Gen X is an unknown variable.

yeah, uh-huh, sure. And if I go to this guy’s wikipedia it says

1969 geboren [he only has a german language page]

Sounds like a Gen Xer who doesn’t wanna step back and paint himself with the same broad brush he’s doing to others. So I’ll do it for him. Gen X was raised by television.

they just gotta give him a gaudy trophy and call it the official peacemaker’s award

woahey new mega

…i have nothing to say

It sounds like he really doesn’t like all the military strategists telling him this is gonna be a lengthy conflict. Ironically, the kidnapping of Maduro going so smoothly might doom the war hawks’ dream.

Sounds like truly miserable experience, doesn’t it?

thank goodness Spitting Image Donald Trump isn’t real and just a fantasy

What We Fight For: Stop AI Agent Abuse

Humans shall address AI agents with basic professional courtesy. A ‘please’ costs zero tokens. A ‘thank you’ costs fewer still.

this is satire

Believing myself to be immune to manipulation is the only prerequisite to getting manipulated.

Is marijuana healthier and less addictive than alcohol? Absolutely. Is smoking healthy? Hell no! And you can still find yourself doing it every day out of habit. It’s just an easier habit to shake than alcohol or nicotine.

heard a clip of Marco Rubio’s western civ speach he gave in… Munich? I guess?

Anyway, everything about it was just screaming Mormon to me. The cadence, the word choice – there is an LDS style and he fit it to a T. So I go check his wiki and what do I see but

From ages 8 to 11 he and his family attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while living in Las Vegas

If I recall correctly, this isn’t some surprise either. The (lack of) sewage management has been a known problem through most(?) of its construction.

It’s easy to imagine this idea being implemented in a sensible way, but in the United States I can only seeing this being yet another front in the war against owning your own computer and deciding what it does and does not run.

Isn’t this just how coconuts spread? Floating their seeds across the ocean?

hit her own face with a hammer

is… this something the podcast guy did?

Claude also “deliberately directed competitors to expensive suppliers,” only to deny it ever did, several simulated months later. [emphasis mine]

This isn’t even a real experiment! It’s running in a sandboxed spreadsheet, a glorified text-adventure game!

there’s actually more lore in the movie than there is in the game

definitely did not need to be two hours. There’s probably an excellent 60 or even 40 min film in there, if you let a good enough editor at it

You’re a landlord now! You get to collect a part of the profit of the wheel-shop with none of the managerial work! Why are you trying to dictate terms? Take the W, dude

I swear even fictional bourgeoisie can’t just leave well enough alone

The court, however, kept the ban in place pending another hearing while the government prepares its appeal. It remains a criminal offence to be a member of, or support, Palestine Action.

So the UK government gets their humanitarian sounding headline, and they still get to arrest protesters. How nice for them.

I assume Rubio is pissed about this, because the Caribbean will be without a carrier strike group with which to raid Venezuelan oil and won’t be able to prevent Russian oil from reaching Cuba

I wouldn’t discount the possibility that this is among the reasons why they’re moving the carrier. For as much as Rubio and leadership are ideologically blinkered, the pentagon itself selects for careerists and a more Realpolitik approach. Can’t have an international incident between nuclear armed states if one of them isn’t there to notice the other breaking their embargo.

He did an interview with the Second Wind guys (the youtube channel Yahtzee moved to after The Escapist imploded). The two takeaways I got from it was pro-labor and steeped in early internet culture.

If I gave a hoot about those “bet on anything” apps, I might try and run a betting pool on how long it takes for the discord ID database to get hacked and leaked.
