Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it
Sure, you lefties can win in safe places like New York, but you gotta learn how to play the game like us if you want to survive at a national level. Check this out: *loses twice to the worlds dumbest pedophile*
as someone who was alive in 1986, i can confirm that a lot of things have gotten better. everything used to smell of cigarettes. food quality sucked. lgbt rights sucked. the information ecosystem sucked. the general quality of everything has improved the only difference is access and our wages.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 21h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Hey, devs? I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're making a single player game? Start/Esc should ALWAYS, and IMMEDIATELY pause the game. I don't gaf how "epic" you think your camera is I just spilled something. My cat just puked. The dog got out. My kid fell. Fuck you, PAUSE THE GAME
oh hey, it's off-reference Misato. No, no, don't look at her. Her head is wider than her torso, she's really self-conscious about it.

This is like 90% what the Nazis did with "degenerate art." Except they're wording it as "accountability" and denying student loans (which already restricts who can and cannot achieve higher education)
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

The only *guaranteed* piece of craft advice I can give -- I mean the advice that is universally applicable -- is that if you kill many other writers and eat their scribere gland (roughly the size of a black-eyed pea, so be careful not to damage it) then your prose will improve immensely
"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
Looks like you have a reverse carpetbagger problem here. All that Southern charm just puts the flim-flam on the naive, unworldly New Yorkers, I guess. This is what taxes should be doing. What an embarrassing thing to print.
Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.
