because that shit sucks and it was made top to bottom by ding dongs
Why does every straight dude in Stranger Things have the same macho, needing to get over being overprotective character arc every single season, including the final season? Can we not, for the final season, just have everyone working together and respecting each other against the bad guy?

I know I should not be surprised but how the hell has this not happened yet. I want to see a journalist tell him to go fuck himself
They'll build a statue to the first reporter who tells this old dumbass to eat shit on camera

Someone on X made fun of Friendsgiving as another example of emotionally stunted adult children recently. And at Halloween, another person was making fun of adults for celebrating it for a similar reason.

I hate these joyless scolds who think adulthood has no use for silliness or whimsy

I swear I never noticed this before but it is driving me crazy: if you do a file search on a Mac, if the filename is written-like-this-with-dashes-between-it, it won't be able find it by typing in single terms between dashes. Like, what the hell

Sad not to be able to go home for Thanksgiving. Thinking of ways to celebrate solo and I am considering going to a holiday market here in Montreal and getting dinner there.

I watched a series recap and when it is laid out so explicitly, it all feels so incoherent. A bunch of disparate ideas shoehorned into a single story with no real through line like it was made up as they went.
I'm trying to watch the new Stranger Things but it just feels stupid at this point.

One thing about the end of the latest piece from Ryan Lizza about how corrupt Olivia Nuzzi is: the artist mentioned here is the same one who Vanity Fair commissioned to do the "abstract nude" painting of Nuzzi

This discourse raged on X, but Andy Masley recently revealed major a error in a recent popular book on AI where the author grossly mischaracterized the amount of water used by data centers

He's done a lot of work punching a hole in that particular myth in general

Empire of AI is wildly misleading on AI water use
I discovered at least one major error that gets a number off by 3 orders of magnitude

If I had a preference for why people block me my favorite are the ones who do it because I download pirated books

Depends on who you block and follow but it has a fledging community I think. I think I've curated my account well enough to make sure I don't deal too much with Anti AI discourse
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
