and every cunt with a “he/him” or “she/her” in twitter bio that doesnt need it.

🙄

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

And this right here is a great reason to buy anything else other than pre-order GTA6.

Simulation theory is the long way around to creationism for atheists.

Holy heck in wow! Love the art direction! I’m always a sucker for deck builders, but I haven’t seen one with such a cute style! Might just be picking this up soon.

What is going on with those faces?! lol

All hobbies that don’t involve a screen. I’ve been having serious mobility issues, where standing for more than a few minutes is painful and I leave the house only in my wheelchair. It makes going to restaurants, concerts and events difficult. Makes going on hikes impossible or even existing in parks more painful than pleasurable.

Appreciate your legs y’all. :(

I worked for a newspaper overseeing delivery drivers, one of which was regularly hotboxing his car while waiting for his route to be printed. He wasn’t subtle and he was always a little out of it. My bosses said it wasn’t our problem because technically he was a contractor, not an hourly employee. His route took place around 2 AM so with empty roads it hadn’t really been a problem, but I didn’t want indirect blood on my hands when it invariably DID become a problem.

So I called in a suspicious driving report after he left the warehouse one night. The next night his route was being done by someone else. I worry that I caused him long term trouble by involving the police, but I try to balance that against the potential trouble of a crash.

Idk, I don’t regret my choice, but I do still feel conflicted when I think on it.

Oooooh that’s good! I’m gonna try incorporating that in to my day to day. Ty!

This is an oversimplification, but tldr…

Tankies are Authoritarian communist, as opposed to democratic or liberal communism. It refers to when the soviet union put down rebellion in Hungry and Czechoslovakia by rolling in the tanks. It prioritizes order over individual freedoms.

So I’m not into megs man, platformer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be. I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?

Oh that was it. My mom used to say it a lot. Sort of a meta answer I suppose. 😂

When getting advice, consider if the speakers life is one you want for yourself.

The uno reverse card you’re trying to play is so silly. Yes, I am intolerant of intolerance. This sort of queerphobic bigotry is hateful, cringe and diametrically opposed to “acceptance”. You can’t be supportive of queer lives when you are also demonizing queer repsentation as ugly.

None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming

Some real capital G-amer takes here. Come everyone, let’s join hands and “objectively” agree to hate minority bodies.

I mean, the guy worked for the Russian embassy stationed in Alaska. It’s not even a consisparcy that this was staged PR propaganda.

I smoked for a couple years but gave it up when a new GF complained. I know I’m lucky af for this… but I quit just over a single weekend. Physically it wasn’t a big deal for me. I only miss the social aspect of meeting new random strangers. This was about a decade ago and don’t have any cravings at all.

Booze? I used to binge drink in my 20s, not healthy mentally or physically, but once I hit 30 it felt like my tolerance dissapered and hangovers lasted days. Only on the rarest occasions do I have a single cocktail at a restaurant. Like maybe every 6 months or so.

Do a fair amount of CBD and CBN for pain relief, and around bedtime THC, but all that is edibles.

Transition decades earlier. Or more precisely have the courage, vocabulary and fortitude to stand up to my religious mother and bigoted father. I always knew what I wanted, but they both insisted on doing football and weight lifting, no matter how out of place and unnatural those environments felt to me.

You do you, we’re all entitled to our opinions but super duper hard disagree there.

On characters alone it shows up the originals, Jyn and Andor have much more nuanced reasons to be in the rebellion than than either Han or Leia which leads to stronger story arcs.

Waaaah…

Menace and Jedi sure, absolutely trash. But Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie.

I’m on my phone so I can’t fully crunch the numbers, but I took a few minutes to poke around and I think I found the stats to put both of these in perspective.

https://www.arbor.eco/blog/ai-environmental-impact

Each query sends out roughly 4.32 grams of CO₂e (MLCO2), which may seem trivial on its own but adds up millions of queries a day, and you’re looking at a staggering daily output. 1 million messages sent to ChatGPT is equivalent to 11,001 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle

https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle

The average passenger vehicle emits about 400 grams of CO2 per mile.

So yikes and without a doubt unsustainable energy usage, but comparing this to wikis article on COVID environmental impacts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_on_the_environment?wprov=sfla1

In 2020, carbon dioxide emissions fell by 6.4% or 2.3 billion tonnes globally.

My napkin math says that we would need ~532,407,407 AI queries to match the 2020 work for home drop, but unfortunately, Chat GPT alone is estimating 2.5 billion prompts, daily.

I started writing this assuming the opposite was true but unfortunately AI is a bigger environmental impact than an RTO. Which is honestly shocking. I hope someone corrects my math and tells me it isn’t this dire. Work from should be the norm, but AI is truly just a massive environmental burden.
