Maybe a hot take, but I liked The Pope’s Exorcist, hit all the right classic-supernatural-horror buttons for me. Didn’t know about this newer movie but now I wanna watch it

A friend in high school made nude drawings of another mutual friend. It was weird he showed me but he was generally an artsy guy and I knew he was REALLY into this girl and it was kind of in the context of showing he his art work. I reconnected with the girl years later and talked about this and while she said it was weird she didn’t really think much of it. Rather, the creepy part to her was that he showed people.
I don’t think we can stop horny teens from making horny content about their classmates, heck, I know multiple girls who wrote erotic stories featuring classmates. The sharing (and realism) is what turns the creepy but kind of understandable teenage behavior into something we need to deal with
Bad times tend to pass. I find myself forgetting in the moment sometimes and yeah, life is frequently enjoyable in lots of different ways, so I try to remember that.
The band Ripe’s latest album, Bright Blues, but that’s practically every day for a while now
I luckily don’t have any major incidents but a couple stick out in my memory.
First time I realized an encounter was racist was my first time at a summer camp in the US around age 12.
I went with a friend to line up for the showers in the morning and it was just us two and another kid. I barely noticed he was there cause I was caught up in conversation. Not long later some other kids walk in and the waiting kid just blurts out in relief “Thank god, I was the only white guy here!” And even in my innocent, privileged little 12 year old brain I knew that was kind of fucked up.
Also had a South African girl break up with me as a teen cause her parents literally cited my nationality as an issue… While they were living in my country…
I’m all for paying developers when the product is good. Boost was recommended to me by someone I trust, and I believe the controversial permissions were addressed by the developer saying it was boiler plate stuff for the ad service they were using, so I have no problems recommending it at the price they’re offering for ad free
I know people like the FOSS apps like Jerboa, but I wasn’t into the interface. I heard there were big changes since I tried it though so maybe it’s good now.
That said, Boost is my daily driver. Was happy with the Reddit version so I paid for the ad free Lemmy version too. Everything works and it’s all smooth and intuitive (to me at least).
I also tried Sync and I do think it’s nicer than Boost but WAY more expensive to go ad free.
Burnt butt crack, got it!
I know nothing about guns but I wanna know, what happens if he starts firing that thing?
Yeah, they’re great! I remember first reading about them well probably over a decade ago. They do amazing work.
They’ve legitimately done a lot of good in the fight for freedom of/from religion and separation of church and state. I’m not sure what the argument is because even though I called it “shenanigans” their actions have had tangible effects in the fight against religious extremism so I would call it better at least then just letting the religious zealots have their way. There’s a great Stuff You Should Know podcast episode about them and some of the work they’ve done if your interested
Genuinely looking forward to the Satanic Temple shenanigans over this one. A competing Satan infused curriculum would be fun
I feel like QAnon keeps upping the ante on the term “unhinged”
I’m going to YEMEN!
After trying a search, opened Lemmy to see if it was my connection, immediately see this meme. Thanks for the troubleshooting confirmation Lemmy
Crypto - Meh, I have digital banking and payment processing already, with easy enough international transfers. I’m good.
AI - I see the possibilities, I think we should continue to develop it even if just for the medical applications of machine learning. Right now people just like playing with it, but, privacy issues aside, I don’t think it’s a waste.
Yeah, maybe some kind of situation where you turn it on for “training time” with access to only specified files and systems on the computer, no internet access, etc. At the same time though, I wonder how much an AI could really streamline things. Would it just pre-load my frequent files and programs? Make suggestions or reminders on tasks? I don’t think we’re anywhere near the level where it could actually be doing work for me yet.
Interesting possibilities, but I’m not sure how useful yet.
I hate this but I also get it.
A little while ago on the TWIT podcast one of the guests, or maybe Leo himself, was talking about how this is exactly what they want out of AI, for it to be able to know how they use their computer and just streamline everything. Some people are really excited about the possibilities, and yeah, the AI needs to track whatever you’re doing to know how to help you with your work flow.
That said, I don’t want Microsoft keeping track of everything I’m doing. They’ve already shown that they’re willing to sell our data and shove ads down our throats, so as much as they say we can filter out what we don’t want tracked, I’m not inclined to trust or believe them.
That’s exactly how I think of it, so strange someone downvoted you
That was my first thought too; would this improve treatment for serious burn victims and such. Sounds like what they’ve made is better overall for sticking to applied surfaces and moving without tearing. Heck, maybe this could even lead to prosthetics that allow physical sensation
