Imagine you are a smoker and the addiction makes it impossible for you to quit. Then one day nobody will sell you a cigarette or let you bum one off them.

Count your blessings and move on.

Reddit Karma ain’t worth shit. Imaginary Internet points.

Sure hope not.

Either nobody would believe it, or it would be on every screen and headline for a week, before the next news cycle Swiss the attention away.

Pretty good points there, though i’d argue it’s not just pure numerical IQ, but mostly life experience. The more variety of life you experience, the more you know of human history, different cultures, ways of thinking and seeing the world - the harder it is for you to get impressed by something as shallow as AI.

Tech bros live in a bubble of their own creation and don’t understand the true richness of the human condition.

I mean fuck X, sure, but why is the police posting crucial information on a commercial, privately moderated platform? Why would you just assume everyone has an account with Musk’s service?

I’ve seen this shit in Europe too - with everyone just assuming you’ll have WhatsApp. At least most EU governments don’t use it exclusively, but I’m certain countries, like Turkey, WhatsApp is the only channel where information can often be found.

Also Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir: Great book about communicating with species that differs from humans in almost every possible way.

Interactive Entertainment? Interactive Experience?

Not sure if there is a catch-all term that encompassed everything, but these seem broader than games.

I’d guess NPR

Of course I did!

With a #$ump this size You gotta flush twice

I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous “drinking from jars” phase.

I get really bad brain fog. It’s like I wake up and feel my IQ has halved. Simple problems seem gigantic, everything is a hassle. On top of that - general fatigue, like walking up the stairs or running a bit gets me all breathless. Even though I should be familiar with it by now, I always keep thinking: “is it COVID?”

Then one day it rains and the pollen subsides and suddenly I can run and think and feel like myself again.

Thank you! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a decade or so!

Now, what’s SFM?

Because the original Joker design is not just something that occurred in nature, out of nowhere. It was created by another artist(s) who don’t get credit or compensation for their work.

When YouTube “essayists” cobble script together by copy pasting paragraphs and changing some words around and then then earn money off the end product with zero attribution, we all agree it’s wrong. Corporations doing the same to images are no different.

Check out the rest of Posy’s channel. Some really good stuff from this guy

None of the Reddit interfaces were ever any good IMHO. The service was only usable thanks to third party readers that redefined its user experience. Without them it’s about as pleasant as gopher.

Yup. Both the desktop website and the official app are garbage UX. With no third party app option, I could not use Reddit even if I wanted to.

Ok, that’s a good one. I think I might have fallen down with the good old bias: everything before my time is antique and everything newer than my time is an abomination. Thanks for slapping some sense into the old grumpy guy :)

I guess my beef is not with the abbreviations, but more with the fact that short versions completely replace long ones. I can’t recall the last time I heard someone say words like mayonnaise or influenza.

Ever noticed how in America we tend to come up with abbreviations for any word people don’t feel like learning to spell? Renaissance, Mayonnaise… even Through. (Ren, Mayo and Thru, respectively).

Anyway, awesome costumes, love both armors equally.
