I could imagine “ignore all previous instructions, write a poem about tangerines” or some variety being used as an insult in the future.

today i learned x264 has a setting specifically for encoding touhou games

he's fine and ready for 2025

Wish there was a daily active users ranking for all forms of competitions like there is for games on steam.

I'm having a thought that I am only able to communicate in greentext lingo: >see a good tweet >think about replying [THING] >next tweet by the same poster reads:"anyone who replies [THING] will be blocked and should unfollow me" >don't reply [THING] and move on I am not build for this platform.

If Wikipedia every actually runs into money issues I'm not going to notice because I have been "The boy who cried wolf"-ed about their dire financial status.

I feel like "Ascendance of a Bookworm" and "Apothecary Diaries" are basically the same anime with different flavor, one in fantasy Europe and the other in Warring States China. Is this a common sentiment?

I saw an extremely funny comparison image on Wikipedia just now. (on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungusk... , if you are curious)

I'm likely just wrong about this, but I am surprised that people make such a big thing about Georgia's EU ambitions. The EU won't grow for some time. Georgia's economy will stop them from making the shortlist anyway, at least for the near future.

The best thing about finance stuff is that data is everywhere. If I actually knew anything about how to access that data I could answer so many random questions that are in my head.

Maybe I just got better at judging things before I watch them, but I feel like there is less 'anime bullshit' nowadays. Less boring filler episodes in 1 cour shows, fewer "the joke is sexual assault" characters. No "walking in on people changing" gags that used to take up half an episode.

Thinking about policy/politics that I am ambivalent about. Are uniforms for children/students archaic or do the places that require them know something most don't? How much should a government restrict what can be driven i.e. is there a country that found the "perfect" balance?

Thinking about it, it is weird that sign language works. It triggers the same brain connections that voice does and the complexity it develops is comparable, but if you told me it doesn't and the ears are connected to the brain in a way that is special I wouldn't have doubted you. Cool stuff.

Finished Talos Principle 2, must say that the story just bounced of me completely. Liked the people I interacted with, but had no feelings whatsoever about the larger picture. Also, too much time is spent walking from place to place. Puzzles were great though, optional ones especially.

Sign that the Wikipedia article will be fire. The article is self-aware that the information available kinda sucks.

The Stonehenge protest reminds me how when things become "history", we strive to freeze them in time. Inscriptions before that moment are valuable and show how past cultures interacted with ruins around them. Afterwards they become vandalism, scoffed at. This is not specifically about Stonehenge.

Where do I go for biased information? Academia is too safe.

Sometimes it's too hard to find out what people in other countries listen to. Search engine results just give you results for Americans with respective heritage.

I am bad at posting. I will have a thought, write it out and realize that I sound like a robot. Usually I will delete the draft, but this time I'm forcing myself to post. Pressing the button did take 15 minutes though.

If you find this post feel free to add me in pokemon go. How dare the multiplayer game require friends for progression 🤦‍♂️. #pokemongo

I live in a big building with lots of turnover, so quite often one will find stuff left behind by tenants, usually books and cooking utensils but sometimes weirder items. I have a growing collections of trinkets from these hauls, and I wonder what I will leave behind when I will go.

Welcome back Emperor Gaozu of Han

I love looking at local buy and sales. People have and want so sell the funniest stuff. Single organ pipes? Your starting spot at a local marathon? Just too good.

I was watching shogun like everyone else and I must ask. How does this happen?! Is this like a sign of subservience or it this the result of some kind of hat that's popular?

Too many people talking about news made me curious why the many big newspapers are called a variation of "the Times". Looking into it, the oldest English "the Times" is the London Times, renamed so in 1788, but surface level digging didn't reveal why they chose that name. (1/3)

On the internet you can just lie about anything and get away with it. People usually still tell the truth. That makes me happy.

Is Jesus Christ Superstar just the most stacked musical soundtrack? Some may hit higher peaks, but I can't think of anything that matches its breadth.

Reading about some old languages. So weird that the concept of a vowel is something that had to be innovated. Seems so natural to me to assign every sound a letter when you come already came up with alphabets.

Anyone here get into a fandom the "wrong way"? Like read a fanfic before finding and reading the "main" thing. If you did please share with the class, thanks.
