  • Maybe my memory of it isn't so good (I was little too} but I don't think it was that bad past the initial shock, I just remember being covered in hot, hard bumps that faded after a few hours

  • I once got stung by an entire nest of wasps for the crime of writing down my minigolf score on the little wooden stand they elected to infest.

  • "mods are always right" is an insane take

  • Just realized there is no English equivalent for the French word butiner, so there's a nice little word to add to this nice little thought.

  • It's great for the lavender, that's how it reproduces

  • Wow, I was convinced of that too. I wish I remembered where I read that.

  • I mean that's... not realistic, but road infrastructure can protect cyclists if it's properly designed. Paris is making those changes, but as its cyclist population increases, the areas which haven't been renovated are turning into death traps.

  • I grew up a block away from Seneca village and only found out about it as an adult when they put up signage in the park telling its story.

  • I agree, scaling users isn't the issue, what is is the neverending chase for the mirage that is AGI. They'll throw every processing cycle they can muster at that fever dream, that's the financial black hole.

  • My read on this is that since the end of the cold war, America has had a monopoly on decisionary power, and news media around the world has assigned responsibility for geopolitical events accordingly: whatever happens, wherever it happens, America has, at minimum, assented to it, and is therefore responsible for it. The first truly bizarre application of this reasoning that stood out to me was assigning blame for Russia's invasion of Ukraine on NATO. Since Russia lost the cold war, it is relatively weaker than its western neighbors, propped up by the US, and somehow that turns its acts of aggression over its former territories into defensive measures. It's a unipolar read of geopolitics, where only one dominant power exists at the global scale, and any local complications in the balance of power are simply ignored. The same applies to the US's internal politics. The US decides, so the US is responsible. Never mind all the attacks on democracy, representativity, and citizens' safety and security. In the case of Milei, Orban, Bolsonaro, Putin, etc., people are more willing to see citizens as victims of their failing democracies; with the US, there is a failure to distinguish between the country's global power and its citizens' individual power.

    Add to that longstanding resentment over the US's hegemony and you end up with a lot of people who have sincerely been looking forward to this shitshow. You're just one more piece of tinder in the bonfire they've been waiting for their entire lives

    My point being, you're expecting too much of most people if you're hoping for a compassionate, nuanced read on the situation.

  • I find it interesting how Sam Altman has the same continuous vocal fry Elizabeth Holmes used to have. It's infuriating how well a cheap impression of gravitas performs with investors.

  • First you steal someone's journal.

    Then you post it on a public forum.

    You're a psycho.

  • Don't give in to the haters, em dashes for life

  • And the gulf of Mexico will be a fucking cauldron

  • You're the definition of confidently incorrect 💅

  • I am entirely for the exclusion of exclusionary people, yes.
