  I’m getting the same vibes as when I spike taxes in Sim City for Palm OS just before the year rolls over and then drop it back after.

  As someone living in a red state, every city here is referred to as a “blue city”, whether people are moving to it or not. State color has shit all to do with it and tends to be how much did we make the assumption land votes.

  I could just remap in the emulator too, just hadn’t felt up to such.

  That’s how you can tell if someone is into latex (kink), they don’t feel comfortable calling LaTeX (tech) by the same pronunciation around people.

  A local friend has the casein allergy. It sucks, cause there’s a lot of baked goods and food in general she can’t have. I struggle sometimes in baking becaus even butter contains it, and plant butters never quite perfectly match with real butter.

  At least plant-based heavy cream works well enough. Lacks the dairy taste but it still works and whips nicely even in a cream whipper.

  I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.

  Open-source training texts intended for pairing with your intended style of output have been around for far longer than OpenAI has been grifting data from the entire Internet and collected book works. It came across like that’s what they’re using, not some shit off HuffingFarce that was built off of AO3 and Harry Potter.

  This is the reality of what sapir-whorf was guessing at. The way it’s defined is incorrect IIRC, but the real heart of it I think stemmed from this kind of reality of distinction.

  The fact people think it’s normal and don’t realize it’s not, especially once they get older simply being unwilling to think otherwise…yeah.
