Sometimes scepters come in the strangest of forms!

I don’t like gift cards or money because it tends to end up being circular - so not a gift at all, just $50 that keep making the rounds.

The group might as well spend that money on a wandering birthday scepter. Much better and you can hit people with it.

I’ve had similar experiences. Try to do something semi-difficult and it fails, sometimes in an entertainingly shit way at least. Try something simple where I already know the answer? Good chance there’s at least one fundamental issue with the output.

So what are people who use this tech actually getting out of it? Do they just make it regurgitate things from StackOverflow? Do they have a larger tolerance for cleaning up trash? Or do they just not check the output?

“Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks.”

I always think of this song by 7 seconds of love when I read that. Pretty much sums it up.

Okay, in that case his behavior is actually an improvement over theirs. Still not good by any means but damn, what the hell.

Explanation: The guy on the right is Linus Sebastian, a tech youtuber running a fairly large media company. I’d characterize their output as being a mixture of news, reviews and Top Gear style fucking around with tech.

A couple weeks ago he sent Linus Torvalds an e-mail, asking him if he’d like to do some sort of collaboration - mainly because of the name and because he’s a personal hero of his. Torvalds quickly responded, telling him that it would have to be a “there can only be one” type situation, like in Highlander or Mad Max.

So they shot something where they most are just chatting while building a computer together but did the bit for the intro. The video is not released yet.

It’s freeware not open source but I like Monofur. Might not be the most beautiful font but I find it very legible and the distinction between similar characters is quite good. It’s available in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories too.

But in the real world you probably don’t need more precision than 333.3 anyway.

If you really need that level of precision for some reason you can just write 1/3m as a fraction.

Have you asked her if she’s seeing anyone? If not then maybe you can go from there, mention that you aren’t either.

You also mentioned that you feel safe to express yourself with her and it sounds like that’s mutual. So if that’s true then there must be a way to bring this up in some way, right?

I expect it goes like this: Electricity is real and does things, yet it’s so mysterious and unseen! Just like god!

Bought it at launch and just couldn’t cope with the mechanics. Not a fun experience. But then I played it after 2.0 came out and now I have a favorite game. Never really had one before.

That’s too simple, you could subtract everything adult from the furry fandom and quite a lot would remain. If you did the same to an actual fetish-based community you’d have little left, if anything.

Furries like anthropomorphic animals in multiple ways. People tend to focus on (and scandalize) the sexual part when sometimes it’s just cute, funny or invokes all sorts of other feelings. It’s a full-spectrum interest.

Treating an LLM like a novelty oracle seems okay-ish to me, it’s a bit like predicting who will win the game by seeing which bowl a duck will eat from. Except minus the cute duck, of course. At least nobody will take it too serious, and those that do will probably see why they shouldn’t.

Still annoying though.

I remember it like it was yesterday. “Xbox, go home!”

It’s a thing kids say to taunt each other, “girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider”.

I’m past 40 and while in my head I still consider myself progressive, I used to show it much more when I was younger. I was honest about my insecurities, I would try not to take up too much space as a man, would try to split responsibilities equally, and so on. At every turn this has caused me problems in relationships, not least with my wife of 10 years who left me for some muscular macho guy because she “doesn’t feel like I can take care of her”.

It always seems to come down to traditional gender roles being dehumanizing. Men traditionally aren’t allowed to be “weak”, women traditionally aren’t allowed to be “strong” (but there’s been some work done on that). It took me a while to fully internalize (not just know) that, first and foremost, both are people with all the complexities that come with that. I personally would rather die alone than live every day in fear that I’m not pretending well enough to fit a stereotype. I’m probably over-dramatizing though, just really can’t stand stereotyping.
