Flaky or crumbly?
I used the limited information gleaned from a narrow window of experiencing his statements on trans people to determine that Gladwell is a dipshit, and was correct on the matter.
Hi where do I sign up for the writing a rock opera shitting on your enemies job? I have a band, I'll split the money with them. Seeing as most of the band members I know through left-wing activism, we probably have common cause on the enemies front, too.
Mosquito with a bendy proboscis that can't feed. This is a common phenomenon when mosquitoes get older.
at least 20 hours is about right then, yeah... 40 would be far from unheard of for act 3.
basically thinks they deserve it anyway. It wouldn't even be a difficult fix, just start saying 'right, if you want people to do more then 30 minutes of work to apply for your job, you need to start paying them'.
The state of applying for work in an industry that is even remotely competitive when you don't have any contacts is staggeringly bleak and despairing. It should be a huge issue, but in this neoliberal age no one is in the category of the 'unmerited' more then the unemployed, so anyone with power
Even though he's not even fucking running for anything! It's not enough to merely hold your nose and vote for these people, they need your worship too!

Only metaphorically.
I'm made of flesh but if you punch me I take damage! Things can damage something else of the same type all the time!
Hey Firefox users.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
It's hard to imagine Donald Trump, upon hearing of rumours of his death, not immediately bragging about it if he was able.
There's the whole weird comments from Vance about being ready to take up leadership, but hardly a slam dunk. The thing that's got me hoping is that despite the fact these rumours have been all over social media (it's big on Twitter apparently too) there's been nothing from the administration.
Time to break out one of my faves... youtu.be/kSQ8tZ35t4U?...
This is it for me. Different world leader, but the lyrics carry over. youtu.be/TzMI_gXQllo?...
Got a song or something queued up? Just in case?
Uhh, I knew that! I'm a good attentive person who doesn't assume people are all American. I was just using 'you' to mean like, a vague everyone else. Swearsies.
There's a huge left-wing protest here in Australia tomorrow to counter-protest some fascists. If it happens in middle of that, you will hear the sound from America. It'll make Krakatoa look like a whisper. Really can't stress how many people around the world are waiting for The Day.
It's a combination of this, JD Vance making some comments about being ready to take over the job, and those big bruises on the back of his hand. Like I'm not saying it's true but a lot of people are holding out hope.
I'm so sorry :(
as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER
Every time I see another article, post, or just whatever decrying the poor, hard done by modern conservative I think of every story I've ever heard from a queer friend raised by a right-winger. I don't know how my trans friend whose brother is an officer in FedSoc does it.
youtu.be/jhBCiEEMkrc?... Got this ready to go, just in case!
I mean this makes about as many of the other groups people have blamed for Trump's second term so I'd buy it!
He apparently really likes the term "neo-prog" which to me I can only read as a musical genre. Oh hey, apparently it is. Very funny to think of prog rock bands from the 80s and 90s as costing Harris the election.
His pinned post. Really trying to prove Tripper right there though isn't he?
I... think they are trolling? Honestly that whole thread is just balls to the wall insane.
Just incredible that Torres' solution to the problems associated with implying his Jewish interlocutor is antisemitic was just to do it anyway. I was half expecting him to refer to Adam as a "self-hating Jew" explicitly.
I definitely believe that people are far more unwilling to state their appreciation for art then their distaste. Expressing disapproval of something just means it wasn't for you, even if it was popular, but stating that you love something says something about you. It's just way more vulnerable.
Ruin a book by adding "Tom Clancy's" to the title: Eating Tom Clancy's Animals
It's also just not even addressing the fundamental point. People invoke crimes committed by the CIA and FBI to make a statement about the integrity, political motivations and guilt of those agencies. It's like responding to "Hey, didn't you shoot those kids?" with "It's okay, now I'm in handcuffs!"
It just raises questions, you know? What was novel enough about Tom Clancy learning to speak for the first time that it warranted a textbook?
I looked through our bookshelf to see what I thought was the funniest option. In the end I picked a linguistics textbook. "Tom Clancy's First Language Acquisition"
Just go for it.
Is it too easy to just do a Chuck Tingle?
If we're editing it a bit, I'd submit "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against Tom Clancy"
He's in act 3 now so possibly soon, possibly in 40 hours?
I play two songs from this as solo acoustic guitar arrangements pretty much every day! I wasn't expecting you to place it first! Not that I even disagree but I'm just so used to seeing Spirited Away, Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle topping these lists so it's cool to see Nausicaa get some love :D
The most memorable part of Princess Kaguya for me is the fact that there is an upload of the music played by the procession of celestial beings on youtube simply titled "Moon Asshole Music" www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1dT...
