  Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.

  I’m going to turn “wizard” back into an insult. Some smart-aleck tries to act bougie: “fuck off, wizard”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IV⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s suspicious. It could be that it’s not automatic and they’re handwriting it each time. I personally don’t have an email signature set up for the “Regards, Name” bit as I tend to change them based on tone and if I want an end signature at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IV⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree with this comment only because it is building and bolstering the precedent that everyone is using these models all the time and every written thing is generated from an LLM, even when there is no evidence to support it.

  The various grammar errors and random capitalizations push toward “human” and the only support for it being LLMgen’d is the fact that it is poetic.

  Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

  Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

  You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some absurd scare tactic to not allow women to vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you’d get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let’s not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?

  Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What you described as enjoyable isn’t “Skyrim” that’s just the Gamebryo engine. The Companions don’t figure into a physics glitch that rockets you up to kiss the twin moons. Nocturne and the Nightingales aren’t relevant to a horse glued at an 85° angle to a mountain face. You’re just describing mucking around in a less interactive GMod. But people did like the mage who pancaked himself with a jump spell, the woman who is absolutely a necrophiliac, and Glarthir’s deranged quest. Actual components of those games that were done well. We all want them to make the game better so we actually want to experience all the bits that are well done and funny.

  The Elder Scrolls isn’t popular because of the shitty engine. It’s memed because of the engine, but the games are generally fun enough to keep playing through the more benign bugs. And, like shared trauma, we all laugh about the bad bits in hindsight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annon relfects on W doing it for the love of the game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The post is not apologia and not making light of his crimes. The post is saying there was no one who had leverage on him such that they could force him to do all the stupid shit he did. He just invaded a country and kicked off multiple decades of war in the Middle East for no comprehensible reason, like compromat. In the absence of a “mitigating reason” (as much as you can mitigate “war crimes”), it makes his actions look even worse

  I had never heard of W gaining direct financial compensation from going to war. Oiling the US war machine doesn’t directly benefit many politicians; it just hoes the farmbed to ensure a healthy crop of corruption keeps growing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annon relfects on W doing it for the love of the game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they obviously read part of it based on their comment. Either they stopped after the arrows or their reading comprehension is USA-tier. Them and everyone who votes them up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨grrr⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also lining up to take pictures and beg for a turn, if the preponderance of pedophiles in their leadership continues as a trend in the voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's just science⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah…a time traveller would be able to jump forward less backward in time to check that.

  But Stephen Hawking wasn’t a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him. And Stephen Hawking was the one seeking time travellers.

  Hmm, try 5 more pre-toothpicks before the other 12 toothpicks…

  Have you tried becoming hot before applying the toothpick?

  I’ve heard that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the answer. The core of all American-based French slander is badly-remembered WW2 anecdotes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is clearly not the reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t ever watched SNL because that show is better when filtered into secondhand aggregates.

  But Kid Rock is a disgusting creep who only has a platform anymore because the GOP can’t get anyone else with a preexisting fanbase who is stupid enough to openly pitch pedophilia to their voters.

  He should’ve had a rock through the mouth decades ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond fucked up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable [anyone] to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet.

  Is a criminal thing to say about anyone at any age.

  Even saying that about an adult is suspect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, at this point we’re just doing theorycrafting for human monsters, but that concept just doesn’t resonate with me.

  That concept is the “I have any itch I just can’t scratch” type of depraved, where it’s a compulsion. They need just another type of stimulus because they’ve done it all, and they fell into child rape.

  But what I see from them, and the little evidence we’re allowed to hear, shows more of a laidback, nihilistic type of depravity. They have more money than they’ll ever need, but why shouldn’t they get a little more money by suppressing some poor-people’s rights? Why shouldn’t they buy that car, yacht, election, sex slave?

  I imagine they look at Hunter Biden’s vices the same way we look at the Amish: “why are you limiting yourself to that when it’s so easy to get more?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I think they know they’re into the most depraved shit. It was just the now-classic projection: condemnation for sexual affairs. You think they haven’t done crack with adult Latinas before sinking to raping kids?

  They’re not the psychiatric definition of pedophiles, in the sense of mentally-ill people with anti-social paraphilias; they’re depraved monsters who know raping kids is some of the most illicit things they had yet to dabble in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trailer - Hypernet Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the sort of pipedream, hyperspecific indie project I only want to learn about after the dev’s been working on it for 14 years already, and it’s only 6 more years until it finally releases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genigods: Nezha Announced For PS5 And PC With Mythological Dual‑Stance Combat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What the hell kinda complaint is this?

  I don’t even know how you read those terms without immediately reading the explanation of the game terms that followed.

  Quote:

  The [f]luid mystic system draws directly from the Spirit Pearl, letting players temporarily awaken special abilities or enhance weapons with EX effects tied to divine water.

  Another primary mechanic is Relic Fusion, combining mythic artifacts for new skills. Examples include pairing Hou Yi’s Bow with multi-armed abilities for archery techniques, or using the Palm Leaf Fan alongside water-based traps to control enemies.

  I don’t think you can fix stupid. “Stupid” is label of intellectual capacity. And we ain’t Algernon’d anybody for real.

  Thanks for the TL;DR. The title led me to believe the post was going to be clickbait built off a nothingburger and it seems I was right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wokeness ended, check mate leftists ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unironically, that is as consistent with the GOP’s usage of the word as anything else. Because the youths say “6 7” and they refuse to understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wokeness ended, check mate leftists ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Woke” is when they’re mad about how things are or are now not. “Woke” is anything and nothing, which makes it usable for everything.
