Is this a good time to mention that in college my History of Translation lecturer (Michael Cronin) told us that one of the first vernacular translations of The Illiad was into Irish, and the translator had to give the main characters dogs because in Gaelic society a free man had a dog

Holy shit.

everyone makes fun of chuck schumer for the imaginary republican family he asks what they think before making any decision but like no one really talks about how basically every white resist lib on here does the same thing but with a racist caricature of a sassy black woman in their head

Despite being extremely cost inefficient for everyone involved, the trailer parks grew earthly model persists because it gives petty landlords the maximum advantage and power. Because they are the kind of people our laws and economy are suited to support, so they get exactly what they ask for.

It’s been noted before that trailer parks grew at the exact time that America lost its public housing. My grandma had to move into a trailer home when she sold her house for retirement money You own the trailer and maintain it, but if you cant pay rent on the lot the landlord can legally destroy it

You can't use generative language models to verify any kind of information because they will simply barf the exact same (incorrect) information you're attempting to verify back out at you. A language model doesn't know what is true or false! A language model doesn't know or understand ANYTHING!

It sounds like you certainly helped with that though

All things considered it's honestly just so much *easier* to approach everything from a consistent moral framework; if your professed beliefs match your actual beliefs and you've done the work of squaring them against each other in your head, there is no question that can faze you

These two videos (I don't think Sam is on here) are very good

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

Revenge on @dasfabelwesen.bsky.social !! Quick speedpaint because I love any excuse to draw weird maws I guess!

this sounds like a trivial complaint but humans have bred modern "meat" chickens into oversized monstrosities that know nothing but immense suffering over the few short weeks of their lives before being brutally slaughtered because people think tofu is yucky

It is genuinely incredible how certain people will know absolutely nothing about a subject yet pronounce on it confidently, projecting their own views as though timeless and ironclad

at the end of the orgy one person is getting chosen to go up to the heaviside layer

YOU WILL BELIEVE A DOG CAN READ YOUR MIND

In school there’s a lot of social pressure to be normal, although even there teaming up with other weirdos is the path to get away from that, and once you get older it really doesn’t matter. I think some people just never move past worrying about it.
