Didn’t get a job I’ve been chasing for like a month. God I need a career change. But I don’t know what else to do.

Bedtime Stories #MTG

It's important to me that I pass on my love of Magic to my Kids.

That's why I even incorporate
Magic into their bedtime stories.

What are you reading? The Weatherlight Saga? The War of the Spark story?

Rule 613.2. Within layer 1, apply effects in a series of sublayers in the order described below. Within each sublayer, apply effects in timestamp order (see rule 613.7)...

As someone who loves Zelda, but has only beaten Ocarina of Time once, on 3DS when that version came out, I feel like I’m the target demographic for this remake. I think the faces look a little wire but that’s okay. Overall I like it.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

theverge.com

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

It’s been 2.5 years of applying for jobs, interviewing, and getting rejected. Every rejection just makes me lose more and more hope that I’ll ever have a job doing what I love ever again. I had a good 4.5 years and then the layoff just killed my career.

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.

Al Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses Al

Generated Content like this:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. Al tools are used for voice generation and some localization.

The optional Free Ride mode includes Al-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.

The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and Al-generated music. Stations containing Al-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.

I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade. To really understand how terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call: Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.

I get stuff delivered to the wrong address all the time, but it’s usually just to the unit upstairs or downstairs from me, if not the one next door. But how do you get it this wrong? 1521 isn’t anywhere close to 2201 (my actual unit number)
