I’m not saying I’m above critique. But it is so telling that trans woman are constantly held to this arbitrary standard of moral perfection and if we fall beneath some persons arbitrary bar at any moment, we’re treated as if we’re horrid ppl with zero nuance or anger far above what we did.

Does he, though? He's spent the better part of two decades retroactively claiming credit for the music + sound effects (almost certainly falsely), I don't feel like he'd be stunting like that if he thought it wasn't good.

Seems to be something that was on Dan Harmon's mind, since this came from Community (timestamp 1:47) youtu.be/7EgP7VltcjA?...

Obligatory fourth point:
- the people developing the model need to not be fucking LYING about any of the above

Also a point that these works basically never clear.

I am ambivalent towards ML generated work that
- explicitly identify themselves as such
- used ONLY artists who EXPLICITLY gave consent for their work to SPECIFICALLY be used to train the model
- properly credits and COMPENSATES the artists for their work

Most can't even do one, NONE do all.

(Also, real talk: I love the 3D zeldas but their signposting, especially in the N64 era, can be atrocious. It's really easy to overlook a seemingly throw-away bit of dialogue that's actually essential to figuring out what you should be doing, and I feel audiences aren't forgiving enough of that)

Upside though: in today's Majora's Mask video, the bit where you *didn't realize* that you *didn't actually scoop up the spring water* was fucking hysterical. Honestly the whole episode was fantastic.

Use actual C++, then, instead of "C with Classes". 😉

Speaking as a 30-something millennial, Skibidi Toilet is Based👏As👏Heck and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

My honest guess is they just don't know any*†.

(* This is also quite bad)

(† And this is not a valid excuse for them)

I'm a regular Metra rider, the transit fiscal cliff was actually a scary prospect. 😨

I mean that's good too, but "approving a revenues and reform package that will avert the Chicagoland transit fiscal cliff, structurally close budget gaps for the foreseeable future, and provide additional funding for the state's 63 transit agencies" was the big thing for me personally.

"There is a silent terror in Baseball, one which has never come to pass [...] but the terror is this: there is no guarantee that a Baseball game will ever end."

(Video overall is fantastic, but that quote in particular has always been a favorite of mine)

When I was in Middle School we were given an opportunity to play around with Flash animation in our technology class. It was fun, and something I had a passing interest in pursuing.

Emphasis on "passing", because once I found out how expensive the software was....... That became "unviable".
