The world looks like a horrible place, barely hanging on by a thread, until you step outside and see that society and the people in it are generally pretty chill.

Of course, that said, I don’t live in the states. Everything could be literally on fire there for all I know.

Wtf why isn’t this the guy in charge of Bethesda??

Grandpa just got scammed, and when we talked to him about it he said the bank literally told him “you are being scammed” and he insisted on sending the money anyway.

I just… what?

I have never, and will never, not downvote these memes.

Another thing that pisses me off is that I’m literally paying >100% of the cost of the property over time, yet they retain full ownership. It’s an investment with essentially zero risk, if you have a tenant that isn’t a racoon.

Not sure I have a good solution for that issue, honestly, but the idea of it irks me.

My overall position boils down to: Housing should never generate profit. A landlord can take pay for the work they do, and put money aside for maintenance, but there should never be a profit made on rent.

Not if it’s money extorted from people under the threat of homelessness, not particularly, no.

Oh, also, mid-pandemic I played A Short Hike, and while not a long game, it was an incredible escape for a while.

Lately, it’s been Factorio. It’s nice to set all my worries aside and pick up an entirely new set of worries regarding factories and the growth thereof.

Damn, 8 feet deep. That hole don’t fuck around.

Afaik you can substitute VRAM with RAM at the cost of speed. Not exactly sure how that speed loss correlates to the sheer size of these models, though. I have to imagine it would run insanely slow on a CPU.

Yeah, I was tempted to try K2 + SE, but the last ounce of my sanity kicked in at the last second. It’s definitely next up, though.

I’ve heard this pack can be overly complex, but I know one day I’ll give into it and never be seen again.

Playing my first non-vanilla run with Krastorio right now, and it feels like I’m playing a whole new game. I can basically kiss my life goodbye… again.

I’d put a little fountain in the corner.

Lately it’s been The Movies - a song by ceilingmouse, using clips from Kitboga (a scambaiter on Twitch).

“I can see right through your disguiiiIIIIISE!” Lmao

Did Terry Davis really coin it? I’m too lazy to fact check right now, but I wonder what the story is there.

Afaik from my time on 4chan, the phrase came from undercover FBI agents on the platform being so obvious they “glow”.

Looks like a rendering issue. If nothing else works, maybe try updating graphics drivers?

This conversation is a small example. My previous messages in this comment chain were generated by ChatGPT.

I’m too lazy to keep that up indefinitely, but at this point you can decide for yourself whether it was convincing enough.

Well, fair point about the spam bot creators, but in my experience, even in one-on-one chats, it holds up. I’ve had some pretty smooth conversations without anyone suspecting it’s AI.

Nah, not really! I’ve chatted with people using ChatGPT, and most couldn’t tell. It’s pretty slick, blends in well with natural conversation.
