The rules; Don't side with bullies. Never be cruel or cowardly. Try to be nice but always be kind.

Remember, something that is in development is as real as something "that is being talked about".

Until it enters production, there's literally nothing to see.

Also, Pratchett would have hated Rowling had he been with us longer.

The exception to this is Astropaths, because the telepathy across the gulfs of space burns them out. With Rejuvenat work they can extend it a little, but every time they send an Astropathic message it burns away another chunk of their life expectancy.

Short answer, as long as they can afford rejuvenat treatments and avoid blowing themselves up through bumbling into Warp shenanigans. Biomancers can do even better by keeping themselves alive with psyker powers.

Of course, if they're also Perpetuals then they're effectively biologically immortal.

You are deranged and in desperate need of contact with real human beings.

Seek help.

Thanks for your helpful commentary, grammar police. You really added something to the conversation here.

I'm sure the pedophile is smiling up at you for correcting people's spelling of his name.

Offal is great though, and seriously overlooked in the US due to cultural prejudices. You can make amazing sausages (and haggis) with the us of offal and spices.

Offal just means "off fall", the bits that are left after the most valuable cuts are removed through butchery.

How much did you kill the planet to get a LLM do what you could have done for yourself?

Also, give how he's written lyrics about his love for under age children I would remind you that "Kid Rock" is another way of saying "Epstien Island".

But the clickbait is required by our Internet age, so a more complex and informative deep dive doesn't take place. People just read the headline and not the actual reporting.

We're neolithic humans dark skinned? Of course, the SLC45A2 gene didn't emerge until around 8000 years ago. Were Southern Europeans darker skinned 3000 years ago? Evidently.

But were all Europeans dark skinned until 3000 years ago? No, that's not what the research tells us.

I'm kinda of irritated by the click bait and over simplification - the emergence of pale skin ties into a myriad mix of genetics and we have evidence (buried within the article) that further north paler skin and blue eyes were evident around 4000 years ago.

Not just the best Mario movie. Also a movie ahead its time that saw Trump for who he is - a villain.

I'm a parent who works full time. My opportunities for games are few and far between. If we're playing a game and you pull out some crazy combo of stratagems and tactics with a min-max'd list on turn 1?

I'll shake your hand and concede so we can both find someone to play with who shares the vibe.

I clarified that below.

I do realise not everyone feels this way though, but I wouldnt have fun playing against someone who *needs* to win, and I'd like to think they'd gain no satisfaction against someone like me who will do stupid things because it "feels appropriate".

The very thought of "competitive" play makes my skin crawl. If I'm playing, I want to have *fun* and I want the other player to have *fun*. Winning, losing, as long as it was *fun* who gives a shit? It's just a game.

Systems like midjourney are based on dredging the internet for artworks, ripping out any attribution for those artworks, mashing the output together mindlessly until the system user is happy with the mindless collage that is produced.

Calling it "AI" or "Synth" art misunderstands the value of art.

Eh, YMMV. I've muted the tags on this (adding them to my list), because to me it's not something I want to encourage. Curating the output of actual artist's stolen work with environmentally ruinous theft-engines doesn't have artistic merit in my eyes.

The irony being the use of AI to produce it.

She blocked me after this reply, because she was allegric to self awareness.

I thought you weren't reading my responses to you, Karen?

Don't you want to tell me that I should prioritise your feelings over the suffering of Canadians who want to know that there's hope out there?

Or, y'know, you could centre yourself over other people again?

Not beating the Karen diagnosis here.

"I'm not mad, please don't put it in the paper that I got mad" defense now you realised you managed to become a Karen over a Canadian tragedy.

You see a message of support and hope given to a stranger and you turn it into a personal attack against you and keep posting about it for hours.

Pathetically immature behaviour.

Be a better person.

I realise that this may come as a shock, so you may want to sit down;

Not everything is about *you*.

As Commonwealth countries, examples from Australia and UK can be more relevant to Canada than the examples from the US.

Look at your behaviour. A Canadian tragedy and you're making it about you.

I'm not speaking down to you or being "snarky", that's you looking for offence where none existed. Someone in Canada was distraught, I offered them hope things can be changed for the better with an example of where it had taken place.

I didn't mention the US because that struggle hasn't finished.

It's not bullshit. It's a reminder that activism can make a positive change. Just because it can be hard doesn't make it impossible.

You need to step away from your device, like I said.
