Lover of foxes.
TTRPG nerd, to the point I do infrastructure work in the TTRPG industry.
I do lots of oddball things here and there. Gunpla, music, 3D printing/making. I'm apparently on a retro games thing lately, too.

How do those metrics stack up against in-office workers over the same span? I know, personally, I'm struggling because of the whole world being on fire.

I will even give them the notion that there is a skill to describing things to get what you want, but it’s the same skill as corporate types and the unimaginative have been giving to actual artists and creatives for ages, and those people have never been artists, so why would we start now?

It’s not about abortions. If they stopped, the right would just keep finding other ways to attack.
I’ve been outside a clinic where people harassed those coming out as baby killers. They didn’t even perform abortions at that clinic. These are the people we’re dealing with.

Yes this thing that is explicitly barred by the law kept happening.
There’s a lot more to their work.

I love what @npr.org used to be. Then you decided that "both sides" of every moral issue of our time is equivalent and deserves equal time to influence the masses using the dollars I've donated. Matters of rights shouldn't be getting equal air time. It's not left/right, it's right/wrong.

Or just when you hit some age. That's always been the big thing for this stuff. Give one to everyone, no issues, no cost, boom, we have working, useful voter ID.

Meanwhile, anyone with a brain goes “oh a new halal place? Awesome” because every halal place I’ve been to has had great food.

Exactly. There isn’t a fully clean way, so we lean on how much he obviously loves his daughter.

I don't think there's a clean way to handle this, so as long as the intent is good, have at it.

I know this is hard to grasp, but being cruel to those on death doesn’t actually make the world any better.
That’s not even getting into the fact that quite a few people in prison are themselves victims of a broken system.

If you believe something that so frequently ends those we know to be innocent - and not always after the fact - then your beliefs do not matter in a civilized society.

That's just them getting what they asked, though.

It can tell you all about how those things feel, but it doesn't know any of them. It only knows how to use the words of others. It can't create.
If I spend years crossbreeding a variety of flower, isn't that more interesting than blending together all the flowers and making a statistical mold?

It doesn't know how fear of being outed feels, it doesn't know what it feels like to buy a house after thinking you're never going to make it anywhere, it doesn't know the pleasure of laying in bed with someone you give a shit about, because it can't do any of those things.

I'm writing because I want to connect with other humans, with my own creations. I read because I want to appreciate the work and creation and creativity of another human. It's that simple. AI has no life experience. It has never felt its heart break, because it doesn't have one.

That's not what he says. He says she has nine years left.
In 9 years, the paintress will paint 24 on the obelisk, and everyone that age or older will poof out of existence.

This is correct, she's canonically listed as 16 somewhere.

I wonder what the noise floor is on these. Basically you have to account for some proportion of people just doing dumb things like lying, answering at random, etc, to really get a good sense of things.

There are lots of e-reader options that aren't from Amazon, and I *really* love mine.
You can also break the DRM from most bookstores (the DRM @bookshop.org uses is broadly unbreakable, but their DRM-free offerings are, well, DRM-free) to put on.

And you know that the very moment you prove them wrong you’ll be accused of “performance” and of “reducing women to work”.

Yeah I should totally keep in contact with the woman who refused to tell me my father had been hospitalized until she got her way, who demanded things that left me mentally useless for days while I have a demanding job, who demanded I make friends then chastised me for having friends.

Yeah, the town I grew up in had a real strong “country folk are the only people who matter” vibe, even 20 years ago.

You have to be actively not paying attention to think Dems, as a party, haven't been champing at the bit to drop queer people to pick up a few shitty votes.

It's also possible to be the victim of a horrible tragedy and have absolutely no moral claim to deciding what should happen to the person who hurt you.

Meanwhile, in Memphis, there was a woman whose murderer was only on the street because they weren't taking testing sexual assault tests in a timely matter seriously. He literally would have been back in prison, unable to hurt here again, but that never mattered to most people.

There's a lot more going on that just what party is involved. There's more transphobia than I'd expect for how broadly ahead of us you lot are, for example.
comment in response to

In some ways, you're still ahead, in some ways you're about on par, in some ways you're either behind us or have lost more ground than we have (though a bunch of those are because we didn't have much ground to lose in the first place).
