I want a story about three different scientists who invent three different time machines, but each time machine follows different common time travel rules...
I am actively working on this now. I wanted a new side project and this idea is cool. If anyone else wants to do their own version let's go

Hmm that article about Asus ROG having "high repair volume" is concerning on multiple levels. One, why are they having that many issues? Secondarily I am wondering how much of this is issues with getting placement parts.

When Twitter was purchased I made it clear that there was nothing that was going to "replace it" en masse. People splintered and have stayed splintered, breaking into their individual "verticals" (to use a marketing phrase).
The same is going to happen with Discord.

This is the disconnect from the billionaire class: personalizing everything removes the entire point of watching sports. Why do sports still do well? It's not just because it's live; it's because it's a shared experience. It's the one thing left where you are watching with others simultaneously.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Is the llm that I programmed to respond to what I typed in alive? Is it not thinking when it responds to my question with a wrong answer? Maybe I am not asking the right question.

Nobody wants to associate with Dean Spanos.
How's your team doing in Epstein Rankings? DC in front, Niners in second, Patriots Owner who sends his branded plane to Gitmo and gave his Superbowl Ring to Putin in third.
Only team with NO MENTIONS is your Houston Texans. Rams, Chargers, Bills second from the bottom with 2.

There's a developer that continues to be propped up over and over as if they are talented, capable or successful and I find it endlessly confusing.

98% of Americans have no clue what the Dow is and it being up or down is irrelevant in any capacity to their lives. Yet, I am certain there are some also shouting about how it is high right now as if that is valuable when the cost of every single thing in the economy has doubled or tripled.

I am so tired of people making sweeping and wildly incorrect categorizations of pro wrestling fans. They are all almost uniformly left leaning and those that aren't are ridiculed out into their own tiny island of incompetency.

Let us never forget the rollout for this had blatant unnecessary lying for the entire pre-release as if Khan was some magic trick and then, when it actually happens in the movie that removes even the slightest impact it may have theoretically had

This kind of buffoonery isn't unexpected from these people because if they don't play pretend, no one will. The concerning part is how many people don't understand that this is just marketing.
I had a conversation with someone that is convinced "everyone uses AI like how he does". No they don't.

Watching a breakdown of a Taylor swift album because i am still sick and the worst part is that it's very lyric oriented but when you listen to the chorus on some of these songs over and over like this it's like, oh yeah

Early simpsons has a billion amazing jokes but Lance Murdoch signing his signature with the pen in his mouth gets me every time. It also has perfect timing in that it's the exact length to be funny, know the jokes coming, laugh, be like "is this going too long?" And then it wraps around again.
