Men 30+ must have:
4 hobbies they've abandoned
1 hobby they're absorbed in but can never find the time for
A box of parts (wood, cables) keept around "just in case"
A trick joint or bad limb they injured years ago and never fully healed
Enough sense to not take "men 30+ must have" lists seriously

AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.

When I coined the term "Soylent Culture" with respect to AI-generated content over a year ago, this was exactly what we were prediciting: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

I'm short a few hundred dollars to be able to pay for my rent and bills, but I don't have the capacity to take on more commissions right now. If I can't pay the rent I'll lose my room and have to go to the shelter again. Any help is appreciated!

E0050 Streets Ahead - Implausipod Welcome to the Implausipod, where a wrong turn and a 20 minutes detour due to poor signage led to an inquiry into the evolution of autonomous vehicles. We'll examine how the idea has appeared in popul...

Finally! Managed to record a new episode of the podcast and get it released. "Streets Ahead" is about our fascination with self-driving vehicles in the 20th century, and how that's led to now. Check it out at select podcast apps, or at the following link: www.implausipod.com/1935232/epis...

It's rough, for sure, but I know you got this. If I can finish, anyone can. Took me 6 years while working full time to do it (like you, no funding), but it got across the finish line.

Can't wait to read it and see you with it done. πŸ‘ Good luck.

Luchasaurus is the only face in this match. Loving how pumped the crowd at #AEW #Wrestledream is for his return. This one's been a lot of fun.

Caught Tron:Ares last night, and found it to be a fun flick with amazing visuals, killer soundtrack, and a hopeful take on crossing the digital-material divide. Less dystopian that the Matrix movies. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, though the IFC disagrees.

Goddammit. Every major ideological or philosophical concern of our present horrifying age leads back to Karl Popper, doesn't it?

This is my roundabout way of suggesting that you read THE OPEN SOCIETY AND ITS ENEMIES very carefully. It's amazing to watch him hit Plato, Marx, and Hegel so hard.
