They like to make a show like everyone on Earth is just like they are so how dare we exist differently but it’s clearly just them being hateful. Idunno how bigots manage to still think they’re clever and totally not insecure whilst making self-contradictory statements and raging over nonsense and trivia for hours at a time, often in spaces where they’re not even welcome.

After more than thirty hours and hours of discussions with a friend who knows Pathfinder and stuff, I’ve finally beaten the first boss of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!

My character finally created, I got through the intro cutscene thingle, threw a dart, saved, and am in bed waiting to become asleep 🤣

(The joke is that the character creation is so interesting, involved, and/or difficult that it counts as a boss fight just choosing a character class to start with 😅 Also yes it did actually according to Steam take me nearly forty hours to defeat said boss 😅)

Glory! Glory! Glory to the eggroll!! \ö/

🤔

Well, that’s kinda sad.

Sign of federated-not-Reddit-thingle carking it? Maybe. Sign that it’s about time for myself to give up and leave? Maybe.

I blame everyone. Boo, us! scowls scoldingly at all, including itself

Terminology, with the Nyan Cat cursor! ^. :3

Buying it now probably doesn’t come with the legendary 600% buyer’s remorse booster.

[Joke] Ugh, probably have to buy it as a microtransaction or whatever DLC crap. I hate when they take stuff out and try to sell it!

Puzzle books? I like to play with variety puzzle books, commonly sold near magazines :3 Crosswords (and varieties thereof), word searches (+varieties), crypto puzzles of various sorts, number puzzles of various sorts, the funky neat ones where some of the words share some letters (like, a letter fills a vertical region to be shared by one or more words), uhhh… oh also I like to write the solutions in Thorass :D https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Thorass_alphabet Though the numerals are garbage. D’ni numerals are far, far better 👍

Also, I daydream for hours at a time. … But probably you don’t or else you wouldn’t be asking for ideas I guess 😅

I like the way you think! Please tell me you run a commagazine with more wonderful tips and tricks like this :D

🤮

America Also Bad!

Seems like they usually leave out the “also” because apparently two things can’t be bad at the same time. Wouldn’t it be great to live in a world where only one thing is bad? I expect it’d be simpler, at least.

Why do people on this community sem to assume that just because I don’t like the way that something works that I don’t know how to do anything? It’s quite condescending.

Probably because many of us have seen really snide “This is why nobody uses your stupid shitty OS!!” posts/comments so much that “Here’s why people don’t use Linux” for 2435808th time this month just sounds like another condescending prick come to tell us how stupid we are for using “bad” software that doesn’t work like they expect it to. I see that you seem more reasonable than that but I’ve also seen others around here with really crappy attitudes and ideas who’ve maybe stirred up a bit of a defensive mood that your phrasing stepped on.

…Now I’ve got to go before I also go off on a rant. Here is a virtual pancakes: 🫴🥞

Right? “Vast wealth built on various forms of harm is good actually because sometimes rich people fund neat things that I like!” Yeah sure, tell that to somebody who just lost their house to one of the many climate-related disasters lately.

I’m actually disgusted that “But look, a shiny! The rich are good actually! Some stupid ‘environment’ isn’t shiny cool like a videogame!” has over fifty upvotes to my one downvote. I can’t even scrape together enough sarcasm at the moment to bite at them with. Just… gross. Depressing. Ugh.

I always feel kinda foolish when people talk about drugs. Like, here I am, no idea people added guacamole to heroin let alone that it cost extra.

(…Ba-dum tssh! Is joke :3 The last part is, anyway.)

Gross, gross, grrooossssss!

Anything of value that she mentioned is already covered by other sources

Sorry, did you say “their pace is too fast” or “their pace is too grab ass?” I’m having a bit of a hard time coping with excessive amounts of “chill” around this situation so maybe I misread.

I get that abuse of employees and sexism and sexual harassment and assault toward women in particular are normal but can we not accept this shit as normal? … I write, slowly coming to the realization that clearly most people don’t want to care, don’t see a difference between something that’s dramatic and something that’s “just drama,” can’t bear to let some poor rich boy take any kind of heat, he’s such a nice guy, c’mon bro, just chill, he said he’ll do better, look, he does charity don’t you like charity and 🤮Fuck it, I’m out of here.

What a bunch of pricks.

