3·26 days agoIn what way?
Tastes good? You want more? Made from seaweed? Part of a hearty meal? A key ingredient used by restaurants that many home cooks don’t use?
That some people have unfounded claims about it having negative effects?
2·1 month agoI’ve seen that too, with some emphasis put on viewing the horizon… though where I grew up it’s very unlikely to see anything close to horizon-distance without being at a beach (mostly because trees… better than indoors sure but not much non-treetop distance to look at unless you’re looking across a field/farmland, or maybe a radio/water tower or something).
2·1 month agobecause the staggering output of AI models will not only make it increasingly unlikely that they will receive compensation for their work, but also that they will receive recognition for it
Don’t forget scraping. GH is already there with public repos, and even if you take a chance and go elsewhere (or don’t release source code) some tools are locked-in (too small to move or too large to move) so it has a chilling effect on growth/contribution.
I am there already. Albeit just starting out and the thing I didn’t share yet is just a simple sweeper clone (in a somewhat niche language+Godot bindings).
Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.
Also ‘boom’ sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
1·1 month agoYes is obvious, but I know what it’s like to get stuck on technicals with issues at every turn. Like this clip from Malcolm in the Middle with Hal trying to fix a lightbulb.
Not quite art, but I actually finished a project a while ago but can’t even share a game export of it because of a bug and I haven’t updated my system in a while because of different issues. And GH Copilot scraping makes me not want to upload my code to an example repo.
10·1 month agoAttacked by who? (INB4 Trump with the Lee Mack bit “By whom” EDIT: I may have got this backward. “I’m not answering it if you put an m at the end”)
This definitely sounds like some Franz Ferdinand event. EDIT: Maybe not though. “Sorry, force of habit.”
21·2 months agoYeah, definitely bots. A different one (an account called ‘nobody’) on that instance posted one to a community called Religious fruitcake.
The area around them was blighted and isolated- no community playground, parks, or shopping areas like a typical neighborhood. The community’s medical needs were addressed by pop-up clinics run out of a van
This also completely applies to areas of USA with less population density. Even for people with jobs.
Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a nonprofit provider of mobile medical clinics delivering free dental, vision, and medical care (as well as veterinary services when available) to under-served and uninsured individuals.
Founded by British philanthropist Stan Brock, it was originally conceived to treat people in the developing world, but turned its attention to those in need of health care in the United States
George Washington by Brad Neely.
Washington, Washington. six-foot-eight, weighs a fucking ton (VIEWER WARNING: He’ll save children, but not the British children.)
Also later in the song:
- “six-foot-twenty, fucking killing for fun”,
- “12 stories high, made of radiation”
I’m guessing if there’s any leg to stand on here, it’d be local with older content. An ‘item library’ at first (even if the physical copy is kept safe for archival, with only 1 rented-out copy).
For digital, it’d be local network. I know the PS3 had renting videos, so it could be interesting if stuff like that could be managed in that way (if it can be rebranded as its own distinct entity). I assume the problem would be no capability to rent a copy to 1 user, specifically when it comes to the storefront. Unless custom homebrew was made (waiting lists etc) to handle it properly.
And this would probably only work in an intentional community that has other reasons to exist. (personally I like the idea but don’t think it’d ever be an option for me… travel, living costs, lack of info online, etc)
Very questionable, unless of course there’s some illegal street racing involved which makes it very cool.
Sure, but I see it turned the opposite way: you can tell we don’t have magic because clearly there is stagnation where magic would strike deals (even with small, mutual, safe, local wishes).
I'm thinking something like
wish magic to ease human suffering/desperation is an incredibly lucrative businesses model within magic societies, though human business actions are also a devastating source of magic pollution/imbalance which feeds+attracts invasive magical wildlife (from beneficial dream moss to creatures best avoided). Unpredictable magical effects are noted to happen alongside extreme weather events, which is often just as dangerous to magical beings who are unprepared.
Some humans still decry even the nicest magic spells (and beings) as evil even after malicious spells were banned interdimensionally (in fact, it seems some humans are angry about that decision), but the most common of questionable spells just turns escapism into escape. The regulations are fairly strict and clear, and most modern wish casters draw from a vast sum of knowledge (both magical and human) to provide a more favorable return. Greedy wishes (if not outright ignored) pretty much always still turns out as you’d expect though.
The one thing that most humans fail to comprehend about magic in general is that it flows not unlike other natural forces, and that wish casters simply attempt to direct it. Natural magical forces often have a much better track record of influencing human affairs just by chance alone (it has been said that a summer amnesia wave prevented nuclear war last year, but this has not been confirmed as no one involved could recall that day).
(And yes, I know that probably hits some plot points of at least 4 of those anime cartoons and probably at least 1 Junji Ito story and/or older folklore. Or maybe it’d just be countless new episodes of… The Twilight Zone / The Scary Door)
If there’s any truth to that it’s probably related to the acidity of hotsauces (and maybe pickled peppers), particularly eating it without other food. Noodles, which I’d imagine take on the PH of the water, probably not so much.
A quick search says capsaicin can stimulate the production of stomach acid, so the kind of person who does something stupid with a pepper or sauce might do so on an empty stomach as well (which I’d say is another issue).
Honestly, with a fresh-water rinse I could easily see that being beneficial.
Consider:
- particle filters (or other cleaning steps)
- custom water treatment like a bath
- not just water, but recirculated heat as well
- better possible water pressure (weak well pump), heat control
Maybe even the type of thing that could run off of solar or backup power for a planned shower.
Though yeah, I guess a bath (with a quick shower after) probably is a whole lot cheaper and easier to (plumb rather than) engineer. Plastic tubs have their own grossness, though.
I also imagine this fitting more as some sci-fi thing, not sure how well it’d be easy to manage water in space, though. My first thought would be people annoyed with having to vacuum up droplets, get blasted with air, or being stuck in a drying room as a safety procedure. And some sci-fi vat bath might still make more sense.

Do you want me to get Moby Dick out again‽ Does anyone want that?
Today, stuff gets exported in 4k and that’s it. No need for anything more.
I don’t think it’s as ubiquitous as you think. 1080p is pretty much standard (aside from old videos), 4K is still high-end and most uploading to that on YT are probably more tech-leaning channels who actually do use it. I even see new stuff from TV corps that’s still only 1080p.
4K if you’re using a full-raster workflow is taxing at every step. Display, CPU/GPU (for software stability, filters/effects), RAM and storage, internet upload speed, also camera (and fast storage there too) where relevant. Also backups, and maybe even higher-res workflow to allow room to crop/re-frame if needed.
I imagine it must be a disappointment to actually buy a 4K monitor for content viewing, stuck watching 1080p on new videos because the creators can’t afford that workflow or just don’t care. Even stuff that is 4K might have issues with encoding quality due to cost-cutting (or requires higher subscription cost).
8K is a thing too (but even more impractical), so the problem is repeated there too.
So yeah, I would say it is a meaningful difference that vector doesn’t have this problem.
Even when it comes to personality disorders (or other brain stuff) I would say there’s still a distinction between need and want.
A lot of cause for isolation is circumstance (and difficulties relating to socializing), so it’s very likely that a lot of terminally-friendless people would disagree with OP’s (supposed) attitude on this.
