sorry if i hornyposted i like to fixate on my hobbies

  • You know that sci-fi trope of remais of an old civilization that was much more developed than the current one?

    Jump

  • modern Russia is basically the aftermath of the Mad Max bandit leaders carving out their kingdoms and each takes over their own piece of well built but decaying Soviet infrastructure and manufacturing.

    nobody knows how to further develop or repair it but the shit just starts right up

  • Rawr

    Jump

  • my first gf but go back to like 2005 instead.

    i got to watch punks and nu metalhead women make this shift the same as watching skater punks and tough guy hardcore dudes start growing lumberjack beards and wearing beanies (oh and watching everyone's jeans get incredibly tight).

    "i've seen things you won't believe"

  • Trump signs EO to ban states from regulating AI

    Jump

  • people just don't realize they are basically marching orders to his private army. they can just execute the orders with guns and shit. arrest state regulators. even if the courts get them out of it the process is the punishment

  • if you don't let us steal your marginal value you're literally a deatheater

    Jump

  • let me guess without reading: similar to "private property is just stuff owned by a person" this article goes with the assumption that "profit" is simply "what's left after income minus costs".

    those commies just want to run every corporation at a permanent loss and bankrupt us ALL!!!

  • Disney Accuses Google of Using AI to Engage in Copyright Infringement on ‘Massive Scale’

    Jump

  • god sometimes i wish we were in cyberpunk 2077 and two megacorps could literally go MAD with their private nuclear arsenals on each other

  • Urge to fedpost the Time offices rising

    Jump

  • did AI generate this pic? guy on the far right before the cutt off warped asian lady looks like clean cut Seth Rogan

    not one single body looks remotely natural

  • NSFW

    So I joined the feds, literally

    Jump

  • same but for NWS except everything has now been privatized (even the spotter network) and i had to buy my own shirt

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE?????

    Jump

  • yeah same. plus this is the busy time of the year for me at work and i'm too exhausted.

  • Trump is literally doing the "don't believe your lyin' eyes" meme in regards to the price of food fucking skyrocketing.

    Jump

  • and SCP style containment procedures

  • Skyblivion dev here! Here to answer any questions you have about the project AMA

    Jump

  • No questions, but as someone who has made a hobby out of customizing games (using mods) and appreciates the hard work done by modders to allow me to do so

    eventually i got so good that I started beta testing, making patches, content, etc. but i haven't published an actual mod in almost 15 years I am purely a consumer

    Mods keep me playing games despite some efforts by corpos and bad actors to crush it. sometimes it feels like the only two (mostly digital) things on the internet that are true hobby spaces where people can be creative without mandatory monetary gain: mods and fanfic. Both spun from something people love and want to expand upon. i will fight for both to the bitter end (even though I don't read fanfic)

    so thank you for working so hard on this project with your team and I hope to check it out one day.

  • Layoffs in 2025 Second-Highest Since 2009 in Potential Sign of Looming Recession

    Jump

  • yeah there's this realization now that everyone is so atomized and siloed they can just gaslight forever now

    everyone will individually think it's their own failings because they are told everything is good. more depression, mass shootings, lashing out, self-harm

  • Trump is literally doing the "don't believe your lyin' eyes" meme in regards to the price of food fucking skyrocketing.

    Jump

  • rapidly lowering gas prices = signs of a massive economic slowdown.

    it's certainly not due to some massive buildout of public transportation supplemented by EVs and bicycle infrastructure

  • I wasn't made for this

    Jump

  • it actually makes me feel like low intensity psychosis sometimes. i don't trust any short form video and can't even browse fashion ideas anymore because it's 99% AI gen

    so yeah. hopefully this gets all of us off the internet eventually (lol). at least there's no incentive to slopify places like this because there's no $ to be made. instead we just get eventually targeted by the U.S. security Eye for shitposting in ways not acceptable to the groypers and christian nationalists that run it

  • I wasn't made for this

    Jump

  • sucks my local library system has next to nothing good on the shelves. hard to browse. i can order nearly any book and have it at my branch in 48 hours though but it takes something away from the experience and makes it internet brained and impersonal again. oh well

    at least one of the librarians has an undercut and dyed hair and seems cool AF (there's always at least one, even out in the sticks)

  • Yay crawly robots

    Jump

  • we get closer to the ultimate robot body plan: the jumping spider

  • I'm sorry but the chastity belt stays ON during sex

    Jump

  • there is modern technology that would make this possible

  • The RAM Shortage Comes for Us All | Jeff Geerling

    Jump

  • one of my few hobbies i was getting really good at and i guess this is my last home built PC. glad i grabbed some extra stuff pre-tarriffs just in case

  • RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

    Jump

  • i bet newegg is really regretting giving me that free 32 gig kit now
