All I want is a seaside cottage, the distant rumble of thunder, a vintage mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, a comfortable reading chair, a crackling fire, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of freshly-baked emotional support scones.

"only humans can make art" an absurd proposition on its face tbh. looking at a rock painting like, "okay, but what genus was its creator in?"

hate to be a "Cartesian dualism ruined everything" guy but you do have to admit that Cartesian dualism ruined everything. "only certain special kinds of things get to think" has really done a number on us. accept the panpsychist plenum of Margaret Cavendish

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

was quite tempted to replace CM with Dwarf Fortress for cool-guy cred but I have to be honest, when you look at the hours

Civilization II
Team Fortress 2

Far Cry 2

i know it's very bsky coded to argue with the onion so please take this in the spirit of an interesting thing, but my understanding is that contemporary evidence suggests all Shakespeare's plays were staged basically as Elizabethan London. So Caesar in a toga would in fact be kind of unconventional

All I want is a cool October night, a full moon, a vintage copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a mysterious Victorian mansion, a crackling fire, an emotional support owl, a basket of freshly-baked scones, and the heartwarming sound of wolves in the distance.

"i support all the Nazi policies bc I've internalised a view of what Authentic People want and I'm terrified of appearing as a latte-sipping liberal to my more right wing friends" or whatever is, i think, a real thing for a lot of people in the media etc, but importantly is still just being a nazi

Sex is great but have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe whilst enjoying dark chocolate mousse and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in front of a crackling fire in an ominous Victorian mansion under a full moon with the sound of owls in the distance on a cool October night?

If you don’t want to read Dracula together by candlelight whilst sharing dark chocolate cheesecake and a vintage Cabernet Sauvignon in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night as wolves howl in the distance, then please don’t tell me you’re “open to trying new things."