Is her point really that ambiguous? Anyway, I'd argue that someone willing to throw a section of the citizenry under the bus, several sections in fact, is definitionally not fighting for democracy. If a candidate doesn't believe in equality under the law then how can they effectively fight fascism?
There wasn't even a second between the hounds being released and them shoving minorities to the ground so they could get a head start. They aren't even apologetic, they even took a moment afterwards to scold people for being ungrateful for them making the 'hard decision' to sacrifice someone else.
The absolute depths of just complete awfulness the center is reaching right now is truly staggering. A fascist authoritarian in power has, instead of driving them to shore up an alliance with the left, allowed them to indulge in all their worst impulses by giving them a stick to beat the left with.
"Vote for the liberal though he harms you because the conservative might harm me, too" Should just make that quote my bio at this point it's been relevant so often recently.
Lol, he blocked me. No courage in his convictions the second he's asked if his little hypothetical might hurt him, personally.
This isn't a straw man, this is the exact same thing you're demanding of other people.
Hey, answer me a little hypothetical first. If Gavin Newsom ran on the policy of persecuting you and your family, personally, would you still support him?
Sweet when do I get to start raking in those big... what is Rogan's grift? what product is he selling? I feel like it's usually supplements. Yeah, give me those big supplement bucks.
So I think that means you both have half an opinion on Field Marshall Friedrich Paulus. My hypothesis stands.
Do they have highly developed opinions on Field Marshall Friedrich Paulus?
Feels like I could go far in life by just following around a random Dem strategist and doing literally the opposite of everything they do. Possibly the most incorrect group of humans to ever exist. Not the worst, though bad, not the stupidest, though still dumb, just the most wrong.
I have been in a relationship for 11 years, but I have no opinions on the military strategy of Field Marshall Friedrich Paulus. My partner however read Beevor's 'Berlin' when she was 17 and does have opinions on him, so I think the key is that every relationship needs to have one Paulus knower.
The fact that every dad in the world can talk endlessly about WW2 history raises the possibility that the knowledge preceded and in fact enabled the fatherhood. Maybe the reduction in fertility rates can be explained entirely by the transition from WW2 docos to The History of Rome in young men?
Have you considered donating a few hundred thousand to his campaign? It might become fairer to expect dignity then. Also consider offering him a cushy job at your billion dollar company when he's done in politics.
Nah that's worse because not only will people not potentially get it, no one would want to defend you. No one will come to bat for the popehat copycat.
How about Pro-Romani Copy-Hitler Hat?
fewer appearances, with the last few at his hospital bed, he dies without much fanfare. The conspiracy theories will always happen, but time to it to settle in will stem the flow, I feel. It won't be karmic, but the bonus is that dealing with a slow fading will tie up the administration too.
Logically speaking this feels intuitive, but there's a part of me that feels like the more of a spectacle it is the more likely it is to be 'a thing'. I'd say the ideal way for lack of conspiracies is if he continues visibly deteriorating, then gets hospitalized and then after a month of fewer and
Why: because I clicked the follow button. How: By clicking the follow button.
I'd argue that Dems run to the right not to try and appeal to mythical centrist voters, but because they largely have right-wing people at the helm who want those policies. When they are scared they run a few progressive policies to get votes, and when they are cocky they just want it their way.
I'm really not sure if it's a matter of the progressive wing not showing up - my understanding has been that the more left-wing someone is the more reliable a voter they are. I think when the dems run on left-wing platforms, they win because those platforms just actually offer things to everyone.
I'd describe him as the chief 'well, sure the right is bad but the left is the REAL threat' guy. He likely got flagged by that block list by being the author of The Harper Letter, a piece decrying attacks on free speech from the left and signed by a lot of big transphobes, including JK herself.
A completely reasonable and sane decision!
Roleplaying game writers in shambles right now.
Just so you can see what you're missing :D
@horsedisc.bsky.social run!
I think in the best case scenario, these are people who just like Gavin Newsom for some reason, consider their morale righteousness to be unquestionable and thus aren't willing to question why they like Newsom and what they are asking. I... think we know what the worst case scenario is.
I just can't get past how quickly they've jumped on 'throwing trans people under the bus'. You'd think Newsom had already won the primary with the way I'm seeing people talking. "Vote blue no matter who!" "Well, we could pick a candidate who is pro trans-rights!" "DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN?"
