  I definitely associate FTW with ‘for the win’ first. Now I’m heading to wikipedia to read the disambiguation page to see what else it means.

  With all the rhetoric around mail in ballots, I know I would try to get mine in before election day. I was about to finish typing when I realized I’m the type of person to forget to put it in the mail box until election day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the world view America now that the Dems are in control of congress? Or are they waiting for the DIC to be thrown out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your points and I’m also not American. Just prefacing to make clear I’m not arguing, just trying to spread hope. I saw a petition yesterday morning that was already at half a million signatures demanding Jeffries not be made speaker. The speed it grew indicates to me there’s weight behind it. Kinda like posts, comments, and upvotes; there are way more lurkers who are agreeing silently. (I’m not an LLM, I just like semicolons. Even if I’m not always 100% sure I’ve used it correctly).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will the proliferation of AI slop lead to the renaissance of craftsmanship?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it has the potential for allowing more people to pursue artisanry. Ideally we get the LLMs to start tackling the drudgery so more people are freed up to pusue the work they’re passionate about.

  Oof, that was pretty funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinion on Alan Ritchson⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The backlash was because your response is ambiguous, it was likely interpretted by the people criticizing you as a legitimate question rather than your intended sarcasm.

  I’d expect most or nearly all people active in this conversation agree that parasocial relationships are bad but you’re continuing on like their criticism of your communication is an endorsement for celebrity worship.

  A problem with DMCA is that it runs opposite of the rest of the legal system. DMCA takedowns operate on a guilty until proven innocent priniciple. This might be manageable if there were consequences for abusing the takedown system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans complaining that someone is "stealing" their jobs while Procter & Gamble is over here turning them into soap⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What deliberately two faced language this is. The executive sitting in US contributing nothing to the creation of this product technically fulfills the statement that it’s made with American jobs.

  I wouldn’t put it past these companies to put this type of marketing on products 100% from Mexico or any other North or South American country. Gross manipulation of technical correctness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Temu leaking the end of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s Glacier on the US side and Waterton in Canada that are ajacent to each other. There were hiking trails that cross the border when I was there in 2009.
