  • I used it the other day when a kid on my bus buckled the extra 5th point harness on himself that can’t be taken off without assistance, which he doesn’t require, and I warned him if he puts it on I won’t take it off until the destination. He tried bargaining, but I told him I’ll die on this hill. He’s only 5, but he got that it wasn’t going to do anything other than what I said. Also, I know for a fact all he’s going to do if I take it off is immediately put it back on. And it can’t harm him, it’s just an extra strap on a harness.





  • they weren’t white either. and black Africans were well known to all of Africa and the Mediterranean FAR further back than written history. Greeks aren’t even white, as far as you want to use “white” as some kind of identification, it’s useless other than as a racist concept to harm other people, but the most generous inclusions are pretty fucking difficult to include Greeks in. dark skin, woolly hair, blunt noses, a language distinctly outside European language roots. you got nothing.



  • very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don’t understand it. seroiusly “hay I’m one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren’t even designed to do what were claiming, and they don’t even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they’re horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don’t think it’s a bubble.”


  • had a therapist try to get me to realize Jesus is the answer to all of life’s problems. At the time I had been going to a christian church all my life. like yeah, OK Debbie, I like Jesus too, but praying it’s making me have less OCD behaviors I want need to start coping with or breaking so it stops ruining my life.


  • This is a pretty perfect explanation of why you’re not going to see AI being used for anything serious in the art world for a very long time. you can’t randomize your character designs every time you need more than one clip, angle, iteration, that breaks the function of comercial art entirely. Yes I know it’s technically been done, but it’s exactly what people call it, AI slop. You can’t randomize every element of a film every time you need a new shot, a cut, a new scene with the same characters, backgrounds, or lighting.

    I live in farm country, and pay for farm labor is usually very fair. It’s seasonal work in remote locations, but the pay isn’t bad at all. Also most the migrant farm laborers only stay for the season, that is if it isn’t too hostile for them to try working the season in the first place.
