.

Being deleted wholesale because a ctrl-f found the word "diverse" somewhere, etc.

Shit sold for scrap like any private equity vulture fest, etc.

Fun fact: making thermonuclear bombs requires making an aerogel the military named FOGBANK

In 2000, they realized they'd forgotten how to make it, the whole process was all classified to hell and lost.

They had to reverse engineer it to refurbish the aging nukes.

The US literally forgot how to make thermonuclear bombs for a while, and then had to reverse engineer the process in a way that it absolutely no longer could do after shooting itself in its science dick.

Guy 1, screaming: that's a good point -- we need to be game-changing in this world if the game has been changed.

Guy 2, bellowing in rage: I'm not just impressed -- I'm in awe at your insight.

Like imagine just stumbling across two sims arguing in Simlish irl.

Like if you hear them from a distance it *sounds* like they're having an argument, but when you come closer it's all "you're right -- it's not just a game-changer, it's also important" and "you hit the nail on the head -- you understand the importance of being game-changing"

Picture two utter fuckstains, habituated to using LLM's getting in an argument irl with each other that sounds exactly like the slop they've been consuming.

Like they're just babbling complete word salad at each other but with a weird tone of being both argumentative yet cloyingly obsequious.

The UK is competing with the US to see who can shoot themselves in the dick the most times per year.

It's a tough race but the UK does have the advantage of having more experience shooting itself in the dick.

If you breach copyright to make publicly funded research publicly available they'll come at you with everything. If you turn theft into a business model investors can profit from, they'll change the law for you.

It's funny that in Resident Evil Requiem, they cheat the beautifully animated physics model of the roulette wheel by only animating it going into either 7 Red or 29 Black.

A fun thing to do with squats is: breathing squat ladders.

Do 5 squats, with 3 breaths in between each, before racking the bar. Rest, then do a set of 6 the same way.

Rinse and repeat until you hit a set of 10, for 45 total squats done under continuous load.

This is advanced quantum squat theory

you don't need code, you need someone who thinks like a programmer

you don't need a picture, you need someone who thinks like an artist does

but so long as someone leans on it to do that thinking for them, they aren't going to develop that way of thinking in themselves, will become dependant on it

A bunny on a skateboard rolls down a homemade ramp, in a backyard, about to go off a jump. Their friends also cheer them on on either side of the ramp.

Somebody make a movie where a man tries to strand a woman in the wilderness, but she’s a full blown witch, and now he’s got a whole coven toying with his life far into the night

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

A person at level 1 or below proficiency, is unable to do this. They cannot parse out extraneous, distracting, irrelevant information.

They cannot look at a website and identify which parts of the page they are looking at, are advertisements.

Level 2 proficiency is such as being able to look at a website and identify which parts are advertisements, if you want a concrete idea of what it means.
