What isn’t psychosomatic when the target is the average fucking moron?
… I mean, besides all the things that turn out to be real… but morons will believe anything up to and including their mumbling jibberish is a connection to God with glossolalia…

It’s the HOA Karens that run politics, so you do the math on how well that’d work out.

Absolutely, I love my trackball, too. As much as I always want a better one, I’m never going back to mice.
- Comment on Callers to Washington state hotline press 2 for Spanish and get AI-generated accented English instead 1 week ago:
Nahh, this seems exactly like something that would happen from advanced text predictors, which is exactly what ALL of these LLM “AI” are. The instructions are in English, no doubt. Of course there is a strong association with English words despite, “in Mexican” surely being somewhere in the “instructions”.
This is just more ELIZA effect in action… Fucking braindead execs/etc failing to understand that it is literally just advanced text prediction that’s fed through a TTS “AI” driven system, that’s surely given just as tenuouse of a connection to Spanish as the text predictor…
(I know your comment seems aware of that fact given the AGI slamming, I just had to vent)

Nahhhhh, that bitch would have you as a milk maid and/or breeding sow before he’d make your life anything worth enjoying.

It’s often actually important to not go too crazy for ‘just’ day to day cardio. So that actually helps normally.
Unless you’re trying to specifically improve cardio, like a runner trying to improve times, mellow cardio is what you want. If you are trying to improve cardio, then definitely mind on the game doing something like intervals!
Absent minded intense cardio is how you get heart attacks.

Yea, it’s a meme. Though sadly a lot of people I run into unironically think the meme is the best solution.
Until knowledge becomes laughably common, I’m going to try to spread what is best. Especially when the better option is way cheaper.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You can really tell the people that still operate on that mindset. “Number must go up” is apparently pretty stupid motivation in most contexts!

Stretch. If you don’t know how, look up yoga routines, and make sure not to force yourself into any positions you cannot easily reach. Until you’re more experienced with pushing against your body’s limits, it’s pretty easy to hurt yourself forcing things.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 week ago:
Nah, OP is just being elitist trying to justify those purchases.
The real answer is posture and lack of streching and exercize. Unless you have an underlying issue like scoliosis, stretching and exercize fix 90% of the aches and pains young people whine about with “getting old” in their 30’s.

That’s the best part about cardio. You can do so many other things while doing it. … OK well, not lots of different things, but once you’re past the hell of getting into a shape, you kindof just zone out into the music/podcast/video/what ever and huffpuff away for a while while entertained.
If you go to a gym, some even have theatre rooms filled with treadmills/etc and a movie playing.

No, that’s schwifty five.

Not that I’ve noticed. It’s a 1060 vs an old Intel integrated, so I’d hope I’d immediately notice a game running like sludge, although I’ve been staying away from truly demanding ones on it.
Only thing that’s annoying is the USB4 dock crashes the laptop if I unplug it, but my limited research on that is pointing at a Wayland bug, something about a display’s frame buffer disappearing.

Use a distro that has automated install of the drivers. MX Linux was just running a provided program (that ran in a terminal but eh) and rebooting, and off I went gaming. I think some of the other gaming-specific distros can also install them for you.

Gotta have a tier 0 for the ace/pan/demi/etc out there. Though agreed people generally assume tier 1. … Although pansexual is probably tier 1, too, otherwise that seems more demi.

Lots of people do. It’s just not the standard for some awful reason.

Alternative? Sure. Though why?
If ethernet works, you’re just using a more expensive option to go with fiber.
Unless you need something unique about fiber, like distance (which can still be dubious for consumer grade hardware), or a non-electrical based signal (dubious requirement in most cases), then you’re just throwing money at being able to say you use fiber.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
Fully agreed with that.
In fact, such regulations really need to go a lot further and make illegal straight up unnecessary subscriptions, too. If something doesn’t need actively maintained things outside of the actual product for it to function, then it doesn’t ’need’ a subscription model.

My point is the LD50 is much lower than 192mg/kg. Even a middleschooler could observe that much…
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
Given all the fun I’ve had over the years with far less powerful systems, it’s not exactly a deathknell to gaming if it turns out that way.
It just better be the deathknell for terrible mobile game microtransaction structures and p2w schemes if mobile devices become the new norm…

Gaming is in a great place. AAA gaming is not, because of-fucking-course corpos don’t understand art.
