The magical weather control machines
  • Why not both? If they keep pursuing some set of tangents, they never have to admit anything to anyone. They’ll just keep moving the goalposts.

  • The magical weather control machines
  • They believe whatever sounds more exciting to them. It’s a fantasy world all the way down. Climate change doesn’t sound interesting, so they instead say that it’s part of a weather manipulation scheme spearheaded by the Democrats.

  • I have about 55 hours of flights coming up. I’m thinking about the deus ex collection. Any thoughts?
  • Stardew is always a good one and uses very little battery. Noita and Streets of Rogue have been fun too, and are also easy on the battery (pixel art roguelites).

    I love the Deus Ex series and Human Revolution is worth checking out; even if you haven’t played the prior ones. It’s been a while since I played through it but I remember being drawn to the story and liked the stealth aspects.

    The new System Shock remake is also great and is decent on my Steam Deck battery.

  • Xbox exec suffers bout of terminal LinkedIn brain, suggests folks laid off by Microsoft use AI to 'reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss'
  • When you get sucked into a thing or obsess over it for a period of time, you start recommending it as the solution for everything. Everything is a nail and you hold the hammer. It also turns everything you say into a veiled marketing pitch. That’s what has happened with AI brain rot execs and the tech bros that follow them thinking they, too, will eventually be rich.

  • Taxed indeed
  • I love ADHD posts because they always contain condescending people that are incapable of understanding that they’re being condescending. They make assumptions that everyone hopping on the bandwagon isn’t doing any sort of therapy themselves, and we’re all just wallowing in the doom.

    Here’s the actual reason why these things help:

    • It’s easier to understand yourself when you see others describing similar struggles
    • Sometimes this leads to discussions about how to cope and deal on a daily basis
    • Sometimes it leads to doing your own research on things (which has been the case for me multiple times, like recently learning about somatic therapy and how it helps deal with dissociation, etc)
    • Sometimes it’s also just nice to have a group to cope with together, especially when we all live in a world run by the worst fucking people imaginable

    If things have worked for you, that’s amazing. But save the shrugging and dismissive language for… your internal dialogue because zero people need it, unless you’re willing to reframe it in a more constructive way.

    ADHD is a broad spectrum and is never a 1:1 between people. For me, openly identifying as someone that has had ADHD since the 90s (diagnosed) can help others understand why I am the way I am. It also helps bond with others which is in itself a support mechanism. Being more open about my brain has also helped friends identify their own struggles, which also lead them to do more research. So it becomes a “pass it on” kind of thing, not just some vapid “hehe suffering” circle jerk.

    If you’ve been “weird” like me since childhood and struggled hard in school and life for an eternity before finally finding ways to consistently cope and endure (things that will start and stall a million times over because of ADHD brain), finding community and talking about it is massively helpful. The reality is that at this point everyone could have ADHD brain. It’s a spectrum and we know so little about the brain as it is.

    Sometimes it’s also just fun to meme about it.

  • It's a fucking nightmare out there. I say take advantage of every tool you have.
  • God that sucks. I was laid off for 3 months and hated it. I can’t even fathom 2 years. That is rough, friend.

  • It's a fucking nightmare out there. I say take advantage of every tool you have.
  • I should clarify that my post is mostly about the tech industry because that’s all I really know. It’s a field where you can get some leeway and figure shit out. If you’re a doctor, they’re gonna check your background and credentials pretty thoroughly and I don’t recommend lying in a field like that.

  • It's a fucking nightmare out there. I say take advantage of every tool you have.
  • Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.

    The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.

    Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.

  • Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggests
  • Yeah, I think the decline is a drop in a bucket considering. I know plenty of people still buying the Switch 2 etc. on launch day.

  • Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggests
  • I love the movement that has gotten. I’m cheering for it.

  • Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggests
  • I love the constant onslaught of articles that are like “people aren’t spending money anymore!!!” Open your damn eyes. We all got smart and refuse to pay $80 (which is now the new forced norm for “AAA” garbage) and are replaying oldies and indies. Hell, I revamped my 3DS and have dumped a ton of games onto it. I can even play some of them online with people again via Pretendo.

    Like all of the reasons are so obvious why people aren’t dumping money into this industry anymore. Capitalists fucked it all up and put profit over fun. We’re not all dipshits that fall for the constant micro transactions and grifts.

    I legit don’t give a single shit about any of the new “AAA” games coming out. Give me a call when they’re in the bargain bin years from now.

  • [ComiCSS] Benefits of Tailwind
  • In my personal projects, I don’t use anything. I wrote a set of utilities and functions in SCSS years ago that let me easily create reusable variables and classes that already do what TW does, but with less bloat and overhead. I get project-specific spacing, colors, font classes, everything.

    I also highly recommend picking up Andy Bell’s Complete CSS course.

  • Agree
  • I fucking hate summer. It’s terrible in Florida. Not as intolerable on the west coast.

  • New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profiles
  • The subtext here: “if you post anti-Israel stuff, you can kiss your chances goodbye!”

  • ‘It’s terrifying’: WhatsApp AI helper mistakenly shares user’s number
  • It’s really crappy at trying to address its own mistakes. I find that it will get into an infinite error loop where it hops between 2-4 answers, none of which are correct. Sometimes it helps to explicitly instruct it to format the data provided and not edit it in any way, but I still get paranoid.

  • Who else misses Battlefield 1943?

    I was super bummed when it reached EOL. I wish they would let folks host their own servers for it.

    Henry Ruleins

    A meme that shows an image of Jordan Peterson on the left, and Henry Rollins on the right. The title at the top reads: > Why listen to glorified motivational speaker Jordan Peterson when you can just listen to Henry Rollins

    The left column below Peterson reads:

    • Thinks there is a "crisis in masculinity"
    • Insists that the "hero's journey" is a long, strenuous process
    • Never collaborated with Tool
    • Zero scene cred
    • Writes self-help books

    The right column below Rollins reads:

    • Never belittles or puts you down for your inner turmoil
    • "Hero time starts. Right. Now."
    • Provided a visceral monologue on Tool's debut album
    • Well respected in the music scene
    • Writes about his travels and interacting with foreign cultures

    OG Leo meets the new Leo

    The left one is the remake from the old mold, but I have the real OG stored away. Leo was always my favorite. I want to collect all of the new ones though.

    What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

    I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.
