I saw very, very few trumpists the last big one a few months back. 2020 was decidedly more mixed.

“Outdated theory” …. 🤦‍♀️ Your job isn’t to find some vague middle that gives weight to bullshit under the guise of fairness. Your job is to report the truth. And you’re failing.

People seem to think the Proud Boys are some elite fighting force. Generally speaking they're a bunch of drunk, out of shape 40 year old divorcees. They are not a fighting force. Proud Boys are best known for singling out femmes walking alone, skater kids, etc. So that's the danger.

My podunk coastal town had at least a 1000 show up and took over a mile of sidewalk. There’s only 40 or so thousand in the entire *county*

It was…. Mostly useless. He was indifferent and overloaded. He didn’t actually give us the full requirements for our term project until like 2 weeks before the end of the course and only after i basically led an intervention and he tried to squirm out if it.

Michael Mateas, I forget the name of the above game. He ran (runs?), the expressive intelligence lab at UC Santa Cruz where I went to grad school. Mostly it was focused on AI and interactive story telling but had some other areas too. Course was a seminar on game AI and story generation

Right? Also the glossy finished neck just sticks to my swampy hands. I’ve been wanting to try a status bass but those are thin on the ground….

More of a tinkerer than I when it comes to bass guitars! I’m all stock. I’ve been wanting to scratch build one sometime but uh, time is non-existent. Mostly just noodle on my stingray now and again these days. I like my p-bass tone, but just never could get it set up quite right.

This is totally missing the point but I took a class from the creator of that back in early grad school. (Abysmal teacher at the time, if a somewhat interesting person)
