The same way the rest of us plebs do!

Stuff randomly shows up in your OTHER Evil Algorithm (youtube), your friends recommend you something, or you hear something good on the radio. XD

Man... I hate our provincial government. Like abusive parents, they always use the stick, never the carrot.

Never incentives, always punishment.

No funding for improvements, but always funding for aggressively pursuing those who don't do as they want.

I shudder for their kids and their pets.

Going by context clues, it's a conspiracy I was originally not believing in because "They could have just made it easy and waited" seemed more plausible...

But at this point I can't help but start leaning the other way. :o

Like... Reproducibly??? The hells?

I know the feeling. I see the "chatbot became a lonely person's only friend, and then drove them to off themselves" stories and I'm convinced that if that tech had existed when I was a deeply bullied teenager, there's a real chance I might have been a headline. x_x

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

VERY.

Which is amazing, since apparently the "three cueing method" for "teaching" reading that's made a lot of people only able to "read by vibes" seems to date back to the 80s. :o

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

Man, it truly explains SO much about so many interactions I've had online, where I just stare at someone's take and go "did we read the same thing??"

It also explains people not reading stories in games, and why people get all their news from video and twitter-length posts. 💀

Okay, I'm not even done reading the full thread, or the article and I've got this feeling of dawning horror.

No wonder we're facing a crisis of people acting like we're in entirely separate realities, if a lot of people are only able to do "Vibe Reading".

Your gaming comparison makes me think of how fighting game players need to learn all the complex motions, strings and the mindgame... And once you know THAT, you can rely on intuition in a way that newbies will see as just "Mash the buttons" and wonder why it doesn't work for them.

As someone capable of speed-reading, yeah, it's that. Because I understand the words, I can devour them pretty quickly. If I did not have that understanding (or the text is written weirdly, like when a class had me reading "Pamela"), I wouldn't/can't do that.

It's a skill.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

oooh, tough question...

I'mma say yes. Soup is soup, even if the noodles are the star of the dish.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

The fact you typo'd it as "HORNT" with a T just makes this so much funnier. XD

Man, I hate when I find a new thing, go "hey this is pretty cool- Hey, waaaaiiiit a minute... There's something subtly WRONG with it" and then realize it uses AI, which is why it's so prolific in so short a time. -_-

I mean, if people keep bothering me, I *CAN* feel pretty deranged.

I still flare up in unholy *RAGE* at the TA that interrupted me, an ADHD student, like 4 times during a midterm to ask if another student could borrow my pencil, then denied me the last 30 seconds I needed to finish my last answer.

I love that English escalated déranger when they imported it from French. It makes it perfect when French people apologize for being a few minutes late as derangement, so sorry to derange you

Man, I don't know what gave me two back to back nights of insomnia, but I wish it would just stop. Today's been kind of miserable. XD

Even if there WAS a binding contract, they would not honour it. Not this administration.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

But but but it's such a funny name!! :o

The only principles that republicans hold to anymore is "I win, you lose, my boot on your face forever".

They *really* don't care. All we can do is convince everyone else.

Okay, I'm severely anti-theist, but like... These people need to go on *ALL* the talk shows afterwards to accuse the trump regime of discriminating against christians for not letting them pray in front of ice facilities.

I may be an anti-theist, but at this point, I definitely want the pope to show up and threaten Vance with excommunication and damnation. XD

Honestly, same.

I would consider it sad, and would feel pity...

Except that Muskrat has never experienced it because he's genuinely an egotistical sociopath who has abandoned every possible way he could have ever made anyone actually feel happy and safe and loved.

Okay, like, I hate complex math too (Seriously that Physics Math course I had to take for my compsci degree nearly broke me after my third friggin' attempt at it), and I'm glad that in my current job I don't need to do any of it...

But at LEAST I respect how useful it is! :o
