@openargs.bsky.social This was a pretty routine anti-SLAPP case, but it got "sussy wussy" into a decision. I think we can all be grateful for that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ej...
Idk if it's Thiel or Yarvin, and I don't know which is worse. Nightmare fuel either way.
"...orgy...blown..." Sounds like a W to me
This is modern music (it came out last year) but it feels old. As the kids are saying, it is pretty groovy. freeways410.bandcamp.com/album/dark-s...
We've got to nip these puns in the bud.
I agree that replicating a brain is currently very inaccessible. That's not the question.
I don't see why we would assume this. Most things our bodies do can be replicated, and most things that haven't been yet seem like problems of implementation rather than of kind.
True. But there's (probably) nothing special about neurons. Whatever gives rise to our conscious experience, it could happen in a mechanical system.
I'm saying that having some small number of people take questions like "can we be sure we aren't creating and torturing conscious beings" seriously is a reasonable hedge.
I think caution is warranted. We don't have that good a grasp on where high-level consciousness comes from. If the panpsychists are right, it might come from surprising places.
While I agree that LLMs seem unlikely to have an internal experience, sufficiently complex computational systems can develop them a some point. Otherwise, humans wouldn't have them.
The beautiful thing about Eminem's beefs is that he managed to crush most people so thoroughly that trying to clout farm him became a terrible strategy. Being an all-time battle rapper is a tough skill for most of us, though.
This is the one (1) thing about Ohio State that I will admit to liking.
They're not supposed to be healthy. You're supposed to eat them here at 3am while drinking the worst coffee east of the Mississippi and playing chess with someone who is either homeless or a philosophy grad student.
And what a waste of a useful name it was. But Legends at least has a cool core mechanic. Even terrible ones had aura.
Or Fallen Empires, which was released when the top song in the country came from Boyz II Men.
Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? I’m running for California State Assembly! Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.
Yes, I think that is quite plausible. When your baseline assumption is "government is mostly full of evil people," the acceptable rate of exaggeration is zero. And this isn't really exaggeration in the traditional sense. 80% vs 90% is exaggerating. 90% vs 100% is a category error.
Maybe I'm crazy. But for example 24:50-25:05 when you're thanking Aaron (masterpiece mixtape). It's less noticeable at 1x speed on my computer than it was on my phone
**2 chickpeas
I'm not complaining, just pointing it out in case no one else does: your audio was a little weird for the second half of the show. Some frequencies were clipping a bit maybe? I'm not an audio knower.
Seems more like a WR tweet, to be honest. But yes, shameful, even for someone formerly from the Discovery Institute
People aren't putting this on the feel-good playlist of '90s hits, because it's from 1987. But it's #good if you need some musical caffeine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kij...
Lots of this in sci-fi, I find. It isn't quite true that reading a plot summary of, say, Foundation and Empire is as good as reading the book, but it's weirdly close for such an esteemed author.
If Sandy Hook didn't spur change, I struggle to imagine that anything will. A fucking disgrace indeed.
Judas Bishop
No, they don't. Everything is still limited, especially time. We don't (and probably can't) have a psychological model for people when that isn't the case.
I think it's pretty difficult to predict out what people will want post-scarcity. Like, oligarchs might not want our company. But if the marginal cost of keeping us alive is 0, they might do it anyway.
The other folks who were upset with the guy had a more...vigorous view on the correct way to address their disagreements.
Italian cinema, where the imdb picture for your leading man is from his uncredited role in Zombi. I have tomorrow off, so I'm going to find out just how terrifying these rats are
Yes. The great insight of people like Bannon and Trump is that no one stops you. They are the Sith embodiment of "you can just do things."
You don't understand. If you *know* that someone is guilty, just call the local vigilantes group after you get them acquitted. It's a very good and normal approach to fighting crime that can't ever go wrong. Apply to become a crime knower today!
Touchback to the 35, gain 15 yards, score 3 points.
As McDaniel reminded us this week...we're one day closer to the grave. We're all dying, and yet we persist. Great day.
I feel like the death of one Prince of Darkness necessitates new walkup music for this one. Perhaps "Diary of a Narrow Man."
One day, probably after Caleb throws 4 picks to Kerby Joseph, we will truly get Paywall Andy.
His broken ribs pass against KC was one of the highest dog equity plays I've ever seen. But at some point that stops being enough and you become protestant Phillip Rivers.
I had my original Glissa Sunseeker deck for a long time. Built around the theme of "every card must plausibly be card advantage." That was tough in mono green 20 years ago!
@harrisfootball.com I know it's practice and this doesn't matter, but this might be the most Browns image I've seen this year. Definitely needed to sign Tyler Huntley. Good grief.
He sounds a lot like you. Doesn't look quite as much like the Browns MVP.
Where does Billy stand on over-the-top bloody marys? Is someone getting trapped for this?
Excited for Johnson to come back to the Lions. A Matt Patricia of our very own.
I'm always surprised that culture managed to reclaim skin fades from fascists. Is the Jordan moustache next?
I'm going to need you go see O. Shag Hennessy.
@harrisfootball.com took one for the team and watched Happy Gilmore 2. I will admit to laughing out loud a couple times, all in the first 15 minutes. It's not offensively stupid like some Sandler movies, but it is kind of boring. I think this is one you can safely skip.
Three previous Fantastic 4 movies. *Combined* 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. Why is this franchise so cursed?
