AI is kind of like a reverse Neon Genesis Evangelion in that older people are desperately thrusting themselves into machines that are destroying them, for no urgent reason, and younger people are yelling at them not to.

I don't think "finding common ground" with Republicans is a worthwhile enterprise but if you're going to try anyway, at least take a long look at how Tyler Cowen wrote tons of bad stuff about cops to a conservative audience for a long time.

If you are developing a New Admired Person, I think it helps to go ahead and assume they have had or will have one Pretty Bad But Not Irredeemable Plot Arc. It's healthy for expectations. Let a great researcher be kind of the bad guy in a small, silly very local politics squabble or whatever.

Sometimes I see people say "I don't even know that is and I don't want to understand it" when they do understand it and think it sucks, and it's frustrating and bewildering to me. Denouncing something is so much stronger than vaguely insinuating it's nonsense with a shrug and an "I dunno" thrown in

I loved playing it at launch but I mean, yeah, that Marathon player base doom loop kicked in a long time ago. Most can't just go pick the game back up after a while off at this point, I tried-forget muscle memory, I don't remember all 34 button locations for the back door into Pinwheel! Sorry!

A critical part of coming into a long-running tabletop RPG game with a new character is helping existing players understand your character, its probable dynamics within the group, and how much they're going to hate it.
The Vince McMahon falling out of a chair meme, inverted so he gets less excited as it goes down, with 8 descending stages.

Stage 1: The group has a cleric again, with plate armor.
Stage 2: It's only level 2.
Stage 3: It was made for a one shot and not intended to survive.
Stage 4: It's played be (me)
Stage 5: It’s a birthday themed character.
Stage 6: Its name is Annual Smallcakes.
Stage 7: It has birthday themed sayings and accessories.
Stage 8: The DM already accidentally called it “cheeks” instead of cakes so get ready for big beautiful butt cheeks jokes so long as it lives.

I spend some of my time helping people eliminate malicious or annoying bots affecting their thing, and I don't even know the details of what Bluesky does with that, but the general public is just never going to understand the nuance therein and be graceful, while also needing this service badly.

Just remembered when I was like 12 I requested rare killifish from an email listserv called KillieTalk and the guy sent them to me in a full insulated package for free and I gave them to my brother as a birthday gift and my whole family was delighted. Need to re-find that internet.

What's the best joke you've told in person that nobody got? I still think about ten years ago when someone saw the word "expansive" on a presentation slide and asked "what does that even mean" and I said "it's when you're southern and something costs a lot" and everyone was totally confused.

I am all for your TNGs and DS9s and other full olde school 20+ episode season era of TV series dropping in goofy novelty concept episodes. But Strange New Worlds is ten episode seasons. So season 4 is basically Jurassic Park, film noir, puppets, soap opera, and a little bit of Star Trek.

Most fantasy: Ah, I dare not move on my nemesis now. Perhaps a plan lasting an age of man or three, I shall put in the works... Malazan Book of the Fallen: While the assassin had only met the wizard an hour ago, he was kind of annoying, and so the assassin had resolved to kill him before nightfall.

A thing that has changed my gadget outlook a lot is buying a fridge last year and learning the newfangled disaster that ruined modern fridges is...the ubiquitous icemakers and common in-door ice and water modules! They break! The IOT and screen stuff you can simply not buy, it's fine.

Bluesky Reacher fandom is essentially a years-later replay of the initial John Fetterman fandom. "Oh, usually big tough guys are not the kind of guys I find likable but this one seems vaguely good!" So I guess in season 6 he's going to join Mossad or something?

I think I successfully sustain following people with diverse enough views and opinions that they're regularly in conflict, and the key to this not bothering me at all is simple: I don't believe I would necessarily like and commune with these people if I knew them in real life, and that's fine.

Phia says the cookie stuffing was a bug. Ben Edelman is not buying it. In this clip he explains why: the code was built, named, put behind a feature flag, and switched on for iOS only, not Chrome, where the testers work. A convenient bug, in his words. bit.ly/4wdz4j5

I've made some TTRPG adventures / modules people think are good. I'm going to keep at it, too. Cairn, so far. What I wonder is if there are any much more visual art and aesthetics oriented people in the space who would ever collaborate with the world's worst drawings and images maker, who is me.

I think it was fine for John Ossoff to go off on the Epstein class thing (first, months ago) even if now it has led to bad Graham Plattner stuff because when a shithead apes an alright person I still fully blame the shithead. Kind of a Mr. Bungle inspiring nu metal thing, hard to blame them.

I did not know that Fiscal Sankey Diagrams had become super popular and predictably used to misrepresent things and so a joke, and I feel obligated to stick up for them a bit by saying this is a major fall from grace, grace being when they were just for web / app behavior flows and we're not bad.
