  • Anyone else do this?

  • I think it's a little unfair to brand the other person as avoidant of self-reflection, as if that's just a core personality trait and not something that varies contextually. This kind of therapy-speak in inappropriate venues is such a huge red flag. No, you did not "trigger" the other person. You hurt their feelings on accident. That happens, but your measure lies in how you respond to having unintentionally hurt someone. This tweet reeks of "I acted like a shitty person, and now to soothe the feeling of my superego poking my ego I will go online and paint the person I was a dick to as an unreasonable person through oversimplified vagueposting."

    edit: With half an hour of distance between me and this comment it now feels important that I point out that I'm not calling out anyone ITT. Just the original poster on Twitter. Weaponized therapyspeak really, ahem, triggers me. I've been on both sides of this dynamic, and both sides can really ruin my day. I just really hate it when people try to avoid accountability for their behavior by using detached and clinical language. Ironically, the author of the linked tweet is avoiding self-reflection in real time. It's just... goddamn, dude. This shit is serious. You can really hurt somebody when you start talking like unregistered therapy tiktokers. Don't ask me how I know, that part's private.

  • TIL the word "fnord," from The Illuminatus! Trilogy, gives characters subconscious feelings of unease and confusion, thus preventing rational thought, every time the word appears

  • why is everyone commenting on a blank post

  • Outrageous

  • because the number of likes you get is proportional to the number of people who see it, not how amazing the thing you posted is

  • The past:

    • contains valuable information
    • may be used to evaluate the present
    • helps make informed predictions about the future

  • I think that falls under "back to the drawing board." Functionally there's little difference between talking to a model and taking a call. If management is pushing them to dictate and it's causing a problem they should put them in cubes.

  • Halo's Project Ekur Has Been Canceled

  • For anyone else who resents this site's desperate attempts to get you to download their app:

    A new report confirms that Halo Studios’ upcoming Halo multiplayer title, Project Ekur, has been canceled.

    There have been many news reports and rumors circulating about the Halo franchise recently, particularly concerning remakes. After the successful remake of the first game, it appears that remakes for Halo 2 and Halo 3 are also in development. Players have been eager to learn about new installments in the series, but it seems that a new multiplayer-focused game will not be released.

    The initial report regarding the cancellation of Halo’s Project Ekur came from a well-known member of the community, Rebs Gaming. This report was then confirmed by Jez Corden, who, in his latest article for WindowsCentral, stated, “Halo Studios was working on a multiplayer title known as Project Ekur, which has been canceled. I’ve verified that as 100% true.” No further details about the nature of the canceled project were disclosed.

    Recent reports from Rebs Gaming revealed that Project Ekur was one of the new projects from the Halo franchise. It seems that after the cancellation of battle royale mode for Halo Infinite, Certain Affinity, the developer of Project Tatanka, was given the go-ahead to prototype Project Ekur to see how Halo would unfold in Unreal Engine 5. There were two goals in mind: whether Slipspace and Blam assets can be moved to UE 5 and whether the engine can provide the Halo feel.

    The game seemingly had extraction elements, but Halo 5 Warzone was looked at as a ‘conceptual foundation’. Certain Affinity was also offering playable Spartans and Elites with full customization. However, additional information from another source raised the question of whether Project Ekur was a traditional multiplayer game, a new experience, or both.

  • Moths and lamps

  • Nobody takes light pollution seriously but it's as serious as a heart attack.

    And I'm not saying we should shut off all the streetlights either. Although rigging them to motion sensors would be cool. Just that we should pretty please use full cutoff fixtures, ban uplights, and for the love of God use 3000k or warmer. 6000k for dusk-dawn lighting is insane especially in residential areas.

  • Fuck if I know, all I know is you can sit next to a blender in a busy office full of crying babies and barking dogs while writing a dissertation on an electric typewriter and the person on the other end of the line would never be able to tell. Professional headsets (like in the $300-$500 range) are honestly pretty incredible. If these silicon valley offices are too noisy for a high end EOS to handle, or if they genuinely have that many people constantly talking all day to the point that it's a problem then they need to go back to the drawing board. Steno masks have their place but for anything a garden variety techbro is doing they're either performative bullshit or a lazy bandaid. I guaranfuckingtee bossman has no interest in putting one of these on.

  • high end office headsets already have excellent isolation, wearing a muzzle is just a humiliation ritual.

  • Genovia is a critical friend and ally to the United States. I stand with Genovia, both because of our shared values, which are so fundamental to the founding of both our nations, and I believe the bonds between the people of the United States and the people of Genovia are unbreakable, and we can never let anyone drive a wedge between us.
