It’s carbon dust, which your body is pretty good at dealing with, and in quantities so trivial you probably already inhale more currently than you would using a pencil in an otherwise mostly sterile spaceship (at least sterile compared to earth)

Keep in mind this is the absolute funniest he has ever been. A pun with a punchline and no setup.

The best he has ever done is get 50% of the way to a mildly funny joke. With his trademark inability to read the room on top !

(and don’t tell me that’s because he’s autistic. I’m autistic, we’re disadvantaged in this domain but we can learn to do it all the same. He either doesn’t know or doesn’t care, most likely the latter.)

Those substances are empathy multipliers, unfortunately multiplying 0 always yields 0…

If his brain doesn’t possess the ability to empathize, there’s nothing for those substances to enhance.

100% unconditional intolerance for fascists. You can’t give them a millimeter or they’ll take the entire country.

I suggest watching Thought Slime’s recent video if you wish to know how to effectively counteract fascists.

The gist is that you shouldn’t try to argue with them, they don’t care about reality. Don’t let them look reasonable by arguing as if they were, insist on pointing out they’re being assholes (which they are) and that anything they suggest is so obviously wrong it doesn’t even need to be explained why it’s wrong (which is true).

I believe he may be quite surprised soon when people don’t buy it.

The future for the (very few) legitimate uses of AI is small local models, like we’ve been using for a decade without the buzz.

Those huge models are a nice novelty, and that’s about it.

As true as this may be, the fascists don’t care.

If they ship it without DRM, they could label literally anything an “Old Game” and that’d be fine by me.

One day you’re talking about a random topic while your phone is next to you and the following day you notice ads start popping up related to that same topic.

Joke’s on them ; I haven’t seen an ad in the last 5 years 😆

Being able to see during ocular saccades. I was surprised to hear in so many videos “your brain blinds you because it would be nauseating”

No it’s not ? It’s just blurry.

Also, apparently some people can’t consciously control the focus distance of their eyes.

This is how you find out your profile’s bad.

I don’t know how applicable this is to this persons specifically, but here’s some general advice from someone who’s been on both sides (I’m trans), and got a high amount of matches either way.

Every woman I’ve spoken to about Tinder agrees :

• Men overwhelmingly have profiles with little to no info in their bio (most often copy-pasted jokes, extremely generic facts like “I like food and music”…)

• And poorly taken and/or cringe photos (posing with their car, half drunk with half a dozen other people, making a weird face, showing off nonexistent gains…)

If you want more matches, you need good pictures (not blurry, not from far away, not backlit) that stand out from the rest (especially, no one cares about your car. An expensive car is a huge douchebag redflag), and a bio that actually says something about your hobbies, world view, etc.

So, in summary, two steps :

• Actually be an interesting person (probably already true, but hard to fix if not)
• Communicate that properly (easier than you think, see above)

That’s fair, I think this could be allowed by authorizing those ads to be placed by local cinemas, concert halls, and museums.

That would also mean a film’s marketing has to pay cinemas directly to advertise in-town through them, which would be a source of revenue for them !

I personally think physical advertisements in the city should be limited to local businesses only.

And of course, no ads by the motorway, although that’s already the case here in France.

Next time they’ll “invent” using a compiled language in the first place

I’ve never been much of a beach person, although my main issue is the heat, so that should be fine this time of year.

But the forest sounds nicer to me, the flowers are just coming out right now and there are many birds ! All the greenery is also very relaxing, plus there’s a chance to see some more wildlife (perhaps a deer ? Thankfully, wasting disease hasn’t reached the local population !)

The only two other possible endings to this were :

1. The locals kill him
2. The locals kill him, but also get some illness they have no immunity for, and they all die.

We have our turf wars but we’re all secretly friends. Friendly competition keeps everyone motivated !

Arch Linux !? Libel ! Real trans people use NixOS 😎

Never had to use state so far, so I don’t know. Makes some sense for a personal config I guess, but afaic it’s never been necessary

I do ! I use NoScript in Firefox, and I allow scripts selectively when they’re needed. You’d be surprised how many websites just work with everything off !

This may differ depending on your usage, though. I don’t really use in-browser apps if at all possible, and I don’t use conventional social media aside from YouTube and Reddit (PeerTube and Lemmy are better but there’s still too much info / people on the corporate versions to fully switch over)
