And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

A picture of a bottle of wine sitting on a kitchen counter. The wine is called DRACULA wine and the label has a picture of fuckin Dracula doing the cape over the lower face move. The bottle of wine has a gorgeous little red satin lined Dracula cape hanging around its neck. Judge not lest ye be judged

If you put waterfalls in your game and there are no caves behind any of them, your game is instantly worse than it could have been

the "which do you like better, these three sentences from AI or from a classic" reminds me of the Pepsi Challenge. People genuinely did prefer Pepsi for one sip, because it's sweeter. But they strongly strongly prefer Coke overall, because no one wants sickly sweet for an entire bottle

Listeners might recall Nick's story in episode 16 (s2e4) in which a young Australian man fell into a coma and eventually died after eating a slug on a dare--a slug he didn't know was infected with the parasitic rat lungworm. (1/2)

One thing that gives me hope:

Gulf War I: kids put American flags in dorm room windows, listened to Toby Keith on repeat

Gulf War II: Adults I knew talked about enlisting so they could β€œgo kill terrorists.”

Gulf War III: I have yet to meet a single real person who thinks this is a good idea.

I think the funniest part of this for me is that Amazon itself is represented as a glowing sun studded with bleeding eyes like a biblically accurate angel

Jesus, just had to do 2 captchas in a row to log into an account, but it took me 12 tries because the stupid clanker couldn’t tell the difference between a street lamp and a hat. I am so tired of dumb computers replacing the smart ones we already had!

Gotta love how academic books don't earn you money, but LLMs can make money off of stealing them in the aggregate and if you write enough, they can also profit from stealing your personality after you are dead.

I guess it’s better than how we do it over here, where they tell us what we want and when we protest the media calls us violent thugs for not acknowledging that we want what they already told us we want? Your way sounds less confusing.

I think they got four for this one. Apparently there is more to the story, though the quirkiness will continue to be a feature

Just watched it. The reviews were through the roof. It was quirky, as advertised, but the police stuff was just dull. Maybe the story gets more interesting.
