They dont seem to understand that if you want to write bad things into a script to be subversive then it has to actually be subversive, otherwise you're just cribbing off of 4chan posts from 10 years ago.

Ichiban sometimes felt like he was just insane in LAD, but having Kiryu walking the same direction makes it clear that no, these guys are just heroes. Not heroes ordained by the divine right of the plot; stopping them from doing the right thing would be like stopping the rain from falling.

Yakuza Infinite Wealth is great because you have Ichiban (idiot with a literally bulletproof heart of gold) and Kiryu (ice cold fighter with an ironclad sense of empathy and justice) and neither of them can ever turn it off. Fighting, ordering coffee, it's just who they are.

That seems recursive because, theoretically, if you wanted to recreate the program but with "American code" then you would write the same code, just on American computers. Which is, yknow, stupid. Object to contents of the code, maybe, but the idea of "national code" is pretty silly.

Imo a lot of it comes from a desire to figure out why you feel bad about yourself all the time. A clinical sounding disease can be soothing. That said, its not great for people who have that condition and understand that you still have to go to work and clean your home even if you have xxxxxx

Frames are basically the first thing as a check, but at least it isn't tied to some delusion of "validity" like it is on twitter.

They won't, because it would seriously undercut the user base growth, but the issue with Twitter isn't that it is buggy and full of ads. It's that it's full of nazis that can make 400 accounts an hour.

Hot take but if they want this site to not be crappy then the should charging a door fee, like SA does.

Isn't this just Twitter premium?

It's hilariously petty how the same is true of BlueSky, leading people to do all kinds of shorthand for links.

It's partially because it's creepy to talk to a computer like that, but there is also the practical layer that having the bot using normal speech is slow. If you send a message you have to wait for it to say "are you ready to send the message" every time.

I bought an Alexa speaker because there are some concerns about my wife's vision and ability to use a phone, and we're trying to get used to it. It is nice to be able to just voice thoughts aloud and have them written down, but I definitely prefer my robots to be robots.

"Hey this is kind of suspect can you send us some lots to compare against" "Sure we can send 15 of them" *blood pooling in my mouth* "great that will give us a good data set! Thank you so much!"

Another exciting day in the sciences where I had a questionable batch of a raw material and now I'm making 15 copies of the same 4+ hour batch across two weeks to screen differences in lots.

Reddit is famous for this and sometimes Twitter, and it just gets confusing when someone replies to you and then immediately blocks, which makes it seem like the website just cracked for one particular post.

I know why they do it but my favorite kind of social media corporatism is when the block function doesn't say that you're blocked, it just pretends that you are having network issues and can't connect. "Sorry I'm going through a tunnel" *mouth static noises*

I teach a class on data science here at Illinois and during the seminar I host a competition for the class called "The Hunt for the Worst Data Visualization." This was my most popular post on Xitter, so reproducing some of the best submissions from previous years here:

They could instead go the other direction and say "yeah queer kids rock blow it out your ass" and be just fine, since people respond to emotion more than substance, but they are not going to because they dont want to risk anything. Better to play it safe and still lose.

I've always said that minority rights are largely a popularity contest and given the recent "we must become more hateful to win votes" rhetoric from the dems I have been regrettably proven right again.
