  • That's Blujay. Rarely funny. Occasionally fascist. Still keeps trying for some reason.

  • It's a thing in certain styles of drawing. This one feels like a particularly jarring version of it, though.

  • To be precise, misandry exists, but it doesn't have the same societal support that mysogyny does. Both exist, but one has a noticeable effect in the broader world where as the other mostly has effects only in limited spaces where the individual has enough control to override the default power imbalance.

  • A pool of vomit at his feet.

  • That's his mouth. There's drool coming out the bottom.

  • No he doesn't.

  • They won't. AI can't be used for anything remotely important because it is only superhuman at being broadly applicable or fast and terrible, but crap compared to any narrowly applied human intelligence. It's already brutally expensive to train, has nowhere near enough new data to add to the training sets to see any improvement, and is about to get way, way more expensive for the users.

    Now, if you want to imagine a fake world where we have achieved cheap AGI, expect violence. A cheap AGI would eliminate jobs as fast as robots could be built. In any society where the unemployment rate gets high enough without a sufficient social safety net, which those who own the robots would have to be taxed for, people get desperate, and desperate people with no work to eat up their time and energy get active, and eventually violent.

  • It's great when a media outlet uses overly emotional or moral language in their headlines. It let's you know not to read or even click on their crap.

  • Might as well ask how we live when there are no unicorns. You just do. You tolerate the bad times. You enjoy the good times. It is only when you seek meaning and find it missing there is a hole in your desire. Accept the meaninglessness, take a dump, a nap, meditate, or do something else to break the cycle, and just move on.

  • To save money? Start by lowering your standards. It's nigh impossible to grow as good as you can buy for less money. However, you can grow something for very little money. Go for one of the classics. Tomatoes, peppers, and simple leafy greens can be grown in very basic setups. I've done all three. Potatoes can can be grown in free cardboard boxes filled with an appropriate soil. If you want fast growing and somewhat economic, you could get into the world of mushrooms. Just be aware, it takes some research and work to be able to do without buying a lot of equipment. It's technically possible to grow grocery store mushrooms from cutoffs, in a medium made from free sawdust, woodchips, used coffee grounds, and the like if you learn a bit about it.

  • Live a more or less normal life? Actually, some skills from more modern times could get you some good jobs over the decades, depending on what you know. You could achieve an independently wealthy status without getting wildly famous if you play your cards right.

  • Regardless of what some so-called expert out there might say the right course of action is, only you can say for sure. No one is better at being you than you.

    Then why do I keep fucking it up, Dave?

  • People are currently fighting over who gets to definitively answer that question.

  • Is anything still the same as it once was? Corporately produced food is designed by food chemists to be maximally profitable and shifts recipes regularly. Most smaller food makers/preparers are downstream from those corporate entities, relying on them for ingredients. Even the base ingredients, like produce, are being bred to be more profitable, so they change too, just slower. The only thing that won't have changed is things like 'that fruit tree that mom has growing by her window.'

  • Disney's been trying. 'Once More With Feeling' is a whole podcast about the reboots. Did you know Disney remade Pete's Dragon and The Shaggy Dog? I didn't.

  • Many of the ones I have listened to were mentioned on other podcasts.

    I don't really have much I would recommend, but mostly because the quality is inconsistent and I don't know you. Econtalks has always been mostly good, just with some annoying guests. I haven't listened as much since October 7th as it has taken up a lot of the host's attention.Gzero World can be interesting sometimes. A bit produced but okay.Here Comes the Guillotine is fun. Scottish comedians joking darkly.There are some good TTRPG actual play podcasts. I'd highlight Final Show Films, the Apocalypse Players, and Push the Roll. Quality varies but sometimes really fun. Zizek & so on can be interesting if you like Lacanian psychoanalysis and the like.

  • Unreasoned denial and emojis. I'm not going to continue talking to a child. Goodbye.

  • Had one of these at one point. I enjoy the look.

  • Killing and murder are the same thing. Killing in defence is called justifiable homicide. Don't play language games.
