I wouldn’t consider myself a film critic but there are times when I need to side with the critic score over the audience score. Examples include: The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Men, The Monkey, Boondock Saints, Edit: punctuation

Feeling is analog and requires an actual nervous system which is dynamic. LLMs exist in a static state that is read from and processed algorithmically. It is only a simulacrum of life and feeling. It only has some of the needed characteristics. Where that boundary exists though is hard to determine I think. Admittedly we still don’t have a full grasp of what consciousness even is. Maybe I’m talking out my ass but that is how I understand it.

Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find this one

Dual booting is easy to do if you have a spare hard drive. Even just installing linux to a flash drive can at least give you a good idea of how it will run though it might be a bit slow. I wouldn’t recommend partitioning your hard drive to dual boot off of it for beginners though. You’ll risk data loss.

I think it’s more of a tip for people who don’t have a choice. Coffee isn’t exclusively consumed for the taste.

Like email but in the style of platforms like reddit, twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. There is no one site to create an email yet you can send an email to anyone no matter who their provider is. The fediverse aims to do that but with other platforms.

Funny enough, I’ve found Microsoft apps are the most inconsistent with this functionality

The definition of color blindness I’m using is ignoring race and treating everyone the same in spite of it. If you’re using a different definition, tell me what it is and I can engage you based on that. If you’re just going to be condescending to me, I might as well just not engage with you at all.

This brings back nightmares of reading the dark tower

The colorblind route is how we got here. It has allowed white supremacists to operate under our noses while the people pretending to be colorblind give them the benefit of the doubt when they do their racist dog whistles. You see it even now with some of my countrymen trying to say Elon is just being autistic when he throws out a Nazi salute. We’ve been taking the colorblind route for decades and the only way we’ve been able to fight back is to listen to the minorities that are here and build our communities around celebration of our differences. I’m not going to treat everyone the same because the reality is that we are not all the same. Everyone has their own quirks and experiences and neuroses. I treat everyone how they want to be treated because that is how I respect their individuality. Everyone has the potential to teach me important things I don’t know.

Pretending to be colorblind doesn’t make one colorblind. Americans have largely adopted an ideology of anti-racism. That is, acknowledge that racial biases exist and keep the door open for healthy conversations. You may try to ignore the fact that racial biases exist but doing so only perpetuates them.

It’s a browser, not a platform. Having a bunch of groypers use it doesn’t ruin the experience for everyone else so long as it retains good privacy features.

Shhh, let them have their fun

Celebrate fellow homos!

Smacking lips as filler for speech is considered rude, irritating, and condescending.

As a gay man who passes as straight, you can get a lot of gal pals just by treating women as friends instead of potential partners. A lot of women don’t really need a relationship, they just want a friendship.
