I hate ai. it’s the worst thing to happen to my writing. I used to like writing, but the ai is better than me and much faster, and it hits the dopamine as if I did it myself. fuck everyone pushing ai, it’s evil.

so I’m gonna have to buy another key, is what you’re saying

it’s what i bought so I can open shit at the store I work at. spider is the name brand of magnetic locks, but the same key works on every brand of magnetic lock I’ve tried.

sorry for linking amazon, but you should know that you can just buy your own spider key

look, I could do that, OR, hear me out, I could be mad on the Internet about shit that doesn’t actually matter. I know which one I’d pick.

Regardless of what your opinions on Palestine might be, Israel really isn’t beating the allegations right now.

I remember what I learned in school about this, it was described as a territory dispute between two equal belligerents. Maybe that was true 30 years ago, I don’t know, but it really doesn’t describe what’s going on right now.

The war is over. Israel won, Palestine barely even exists anymore. This is the part where you’re supposed to facilitate aid and win over the losers to your side. dafuq flavor of genocide you dune Israel?

of course, nobody who needs to read this will ever see it. I’m just upset that this kind of thing can even happen in current year.

Of course the second, I’m looking at current events like it’s still 2015. not sure why I’m doing that, but fuck does current events make me miss 2015.

I highly recommend reading this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

Depends on who gets superpowers, and how such powers are acquired.

The broad strokes of The Boys makes some degree of sense if we start with the premise that some megacorporation controls the manufacture and publicity of all supers. However, if supers can come from other sources, then what limitations are we putting on the premise?

I am of the opinion that most people are inherently good. Most people are also inherently stupid and cowardly, but keep in mind that these circles on the venn diagram are independent of each other despite some overlap. However, if given an opportunity to choose between helping and hurting, without any fear of repercussions either way, most people would choose to help.

There’s a popular quote: “power corrupts”, which is a shortened version of “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. I think this quote misses something fundamental: “power attracts the corruptable”. In a world without gods, no one I’d ever trust to be one would ever actively make the choice to become one unless it was forced on them somehow.

If superpowers were distributed more randomly, then the odds of us getting a superman instead of a homelander improve greatly. Still a dice throw though.

holy shit that looks bad.

If you have deus ex through steam, you can also get revision through steam and revision looks pretty good in my opinion.

Something I’ve noticed, and it’s consistent enough that I suspect that microsoft does it on purpose, there’s a 50/50 chance that your windows instal will either be fine forever without problems, or plagued with constant issues that get worse with every update. 2 identical machines with the same install media can produce very different experiences.

I use linux now, and I no longer do tech support, so I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that shit anymore.

i do like The Hu.

anonymous, not private. the two ideas are not the same.

username very relevant

the fuck is wrong with you

you think people even read it?

Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with “realistic graphics” has ever stood the test of time.

Weight is in pounds. Only pounds. don’t ask me how much a gram or a ton is.

Volume, though, I still remember “Gallon Man” from 1st grade.

2 cups in a pint

2 pints in a quart

4 quarts in a gallon

What’s after gallons? not a clue.

yeah, it sucks. There’s no actual case for imperial over metric. it’s just what I’ve spent years getting used to and I’m not changing now.

The dark side can be a pathway to many abilities some might consider … stupid.

I know right? it’s such an intuitive system with a convenient unit for every scale you might want to work with.
