You can be a nerd about anything. A language nerd who speaks 20 languages and studies ancient Akkadian for fun won’t know what those are.
I mean I am a nerd, but I haven’t much of a clue about trees and plant life.

Nope. Last I checked around yesterday he’s still around. He is 80. Old but not impossibly old.

And it was. It wasn’t noticed much when it first came out, but some decades later it blew up when people realised how cool it was.

Ahh that’s the one. For some reason I thought it was from the 1880s…
- Comment on Two types 2 weeks ago:
Wasn’t there a novel written in the 1880s that did not include the letter E? The most commonly used letter in the English language. The story in the novel was unremarkable save for the fact that… yeah, there are no Es.

This reminds me of when a large whiskey distillery broke in 19th century Ireland and many people died. Not from large quantities of alcohol sweeping people away (something like that happened in London in the early 19th century) but from passerby drinking so much of the stuff they died of alcohol poisoning.
Most Irish way to die ever!

Autistic dogs? You mean they will be more obsessed with catching that squirrel than normal?

Look, the mechanical Turk was a good chess player at least… and his operator had to literally hide beneath the table…

Reminds me of the scene from Robocop 2 when they are introducing new robocop models and one literally rips his helmet off and his skull just screams. As a kid I found it both funny and scary at the same time.

Fun fact, vibrators were invented as a ‘medical’ tool to aid women.

I once liked the idea of being part of some new age, neo pagan group and mindset and being ‘outside the mainstream’ but the more time passes the more I regress into a hole of solititude that no one can breach.
Even last summer I wanted to see if I could finally go out and find a girlfriend… now I am seriously going back in my hole.
- Comment on Holy Fu*k 3 weeks ago:
The internet is self-censoring to the point of being incredibly stupid. Many youtubers cannot say simple shit like dead or killed or sexually assaulted/raped or suicide, instead opting for euphemisms like unalive/unalive oneself and saying acronyms like SAed.
Even as a child I knew what rape and murder were. Terrible things yes, but they weren’t things that I couldn’t comprehending or was so terrified of that it would make me have a panic attack.
It is like that time in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon (one of the latter seasosn I believe) where they stopped referring to the ghosts as ghosts but as monsters due to the fear that children would be sacred of the idea of a dead person’s spirit coming to haunt the living… I mean even as a kid I knew what a ghost was (they aren’t real, but I understood the concept).

To be fair it is still the easiest way to do it. If you have a fuel source that could last basically forever and a closed circuit where you can reuse the same water infinitely as well, why not?
- Comment on We've done it, boys 4 weeks ago:
I still can’t believe that the united states had multiple lunar landing missions and several people set foot on the moon… and now the US military and civilian space agencies are reliant on a company run by a Nazi manchild and that cannot send spaceships and satellites beyond low earth orbit…

Stephen Miller? Yeah he is actually one of the more evil of the bunch. Most are grifters and dont believe in anything, but Miller is a true believer. He really does believe in all that white supremacy shit and will turn the US into a minor nation if it means making it ‘all white’.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 4 weeks ago:
If Sweeney can read this, I just want to tell him something. As someone who made games with ZZT as a kid and thought it was the best thing ever, you need to understand that no AI could make something like that, even if as a kid using copied and ‘inspired’ code from other games (and learned how to hexedit out the protections from other ZZT worlds so I can see how they worked) the cycle of just working through a rudimentary coding language was the reward in and of it self even if I never did finish the game I had in mind.
BTW, that game just involved an adventurer in a kingdom that is being troubled by… Hitler’s ghost, and your objective was to send his ass back to hell. I found a boss fight in another ZZT world that I thought was too cool not to reuse for that purpose, too. But sadly it was never finished.
That being said, we DO need ‘AI generated’ or ‘AI assisted’ as a tag. There isn’t anything weird or wrong with that. In online art spaces like deviant art you can tag stuff as ‘traditional’ art (meaning done on paper/canvas with whatever media you used, like pencils, various paints, etc) or digital or a combination thereof, like a hand drawn sketch that was completed and colored with photoshop. Why the fuck would anyone be against telling people what tools were used?
