Why do people keep reading dystopias as instruction books?

Silentiea ,

Reasonable when the alternative is literally getting mugged on the daily?

Silentiea ,

The NASA VPN, on the other hand

Silentiea ,

Oh, I’m with you. I don’t think anyone using Google VPN was using it because it protected their privacy on the Internet generally. At least I hope not.

Silentiea ,

L stands for leap year, so that tracks.

Silentiea ,

Ah, yes, the Athenian Method.

Silentiea ,

How about family dynasties?

Wait, did somebody say Kennedy?

Silentiea ,

That’s allowed, no?

Unless I’m mistaken, this was more about writers not wanting the studio to be able to say “we had an ai generated a script. We’ll pay you a day to do a brief editing pass.”

Silentiea ,

Quoting the linked article:

The contract the Guild secured in September set a historic precedent: It is up to the writers whether and how they use generative AI as a tool to assist and complement—not replace—them. Ultimately, if generative AI is used, the contract stipulates that writers get full credit and compensation.

So, yeah. It’s more about ensuring that a human person in the writers’ guild gets credited as a writer, even if they or someone else uses an ai as a tool in the process.

Silentiea ,

Latin Perfida vermis or “treacherous worms”. Seems the Halo authors also think wormy thoughts.

Silentiea ,

I can post without images all the time, on boost on Android.

Silentiea ,

That’s okay. Did you know it has sequels?

Silentiea ,

…is Chuck Palahniuk the director of the Truman Show? The show?

Silentiea ,

Kreacher really wants to be a good slave, he just wants to be a good slave for the bad guys. So it’s okay to abuse him, see?

Silentiea ,

There was a picture of him in the link you shared, he looks almost exactly like the director guy in that movie. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was the model they based it on

Silentiea ,

They have a high alcohol diet?

Silentiea ,

Just maybe don’t chew those ones.

Silentiea ,

Hey, man, don’t shit on my corsets and hats.

Silentiea ,

The Vulcan science directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.

Silentiea ,

Maybe more like saying “you don’t have to be fastest to finish first if you get enough of a head start”?

Silentiea ,

They’re both so near zero as to be hardly worth considering.

The thing to think about is the fact that, in either case, ghost or alien are in any way especially indicated by the evidence. People don’t see something strange and conclude aliens because they have good reason to believe from the evidence that something traveled vast distances across space, but rather they simply don’t have anything good to believe right now.

Having unusual evidence that doesn’t seem to point at the simple, mundane explanation isn’t the same as having evidence that does point at a supernatural or extraterrestrial explanation

Silentiea ,

Listen, mate, threatening to kill people is a pretty shit way to interact with anyone. If you don’t want to date someone with a penis, maybe say so up front. No one is trying to trick you, and no one is trying to lie to you. They’re just trying to live life, same as anyone.

Silentiea ,

Everyone hear that? Once you get a hysterectomy, you’re not female any more!

Silentiea ,

I mean personally I figure some way that doesn’t exclude anyone who’s had a hysterectomy, but

Silentiea ,

Apparently she defended trans people in a conversation, someone complained, and moderators got involved and manually overrode the ai. Paraphrased hearsay.

Silentiea ,

FSM?

Silentiea ,

Just rent a Cesna and fly straight there, they don’t stop you.

Silentiea ,

Sounds like a time machine. I’d love a time machine.

Silentiea ,

I mean, only insofar as that’s true of anything illegal?

Silentiea ,

I have three identical monitors in a row. Primarily I use the center one, for productive work and gaming, but often I’ll have something up on the second screen that I’m working with as well. It’s more rare that I actively use the third one, but some tasks have more than two or three windows and now I can see all of them full size at once.

I’ve occasionally used them as a single ultra wide screen for gaming, but since then I’ve gotten an hmd for VR and that is better.

You can make a line break by ending your sentence with two spaces and then a line break.
Only using one space or none will instead treat the line break in your comment as just a space.
Ending a line on a `` will also make a new line

Two line breaks in a row while making your comment will make a paragraph break

Silentiea ,

Yes. “Fighting words,” credible threats, and other such aggressive language are generally illegal, even in the USA.

If any language being illegal is automatically censorship, then I don’t think censorship isnecessarily bad in every case.

Silentiea ,

I guess you’re welcome to that opinion. Just as one would be welcome to the opinion that literally stalking someone should be legal.

Many kinds of speech are very broadly considered okay to restrict, even in places like the USA where “unlimited free speech” is a big motto. It’s illegal to slander and libel people, for example. That it’s illegal in many cases to verbally harass and abuse as well should be fairly non-contentious.

Silentiea ,

We’re also monkeys, if there is such a thing. Some monkeys are more closely related to apes (and thus to us) than they are to other monkeys, so if there’s any group that can be called the “monkey clade,” we are in it.

Silentiea ,

When you define a word loosely enough, it can cease to be meaningful. When most people hear “opposition to censorship,” they’re not going to expect the reference to be advocating for the legalization of public and deliberate slander or open threats of violence and attempts to incite violence.

Using the phrase in that way may not be technically incorrect, but it is still misleading at best and disingenuous at worst. Again, you are welcome to your view of what constitutes censorship and the belief that it is always, ipso facto, abhorrent, but I don’t think that view leaves any room for meaningful discussion about this case, so I don’t think I’ll be engaging any further. Call it self-censorship if you like.

Silentiea ,

Campaign contributions greater than $n from people and greater than $0 from corporations

Super PACs?

Silentiea ,

How can you see anything anymore?

Silentiea ,

Giving tips is okay. Paying your employees less because you expect them to be tipped is stupid. Culturally requiring tips to make up the majority of a positive income is ridiculous, but very difficult to change.

Silentiea ,

Two ways: first, you go to doctors offices and hospitals and give gifts to the person responsible for picking which version of this medicine to buy/prescribe.
Second, convince patients to ask for your version when they see their doctor by telling them on tv that it will make their life better or whatever

Silentiea ,

Lol @ just filling return envelopes with worthless dead weight

Silentiea ,

It’s the only way to be sure!

Game over, man! Game over!

Silentiea ,

I mean maybe they decided it was going to be easier to buy a judge than another FCC chair?

Silentiea ,

Gigabit fiber is a thing, and not at all uncommon in a lot of places.

Silentiea ,

There are plenty of examples of companies challenging the legality of regulations and winning, and other cases of apparent corruption among judges.

Silentiea ,

I love this game. I got it at launch and never had a problem, and I’ve played like two complete 100% games already before the dlc, now on my third one.

Ukraine packed a Cessna-style plane with explosives, added remote controls and kamikaze’d it into a Russian drone factory 600 miles away (www.forbes.com)

In a sharp escalation of its drone campaign targeting strategic industries deep inside Russia, Ukraine seems to have fitted Cessna-style light planes with remote controls, packed them with explosives and flown at least one of them more than 600 miles to strike a Russian factory in Yelabuga, 550 miles east of Moscow....

Silentiea ,

New Geneva conventions list of war crimes:

Biggest and just about onliest problem with nuclear fission is how expensive it is to set it up, both in terms of time and money.

Edit: typo

Silentiea ,

If only there was a single chance in hell of making it happen, yeah.
