Since I couldn't understand the Monty Hall Problem in abstract, I programmed it in Gamemaker and tested it. I get it now, and it does in fact work. First image is staying with your door, second image is switching. Successes is the top number, failures is the bottom number. Math works!

The first single off my new album, "Up to Me", releases on September 4th. Epic alternative pop about being hopeful about the future while also feeling incredibly overwhelmed about everything. It's a good 'un. Spotify pre-save: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #musicsky #popmusic #independentmusic

I'm playing Dishonored again, since I've been reading Mistborn and it reminded me a lot of Dishonored. Strangely, the last time I played this game was *exactly* 13 years ago. Like to the day. How did that happen.

imagine thinking these two things are equivalent. Freeing Palestine from Zionist occupation and oppression does not mean killing all the people who live in Israel. The only people who think like that are colonialist lunatics, like Zionists. Palestinians want an end to their oppression.
a post from @dscrad.medsky.social:

"But Israel now wants a "greater Israel" and the Palestinians want "Free Palestine (river to sea)" so the wheel turns."

"THERE'RE LOTS OF ETHNOSTATES!!" is not the gotcha zionists think it is. i don't think any ethnostates should exist. this isn't complex. only fascists want them to exist.
facebook comments

Mike Eckhaus supporting an ethnostate makes you a nazi.

Zoya Evesque Davis Palestine, if it was a country, would be an ethnostate. There are tons of ethnostates in the world. But in your mind, Israel is the only one? Not sure you thought this through.

A pen and a gun, clearly equivalent and require the same amount of responsibility to use. Idiotitc. These people literally think mass shootings are the price we pay for “freedom”
Facebook comments

Carl Klinger what does “use it properly” mean? Is murdering some kids improper use of a gun? I could see that, but how do you *prevent that from happening*? How do you make sure a person will “use it properly”? You can’t just assume everyone who buys a gun will be responsible with it, and licensing is a pretty simple method of proving said responsibility to society. Come on klinger you can’t be this dumb.

Zoya Evesque Davis innocent until proven guilty.  If I hand you a pen, how do I know you won't stab someone in the neck until they are dead? I don't.  I trust that you won't. That's how society works. It has to. You don't have to prove yourself to me, and vice versa.

Explaining basic shit like “look up the definition” and “use your eyes and ears” to zionists.
A simple comic, one person on the left is saying, calmly, "There is an obvious genocide happening. Based on the UN definition decided in 1948.". The zionist depicted on the right is covering their ears, gritting their teeth, and closing their eyes and yelling "what GenOCIde?! I cannot SEE of HEAR or THINK"

btw, by this definition that zionists sometimes love to use, the holocaust itself wouldn't count as a genocide. but they don't care. because they're nazis.

Can you believe there’re still people out there living under this insane level of delusion?
Facebook comment in reply toZoya Evesque Davis: this is just low IQ.  There has never in history been a more careful military than the IDF.  Their ratio of combatants to civilians killed in urban warfare is a fraction of anything even the US has ever achieved.  No army has ever been more careful to minimize civilian deaths.  The only genocide was the 1300 people raped, tortured and murdered on 10/7, supported by a population that to this day believes overwhelmingly that all non Muslims in the world should be raped and murdered.  A population that absolutely would execute you for your sexual orientation.

This guy decided I'm not a communist because I posted the latest @edzitron.com article about how AI is not profitable. lol apparently just mentioning that makes my leftist cred go away to this idiot, who also believes on can't be against AI and the genocide at the same time.
comment on facebook stating: Zoya Evesque Davis You say this and your argument against AI is that it isn't "profitable" not that capital owns the means of production. Girlie you are a liberal that got caught up in a narrative designed to distract you from an ongoing genocide.

first boss for my roguelike is suitably sad
code comments:
//This cowboy is infected with nightmares that come real. 
//He can teleport because he moves like in a dream
//most of what he sees is from his past in war, there were a lot of bullets
//weaponry spawns, explosions happen, all of which only damage the player
//[bad cowboy boss] survived and hates it, he lost all his friends
//the other cowboys in the world all look like him because they're figments of his imagination
//wearing their uniform hats, his old friends come back to aid him, and die all over again

The game has an opening, a story, some cool music that I wrote and some voice acting I did, and it can go through a few levels. upgrades are buyable, there are sound effects, etc. need to work on formulas for difficulty expansion and better balance for items. #gamedev #roguelike #indie

Working on some procedural generation of roguelike levels. Currently the lakes spawn and modularly interact with each other (ignore the mess in the upper left), trees spawn, there are multiple types of collision so bullets go through or don't. road figures out fastest way to exit. #gamedev #indie

Trump Torches Forest Service, Ends Wildfire Research

Just as California endures its first wildfire of the season, the anti-science, pro-death Trump regime is shutting down most of the US Forest Service offices that research wildfires, High Country News and the NYT reported. The closures are part of a massive “reorganization” of the 121-year-old service that also includes moving the headquarters from Washington, DC to Salt Lake City, Utah, “the beating heart of the anti-public lands movement in America,” as Hatch Magazine put it.
