Agender computer scientist arguing that they're heterosexual by definition because it's only gay if personA.gender == personB.gender and in any SENSIBLY typed high-level language null == null does not evaluate to true.

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

At the time, Lemoine probably knew more about language transformer technology than anyone alive and it still consumed his sanity. Google fired the engineer but pressed on with the technology. And now it's installed on your computer whether you want it or not.

[Linux] I've been told the best way to install a new desktop environment is simply to install an edition of the relevant distro which has the relevant desktop environment by default. Is that true? If so, do I need to back up all my shit like I would with a complete reformat and reinstall?

The problem? I read the goddamn speech, and the line wasn't in it! Copilot made it up, AS AI IS WONT TO DO. Apparently no one else on the team caught this? They were ready to hand a quiz to students with machine-hallucinated content. Sigh.

Terry Funk's story about the Insane Clown Posse, after they used pirated Japanese wrestling footage from Funk's stint in IWA-Japan for their legendary 'Stranglemania' tapes 🤼

And so the Insane Clown Posse came into the house, and Vicki had some chili cooked up. They sat down and ate a bowl of chili apiece and talked to me. They said they were sorry if I was upset over what they had said on that tape, and we buried the hatchet.
Then Violent Jay said,  "Terry, we want to leave you some money for using that tape of you."
I said, "No, no, don't do that!"
"Yes, Terry, we're going to leave it under this jar, on this counter here!"
I kept telling them not to, but I walked into the next room before them.
They followed me in, and told me they had to go. We said our goodbyes, and the Insane Clown Posse drove off in their bus.
And I walked back into the other room, to get the money I knew they'd left. I have to tell you, I was excited. I was thinking, "Oh boy, I bet they left me twenty bucks, or maybe even forty," which would have just tickled me pink. I thought I'd have enough to pay for the chili, at least, and so I was really happy at the notion of having twenty bucks.
I went in there, lifted up the jar...and there was four thousand dollars there!
And so let me tell you people something right now - I love the Insane Clown Posse! The next retirement match I have, they're going to be in the semi-final! They're the greatest band in the world, and I have all their records. Haven't got around to listening to the yet, but I have them here somewhere.

the written record of antiquity, for reasons I hope are obvious, over represents the blinkered moral perspectives of that day's most powerful people. you should take the care with generalizing from their opinions that you'd want a foreigner to take if a tech CEO was asked about your country's morals

26. As others have pointed out in the past, the fact that trans kids almost always proceed from puberty blockers to oestrogen and testosterone shows only that the current medical regime doesn't give puberty blockers to anyone who it thinks might have any chance of regretting it whatsoever.