[while doordashing, after being told the food would be ready soon every 10 minutes for 38 minutes, internal monologue of a deadite] Thanks, have a good one.
Nature figured out expandable meat on its own.
It isn't that common that artists get to perform in the face of an end they know isn't far away. It's not the greatest vocal performance I've heard, but damn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmUh...

While the fascists presently gain power only by partnering with those who want to nuke the social safety net, I think a decent % of them sincerely believe in more redistributive politics. Within their ethnostate. After all, we know who the global capitalists are.
One of my most cancellable takes is that my favor La Croix flavor is plain. Sorry, "Pure." Like "Chocolate" M&M's. Just say plain, cowards.
And let's not forget elite comedian Alex Emerick jones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4dQ...
I think it hinges on whether Shane Gillis counts as conservative or not. I also think Tim Allen could be funny if he were somehow back to "I need to smuggle cocaine"-level broke so he couldn't coast on dgaf and outrage.
I haven't worked for Uber, so it is probably somewhat different, but platinum status as a DoorDasher requires a 70% acceptance rate.
The Internet's watering hole. I'm glad I don't have to sign this kind of nonsense.
As a dad, you're supposed to like butter pecan. Just like you're supposed to like German chocolate cake, and og shredded wheat.
There aren't too many cards with immediate errata. Oboro Envoy isn't the answer to many questions, but I believe it was the first card to get it. But it might be Impulse. Do you know when the shuffling was fixed on that?
Well Gotham in is New Jersey soooo
Do chickpeas count as beans? If so, sounds like free lunch.
I guess we kind of have to hand it to Rupert Murdoch?
I guess the upside is that it's happening in an era where TV is on the decline. Imagine if this happened in, say, 1998. Though maybe there were more serious people who wouldn't have stood for it back then.
Turns out that being one of the wholesome ones correlates strongly with being bad at legitimate violence. Ah well.
As individual energy consumption goes up, fertility goes down. Holds across mammals as a whole, primates in particular, and industrialized societies. This was in ~2012 so the data is a bit different now.
The really parsimonious explanation is that it's this and everything else is rationalization.
My 5 month-old niece just skipped gen alpha and is going to be one of the oldest betas. Perhaps you're right. But I don't like it!
Denny no. We can't start using millenials to mean dusty old crypt keepers. Marcedes Lewis was definitely eligible to fight in Vietnam. We're not old.
It doesn't make a difference if you like it or not.
He's one of yours now. We are no longer accepting returns.
There are many examples of Saw Con, but this one involves wrestling youtu.be/eouy8_T0rg0?...
"HOME is next to END"
Figures the Browns are responsible for a DV arrest and a crime against humanity. Truly the most cursed franchise in sports.
This was a similar idea. It didn't accomplish anything because Norway is weirdly conservative about gambling, but the point was proven. www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/1...
Hope y'all stay safe. Folks here in Chapel Hill were reasonably damp last week. And to think I almost bought a condo on this street.
@pauliesopinions.bsky.social @moltisantithots.bsky.social Some guys from the neighborhood are gonna stop by. Can youse come over the bridge and teach these assholes a lesson?
Check Mywatch Punk
It is easy to forget that some of the most violent struggles of the American labor movement were fought in places that are now R+60. Material results tend to overcome people's preconceptions.
Comrades, and in some cases friends
I believe Enrique Iglesias did. But don't listen to the uncensored one. The kids!
Whiskey, I believe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsqZ...
My god. Do you need me to send you 69 lb of freeze-dried elk liver?
If not Bryon Johnson, are you perhaps Brian Johnson aka Liver King?
Lateral Love was the name of my pedal steel-based Golden Earring cover band.
He's the new Sam LaPorta!
@dennycarter.bsky.social There are many bad things in the BBB that are worse than this, and this doesn't matter compared to lots of them. But this is also quite bad for those of us who think sports should be played on spreadsheets. x.com/i/status/194...
Luckily, our courts would never try to enforce the Communist Control Act. Right? Bueller?
@openargs.bsky.social Since singers are getting in trouble this week: Rainbow had a song called "Kill the King." I guess Megadeth does too, but Dio is a lot cooler than Mustaine. Hypothetically, how on the nose could someone performing that song get with the subtext without breaking the law?
It's like Excel but worse
Damn it someone is cutting onions hey wait a minute.
Like life, the podcast schedule is very fragile.
And, of course, that's what happened. I get that the vibes of some lefty messaging can be bad. But stopping and asking what real, material problems have been created for you is a good step. Because for people like us, the answer is usually none.
I remember a podcast years ago where one of the guests said something like "Can I make a prediction? I'm going to tell you about laws that make trans people second-class citizens, and then you're going to tell me about some powerless college students making you feel bad and pretend that's the same."
Only a team that is both desperate and depraved would sign him. Well. Nevertheless.
Well you see, sir, dates aren't actually living things so they can't live in infamy.
I haven't been an canvasser in a minute, but we were told that bans in private developments - i.e. those where the roads are not owned by the state - were actually enforceable. That might vary by jurisdiction, or might just be what you tell 20 y/o knuckleheads.
You can add hot sauce to pilsner-style beer. It's actually...pretty good.
He truly never recovered from Katrina - deservedly so - and seemed to accept his fate after the midterms. Even the Surge barely felt like a W thing. It was just a government thing.
