How's it going, Pennsylvania?
  • TheDoctor TheDoctor Now 100%

    Renting billboards to put up unhinged political signs seems to be a thing in rural PA. There’s one guy near me who literally installed a big portable sign specifically for the purposes of talking about how Trump will save us from sin.

    This is insulting as fuck. I grew up as a boy with plenty of reactionary beliefs because patriarchy is a fucking prison. And as I got older and got called out for it, you know what I didn’t do? Become a fucking fascist. I wasn’t pushed towards fascism. I was already reactionary and fascism would have required less work of me. That’s not the same thing. And it lets people off the hook to suggest otherwise.

    Least favorite effect of estrogen: I can’t clean up dog shit without almost puking. My wife could never clean up dog shit so it’s always been my job and now I’m constantly at risk of making an ever bigger mess than what I’m cleaning up. What the fuck.

    Watching the side by side it’s easy to see how much of this is completely devoid of technical considerations. AI is capable of tweening images, but each shot is framed more or less like a portrait with no movement. I think that turning a storyboard into a live action film will be a viable pipeline at some point in the next couple years, but it’s going to involve just as much process development as it is going to revolve around technical achievements in AI.

    We can complain all we want about how this guy burned down a forest to make a shitty fanfic recut of the Princess Mononoke trailer, but looking at his costs and the costs of making movies in general, it’s hard to argue that this isn’t going to become a thing.

    Like all Musk content, this is boringly unoriginal. Same thing’s been said about gay people for decades if not longer. It’s giving conservative uncle at Thanksgiving. You know he heard it somewhere and thought it sounded quippy, but the source doesn’t really matter because he’s gonna say it like he thought of it either way.

    I’m just surprised that the bigots claiming Haitians were somehow responsible for a decrease in the geese population may have been responding to an actual decrease in the geese population rather than just making it up.

    Chess, the game which can famously be improved upon for an entire lifetime, was too simple for him at age 8? Sounds like he plateaued and didn’t know how to keep improving.

    In my experience, selfish assholes who work service jobs just use it as an excuse to shit on service workers harder because, “I’ve worked this job and it’s not that hard”.

  • I just wanna start DMing a game and I need to buy $150 in books to do so? The fuck. Edit: Lots of people telling me to play other systems. Here’s what’s up: * I want to play a 1-on-1 game with my wife * I’ve never DMed before * She’s never played a TTRPG, so this would be her introduction * She’s been reading a lot of fae-related fantasy, which has me thinking she may want to play roleplay heavy with some fae storylines present * Ideally the system wouldn’t be too crunchy or combat focused Edit 2: I’ve spoken with her and she actually wants a more modern setting

    Others’ humanity is negotiable to me because I only have to engage with violence in the abstract. In reality I avoid any and all confrontation no matter how egregious the fault. My friends and family don’t know the amount of unprocessed rage I store in my body. I am a very healthy and well balanced person who is good to be around.

    What do you call this phenomenon? I think of the kulaks burning their harvest and I think of schools shutting down during desegregation in the US rather than integrate. Are there any other good examples? Why do people do this?

    How do I know? Because “wait, let me get my shoes” is classic prose. It was scripted, including the dead firefighter. Sacrifices had to be made. The SS would never let him pose for a photo op after an active shooter was shot. They are inherently competent just like all long standing US institutional forces. There is no other explanation.

    Maybe he was shot in the wrong ear. All these news outlets are saying he was shot in the right ear and it just seems presumptuous for how early it is.