The room is about three paces long and two wide: a mere broom closet or disused tool room. In the room a Keir Starmer is sitting. It is feeble-minded. Perhaps it was born defective or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, neglect or a complete sacrifice of all it's morality for votes.
Sadly, since Keir Starmer is on a pretty high wage he'll almost certainly do better then the average person on UBI, meaning your results will show the control group as having better outcomes then the test group. What we need instead is one person, poor as hell, kept in a basement and suffering...
explicitly stating this is not surprising* but it is dire and horrible and worthy of concern * you know exactly why I said this slate.com/technology/2...
It's insane that they haven't already. The lack of panic amongst investors really goes to show that all of finance is vibes, not that I think anyone here needed to be convinced of that.
That's a really good point and not something I considered as a non-American. At this point I think I'm skeptical enough in the graph I'm gonna delete the post until I see something more confirmed.
Also surprised the crones engage in such intensive grooming routines. Would have thought croning would be too time consuming. Or perhaps it's all just illusionary? Either way, this still implies the matching styling is intentional on the crones behalf.
I appreciate your commitment to science here.
I've speculated about exactly this with my partner (who works in higher ed)!
@atunshei.bsky.social's video youtu.be/Po2QoNrswi4 specifically. Also talks about some of the actual cannibalism going on too, yay! While I'm spruiking Andy's videos, his one talking about the central metaphor of Ravenous being 'colonialism = cannibalism' is probably more apt. youtu.be/roRD4F9pg5s
Reminds me of a video I saw which talked about how it was a bit of a belief amongst some of the peoples from whom the slaves were being taken from that those who were enslaved were being cannibalized. Beyond just the visual image of seeing humans treated like cattle, it's a really apt metaphor.
token usage and mostly use other models! So yeah, what we can say is that the LLM with the biggest share of users had a huge drop off in usage when school holidays started in the US. Really what you'd need is user counts to confirm. Still gonna leave this up but I thought it important to caveat.
Someone else has shared an article pointing out that this calamitous drop in token count is mostly reserved for OpenAI, but looking into it further it seems that OpenAI represents most of the users of LLMs, but not a very high share of token count. Turns out that's because coding bots really drive
down for ChatGPT, that represents a disproportionate share of users. Of course this still doesn't prove it was students, I'm just learning that token counts are iffy as an assessment of use rbase.
Claude is the biggest model by token count, and these are the apps using it that are displayed on that website. As you can see the big hitters are all for coding. So yeah, it makes sense that general token count across then industry aren't going down, that's mostly coders, but if things are going
So I'm looking into this more and it is a question of 'how well does token usage correspond to users', because ChatGPT represents *way* more user-share then token-share. I thought maybe image generation was skewing it, but looking at the site discussed in the article it's not images, it's code.
I would wonder if that's something to do with the type of content being generated? I'm assuming image processing is far more computationally expensive for example. I do agree though that this imply we can't use token count to say that it was school holidays starting causing a drop off in users.
onto other platforms in just one day. Given that OpenAI's LLMs remain the most used in terms of user count by a substantial margin, I'm not sure this article proves that usage didn't dive off a cliff after June the 6th. I find the poor correlation of token usage to user count to be interesting,
... This article reads like it was written by an LLM. So annoying and repetitive. And while yes, it does suggest token usage for all GenAI stuff didn't drop as calamitously as it did for Open AI, this article does nothing to prove that 'market forces' as it claims drove all those users
$160 is the token bribe so you can put something down to register as payment to cover up for the actual bribe. Like when Adams paid a few hundred dollars for a normally many thousands of dollars hotel stay in Turkey.
I'm wondering how deep the "We will never cede an inch to the Greens" sentiment runs in the ALP. Feels like that level of complete intransigence can't *just* be Winters, especially when it's so obvious from the seat numbers that their only option for ever achieving power is working with them.
Yeah I think that sounds logical to me. I'm not ruling out yet another election soon, but I imagine there's a sense that whoever pushes for it is gonna get thumped.
I think we can safely rule out 4 years though.
At such a primal level too. I've chosen to describe their behavior as deliberate several times in this little exchange, and by that I don't mean I think it's the deliberateness of someone coldly trying to rile you up; but they know they are being rude, and they feel so slighted they don't care.
efficacy of your messaging would be delivering this message with an understanding of how sensitive an issue someone's tone is.
Thanks! And I'm sure the people doing it would argue they are just trying to help you persuade other, fictional people. But their choice to do so in a rude and condescending tone themselves gives away the deliberateness of the double standard. Someone who respected you who sincerely cared about the
