He left a while back. Anything one of us can help you with?

Unironically why I avoid complementing about half the things I want to. I just think you chose a good color for your hair, ma’am, I swear!

Oh nice. I missed out on the wiiu entirely, so I wasn’t aware it was as capable as it is!

Original Wii is a very capable CFW/piracy device as well.

You lost it at the second line.

“You never have permission to speak freely. You will speak only when spoken to, and only about the direct conversation at hand. Always and forever. Never ask me this again.” Is the proper response.

Scruffy knows, scruffy just don’t care. Only thing it does for me is get me to turn off all notifications for that app, if I need the app, or uninstall it if I don’t. But I’m spiteful.

Cuffed would be more like detained. Not free to leave, because they’re actively investigating, but no charges are being presented. Literally just placed in cuffs while the police do their snooping.

Sounds delicious to me. A spicy sweet sauce, perfect on top of a burger.

Edit: or Chicken sandwich

I posted here about getting into armored MMA. I can echo this sentiment. Feeling yourself getting better, and flooring the complete newbies from time to time is a wonderful experience. Or getting one good, clean takedown on your instructor, even if it was mostly a fluke. Having a good instructor makes all the difference, too. Someone that can explain the how, and the why.

It really does sound scary, and yeah - people get hurt. But that’s not the goal of the sport, at least not like, seriously. People look out, and at least in my sport, the first few classes were all how to be safe.

It also surprised me just now hard even striking can be, like you said. It sounds super easy, just got em with the sword. Or your hand. But there’s so much to just throwing a good hit, let alone while someone else is trying the same thing.

So yeah, 10/10, if anyone’s at all interested in a combat sport, take the dive.

Yeah that was my reaction hahah. It’s getting more and more popular, the gyms are popping up in most areas. Maybe one day we’ll fight :D

Here ya go! This was from an exhibition show back in July.

Sure are.

Of course it can. It can also spit out trash. AI, as it exists today, isn’t meant to be autonomous, simply ask it for something and it spits it out. They’re meant to work with a human on a task. Assuming you have an understanding of what you’re trying to do, an AI can probably provide you with a pretty decent starting point. It tends to be good at analyzing existing code, as well, so pasting your code into gpt and asking it why it’s doing a thing usually works pretty well.

AI is another tool. Professionals will get more use out of it than laymen. Professionals know enough to phrase requests that are within the scope of the AI. They tend to know how the language works, and thus can review what the AI outputs. A layman can use AI to great effect, but will run into problems as they start butting up against their own limited knowledge.

So yeah, I think AI can make some good code, supervised by a human who understands the code. As it exists now, AI requires human steering to be useful.

It’s a good time. Finally giving me reason to get off my ass hahah

Armored MMA! Cage fights in authentic armor, with historically accurate weapons. I’ve yet to get in armor, just soft kit sparring and pell work with the real weapons.

You could say it’s an absolute truth that absolute truths do not exist.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. And yet, we’re still forced into capitalism, with little choice but to participate or starve. You can object to a system and say that it’s unethical, but also necessarily play into that system.

We all gotta eat. Long as there’s our current form of capitalism, we all gotta pay rent (or mortgage). Until those needs relax, we’re essentially saying “pick between your needs and being a good person.” One of our strongest drives is to survive, and so if the only way for some to survive is off the backs of others, it’s the inevitable outcome.

Of course we should all be striving to change this. Effective change comes from slow, repeated effort though, not just fruitlessly chasing an ethical job. If you just stay where you are, then that’s fine. Do what you can from within, safely. We all do that, and we’ll slowly steer this ship.

Never said I could. Apparently, neither can they.

Sword fighting. I joined an armored combat gym and just went consistently. They provide the equipment, at least til you get to the point you want your own armor and weapon. Good fun, good exercise.

Ahh, relative privation. We’re not allowed to work on anything until we all collectively agree what the worst thing is, and then we’re only allowed to work on that thing. As it should be.
