If by us, you mean American christians, then sure.

Wait... The very notion of the seven deadly sins is a Christian construct... It only really applies to us anyway...

Ah. My bad. Carry on.

Pretent

Before you tent.

Foretent.

Right you are g'vnor

Rock it like a Brit. Most things in metric except for your height (feet and inches) and your car speed (miles per hour) and when you measure your manhood (inches... Or fractions thereof).

Also, milk is pints.

Land is acres.

And the ponies run furlongs.

I mean, I did mean run but also, yes, windows 10 is hot AF.

My set up comfortably plays cyberpunk at dead fancy settings, but doesn't meet the system requirements for windows 11.

Yeah, I'm going to rub out windows 10 as long as I can (although I dual boot Debian anyway).

That's why it is stubbonky popular.

GODON

John Wayne Gacy feels snubbed.

I get it. We can't buy houses, we can't afford groceries.

Admittedly my parents couldn't afford a house and we often had to skip on groceries too.

But as a kid of the 80s, the thing that gets me is how these memes seem to ignore inflation entirely.

Yes those numbers are lower but so were wages.

And of course we can can talk about real terms wage stagnation, but poverty is timeless and the 80s were an awful and unaffordable time for a lot of people.

But yeah. Sure.

And yet he'll still get votes.

Whilst I've been waiting for this day for ages, it gives me no pleasure to realise it means very little.

Well, yeah, but we are going to need a couple of monocles.

Love how this has gone from "researcher at x university" to "tip from a friend of mine" in less than 48 hours.

That. That sounds like it, coupled with frustration and feeling a bit overwhelmed.

It is cool to be exhausted after work if it fullfills you and you enjoy it, but most folk need the gaps between to be themselves.

Just so you know, this isn't just an ADHD thing.

Most folk experience it and it's one of the main causes of burnout.

That said, it's always worth checking that you are getting enough vitamin d and that your thyroid is working right.

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.

The cup on the desk... Uh... Yeah that means something different in Scotland.

My experience with certain chemicals suggests this is true.

Massive spud of a human.

I mean, good luck trying to get this working in Northern Ireland too.

This is a classic Tory death rattle. Punish those lazy, entitled young people who, whilst not responsible for the 2008 crash (that was us and our banker mates) or the following years of austerity that ripped the heart out of public services whilst private services prospered (that was also us, but with our banker mates) or Brexit, an enterprise that spit the nation and has left us all worse off (again, us, but this time with our business and banker mates), it is those no good, molly-coddled young people with their funny hair colour and inability to buy houses, or food in some cases, that are the problem with the UK and we need to whip them into shape whilst we (who haven't been whipped into any sort of shape at all) continue to be in charge.

Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:

Prime and Mash / Kuru

Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.

Can we swap out the word "hallucinations" for the word "bullshit"?

I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as "someone down the pub said..."

So, "someone down the pub said you can eat rocks" or, "someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza".

Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.
