It's almost impossible for a public figure to win a defamation case. If you ever hear of that happening, pay attention, because it probably means the defendant was an absolute shit bag.

Cardi B won a defamation case a while back. That one is a pretty good example.

New DnD artifact dropped.

Oh, they did. Telling if someone was really dead was difficult until modern medicine figured it out in the last century or so. People got buried alive by unwitting village elders all the time.

Fascist trap themselves on this all the time. If they're competent, they will either run far away or work to undermine you. If they're loyal, then they won't be very competent.

Fascism is a lot more fragile than it looks on the surface because of issues like this.

New pope gets elected, and then the believers will say it was misinterpreted the whole time. This is the standard way.

We all know how AI has made things worse, but here's some context on how it's outright backwards.

Early search engines had a context problem. To use an example from "Halt and Catch Fire", if you search for "Texas Cowboy", do you mean the guys on horseback driving a herd of cows, or do you mean the football team? If you search for "Dallas Cowboys", should that bias the results towards a different answer? Early, naive search engines gave bad results for cases like that. Spat out whatever keywords happen to hit the most.

Sometimes, it was really bad. In high school, I was showing a history teacher how to use search engines, and he searched for "China golden age". All results were asian porn. I think we were using Yahoo.

AltaVista largely solved the context problem. We joke about its bad results now, but it was one of the better search engines before Google PageRank.

Now we have AI unsolving the problem.

Can't even lick pussy anymore without getting microplastics in you. IS THERE NOTHING CAPITALISM WILL LEAVE SACRED?

Facts shouldn't get in the way of a good regime change.

Reduce them later. Tell your boss you found a 2x speedup.

Propaganda to support the new Gondorian dynasty.

Some brain cells cobbled together from stem cells that have his DNA. None of the life experiences that made his music. You could likely get similar results with the same technique using the DNA of any random person on the street.

There's some servers using SSDs as a direct extension of RAM. It doesn't currently have the write endurance or the latency to fully replace RAM. This solves one of those.

Imagine, though, if we could unify RAM and mass storage. That's a major assumption in the memory heirarchy that goes away.

Acme-brand Beyonce?

TIL boobs look bigger on CRTs

If you don't have an especially long commute, good chance you're between 12k to 15k per year. That's a typical yearly amount, and leases are usually set around there.

13k in six months is about twice the average.

Why are pro-natalists so creepy?

Implication is that there are things about as bad as asbestos that should be banned, but aren't.

I didn't say spout more bullshit, I said fuck off.

I didn't say justify your behavior, I said fuck off.

Maybe I have a shred of consideration for people besides myself. I'll be hostile because these things should make you angry. You're an awful human being.
