mechadon (img 1) was a 476lb robot that used its giant spider legs to pin/flip opponents. it went 2-2; one of its victories was because its opponent immediately broke down la machine (img 2) had nothing but a wedge, and went 18-3. universally considered one of the greatest combat robots of all time

(running out of things to force nostalgia onto) remember that you missed out on the petercopter in fornite and there's no going back
Baffling that anyone would waste a single second consuming AI slop when the world is full of natural wonder and beauty accompanied by humans doing absolutely amazing shit just for the hell of it.
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · 6d agoBro. People are cool as fuck.
had a dream where the new meta in robot combat was transferring the opponent drivers’ consciousness into a burlap sack, wherein you’d feed them psychedelics and make them solve math equations until they forfeited the match
people will say “oh old internet horror is so much better than the slop we get nowadays” when the average piece of old internet horror is just “what if a mexican was red”
The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
Hook and Squeeze
How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

![From Wikipedia:
The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a heuristic in systems thinking coined by the British management consultant Stafford Beer,[1] who stated that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do".[2] It is used in systems theory, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can or should be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behaviour is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behaviour with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xa4eltdd2z3scndtv4yvb65p/bafkreiem4i55e3gqp6endhcbz2voh2vgqd4y5xdo7bd5qgkrvnz745riby)
