blu‌esk‌y is sort of soothing compared to this place but it still feels kind of like a private group chat that moves too fast to follow but isn't vast enough to have that feeling that by reading it you're keeping up with the world. anyway same user name there as here for me.

coming out of X vacation to ask if anyone else had an all-Hatchet school curriculum where every book you were assigned to read in school in elementary and middle school was some off-brand Hatchet?

I've been assigned to read Hatchet-like books you can't even dream of. Ones where he had a dog and was blind and angry in a forest fire. Ones where he was trapped and angry in a car. Ones where he was watching Pa's cabin during the war.

Like the idea that this was a one time occurrence is very funny to me. It was almost all we read. We got one token book a year with a female main character if we were lucky. But it was also Hatchet. Pioneer girl Hatchet, pilgrim girl Hatchet.

not that I'm ever around here much, but I won't be around for a bit because my mother (who I live with) fell down the stairs and injured herself severely and everything is chaos for at least the next few weeks if not the next few months

or maybe I'll be around a lot and develop a twitter addiction, who knows

my sister's abusive ex wrote a non-fiction book about AI, partially using AI, and hot take but he should have used AI a lot more.

AI really needed to take the wheel here.

I've seen more than one angry anti-LLM post from friends on my fb that was clearly written or sweetened up by an LLM and I feel like that's kind of the signal of where this is all going

hard not to underestimate how much the average person actually hates writing anything for any reason

can't even mime being angry at Platner for committing SA; this creature only crawls out of bed to be smug and angry about...what exactly? your shitty guy won and fucked it for all of us, why are *you* smug?
We interrupt your smugness-orgy to remind that Janet Mills: stable, reliable, conventional, impeccable pedigree, college educated,,got FUCKING STOMPED (SEVENTY TWO PERCENT!!!) in the primaries to “unstable, “unvetted.” That’s your “brand!” It fucking sucks dick!

you still don't have the high ground there but at least you can vaguely claim you didn't want Trump to win. Graham was your fucking guy. You weren't sounding the warning sirens, you were helping him stomp on the competition.

Also I think it's ghoulish to play this whole "actually all the people who saw this coming were bad people for [muffled] reasons, all the good people are just shocked, shocked I tell you" thing out in earnest. People who saw this coming were reacting to extremely obvious signals.

if you didn't think a Na‍zi tattoo was an obvious signal of poor judgment across the board, that is actually something about you that actively needs to change

anyway remember when Jon Lovett called having a Na‍zi tattoo a "spiritual connection to having a human body"? because I do

In like 1997 an adult man found my AOL profile and emailed me just to tell me that I seemed very stupid and and that all my interests were stupid and I emailed him back that I was sorry but that I was 14 and that might have something to do with it.

I'm not sure how I was so aware at 14 that being 14 was in fact a profound mitigating factor for stupidity rather than being defensive about it. But also not aware enough of the concept of negging/predation not to email this creep back. He did apologize, though.

can someone explain to me why the only thing I've been able to handle the thought of eating for the last week is whole pickles? (I'm not pregnant)
