If you're reading this, I'm already banned.

    When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes?

  • I can see them all, so maybe it's a federation issue?

  • Would the movie Donnie Darko be better without Jake Gyllenhaal?

    Jump

  • I don't think so. I can't think of another actor in that time that would have been a better fit for the role.

  • I still haven't forgotten that scene

    Jump

  • Nah, I'm pretty sure it's because they are swapping "th" for "þ" and it gives some... different energy. LLMs don't work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn't going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it's not even going to bother with "What’s þe scene from?" because it's not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren't being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.

  • What's your strategy to ensure date night goes well?

    Jump

  • Set up a pizza delivery the day before to ensure it shows up at the exact time I want it. Figure out a good movie ahead of time. Order a fresh bottle of lotion off amazon. Do some stretches with my wrists the day of. Light some candles. You know, the basics.

  • What is your internet White-Whale?

    Jump

  • There was an animated video, hand drawn, animated on the 1s and smooth as fuck. It was two orbs colliding and battling like they were atoms, and then at the end of the video it was a nuclear explosion. Or something like that. This would have been from like 20+ years ago back on Newgrounds or something, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

  • YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.

  • Where'd all the straight-edge people go?

    Jump

  • I work with three of them. Two fell off the wagon, and the third is one of the nicest people I know.

  • What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist?

    Jump

  • A nation of toddlers all screaming for something different and being unable to come together on a single point.

    Edit for the downvoters: Without parties, you'd likely face some serious problems.

    Coalition-building becomes nearly impossible. Right now, parties help aggregate different interests and forge compromises between, say, fiscal conservatives and social conservatives, or between labor unions and environmentalists. Without that pre-existing framework, every single issue would require building coalitions from scratch among hundreds of individual legislators.

    Voters would be overwhelmed. Instead of choosing between a few party platforms, they'd need to research dozens or hundreds of individual candidates' positions on every issue. Most people simply don't have the time or expertise to make informed choices at that level of granularity.

    Legislative chaos. You'd essentially have a legislature full of independents trying to form temporary alliances on every vote. Look at how difficult it becomes when even a small number of members break from party discipline, and now imagine that as the permanent state of affairs.

    Accountability becomes murky. Parties provide a way for voters to hold someone responsible for governance. Without them, when things go wrong, who exactly do you vote against?

    The irony is that even in a "no-party" system, informal factions and coalitions would likely emerge anyway, but they'd just be less transparent and accountable to voters than formal parties are.

  • What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

    Jump

  • This is the only bag I've bought. The first one came with my old camera, a basic Nikon bag. It was never meant for the gear I have, I've just been making it work.

  • What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

    Jump

  • I guess it was a new camera bag. I didn't need it, but I wanted it. Turns out, having a bag with a long enough strap to go cross body makes it a lot easier to lug around my camera, a handful of lenses, and my tripod for a few hours while I walk around. Totally worth it.

  • What are some methods of distributed civil disobedience for Americans?

    Jump

  • Exactly. Wouldn't want to catch cold.

  • Filling empty beer bottles with hand sanitizer. Pass them out at marches so people don't get sick.

    Let it happen when it happens. If you hype it, you'll just be disappointed when it doesn't come out when you expect it to.

  • The Roblox Predator Situation is Crazy

    Jump

  • That's just good wholesome fun.

  • What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?

    Jump

  • I don't carry cash on me. I'm mostly not lying. It's rare that I have any. I use my phone for 99% of my daily purchases.

  • GOG: 1 million claimed the Freedom to Buy Games bundle in 24 hours

  • Self-awareness is the first step to sentience.

  • Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago?

    Jump

  • I dream just as big. My path to realizing them has only gotten more narrow.

  • Try replacing "ai" with "cocaine" in all the posts you read about it.

    Jump

  • My kids have been using cocaine to finish their math homework. It's funny, their grades have gotten worse.

    I only code with cocaine now, it's so much faster.

    I read a book the other day that was written with cocaine. It was called Maximum Overdrive by Stephen King.

    ...wait.

    You have a time machine with a single round trip. You hate everyone. And you are lazy. What is the least you can do to completely screw over the world with your one trip through time?
