I grew up with science classes telling us always state the digits individually. One point three two.

Yo momma so fat she doesn’t have a waist size, she has a Schwarzschild radius.

You callin’ me fat?

I’m so tired of capitalism.

My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.

Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀

Hell yes.

It makes me so mad that Namco patented load screen minigames for long enough that load screens have kinda gotten scarce and short enough that we don’t need the time waster anymore.

The stupidest part is that of fucking COURSE there are zero tariffs if you move to the US, because tariffs are BY DEFINITION placed on imports. There’s no limit to the fuckery he can apply to you domestically, it’s just guaranteed not to be called “tariffs”.

True, sure. I’m just saying the overall price of games has gone down significantly over time. An upward correction makes some sense. I’m not cheering it on, just trying to help frame the circumstances.

Ocarina of Time cost $116.91 at launch, accounting for inflation.

Edit: the original Legend of Zelda cost $144.89 at launch, also after inflation.

“We’re having trouble with AI solving problems. Let’s solve the problem with AI.”

It’s not strictly a bad idea or doomed or anything, but it makes me sad.

I would suggest redirecting slightly. Every single publicly traded tech company eventually fully enshittifies into predatory ad/data revenue generation due to the fundamental requirement that they not only generate profit, but that they consistently generate growth.

I could create an amazing app, sell it for $5, and if 5 million people download it and I don’t sell out or incorporate and go public, I could just cruise on it and retire happily. There’s no intrinsic pressure to switch profit models because I don’t owe anybody shit.

Yeah, it has its flaws, but I think if you just give it a chance and don’t obsess over the Star Warsness of it, it’s just a fun movie.

As an American, I am not an accelerationist, but I am somewhat darkly satisfied to see the military industrial complex reach the Find Out stage.

They’ve been added to the watchlist.

Wait, is that the watchlist?

Yeah that’s the one. Whew, for a minute I thought we added them to the war planning chat.

Wait, fuck.

Amanita minute to get ready for some real talk in this thread.

You seem like a fungi

A couple random ones:

Sneakers is the OG hacker film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must. It’s a computer-driven heist film from the 90’s and even though the tech aged, the movie holds up beautifully.

Believe it or not, I’m gonna recommend Solo: A Star Wars Story. It is, at its heart, a sci-fi heist flick.

Repeat after me: LLMs do not have intelligence.

Get in losers, we’re going rotting.

Assjowl?
