I will never forgive the smartphone for ruining prank calls forever. kids today will never know the joy of asking a random stranger if their refrigerator is running! And we just let it happen too! Shameful!

Ok, wow did I piss off the algo this time! It's been days now since I've heard from anyone. I deleted all my posts for the last few days as appeasement. I just wanted to build a modest online presence to talk sci-fi with fellow nerds! Why is this hard?

I'll take the pink weak link any day over being told what I can't do with my home. Their taste doesn't affect me in the slightest. HOAs are pure evil with no exceptions, excuses, or redemptions. I'd live under a bridge before paying someone to be my unmitigated overlord.

I wanted one so badly! It had elevators that worked and everything! Such a tragedy.

I've often wondered if it wouldn't be easier to just use the DC to run a motor that turns a stator and generates native AC. Boom, real sine wave!

This is a teleological fallacy wrapped in a category error and deep-fried in totalitarian logic. He claims suffering is bad, then argues that cultures he disagrees with should be eradicated. By his own reasoning, suffering suddenly becomes acceptable when imposed on dissenters.

I’d like to introduce you to the idea of "epistemically objective." Just because something doesn’t exist without humans, like money or other social constructs, doesn’t mean it can’t be objectively true.

Yeah? And how did it work out for them back then?

That wasn't created by AI. It was stolen by AI.

Every word here is gold.

Don't do it. The texture of the cast iron is necessary. It gives the patina something to stick to. The polymerized cooking oils will still blacken it with use, but the patina will flake off easily and leave you with an unprotected iron surface.

I would have quit neuropsych in the first semester if my professor had asked me to measure sadness units in undergrads for 18 hours a day. I can't imagine anything on Earth more arbitrary. Not an EEG, venous puncture lab draw, or fMRI in sight, I bet.

Peak cinema!

I am completely sick of AI descriptions. The now ubiquitous, "it isn't just X, it's Y" needs to stop. The escalatory reframe, or it's backwards cusin the antithetical reframe, is now just the AI version of saying, "like totally" or "um, actually".

Behold, the escape goat.
