hard to beat a good bagel... unless you're a pretzel roll

misinformation, slurs, incivility, off-topic content, and video links without text summaries

When AI is a tool it can help make art. When humans become tools of AI, it's no longer art.

I personally enjoy a lot of videogames that feature AI, especially roguelikes. I don't think there's any shame in using an automatic spell-checker. Autotune has helped make music better (and worse, any tool can be misused). Automatic subtitles, while not the most reliable, have allowed a lot of video media that otherwise would never have been captioned to become accessible to the hearing-impaired.

I wouldn't write off all new art out of fear of AI. But I also wouldn't read a novel written by AI, either; how did you even end up in that situation, OP? There's so much good literature out there and more every day.

I have sash windows, but I do love me some side-open crank windows.

Enderal brings the Skyrim Engine much closer to the Morrowind experience, for me, both in terms of story and exploration. It's refreshing to have an open world game that's dense and clearly hand-crafted instead of nearly empty.

I get that it's grimdark and punishes optimism and that's not for everyone, especially given the state of our real world right now. I'm a little bit spoiled on the ending and maybe I'll feel differently once I'm hit with by twist with the full weight of narrative behind it.

First paragraph: I see what you're saying and I think you're right.

Second paragraph: Even if you're right on this, and offhand I'm really not convinced you are because it seems like that neglects the possibility of collision, launching anything from the surface of a planet is a three-or-more body problem, featuring 1) the planet, 2) the star it's orbiting, 3) the launch body, and optionally a number of moons. But that's, ah, getting away from OP's question.

Still knocking around Enderal.

I'm an Eagle Scout. I don't just know where I am, I know which direction I'm facing and the elevation.

You can think of a parabola as a segment of an ellipse, yes.

But remember: A stable orbit forms an ellipse. An unstable one doesn't. And throwing an object from the surface of a planet is, sans incredible math or even more incredible luck, going to be unstable.

Because the punchline relues on subverting expectation explicitly, not implicitly.

I send them text messages if it's not urgent.

What kind of sociopath has their phone ringer on in 2025?

If I called, it was an emergency, and I can't answer the phone because I'm elbow-deep in emergency.

I can't speak to Brave, but a lot of us have been burned by Firefox before.

Anyone willing to do that probably needs the cash more than I do. Who am I to say? If I can spare it, I share it. If I can't, I still try to give a little of my time to recognize them as a fellow human being, because I know begging or just being destitute in general feels dehumanizing.

As a junior teacher, I taught summer school. The more senior teachers were doing continuing education. We all made lesson plans, prepared materials, and had mandatory professional development seminars.

...that's why.

/s it's a safety issue, kitchen workers aren't allowed to use them either

As a teacher: I don't get summers off.

As a waitress: Carrying food or drinks to the table is the least significant part of the job.

What's your opinion of the Designated Hitter rule in Major League Baseball?
