I appreciate having the sort of friends where we can have a conversation that comes to the consensus that "Writing and calendars were much cooler inventions than LLMs"

I had a dreamlet where i was in an airport security line and overheard people traveling with haircare products referred to insultingly as "shampoomers"
AI nerds like to say you can't put the genie back in the bottle but clearly they have never seen the 1994 disney direct to video classic "The Return of Jafar" in which it is clearly established that if you destroy a genie's lamp it kills the genie.

@aesmael@blahaj.zone This implies that truth is a lipid, and that such dissolution is a form of saponification.
Is there a term out there for an "I'm not a furry but a lot of my friends are" equivalent of a grungler?

@aesmael@blahaj.zone This is why i said it; it's been 20 years since I had another opportunity.

@nickapos @billgoats Back when I used my Kindle 3 I mainly used the jailbreak for custom fonts and a hack to set the cover of your current book as the screensaver image.
Found a new thing to make with an italian beef roast: Beef and noodles!
The Ides of March are too commercialized these days. We should remember the real reason for the season.

Dude was just kinda always a youtuber. Well before youtube existed.
Did some random doodles the other day and found I'm really out of practice with especially 3/4 angle faces.
I think what I need to do go get back into the game is say fuck it to what my art teachers always said and use photo references
Been watching Yellowjackets with a friend and i generally like it but man it is just not gay enough.
Like early on in the first season it felt like it was very much building on a Shauna-Jackie relationship that was a mix of jealousy and attraction, but halfway through the season they kinda dropped it and just made them hate each other?
Overall I like the show a lot but there's a lot of bits that really feel like they were kinda rewriting things mid-season a BUNCH. (ironically the last showtime show i watched, The L Word, had a similar problem of introducing plot threads and then dropping or forgetting about them)

@Talen_Lee@kind.social It's honestly heartening how much extensive adblocking can like... erode your desensitization to ads.
I'm always upset by how many TV commercials i easily remember from childhood, but i literally cannot remember any commercial I've seen in the last 15-20 years and that makes me happy.

@qualia Man, you probably made their day. Some reaches out from the blue and is like "hey i really liked this thing you made 30 years ago and want to play it again"? Heck of an ego boost.

@joomy@functional.cafe This story reminds me of a bit from a James Thurber Story where he talks of an aunt terrified to leave light sockets empty becaise "The electricity would leak out" which sounds so silly until you think, what did we have before electric lighting? Gas lamps. Which WERE dangerous in that way.
Man, living in the 20th century had to be wild.
