That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can’t be conscious. They’re only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.

The LLM companies will make the LLMs say anything to not go bankrupt, though.

You’re travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land where Jack Handey voices Cookie Monster. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

A society requires its health, access to leisure, and the time to pursue their betterment in order to visit museums and internalize the lessons of history. The United States has reserved realization of these essential human needs for the upper class.

We require such leisure to discover the capacity and motivation to better understand ourselves, those around us, and our collective material circumstances. Without that freedom museums become mere mausoleums until their intended visitors regain the humanity we were contractually coerced to forfeit.

If I wanted to introduce someone to the genre then Empires of the Undergrowth would be my first recommendation.

The gameplay, narrative, and progression mechanics are top-notch. The developers understand what makes RTS mechanics compelling and have designed systems that are more intuitive and accessible for everyone.

For instance (no spoilers) unit groups are built-in to base management. No hotkeys or group micro management required. It happens automatically as a functional result of more obvious concerns.

My only critique of the game, if I were forced to offer one, is that the UI can seem a bit clunky at first. That aside though the team’s expertise and care shine through in ways which prove the user experience was well considered throughout development.

It’s fun, too!

Oh, buddy. Ooooof.

I was ignorant but curious.

She’s got a Doctorate of Philosophy in English Literature from Oxford, is a feminist author, and conspiracy theorist. At a glance I can understand why she’s developed a reputation of a certain color.

Care to share any specific grievances?

Pole nuts, as it were.

If you haven’t seen it I’ll recommend you give Devs a watch. It’s a compelling take on a similar theme.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

Palm oil is used to stabilize the product. Palm oil is problematic for environmental reasons. Similar to other foodstuffs farmed industrially there are other ethical problems as well.

The concerns often expressed for peanuts, palm oil, and other foods high in saturated fats, are mostly related to purported health effects related to their consumption. i.e., people think they’re bad for you to eat. Whether they are or are not is still deliberated and, I think, quite beside the point.

We need to stop shoving palm oil into things.

It is also a sexual innuendo.

Just 3D print a save icon (thingiverse).

Okay, hipster. Got any substance under that snark?

I’d argue that isn’t even dark humor. The joke’s focal point is how ridiculous your mother’s position is. You’re taking up an untenable and patently absurd position in faux support of the initial absurd position. That’s ridicule. Now I will grant that lampooning a rhetorical opponent’s position can lean “dark”. Unless the punchline relies on taboo for the heavy lifting though it isn’t crossing that line.

You didn’t say anything offensive or taboo. You criticised someone’s bad take using contemptous analytic hyperbole. I grew up with this kind of humor in my family. It was mostly used as a learning tool which avoided direct confrontation of idiocy while allowing the temporarily embarassed idiot to save face, realize they weren’t thinking clearly, and choose to be in on the joke at their old self’s expense. There are other choices, or course, but if you chose to die on mount stupid then you’d better expect to get buried underneath it as well.

Your family doesn’t seem to be receptive to that brand of social therapy. That’s ok. My point is more to encourage you that you didn’t do anything wrong (and that it’s even normal to joke like that elsewhere).

Your mom might not think you’re funny… But I do!

No, silly, you’re thinking of Ken from MXC (and right you are, Luddite). Schwifty-Five is just a song.

What problem are you attempting to solve?

How to you imagine this solution solves that problem?

I’m a fan of NestedText. It’s no panacea but I’d argue it’s the most well-considered and useful file format for structured data in plain text.

Bears are notoriously scarce this time of year in places where most bears are. I suppose it’s also generally difficult for worms to find things. Ever asked a worm for help finding your keys? They’re terrible at that.
