Man I really ended up on the wrong side of history on this one. I really thought Belichick was the real GOAT. Couldn't be more clear at this point that he was riding very long coattails

My organic chemistry prof (shout out to Scudder) claimed that the char on a grill-seared steak could be as cancerous as a carton of cigs. No clue about the truth of that statement, but I started cutting most of the char off my meat after that.

Wait until the playoffs...

You forgot something about the "LATE, GREAT HANNIBAL LECTOR"

Watching Alien Earth episode 5. In keeping with the great tradition of the franchise, this episode is dripping wet. A couple of swinging chains up in the mix too

Starts with a J and rhymes with ustin Herbert

Unintentional zero RB?

Not pictured: my second qb that you will judge me for drafting

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 28

It's rekindled my love of the franchise. It's had a couple small misses but it's incredibly high quality overall

Resorting to this aggressive ad hominem stance when the stakes are so low paints you as the opposite of the persona you intend to project

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 26

Maybe so, but I don't know a lot of people that type up their posts in word and then paste them into a bluesky comment, which is what the original post was about

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 26

No, this is simply from my personal observations of the output of LLMs, not from anyone else. They use em dashes more than most people, it's very obvious. I know some folks use them a lot and that's fine, but most people just don't use them at all because they're not an easy option in most contexts

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 26

I'm not attacking you, really. They are correct, it's just a common sign that an LLM wrote something, because LLMs use the em dash way more often than your average internet user

No sir, this is clearly a post about Barclay. Dude was definitely walking out of the holodeck making jokes about the smell, smirking at every female member of the crew

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 26

A lot of em dashes flying around this post

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 24

This was mine too! The puzzle where you have to lower yourself into the ground with the tree, I was 7 or 8 and I was terrified I'd be stuck down there

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 24

I did eventually force myself to do it and it was a formative moment lol, the kernel of a distinct facet of my personality

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 24

The second game that legit scared me was the Are You Afraid of the Dark game from the nineties

Brocketeer @brocketeer.bsky.social · Aug 24

There's a puzzle in Myst where you have to go underground, intentionally closing off your only sure means of escape, with no knowledge of whether you'll find another way out. It freaked me out big time, and the same happened to my 6 year old about six months ago

Not sure if this is good or bad for my 2nd round keeper Nabers. Lots of targets, lots of attention. Worked for him last year, in spurts at least

Is that right before she puts Perlman in his place? Been a while

They're just jealous of you, sweetie
