I just tried this. FML, Discord needs to go on a diet.

A combination of pandemic lockdowns and work-from-home was practically an orange-pill recipe for myself and many others. There's no looking back now, and there hasn't been in over five years.

Hilarious to have that for what is practically a monochrome dot-matrix printout.

Yup. That's basically what happened with TikTok.

2/5 - Decent troll effort, but I've seen much better around here. Get gud.

As a fellow American, I'm going to make a big assumption here and advise you to engage with more people outside. Lemmings are great and all but we do not represent the real world. I can say this has helped me and man, am I worlds better for it.

Right now, the internet is quasi-weaponized against everyone's better mental health. A lot of people are being fed propaganda that aligns strongly with their beliefs, with many people being sucked into a narrow, amplified, and semi-fictional view of reality. You have to dig deep to find real journalism, facts, and then puzzle together a less biased worldview; few people are there to do any of that legwork for you these days. It's all exhausting and a recipe for mental illness if you do it constantly.

Instead, try to get out there and just talk to one person; better yet a stranger. Even if it's just smalltalk. Even if it's about the weather with a librarian or a checkout clerk. ANYONE. If you can make your way to a club, mutual-aid hub, local meetup, whatever... that's even better. The goal is to just verbalize with other humans. The rest will follow from there.

Ironic. 60lbs is risky for those without free healthcare.

The moment I seriously started to wonder about my dad's ability to assess social situations, he asked me to help with some labor out in a muddy field. I had to point out that I was wearing dress shoes and slacks at the time...

There's gotta be a way to fingerprint the output though. Like some kind of shibboleth that gives the model away based on how it responds?

Ooh, you're right. That's a damn good aptronym if I've ever seen one.

Tabs were a welcome addition, but that's where the good idea train swiftly leaves the rails.

What we needed was a built-in hex editor, and maybe some better tools for working with unicode that you can't just type in on whatever keyboard you have.

Instead, they turned it into WordPad, which we already have.

With the rise in popularity of Anime like "Delicious in Dungeon" and "Campfire Cooking in Another World", I wouldn't be surprised if people are honestly giving a "cooking bard" character a shot. I'm intrigued myself, but am curious if the RaW for this bard college works in practice. Is anyone out there playing one of these?

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
