  • I mean, definitely some anger issues. But normally when they’re kids, the anger issues (MOST of the time) come from the parents’ parenting.

    Like unless you’re chemically imbalanced (normally runs in the family, so people should know if they carry it, or have some other existing condition, that level of anger is a Nurture and not a Nature.

    My dad sent me out for headlight fluid and VW-20 elbow grease if you can’t tell.



  • I just started diving into the space from a localized point yesterday. And I can say that there are definitely problems with garbage spewing, but some of these models are getting really really good at really specific things.

    A biomedical model I saw seemed lauded for it’s consistency in pulling relevant data from medical notes for the sake of patient care instructions, important risk factors, fall risk level etc.

    So although I agree they’re still giving well phrased garbage for big general cases (and GPT4 seems to be much more ‘savvy’), the specific use cases are getting much better and I’m stoked to see how that continues.


  • I agree in that it doesn’t need to be required, but I think you’re leaving money on the table and intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world.

    You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option and maybe some extra visual cues, but games that go farther and allow more people to enjoy their product are better products for it.

    Souls games are great. I don’t want to ‘get gud’ so I haven’t bought one ever, and with no difficulty drop I probably never will. I don’t have time for that. It’s not a bad game because they don’t have features to make it more accessible to me, but it COULD be a better game if they did.





  • Thats the thing, comedy hasn’t stopped. Regular people aren’t offended if you make a funny joke about a sensitive topic.

    Rob McElhenney from It’s always sunny was just talking about this the other day. They make racist jokes, gay jokes, jokes about abortion, mocking the homeless. There’s a WHOLE episode done a la The Whiz where the gang wakes up in black people’s bodies. You just have to be sure that the joke is told in a way that doesn’t lift it’s message above being just a joke, and that means the person telling it has to be relatively clear on the side of the joke’s subject. You can’t punch down, that’s never been funny.

    South Park and it’s always sunny and family guy and those kinds of shows haven’t neutered their jokes, so why do people keep saying that you can’t make fun of anything anymore? The only people I see that say that are parroting comedians like Seinfeld and Chapelle and THEY’RE STILL SELLING TICKETS, so they’re not ‘canceled’ and their livelihoods aren’t affected, so why are they saying they can’t make the jokes they continue to sell tickets for?



  • I do think there’s a nuance to “I voted for this guy, I don’t really want him but it’s the best option on the list” And “I like this guy, I liked what he did, I’d like to see him do it again”

    I hear (in real life), absolutely 0 Biden supporters like example #2. I hear (in real life) about 10 trump supporters like #2. Of the people I ask who are Republicans that don’t fall into #2, they instead say something along the lines of “I don’t like abortion and I don’t think democrats are protecting my rights”. Of the Republicans I’ve met that I talk to on a semi regular basis, those people make up maybe 20% of all interactions I have. The rest…well, MAGA


  • I worry about that now, a lot. I’m not far into my 30s, and I never thought I’d reach 25, but I’m terrified of the pain that’d come if my husband died. He’s such a big baby, if I passed he’d have such a terrible time and hed be so sad and lost. But if he passed, could I stick around long enough to see the packages he (always) has coming, knowing some of them are sweet gifts to me? Damn onions indeed.
