an observation: i think one of the elements of the ai tech bubble thing is a kind of reverse version of the expert's-hierarchy-of-reality thing, where people who work in a difficult field assume their field is the *most* difficult and all other fields are lesser 'easy problems' for them
Awww! Love to hear it
... hypothetically... which sort of Noh mask?
Oooh. Ooh ooh ooh. *research rabbithole commences*
What? Boooooo
I'm so glad you got to have all of that

different perspectives.
Ah, I'd wondered if it was just me watching the trailers, then watching the gameplay vids and going "oh, oh well, nope."
hm. more at, "well, we're all stuck here but we don't have to like each other", so idea of merging always felt weird at best.
'course, can't find anything in here anymore so who the fuck knows
if i have to hire a software engineer and i have to choose between a vibecoder and a “cartoon gooner”, i’m picking the cartoon gooner.
like, there’s a reason they don’t schedule SREcon the same weekend as FurCon
OK, but what if the first plan is what you're trying to do fundraising on?
Feels like it'd require the ability to admit to conceptual mistakes.
I feel like a good rule of thumb is to never tell a marginalized group you are not a member of if they should be upset about something.
Oh that's really neat, thank you!
Kinda... it's not my job to tell someone they're trans, but answer questions and provide context if asked? Sure.
I'm truly amazed at people.
Club level sports car racing (SCCA and the like) seems maybe less bad, or maybe sort of the vibe of "midwest nice" where people aren't going to make a kerfluffle.
Or maybe I'm oblivious.
I'm definitely looking forwards to trying to go to some younger/queerer leaning stuff this summer tho.
I absolutely love this as an example of multiculturalism, not the least because it's the tail end of winter and thus has been far too long since I've had homedone BBQ.
So much agreed... like, I know what America has been and is, but I love the America of its own mythology; those two you quoted and the glorious multiculturalism belief in them enabled.
An excerpt from a post from Elon Musk: "For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture."
Like many disingenuous or outright false arguments, this one (in which the Elongated Muskrat goes on to argue that America is about whiteness) begins with an almost-true statement.
More accurate to say:
"For a [community] to survive, there have to be [some shared beliefs, values, and objectives]."
Yup.
I bought two! 😁
Darn, will try to work on review today.
Then he shouldn't be looking. 😁

I don’t make this request lightly, but Joanne and Lori literally saved my life. They gave me a place to run to after I suffered a serious DV assault. Now they need help, and I am asking anyone who can do so to please contribute. Thank you.

Huh what.
... oh, just kinda sketching out ideas what a 1st gen Firebird would look like widebodied... you know, for no particular reason. 😁
Hmm. Muscle/punk? Dunno. Much to ponder
God, fr
You know what'd be an awesome, trans-positive, queer book to read? Nameless, my new cyberpunk novel, which is NOW OUT in DRM-free epub, paperback, and hardcover!! I'm so excited for y'all to meet Satya and Dan and the crew!
