AI primarily shows how important telling everyone they're doing a good job is.

All the people who are anti-Chadley or want to mute Chadley, I have one question: If Chadley disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through Final Fantasy VII without him or the Chadley menu? Imagine Chadley was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give him up?
No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender
I watched a video about cat and dog DNA changes to be domesticated. Wolve's DNA changes in a bunch of different ways. Cat's DNA had ONE change. The fear response to humans was turned down. That's it. Otherwise their DNA matches wild cats. Cats are basically wild animals that tolerate you.
to imagine how impossible the idea of singularity is, to train a model to make a video game they'd need another model that can judge like 100 attempts and score how "good" a game creation attempt is better than a human can. they think they're doing this for all fields by like next year. lol man
For millennia migration was just a standard thing for humans.
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 2d ago“Here’s a radical thought: what if migration is only a problem to those who want it to be? What if we started seeing the mass movement of people less as an existential threat and more as a simple inevitability of human existence?”
He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
Watched The Lost City of Z, about English explorer Percy Fawcett. He was correct about an ancient civilization in the Amazon but died and needlessly took his son with him to prove it. He's fun, but the movie should focus on Henry Costin, his partner who did every cool thing Fawcett did except die.
Dark Heresy is really good. So far it isn't as funny as Rogue Trader, but I streamed for 3 hours and there were no battles, just intrigue and investigation. For an Owlcat game that is unprecedented, in RT you have to slog through 6 identical nurgling encounters every time you go anywhere.
Given the way Magic is going, I was fully willing to believe this was one of their latest offerings.

Opinion | Why American Jews will once again favor Democrats this fall
The vast majority of Democratic candidates in this year's midterm elections share the values and concerns of American Jews, much more than extremist Republicans aligned with Trump

Awful premonition just struck me: Kalshi is going to start offering health products and services with the tagline "beat the odds".
Something I have learned in my run up to launching my Patreon. Folks who edit videos aren't getting paid enough. Whatever they are getting paid, it should be more. They should have parades, free cake, and whatever consenting kink they have fully satisfied forever.
I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
yes because she wanted you to not assault her again you fucking idiot

It's sad but it is easy to understand why people that are into retrogames and love to talk about how games used to be better in the past, are coopted into fascism, an ideology that also loves to talk about how things were better in the past
