“Life is a bitter mystery. We can’t give everything away for free. It’s not that kind of country.”

Tautology School Degree. Why not?

I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I’m rope guy I guess

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn’t actually the bicycle, it’s smooth road. If you don’t have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one’s not even a 100 years old.

It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

“The Computer never makes a mistake” is true and also probably responsible for people believing LLM-hallucinations uncritically

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

I feel like we also got a new kind of guy, the tech-forward digital illiterate. They run most of everything.

3. a self-fulfilling prophecy of pitbulls having a bad reputation and actively being sought out by people who want vicious dogs and who will treat their dogs in such a way as to encourage that behavior.

I’m pretty neutral on dog genetics but tbh it still ends you at the same conclusion; not everyone should just be able to get the dog that kills you

What if we AI passes the turing test not because computers got intelligent but because people got dumber

I understand your vision now

Explore might be pushing it but there’s the old 3rd Gen AA title Darkest of Days where you you’re a timecop and get to mow down american civil war formations with your future machine gun

I feel like Battlebits gets pretty close to this?

TF2 Competitive

the grind got so shitty the logistics players actually went on strike

gripping experiences such as: not being homeless, not starving

what the fuck man

you ever wonder if there was like a short outlier on national core strength during that era?

I feel like there’s a great vibe difference in people collecting things that are unintentionally rare and those that collect intentionally rare things

To stick with the given example: I think some guy collecting vintage Mockbas would be a lot cooler than some guy collecting the newest limited edition sneaker.

I know the feeling and also I’m curious, what’s the difference here? What choices present themselves?

I always figured if any given app wants my contacts it’d scrape and upload them somewhere so I always say no, but I see the use case now
