  People have been saying that but me and my over-ripe butthole enjoy the pain of a thousand wipes.

  HUH?!! WHATS THAT? I CANT HEAR YOU OUT OF THE BLOOD IN MY EARS.

  Working better than intended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW shitpost/meme community when?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some instances, like the one I’m on, are defederated from the purely NSFW ones.

  My left nut is more useful and it’s gone on account of giving me cancer.

  These stargazers have a little more than just wanderlust huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a degree of subjectivity to it, but at some point you pass a threshold where it should become obvious to most people. When I was in college, a CS degree was the one degree everyone knew would land you a well paying job right from graduation. It had been like that before I got there, and it was like that after I left. That isn’t the case anymore, and you can’t blame it all on AI.

  This is a good video that shows how the industry has been changing.

  The tech sector had been over hiring for a decade. The cutbacks were inevitable in any course. Whats funny about it is that by using AI as a standover they are enshittifying their product faster and costing themselves more in the process than if they had just started firing people.

  I really enjoy being able to browse by new and the feed isnt just a bunch of junk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wonder why?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they will carry on the world hegemon tradition of being generally contemptible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally shitposting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dont mushrooms farmers use it as substrate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possibility of translating the messages of dogs, cats, and other pets⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly if you cant understand your dog yourself, an app probably wont help. They don’t talk but they are excellent communicators if you understand how to listen to them. This is especially true for dogs and cats but all animals have body language. Birds are special because they have very specific calls per species that you can learn to recognize, but they are so consistent that apps work too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of writing is that im engaging internally with the process. Words are just words if Im not writing or reading them, completely vapid and inane. Anybody with half a brain who reads can tell writing from output. It has no soul because none was lent it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a flock of birds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Horny posting on main all day so we can keep tabs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re looking in my windows, that’s on them man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how things become science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the logical conclusion would be then that people who train LLMs should be responsible for curating the data, not expecting that the data will just be sound. People have been lying on the internet since it was invented, the advent of LLMs isn’t suddenly going to create an internet that doesn’t occur in.

  Unless you live near a pole in which case this is just half the year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda has no plans to slow down on paid mods, Todd Howard says he wants to get Creations 'in front of more people'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gamers wont even get off Windows because they wanna keep playing fortnight. By far the least scrupulous set of consumers on earth, ready and willing to sling hash for slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions - Daniel Owen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, turning up the gamma (essentially) on certain aspects of the background seems like an actual accessibility use case. There are probably far more direct ways of doing it that don’t interfere with artistic intent as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its the kind of game who’s value can be gotten out of a youtube video. It was hardly the first game of that subgenre either, Gone Home comes to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes (since i still go on there for porn) Ill switch to all and within the first three posts I see some kind of cringe which just does not exist here and reminds me just how much better this place is, atleast for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true but the business model is built around the quick fill up. Incentives will change when people have to spend an hour at their stop. Also a majority of people will not be driving far enough from their house to need it. I think convenience stores will stick around except the ones that operate off highways. Those ones will have to change into what high way rest stops are. It would also be possible just to install chargers at existing rest stops.

  Being a lamb probably itches.

  These guys will breadcrumb you right back into fascism and tell you its your fault the whole time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys the dems care about us! Not voting for Gavin Newsom proves you’re morally bankrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You must tell me, please!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite having to be a sociopath to hoard that much money, even here on this website people will still defend some billionaires because a few of their aims happen to align.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goldenrod⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I put a bunch of goldenrod seed down in the fall so it could overwinter. Next year will be the first my yard has it and im excited to see what it brings around. With that and the milkweed and all the other seeds I’ve thrown about, it should be quite a show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨finally⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not like you can’t tell though, sound seems to be one of the things its worst at and everybody is used to highly produced and clean sounding music.

  Pile #1 band in the universe, baby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite band has a song about him called “The Soft Hands Of Stephen Miller,” came out 7 years ago and its pretty funny.
