That's home. That's us.

If you believe younger generations are worse than yours, it's not because they were born dumb or lazy or disrespectful. It's because your generation failed them and raised them that way.

In The Shawshank Redemption, when Andy Dufresne writes a letter a week requesting funds for the prison library, he finally gets a response saying "here's some money, please stop sending us letters" after six years. He promptly says he'll start sending two letters a week instead of one.

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

Usually! Ramius is a Machinist in character, and that's also my favorite job to play, fortunately. However, I started ARR with him as MNK, and I did switch to maining RDM during Stormblood when MCH was no fun. I reasoned that his mother would have trained him in the gentle art of fencing.

#wolqotd Is your WOL's job the same one you like to play, or do you separate what you play from your character's canon?

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

I'm known for having a vivid imagination. For example, I'm able to close my eyes and imagine myself standing on a beach, with the warm, salty ocean spray misting my cheeks, every time my cat jumps into my lap and immediately sneezes in my face.

Just got back from today's protests in my town. The turnout was so impressive and energy was so positive that a smile replaced my RBF the entire time. The response from passing drivers was also resoundingly supportive. I also was reminded how many people have no idea how to navigate a rotary.

It's getting harder to get excited for patches. I want to look forward to them, but without close friends to do the content with anymore, there just doesn't seem to be much point. On the positive side, I did get a bunch of reading and TV watching done this summer.
