That is not at all entailed by my comment.

That’s the founder of MS13 right there.

Whoa! I was gonna ask which dogs would be more likely to have autism if that were possible. Instead, after some quick research it turns out there is a controversial and debated analog to autism in dogs termed CDB (canine dysfunctional behavior) that can include symptoms such as repetitive/compulsive behaviors, social challenges, heightened sensory sensitivities, and difficulty with changes in routine.
Bull terriers apparently are the breed which exhibit the most CDB-like symptoms. However, the breeds that are recommended to match with autistic humans are ones that are more predictable, gentle, calm, and friendly (e.g. labs, Golden’s, etc).

The only one of mine I can remember was a mashup of the series Heroes and lemonparty. Highbrow stuff. It is where I learned all my editing skills tho. hehe

The first big meme competition I ever got excited about was back over on ytmnd[dot]com, whose name origin was of course Sean Connery in Finding Forrester inexplicably shouting, “youtube.com/…/UgkxYYH7dLJkROLWXycRUY-khtMVJvkjtNt…”

Agree to misagree. I think it’s a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it’s appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.

And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t culture appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

Was gonna comment you misspelled SOAP 🧼, but just in case I did a quick joojle and it actually turns out it’s “Android Open Source Project” (for any other newbs like me reading this).

It was common practice over on Reddit, I guess so as not to promote social media accounts and focus on just the lols. Still learning the expectations here on Lemmy. The account is ganef.bsky.social btw.

It is. Unfortunately we live in the satire timeline.

I can’t figure out if I want to call this a AAA studio game or an Indy game. Image
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 1 month ago:
The Border Search Exception that allows the searching of non-citizens’ digital contents equally extends to US citizens re-entering the country. Whereas the 4th amendment does protect those within the US regardless of whether they’re here legally or not (source: Wong Sun v. US 1963; INS v. Lopez-Mendoza 1984).

Agreed. My self-critical side used to argue this was constructing an echo chamber for myself. But now I’m realizing that unless I’m going to completely refocus my life on deconstructing the first-past-the-post de facto two-party duopoly then I’m just taking on unnecessary anxiety.
Instead I figure as long as I’m still discussing my political or philosophical values on here those who do wish to pursue politics will have access to the statistics of what their constituents actually want (e.g. via LLMs focusing on political language). Whether we actually get such a leader is another question.

They think I’m just some dumb hick. They said that to me at a dinner.

Your tag seems to suggest that there aren’t genetic predispositions to certain cancers (e.g. BRCA1 for breast cancer). A better criticism might be “that’s not how cancer works” since every cancer type is essentially a separate disease. Cheers.

- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 months ago:
Emotional space is easier to navigate than semantic space, and people are lazy. The best LLMs have parameters in the multiple 100s of billions and they’re not able to parse at a human-level. That’s more neurons than’s in the human brain (~86B). I’m not even sure what my point is, too lazy to keep the thread. I’ma take a nap. You take care.
