London is full of excellent amazing things but they’re spread out over an absurdly large area so it’s such a pain doing anything. And everyone who lives there is so numb to it! They’ll happily indulge every day in 3-4 hours of public transport as if this is a rational way to live.
I’m very happy that they have a reasonably decent transit system, but fuck me I wanted those 4 hours in my life actually.
I would recommend Everspace 2. It’s quite a different game, it’s a space dogfighter first and foremost… But it’s also somewhat a light RPG looter shooter. It’s great, and still recieving updates (slowly).
I mean if you don’t like replacing gear for similar stuff with better stats I don’t think looter shooters are for you haha! The story is pretty basic but I do enjoy the random dialogue you get when just flying about once you’ve unlocked HIVE
Could be analysing 4 band imagery with an NIR layer. But then that usually comes from satellite imagery so it would make identifying gender challenging. I’d struggle with just a grainy image of the top of someone’s head, even if I knew how warm it was.
Everything? That’s pretty impressive. I wonder how many illegal things you could realistically pack into your day… There are many inefficient legal things involved in my day, it would be tricky to make them all illegal. If I steal a lot of stuff in advance maybe then using it becomes sort of illegal? Tricky.
alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang).

The annoying “letter” paper size is for some unknown reason what windows always sets as the paper size unless I change it to A4 manually. Naturally if I forget the printer won’t print. US paper sizing - annoying me on the other side of the Atlantic.
Well that depends on if gayness is a continuous or discrete quantity. If gay comes in very small but distinct indivisible units, the minimum could certainly be just 1 of these units.
Considering bisexuality and demi sexuality I suspect that attraction is what we are measuring, not just gayness. Perhaps even attraction along two dimensions - romantic and sexual. This has interesting implications considering that gender itself exists as a spectrum with multiple dimensions of its own, at very least expression and identity, perhaps sex should be incorporated too which further complicates matters…
Nonetheless, I don’t believe that any of this precludes our units of attraction from being discrete… I will concede that it’s probably more likely, if there is some kind of fundamental attraction particle, that it has comparable properties to the photon.
I’m considering that each of these attraction particles (furthermore referred to as attractons) exists as excitations in the gender/sexuality field. Thanks to wave particle duality we can have a quanta of attraction with continuous possible amounts of attraction associated with each - just like the photon’s variable energy.
I have diagnosed ADHD and maybe a little spicy hint of ASD but who knows. I end up somewhere in the middle, I explain things very quickly in lots of words and communicate almost nothing.
It’s a r/bonehurtingjuice meme (a little like an anti-meme, but bonehurtingjuice takes memes and recontextualises them).
The original comic it’s referencing shows an air hostess asking someone to turn off a tablet for takeoff. An older man, holding a book, chimes in with ‘I guess I don’t have to turn mine “off” eh? Ha! Heh heh.’
The laugh in particular is so off kilter and strange it became a meme in itself, a very persistent one used in tons of other bonehurtingjuice memes.
How do you figure that? Also “hermaphrodite” is not the accurate term - that would refer to an organism which creates both gametes, which humans never do, even intersex ones.
No one who has even a vague understanding of present day ML models should not even entertain the idea that they are sentient, or thinking, or anything like it.
Good thoughts, I agree wholeheartedly in most cases. There is a point to be made about the energy consumption of AI, too. Right now I doubt that we’re actually getting as much out of it in really value as we are pumping in, just in sheer electricity.
Well I’m not surprised to see that Neom is going wrong in both stupid and horrifying ways. This particular part will make it hard to be too smug about it with the Saudi fanboys though… This is just sad.
Not just that, but don’t acknowledge that it is a masquerade. Wrestling is “real” in that the performers and fans act like it is, even though everyone knows it isn’t.
They find funds and provide marketing, which is astonishingly expensive. I’m not in games, but I do work in a marketing adjacent function. The budgets needed even to do very small marketing exercises are really unbelievable. Campaigns exceed my yearly salary regularly, and we are not doing anything like consumer marketing which I imagine is significantly worse.
Not to justify publisbers’ behaviour, but this is partially why they have such stringent demands, I suspect. I assume they are getting some kind of funding or something from the PSN connection, which funds both the game and the marketing needed to make it a success.
Obviously there’s quite a difference between fucking a cow and artificially inseminating one… But IVF is consensual, I think everyone would have a problem if a doctor was forcibly inseminating women.
Yeah, I was initially invested in the whole meta narrative, but when we wiped out the bots and they just… Came back again lmao, I lost interest somewhat. I’ll still dip in here and there, it’s a fun game, but I would have liked to see the campaign be more emergent and the missions actually reflect what’s happening more.

The article would be a lot less convincing if it didn’t present the clear evidence provided by those games. They are important in this context because there aren’t a lot of games like them coming out today.
This is great! I have never had much time to pour into it, and tbh when season 4 came out I pretty much dropped the game because I felt like I wasn’t going to be able to play enough to make it feel worthwhile. Now I can go back to the start and just pick away at it! Brilliant!
You can also force them with a bucket and they taste sweeter (supposedly). But if we’re feeding them to the geese then I’ll stick to making wine from the flowers
“The quotation opens on one paragraph,” the commenter explained, "but is sufficiently long that it needs to span over more than one. The quotation marks do not close at the end of the first paragraph.
“The quotation resumes on a second paragraph, with a corresponding open quote mark. Once the quotation is complete, the mark is closed at last.”
