I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.

Sometimes I turn into a bird.

  • Shakespeare had no problem with singular they, by the way.

    I also found it natural to use before I had a concept of those existing outside the gender binary. "Who left their umbrella?"

    Mentioning semantic shift here doesn't seem to do anything but make me imagine you are grandpa Simpson yelling at passing clouds.

  • You're Not Imagining It. People Actually Are Starting To Talk Like ChatGPT.

  • Chat GPT is not art.

    Its a case of matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imitating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imatating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods.

  • Hello wizard,

    May I ask what ur favorite "document management system" is (hopefully containerized in docker)?

    How dumb of an idea would it be to become a throuple?

  • In a poly relationship with n members, there will be 2^n - n - 1 interpersonal relationships in play.

    This is the cardinality of the power set of n, minus the number of singleton sets and the empty set.

    Thought i would mention it, just in case you needed a quick way to calculate the number of relationships in ur polycule for ur therapist.

  • American propaganda vs The Truth

    Jump

  • I don't think its real. I searched for the text in on the google and only turned up this image.

    I have seen people blatantly lie about stuff like this about China, but I can't find this particular tweet.

  • ‘Martyrdom or Bust:’ Texas Man Caught Plotting Terror Attack Through Roblox Chats

  • I think it's notable what they didn't find. No guns, weapons. No plane tickets. No bombs or bomb making equipment. No actual real plans, just aimless searches. This guy is young. You can find a picture of this guy online (I'm not going to link it. I think these sorts of sites should be illegal tbh).

    My guess:

    • Mentally ill, possibly mentally disabled
    • Lives with mom/dad etc, probably unemployed or unable to find a "good" job (Not a moral failing. American society is not giving many options for young adults to live "complete" lives).
    • Mom/dad/whoever notices how angry he is and installs a keylogger, because they don't want him to become a mass shooter, and he's a grown man still on Roblox.
    • Immediately confesses everything to FBI

    This guy needs a mental health intervention, not jail time. I have a hard time believing he is much of a public threat since they listed all the cool stuff they found in his house in the FBI charging documents but no guns/etc. This guy didn't have a plan.

    Highly recommend this podcast episode from Reveal: Lessons From a Mass Shooter’s Mother

  • CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function

    Jump

  • Idk man, having down syndrome also gives you a much greater chance of things like heart defects. Life expectancy has improved recently to 50-60yrs old for them according to a quick search. I don't think there's a dilemma here at all. I wouldn't want a disease that decreases my lifespan.

  • Those things aren't too bad unless they need repair/replace....meanwhile you are recommending a solution that starts at like $2500 that only works while you're in the bed.

    Most of the USA has HVAC, but not everyone. I grew up without it. We had in-window units and box fans. You get used to it quickly.

    I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing this as anything but an expensive luxury (that doesn't have physical buttons unless u paid???). Seems pretty silly to pretend its anything but that.

  • Especially for couples where one runs hot and the other runs cold during the night.

    Without elaborating too much, this is my situation, and we solve this by having the room cold for him and blankets for me. Actually, the situation is much better when our insurance stops jerking us around about his medication that fixes his night sweating and other related problems, but we're American, so can't be helped.

    It just seems like a lot of trouble when you can buy a blanket idk.

    Honestly, I'm the one paying for a subscription service that doesn't help (insurance), so I guess I'm the clown here.

  • tbh until I read ur comment I just assumed this was a shitpost tweet making fun of the state of consumer electronics, not a real product

    I bought a gleeb for my glibben needs but it has no interoperability with floob, so I bought an adaptor from Amazon with a weird brand name made of plastic... etc etc

    Just buy a blanket...?

  • These folks are standing up against a great wrong and you're just going to assume they'll go back on their values later?

    What makes you so confident they'd change their minds later and go against those values? Do you know them personally? Do you have a crystal ball to gaze into the future?
