I couldn’t ever get into oblivion since skyrim was my first Bethesda game and a lot of oblivion felt like (to me) slightly janky skyrim. I was able to get into morroeind though because it was just so diffrent.

From what I’ve heard you’d probably see a spike in medical deaths basically immediately.

No but GMM had been producing content for over 10 years and they are still looked at fondly.

If you don’t like that example I won’t say they are the greatest works ever made but their are so many indie animators that are making whole shows and uploading them for free on YouTube that many people will remember fondly.

Go look at James Lee’s channel. He would never be given the freedom to do the weird style he has on tv.

I understood you. When people go to a country when coming from America and expect the authentic version to be the same as what they have been eating they will be disappointed. Its not a better or worse thing its just very different.

Italian food here is Italian-American and a lot of it has significantly evolved from what you would get in itally. It’s not authentic Italian it is however authentic Italian-American.

No clearly all of the whistle blowers had unrelated health conditions that just so happened to take them out before they could speak in court. All coincidental.

Have you settled on anything yet? I really like the essentials part of zen but incompetence on that level scares me.

It really is interesting how simultaneously big and small the world it now. I have times where people call an artist the biggest up in comer and I have never heard of them but they somehow have 10mil monthly listeners.
I got off tiktok a while ago and the only thing that I miss is small musicians that post their early works to the platform.

Their music is interesting I’ll definitely have to check out more of it to see how I feel about it.

Dolohins are the only ones I’m nearly 100% certain they have some kind of sapients. Probably some octopodes too but that will likely be completely alien.

Hey thank you. I’ve seen a lot of canadian saying the same thing about us that dear leader says about immigrants and its heartning to remember that not everyone falls into the trap of wrath.

Or there is only a cheap option or an option over 10x as expensive with no middle ground.

Its a musk quote. Pretty sure others have said it before him though.

What do you think politics are?

Just do your best to keep your country from joining us. The AfD sure seems to be gaining speed like our tea party did.

all religions change. The gnostics were my favorite offshoot because it seems more believable then God being good after committing multiple genocides.

Every single one. They ethier white wash (not in the making people white way but sometimes they too) or villify everything about it. There is no place for nuance in modern retellings for some reason.

I’ve been reading some terrible books because I enjoy listening to 372 pages we’ll never get back.

That reads exactly like a line in a few of those books.

I mean AGI is possible unless causality isn’t true and the brain just is a “soul’s” interface for the material world.

But who is to say LLMs are the right path for it.

I’m pretty sure they mean 2 boxes.

calibre might be my favorite piece of software ever made. I wish every media format had a calibre equivalent. I have sorted thousands of books and merged so many series into single files because who needs seperate books on an eReader.

Good UX benefits everyone.
