My Friendly Neighbor hood is mascot horror, but played entirely straight. It’s resident evil 4, but with all of the zombies replaced with puppets.

I’m still using it for now, but I’ve started using other platforms as well to ease the the inevitable transition

If you look at the history of Life on Earth, mass extinctions, are actually kind of routine. Everyone knows about the meteor and the dinosaurs, but there are also 4 other times in history where 85% of species died, and it’s really starting to look like this might be about to see another.

The reason that Africa is the only continent with so many giants animals, is that humans hunted almost all of the native mega fauna everywhere else extinct.

I wonder how much of that is just an inherent part of how neural networks behave, or if LLMs only do it because they learned it from humans.

Oh my god yes! future generations will be shocked that it took us that long to solve that particular typography problem.

This is obviously a bad idea, but part of me is really hoping that somehow it works and proves everyone wrong. I guess I just like rooting for under dogs

The idea of a purely contextual power up is a fun idea, and “wonder” is a good term for what’s been missing from recent 2D Mario games.

I mean, billionaires also trend towards the ghoulish, so maybe it’s appropriate?

I’d actually kind of love it if it became a common thing for some smaller sites to only be open on certain days of the week. It would make the internet feel a little bit more lively

Labels should be used like sign posts, they just help make sure we don’t get lost when we talk about complicated stuff.

I don’t really think it’s their fault either. most people are just regular people, and if everyone in their social group is saying something, it’s unreasonable to expect them to independently verify that particular belief unprompted. The internet exists, so self education and betterment is possible, but telling a dumb person to educate themselves isn’t much better then telling a depressed person to cheer up, or a fat person to eat less. ultimately a society can’t demand more virtue then it’s people possess. Sure, I give some blame to the opportunist jerks who take power where ever they can, but mostly I try to blame the flawed systems that allow those kinds of people to rise to the top in the first place, and I try to be as charitable as possible to those who are just caught up in something ugly.

I some time thaw frozen dumplings in the fridge, and then eat them cold on hot days.

agreed, regardless of whether or not it’s ethical to raise animals for meat, the way we currently do it is an eldritch abomination where “cage free” chicken are kept so tightly packed they will peck each other to death unless debeaked, and where “cut from neighbors knife” is a common injury report at slaughterhouses.

on some level, scammers are deliberating targeting the easiest marks. If you send out millions of phishing emails, you’re looking to catch a dozen or so of the least tech savvy people you can.
