Rolling for Stew

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

After Careful Thought, I Have Decided That Our Ship Actually Is Being Attacked by the Kraken

For a long time I resisted the idea that the multiple tentacles tearing at the thin wooden planks of our vessel represented some kind of 'sea monster' threat. But when the facts change, I change my mind.

hey i skimmed your post and saw some words i recognize. anyway here's my opinion on what i imagine you said

Who could have *possibly* seen coming that besmirching 'purity tests' would result in the whole country getting dysentery??

Burn results tree to go through how quickly it starts, what it smells like, how soon it goes out, and what residue it leaves. The real alchemy.

100% agree, and Ill take it further to say that good stories have a logic and rhythm to them... anticipating what comes next should be possible. If it isn't, the storytelling values surprise too highly and relies on random coincidence.

Bad stories spend their whole time trying to shock and surprise you.

Good stories build connections and anticipation, grounding you in moments and characters and building momentum for the huge scenes. That "predictability" is the sign that they are good.

big red dot labeled 'point' and a line labeled 'you' that curves away so as to miss it.

Yeah, that wasnt an option for me because tech's advanced and people want those of us who werent alive to skip straight to knowing all the modern stuff and telling you that you don't need to learn the foundation. that is my complaint here. Sorry you don't understand the passage of time works ig

straight up not true. windows is a system that people will have more often been shown in their life and *comes preinstalled* I had to smother windows in its sleep (and it fought me on that) so I could switch. Linux's whole point is you can make it exactly how you want. That is the opposite of newbie

Part of my point was that I should not have needed to have taken a class to have that base knowledge to begin with. But sence you brought up generations first, my gen often gets told to "figure it out" while being activly deprived of the means to do that.

If I had not already known how a command line worked (which I learned in a class) I would have exploded in frustration. The context is pointing out people forget you are not born knowing the basics of their fields and so its harder for you to learn them cause the resources are not there.

Your counter to my statement of "this thing is not as easy to start with as some people claim if you have zero context for how anything about it works" includes a laundry list of context that you were able to get.

This is why, even as someone who is full enough of frustration and therefore hate to have done it to myself, I will *never* be one of those "just switch to linux" guys. Even the 'newbie friendly' was only managed cause I'd taken a few comp-sci classes.

The reason people react aggressively to AI use isn’t bcuz we aren’t capable of having nuanced convos. It’s because you using AI is an act of aggression. There is no both sides here. You are stealing, funding billionaires who lobby against the greater good, and enable labor theft. Hope this helps.

As a fan of {my favourite property} I can easily say it’s a better version of {your favourite property}, in fact {your favourite property} is a rip off of {my favourite property}, which is made for ACTUAL ADULTS!!

As such, I am morally better for liking {my favourite property} and await my points.

I'm bored of "Baby It's Cold Outside" discourse as is. Its been completely beaten to death. I need someone famous to take one for the team and do a lesbian cover. lets mix it up w/ some Juice.

You could spend tons of finite time & energy explaining to your child the perils of our impending dystopia or you can simply play Delton 3030 over and over again for them while taking frequent naps & get the same results.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I simply don't have it in me anymore, to pretend to give a shit about the beatles.

Their music and lore™️ were such a big deal in my childhood home when a 'new' version of their records came out. But they're just fine. they're alright. they had some fun songs. can we move on?

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

Hard not to consider the possibilty of grand conspiracy level bs being real when "release the customer list for the child SA slave island that we all already know exists" is getting this kind of reaction from everyone including government officals

The reason people read “I like pancakes” as “he hates waffles” is a literacy problem! We stopped teach people how to sound out words and what those words mean and how those words work in conjunction with each other to communicate a whole thought. We taught people how to read based on vibes!

This is aging maddeningly well. How to sweep an election and then immidiatly make everyone hate you, a masterclass by the 'democratic' party. For the record, no one saying "I told you so" to the true believers is happy about it. We'd all much rather have a functioning democracy.
