Ugh, seemingly Google Translate is using an LLM now because it's making non-obvious errors. Like, the translation reads more naturally but it's just wrong, with the old Translate it'd usually be obvious where things went wrong in translation, and that was really useful!

I do not want let a country into the EU that's arresting thousands of people for opposing a genocide and stripping away all rights for trans people.

I want unit types in programming. Let me specify this argument is an angle in degrees and this a distance in meters, then stop me when I accidentally switch them around or try to enter radians. This feels reasonable but I've yet to find a language that'll let me do that without a lot of jank.

It bothers me that the second thing you learn on many language courses is how to order at a restaurant. That's a lot of nouns when I can just point at a menu, and meanwhile I still don't understand 99% of sentences. Maybe it's a conspiracy to filter out those who aren't dedicated enough early on.

Companies whose entire business model relies on hiring independent subcontractors to do the actual work should be regulated out of existence.

I don't understand why people care about 'protecting the moon'. It's a very big rock, nothing we do to it will be noticeable, and there's no nature or people to protect. If space mining ever becomes viable we should do that over continuing to mine the earth.

Physical porn collections for teens to find are long gone, so is the porn channel with password 0000, the internet is starting to require age verification, sex ed is controversial, biology books probably aren't even risking naked diagrams/photos anymore, but at least teens have "grok, show me seggs"

Genuinely the worst thing I see on here that seems to get no pushback is quote/screenshot dunks for people not understanding a joke. Guess what? When hundreds of people see a joke, some of them are gonna be tired/autistic/ESL and miss the joke, you don't have to go and ruin their day over it.

I saw a video where a driver was pushed back into their seat from the acceleration and realized I've been missing that from movies because interior shots are almost always stationary cars in a soundstage.

I do not believe that a grand jury would indict David Hearn for vandalism without some foul play on the part of the DoJ, which we've already seen happen in other cases.

I hate confrontation but I'm also quite confrontational. Not out of principals or anything, I just can't keep my mouth shut when I'm angry.

Look y'all, I don't care about football/soccer, I just don't want Trump to give the FIFA cup to the US team. Neither Trump nor FIFA deserve that. Also glad we (Netherlands) lost to Morocco, we deserve that, as the police again proved by their beating Moroccans who were following their orders.

Look, I'm not at all opposed to striking Russian oil infrastructure, I would call that a valid military target. Though striking it in Moscow I imagine is also supposed to scare the Russians into surrendering, and that never works. Bombing never makes people more reasonable, it only angers them.

Why don't streamers put out the first three episodes for free to get people hooked? Works very well for youtubers and podcasters.

I'm getting a real AC next week, but in the mean time my mobile AC stopped working last night. Coming night is predicted to be the hottest night ever in the Netherlands and tomorrow will be 37 C. I am melting.

It's funny to me that dating employees is obviously bad but hiring your partner is generally accepted. There's an important difference there, I just don't really know what it is.

I hate that I'm now ordering "Plant based graded toppings" and "soy drink" because apparently "vegan cheese" and "soy milk" was "too confusing." Fuck this, nobody was confused before, it's literally just bullying vegan people.

A strong modding community is obviously fantastic for games, but funnily enough I don't think you get one unless your game is just a little bit shit. Like, if you're not getting frustrated or bored with the base game there's very little incentive to check out or create mods.

I'm only vaguely aware of the world where 'debate' constitutes quoting bible verses at each other and it's very funny to me. Though I suppose it's not much different from my world where 'debate' is misquoting statistics from some tiny study that has never been reproduced as if it's a fact.

I go for plant-based or vegetarian alternatives when they're available and especially avoid beef due to the outsized climate impact. And that's brought me like 80% towards being vegetarian for very little effort. You don't have to go all the way to make an impact.

I am everything that Scott Galloway hates and I hate him right back. How supposedly left-wing people take him seriously is beyond me. I like my life, let me fucking live it in peace. The only thing I wanna hear about Galloway is his obituary.

My stance on copyright is complicated. - Art is trivially easy to copy these days - Artists need money to live under capitalism - If anyone can freely copy art, artists have nothing to sell - A lot of art requires copying - Artists usually can't enforce copyright anyway - Death + 70 years is absurd

I think I'm just gonna start blocking Americans who use geography as their excuse for why the US can't have public transit, as if the geography is bad everywhere in the US and good everywhere else in the world, and also conveniently ignoring America's history of actively removing public transport.

Police recently surrounded my building (still don't know why, their dog barked for a while and then they left) and when one cop fell while hopping the fence and that was the funniest thing I saw all week. That was a horribly structured sentence but I don't know how to fix it, too much going on.

Ignoring artist intent and AI problems for a moment, DLSS 5 looks almost passable in stills, but it looks ass in motion. Characters look stilted, everything is overly bright, shadows disappear, faces stand out like road signs, and it all has the vibe of a budget documentary. It's embarrassing.

Occasionally there'll be an anti-trans bill passing in a state, and it'll be a horrific bill, but not as bad as it's made out to be. But saying that will read to a bunch of people like minimizing the terrible conditions for trans people right now, as people are understandably sensitive about that.

Wouldn't it be great if no subscription auto-renewed until you used it? You'd never need to cancel a subscription or think about if you use it enough. We could have that.

Military bases are of course a fair target in a war. So if you're hosting US bases in your country, then the US goes to war, you can't be surprised when that base gets attacked. Yet another reason to kick out US bases.

If you /truly/ believe the ICE kidnappings and war with Iran are meant as a distraction from the Epstein files, you should be warning everyone to back off, because the Epstein files are way less important. Stop framing every fucking horrible thing Trump does as a 'distraction'!

This is easy for me to say on the other side of the world, but I'm kinda surprised I've heard nothing of a US tax strike. Like, most of the good things have been defunded in favor of ICE, I kinda expected it to at least be on the table.

I think aliens would have arrows similar to ours. Pointy things aerodynamic, which gives them a clear directionality. And when I look at the wide variety of things we consider to be arrows, I can't help but feel any aliens would have overlap there.

It's weird and bad that nearly every country has a crime punishment reserved for immigrants. Let's just not banish people, that's not a normal punishment for the modern world. So no, I don't think immigrants who commit crimes should be deported.

Y'all, stop labeling anyone who fears some future bad as a doomer, regardless of how unlikely you think it is. Someone who has given up is a doomer, someone who's merely scared is not. You can in fact be scared and have hope.

I think one of the biggest benefits of not having term limits that I never see brought up is that you're less likely to make something the next guy's problem when you might be that next guy. For example, China actually fighting climate change. That said, I'm glad the US has a term limit right now.

If it takes Trump insulting the troops to get the European right to be anti-Trump, I guess I'll take it. Trump's killed so many people between USAID, ICE, vaccines, bombings, and Israel, and he's threatening war with Europe, but we draw the line at insulting our troops, apparently.

Anyone opposing fascism right now is my (sometimes reluctant) ally. Likewise, anyone appeasing the fascists are my enemy regardless of how much I might like them otherwise.
