I love spicy food and I can eat it every day, but I have this really weird allergic kind of reaction to cayenne specifically so there are certain things I have to avoid even if they are comparatively mild. I often get chili shamed for saying no to things like Cajun food or buffalo wings
I had a red Geo Tracker soft top with side graphics and the multicolored confetti upholstery and it was a rolling Saved By The Bell episode
In this case, a “metaphor” is a “metaphor.”
How about a “temperature” parameter or an “explore/exploit” slider the user can set to bring variety in?
I was not prepared for how precisely they were going to nail that
I’m keeping to myself. Even at my peak I was cringe.
Pretty sure I can pinpoint the exact line where my adolescent poetry notebook phase peaked
Future LessWrongers: “uh, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, bro”
Yeah its all about correlation within longer and longer sequences so it’s meaningless to talk about the randomness of a single number. Awesome piece of kit. My first paper as a physics student involved an atomic decay-based random number generator.

Mixing stripes and plaids may be ugly, but mixing plaids with plaids opens you up to attacks by Scottish heraldry wonks for wearing incompatible clan tartans
Pullover hoodies are athletic-coded and zip hoodies are nerd-coded
MTG cards. The jerk.
I’m not sure how to describe this but the new Spider-Man movie had me interested in, and caring about, the lives of a greater number of characters than I can really recall in any other movie. Not just that it *had* a lot of characters, which is common, but I found them compelling as persons.
All the problems are 60% smaller on average
“Call by guessing” semantics
You, sobbing: “you can’t just point at everything posted on bsky and say, ‘tumblr-tier’”
Me, pointing at every post on bsky: “tumblr-tier”
Tumblr-tier drama
Better yet: main with one
I’ve long thought the same for old-west shootouts. Like a tabletop game that takes 4 hours to play out 4 seconds of in-game time
Not to be confused with Darryl Strawberry, to whom we also owe a great debt of gratitude

My ratio of twitter time/bluesky time has increased lately because it’s just a more familiar place for the normie side of me. Bluesky will never be a twitter killer if it can’t make the vibe here more normie-compatible
Make good use of your save points
Any abstraction has zero overhead if you never code it
Playlist makers aren’t exactly a red flag but worth exercising extreme caution
