I drive a car with an internal combustion engine.
I’d prefer to drive a plug-in hybrid, so I could produce slightly less greenhouse gas.
But I’d really prefer a walkable neighbourhood with reliable rapid transit. Maybe car sharing for trips.
It went down a couple of weeks ago. It was weird to think of an Internet community without porn. Another instance got spun up a week or two later.
Are there ever things for the players to hide behind? I feel like dodge ball would benefit from that.
Is there a sample instance so we can see it in action?
That looks neat! Thanks for posting it!
This is it. Persistence, curiosity, and rigor are so much more important than intelligence or knowledge.
Lots of people have great ideas. Being able to sit down and make them work is hard. That’s where persistence kicks in.
It’s funny how “at home” I feel with vim. Everything is where it should be. It works the way I expect. It’s nice.

I agree. Unexplained downvotes on posts that look like they’re in good faith weaken the platform - it’s slapping someone who spent time and effort writing their idea.
I’ve heard of other systems that require a reason (or comment) to go along with a downvote. That seems like a good approach.
ChatGPT (in deep research mode) generated this text responding to the prompt: “Provide a list of claims that were originally dismissed as conspiracy theories but were later proved true”.
Well done, ChatGPT. Well done.
Sounds like a tough job.
That’s really sad. I hope the kid got away from that shit.
Does this relate to your AI grandmother post?
He was well fed and offered different foods. His owners played with him and kept him clean. He didn’t want to eat. They had him tested for allergies, etc but the vet didn’t find anything wrong. They put him on something to increase his appetite. He ate a little. Then he stopped.
We don’t need a variety of food to survive. But, generally, we have choice, so we choose to vary our diet because it’s more interesting.
Pets do not have a choice. They eat what they’re given. Or they choose not to and die (a lil cat I was sitting chose that route).
I enjoyed Wreck-it Ralph. I thought they did a great job with the reveal.
I watch movies to escape reality.
I feel like Aliens is a great example of this. The Marines grow over the course of the mission. Everyone has a sensible motivation (to them), and works towards it. The plot is simple, but there’s clear risk because characters die.
I feel like you won the shit lottery. There are varying degrees of fucked-upedness, and it varies by region/culture/economic status, but that list seems like you’ve experienced a disproportionately shitty upbringing.
I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I hope you’re able to surround yourself with more normal people.
You’re getting relief from gas with it, rather than reflux or gutrot?
Apparently Mitsubishis (and others, I assume) are smart enough to use the gas before it goes bad. 🤷♂️
