It’s great for parsing through the enshittified journalism.

It’s ironic that GenAI is great for solving a problem it caused. It’s like hiring a gangster to take you through gangster-controlled territory.

I think this speaks more to the usefulness of performance reports than the usefulness of GenAI

Even the news is in re-runs.

The first movie was actually pretty great for it’s time

Goodness. Did we see the same movie? Even with the better-than-Money-For-Nothing graphics the first one was not all that great of a movie to start with. Plus it tried to cash in on the hot streak that Stephen King stories were on at the time: the movie had nothing to do with the short story of the same name.

Still, I do not doubt your claim that the sequel was horrible.

Orwell didn’t know he was also writing about the Entertainment-Industrial Complex.

After watching this very playthrough of MyHouse a few months ago, I still remember a few scenes. So very unsettling. buddy’s narration style is really compelling too.

I wonder how many times someone has tried to turn House Of Leaves into a movie or a series. It would be pretty wild no matter how they tried it.

a) Certainly. b) FYI it’s “senseless drivel” which sounds almost exactly the same.

Chris Rock is a pretty smart motherfucker.

Ladies and Gentlemen… the Foo Lickers!

That’s a good read, but all the pages shown as links from that page are also very interesting.

hey now, the US has a long and storied history of loving the fuck out of female presidential candidates.

Somehow I associate airflow being shut off with a turbine fan slowing and stopping. I guess due to Total Recall and OG Half Life?

Ultima IV : Quest Of The Avatar

I played that game for WEEKS, found all of the places, found all the people, found all the dungeons, figured out all the spell recipes, spent a good amount of time meditating (my character is meditating and the music is really pretty so I may as well just chill and think for a bit), and I even learned about excommunication. but did I finish it? No. My buddy Jason finished it, though. :) (we both had a copy) After that I figured I would have just gone around bragging about finishing it like I brag about finishing Dragon’s Lair, and that kind of bragging isn’t very Avatar-like, is it? So I was content to have helped my friend finish it. Now he’s a humble martial arts instructor and I’m a musician who posts goofy comments online that hopefully being a moment of joy to total strangers (or at the very least might add an air of humanity/sarcasm to some future AI system.)

now this is a bit more like it :)

they care about the legitimacy of the court

it’s just amusing to see these words put together in this way.

It will take a few days of pain to get your fingers accustomed to pressing the strings

starting with Classical (nylon) strings is easier on the fingers. Or get a ukulele: fewer strings to press.

a) what you say is true b) these car-related issues affect other countries just as much : I’m Canadian. c) there are other things that WFH improves as well, but they are far enough behind the car-related problems that they can seem petty by comparison. They aren’t petty at all, but they do make a convenient foil for those who argue against WFH.

It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram

yeah a lot cheaper to force someone else to buy double the RAM. No thanks.

a) don’t let in anyone who acts like petulant children b) give adults an outlet for occasional outbursts that would make them sound like petulant children
