They had a quite loud lack of spice leading up to 2016. They need to stop engaging with conservatives at their word because their goal is to conserve an autocratic corporate state, not democracy. They've been pulling their most important punches and now we all have existential crises.

I just want my home assistant to turn the specific lights on that I want. Still can't do that unless I code my sentence into exactly the right syntax. I actually think it's gotten *worse*

(this has been an example of AI not fucking helping in a situation where it actually could be helpful)

Now to figure out how to convey it to students that learning is actually good and finishing the program without learning should not be the goal. (Not all students, I know!)

I'm calling it now from the trailer alone: in Bugonia, Emma Stone IS actually an alien and those two idiots are the only ones who are ACTUALLY RIGHT.

No I haven't seen or read the original or know anything else so please let me sit in this until I get to see it.

TikTok removed this video after 150k+ views, thousands of likes, and hundreds of shares. Before removing it, they limited shares, added a content warning, and gave people strikes for downloading and reposting.

My followers over there have asked me to share it here so they can still access it.

I saw many comments to the tune of "hey Star Wars, to whatever you try to do after Andor: good luck."

They already found the right answer to how to follow Andor and it's Fortnite.

Star Wars Fortnite right now whips ass.

Great job.

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

YouTube video by Mark Sherman Ghost Stairs: DLSS artifacting in Satisfactory 1.0

I was investigating visual artifacts in Satisfactory the other day. The REALLY bad ones were a driver problem so I rolled back but in the process I found DLSS being wrong in ways I don't remember it being a year ago....

Watching the phlebotomist swipe my credit card in the exam room before drawing my blood was a surreal late-stage capitalist experience.

It's been normalized but is NOT normal. They don't even pay a reception person to do the payment, it's the nurse. Private healthcare is terrible.

Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

I moved to a suburb a couple years ago. The libraries are all closed on Sunday. Is this a suburb thing or a political erosion of public infrastructure thing? I can't tell.
