This seems trivial to solve without all the LLM parts. It’s like… 1-3 lines of code to pick a random item from a list. Surely someone has made websites or apps to do that for you, if you can’t write it yourself.
Or a no code solution: dice or a dart board or cards or any other randomization tool.
I know plenty of adults who are really bad at money and paying bills.
I feel like the average video game player has really poor media and political literacy, but maybe it’s just the ones who make noise online who fit that profile.
If conservatives alone got what they deserved (misery) it wouldn’t be so bad. But they insist on taking everyone else down with them, too.
Hegseth is a cartoon villain that shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn’t believe women should be allowed to vote.
Just an utter scumbag.
I used to try to explain to management that some debt is high interest.
One of the guys at my old job submitted a PR with tests that basically just mocked everything, tested nothing. Like,
with patch("something.whatever", return_value=True):
assert whatever(0) is True
assert whatever(1) is True
Except for a few dozen lines, with names that made it look like they were doing useful.
He used AI to generate them, of course. Pretty useless.
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Eco 's essay on Ur-Fascism is worth reading
It’s upsetting that people can be colossally stupid and factually incorrect and face no meaningful consequences. Like, who is the OP? Why are they just walking around without a warning sign that says like “This person is stupid”?
One of the many things that’s infuriating about this is that these people are so profoundly stupid, but they keep getting all the money and power. If there was any justice in the world, people like the decision makers in your stories would be living a very spartan life somewhere, reflecting on how they are so fucking senseless.
And yet people continue to worship these “job creators” and “visionaries”.
I don’t think “mental healthcare” is a silver bullet (pun intended) to fix the problems. That’s not going to fix the consolidation of power and wealth. That’s not going to get people shorter work weeks, and more quality time with friends and family. That’s not going to break up the media megaliths that profit from anger inducing feeds.
Health care will help, but the problem is conservatism and it’s shitty brother capitalism.
On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.
Do you actually do work or are you one of those middle-men that add dubious value?
And, like, do you think I can read my coworker’s screen from across the room and be like “Ah yes, that is TransferProjectView.py. I should tell him that I am also planning on touching that file”?
And adults can learn to explicitly communicate. It’s not impossible. You just type into the box.
I don’t think microsoft understands shit. I think their leaders are out of touch, lying, idiots. They continue to exist based on inertia and past success.
It’s frustrating because management are so colossally, transparently, stupid but they get the big paychecks and the workers get fucked. And then like half the workers sit there going “Well this is just and fair. this is a good world. If the people actually doing the work had more of a say, that’s communism and thus axiomatically bad”
That’s not really small town though, in my mind. I was thinking of like suburbs where people drive everywhere.
People in walkable cities tend to be hottest. Daily exercise does a lot of good for bodies.
Some people need an out-group to hate. That’s it. Everything else is a justification for the good chemical feels they get for subjugating the outsiders.
88 is an unfortunate score.
Anyway. I haven’t played the full release, but it’s been good in early access. I think it’s a little harder than the first one
You can turn that one on desktop off, btw