I hesitate to blame them all. In GN’s video, some of the clips show LMG people seeming (to me? Somehow I don’t see anyone else pointing this out???) anxious to terrified of Linus. In one of the WAN Show clips there’s this meek, near-mumbled kind of “Uhm… Linus sir maybe if you’d, um… just tested it properly that could’ve been maybe better I guess? <.< v.v;” sort of thing, and the person who grabbed the wrong card barely squeaked out a response at all, but Linus just never seems to give a damn about anything except making the quickest possible bucks.

I don’t know what’s keeping everyone else there but I think at least some of those people are just trying to get by without incurring some kind of wrath as Linus himself repeatedly makes (or causes) a mess then arrogantly doubles, triples, quadruples down on it (or has someone else do so, or maybe other arrogant pricks are involved?) up to a point of “Okay, I messed up and I’ll own that now everyone forget about it” after which business-as-usual resumes until the next mess. It seems like no one else has time to learn from any mistakes (or “mistakes”) and those who do (presumably a hierarchy-related privilege) are unwilling or incapable.

Now, they may in fact be a bunch of pricks. I just feel like some of those people (such as the one suggesting that testing the water block correctly might made sense (before potentially killing a startup unfairly)) try to help but have no power to inhibit Linus’s pompous profit-driven pissheadery.

(Referring to other replies, sarcastically) I friggin’ love having people explain how it’s totally cool to do to people all’ the things they (or people like them, in relevant contexts) say not to! Like when five freaking people people show up, none citing so much as a blog post or having met a trans person once, explaining that it’s totally cool to deadname someone as long as it doesn’t bother the person doing the deadnaming.

I’m just a little tired of this “it’s fine and you’re the real problem for whining about it” (not quoting anyone currently present… I think) kind of attitude. Maybe I’d be singing a different tune if my convenience got to override everyone else’s comfort and even wellbeing.

Edit: At least I don’t feel so compelled to join Beehaw any more. Certainly not the uniformly careful bunch I’d, unreasonably I suppose, imagined. Silver linings!

Very weird. I keep doing things and not being quite sure who’s doing them. Having trouble not feeling super alone and isolated but also having trouble feeling like I’m me so it’s kinda better in a weird way? Very strange. … Kinda just wanted to tell somecritter about that, I guess 🤷‍♀

I hope it’s okay if I pretend to bee a beehawer for a sec <.< I figure I kinda am in spirit, so maybe it’s okay? Though lately Idunno if I’m me so who knows. wobbles awkwardly

Okay, see, that smells smarter than “we’re gonna cram the entire Internet into a box full of neurons and shove a shitload of compute through it.” It is, therefore, more interesting. Maybe I’ll have a deeper peek into it… In a few years when it’s not associated with any hype 😅 Here, have some of my pizza 🫴🍕

I generally agree but struggle to see where there’s any proper “general-purpose AI” involved. The current “AI” seems to be a crop of, simply put, overgrown chat bots. They make things that kinda-sorta look like other things that humans have already made and are getting a lot of attention for getting things very wrong. Hands, mouths, maths, laws, wrong wrong wrong.

From my perspective (as someone who loves novel tech, was thrilled to take a uni course on evolutionary computation, had PopSci, SciAm, Discover (tech magazines), etc.) people are blowing the hell up praising glorified chat bots as our lord and saviour and it baffles me endlessly. Like… I was evolving solutions to notoriously hard problems as an undergrad roughly a decade ago. The power of evolution itself! Wow, right? No, no one cares any more. Interesting is interesting but the hype train’s decided these I’m not going to stop calling them chat bots because that’s what they are represent a miracle of advanced, movie-style AGI. Unless my understanding of how it works is way off, it’s not really even a good starting point for AGI. I’d even go so far as to say it’s less technically interesting to me than Sierra’s AGI, but then I do have a deep, burning hatred of memes and excessive, blind popularity/hype and a bit of a taste for old tech so part of that’s just me. As for “utopia vs. Skynet” stuff… sigh. No technology is gonna do more to heal or harm humanity than this batch of buttholes is already doing to itself and ELIZA here isn’t going to change that.

tl;dr: The current cultural idea of “AI” is (as always) a damn meme based on chat bots and exploitation, and not a miracle. Wake me when AI is capable of some interesting new kind of NLP or can create something entirely new or something beyond impressing fools (because I actually do like neat tech). Also yes, any big, moneyful/profitable tech-thing is 100% gonna serve money over all else because everything in this capitalist hell-world does. rant rant rant! … dozes off
