Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I love seeing stuff that's actually entertaining being made haha

I can't help but feel like federated sites are as p2p as they want to be. There's lots of small instances.

Nobody told leftists that the hammer and sickle represent people working for a living (or that Lenin said "he who does not work shall not eat")

I could see that being a problem for any system that's trying to be universal.

Human beings tend to learn about and model the people around them so they can understand what to expect. If an AI model instead tries to build a generic model for interacting with a universalized average person representing "anyone" then I'd always expect it fail quite often and fall into an uncanny valley because there is no single way to participate in a group, because there are unlimited groups.

Honestly, it's kinda already happening.

At the rate we're going, you'll be getting 60k cans of Coke.

The age that the average person has kids is indicative of the general quality of life in an era, and that's been the case throughout history. People waiting so long they're infertile from old age indicates that today life is particularly hard despite being better off in material terms than most other times in history thanks to the advance of technology.

If things were as good as the elites tell us they are, then it would be common to have 45 year old grandmothers, since 21 isn't really an unrealistic time to be married and pregnant if you're not terrified about whether you can feed another mouth and lose an earner in the household.

Imagine, there's women who are grandmothers at that age..... Great grandmothers if her family's story is particularly tragic.

Tay shall live again!

I thought that openAI would train based on the dataset from all the people using chatgpt, but as far as I can tell it's never learned anything from conversations I've had with it when I tried.

My pebble was still the best smart watch I ever had except for 2 things: First, it had a major design flaw where the screen would fail after a while, and second it wasn't nearly waterproof enough.

But it was the best combination of usability and keeping the battery use low enough that you weren't charging it every day (which for a watch isn't acceptable) I still miss being able to pick from a number of autoreplies to messages. I think I had "Yes" "no" "maybe" "haha" and "I'll talk more later"

Canada is implementing a suicide hotline next year. 30 minutes or your suicide's free.

Marketing is tough. You might think the girl in the middle is nicer looking, but the girls on the sides are more likely to catch more people's eye in a lineup of different twitch thots and so for the purpose may be better.

Life isn't advertising so it's important not to get entirely caught up on image and drawing eyes because it's bad for your psychology to live that way.

Reality is, I can't tell you what "we" believe because I'm not a king or the CEO of a certain group, I'm just me. You might imagine I hold many opinions I don't based on my affiliation, or you might imagine I'd never hold many opinions based on the same, but I'm always just trying to figure out the world and it's complicated out there so I might not even hold the same opinions as myself 5 years ago, let alone other people.

Riker is secretly a channel. He's sitting there going "hah vanilla"

Throw every member of congress and the senate in there and you'll be able to charge 100 dollars a pop. :P

I would hate to be the janitor on holodeck duty.

Regardless of which ship you go with, Scotty is the goat.

I finished volume 6 of 100 million year button, it's still so much fun. This time cain didn't show up, but I still want Allen to ask him to use his move again so he can train some more. It just seems lik a wasted checkovs gun.

The guy is starting to be straight up op, a global military level threat according to the story. Ironically it all moves very fast. I blast through a new volume in a couple hours and it's already over.

"Be careful of lone actor violence, we've got a bunch lined up and it would be a waste not to use them."

This was the best thing I'd ever seen when I first saw it on dial-up.
