today I was poking around wikipedia, as I do, and I learned that in 2024 the protection settings for "Francium" were changed due to persistent vandalism by francium-haters and for some reason this tickles me pink. humans will get upset about anything

every so often I marvel that the entire world is being dominated by a guy who ran for president on a lark to improve his visibility for his businesses

welcome to grasbrunn. ironically, I have moved from living in an actual office to living in an apartment that was converted from an office (the building still has some businesses in it). still, I have things like a kitchen, shower, freezer, and washer-dryer now. and the place is cute!

this remains my comfort-food movie in uncertain times. it has everything - feel-good moments, authentic nerdery, bangin' soundtrack, 80s nostalgia, great performances, and a strong moral core. almost all of it holds up, avoiding tropes of its time that have since become problematic

this right here is about 70% of my possessions. the boxes on the floor (and the two boxes on top of those boxes) and the green bag with the air mattress in it. fan and things on the table not included.
+ lg/sm suitcases w/ clothes/shoes, pc w/ accs., pillows, duvet cover. and that's it, all I own.

had a thing for fighter-mages ever since moldvay basic d&d, where the "elf" class was "why not both?" the extra xp reqs seemed more than worth it

if you turn quote posts off I'm gonna dunk on you.
guys like this miss the point - mamdani is trying to help the kind of people who take buses to work - the less well off residents of the city he will govern. the point is not to make "a good return". the point is to help those who need it!

I see this kind of take and I have flashbacks to my time in america, yes almost 50 years of it, where I felt like I was going mad, all the time, whenever politics was brought up. I think that's what really wore me down. the constant gaslighting of it all.

this is exactly what I keep talking about with LLMs. sure they hallucinate, sure they get a lot of stuff wrong. but who cares, argue the boosters. after all humans get stuff wrong too

I have definitely noticed that the biggest proponents of LLMs are business guys. my dad is a business guy and he loves it. my guess is that business guys are used to getting things wrong now and again and don't really care about that, they just want to move fast and break things or whatever

well I checked. the screenshot only fits 32 games with 240+ hours played. I feel like I am a pretty one dimensional guy but I somehow still have time to hang out with my partner, go on vacations, drink for hours at a bar now and again. I guess I take it out of my sleep, which I never get

steam. get rid of your fucking jester award already. get rid of "found it funny". once again, your userbase is too immature to use it properly.

I am cis, het, and 99% of the time I pass as wht and I never in the last 50 yrs felt like I had any undue restrictions on my speech. where people asked me to be kinder about what I said I took it to heart. and if you felt like your speech was restricted that says as much about you as I need to know.
