i'm developing a medieval open-world adventure game in which your character is immortal but has to sneeze constantly, so mostly you just wander the towns and countryside searching for kerchiefs and the like. sometimes you have to acquire oaken buckets or enchanted books to sneeze into

everything that is wrong with Elon Musk can be summed up in the fact that there’s nobody in his life who can sit him down and tell him how embarrassing this is

I love how over 14 books, the most consistently important and plot impactful technology in the Vorkosigan saga isn’t plasma guns, spaceships or power armor but rather the tube that women can use to have kids rather than their own bodies

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

I mean I know I should probably be more freaked out about this but the guy is flailing, he’s losing on every front and he’s watching television and screaming into the void again

everyone is going to pretend this didn’t happen like they do every time he does something like this

Capitalism is a system whereby the poor are systemically exterminated so Elon Musk can build a machine that tells everyone he is a greater athlete than LeBron James

large numbers of people think this is the best and only way to organize society

So "Greece" & "Greek" originally referred to a single group of immigrants to Italy.

The origin of 'Hellenes' is likely because of a shared ancestry from 'Hellen', a Hellenistic origin mythos that combines elements of Noah's Ark & Adam & Eve.

Why Did the Ancient Greeks Call Themselves ‘Hellenes’?
They sure didn’t call themselves Greeks.

The Ancient Greeks never called themselves that. They were Hellenes (Ἕλληνες), who lived in Hellas (Ἑλλάς).

A group from mainland Greece colonized southern Italy. The Romans called these people 'Graikoi', and the colony in Italy was called 'Graecia'.

And that's the name that stuck outside Greece.

This is a fascinating video that makes some really good points, and I can't help but consider the fact that if so many viewers can't quite put their finger on the "why" of these differences on their own, what hope in hell does AI have in making movies.

Most movies people will attempt (and fail) to make with AI will have that "cinematic" look with the blurry background devoid of visual haptic feedback, and no amount of prompts will be able to get the computer to understand, because most humans don't necessarily think about film to this degree.

I mean I'm absolutely certain whatever they do release is going to be redacted to hell and contain none of what we want

but no, the reason this went the way it did is that nobody wanted to be on the record voting against releasing the files once it actually got to the floor so they gave up
Am I too cynical for thinking a 427 to 1 vote just means trump has made it very clear to the GOP they have found a way to not have to release shit no matter how the senate votes

can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1

couldn't have gone worse if they tried
