Fuckin' A! I finished a test project over my weekend! No designing anything new, just using what I already know. It came out pretty okay! I love Unreal sometimes.

The longer Hormuz stays closed the more amplified the effects of the Super El Niño will be. No fertilizer means half the yield. Millions are going to die because of Trump’s “little excursion.”
I know a lot of billionaires don’t have an income and that’s how they get away with not paying taxes. They just borrow against their assets instead, like stocks.
Can we just … ban that? Like no more borrowing against stocks or assets. That way they’d actually have to sell their assets to use them and make an income. Then we can properly tax them.
Just a thought. Genuine question.
i think we gotta move away from the "AI is stealing art" conversation into the more valuable "AI is stealing human resources" conversation. it is far more valuable and tangible to normal people than something as nebulous as art integrity.
@OrevaZSN Cancer doesn't think about the health of the body, it can only contemplate expansion. Its nature inherently precludes it from understanding that unchecked cell division will kill the host it relies on.
One of the more depressing political epiphanies was realizing that “pedophiles” usually just means “the most hated outgroups” and “protecting kids” usually just means in the same way you’d protect property (where anything YOU do to it is automatically morally justified)
genai has revealed that a lot of people do not value some fields. for some its art for some its code for some its translation. always "its fine because its the field i dont care about"
ALL usage of generate AI is bad. ALL fields get worse from it. ALL fields are valuable.
Most MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES actually would disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. Pretending money doesn't affect MENTAL HEALTH is privilege.
someone a lot smarter than me should write a book on how this recent push for "parental control" and "age verification" features in our technology is codifying a very specific kind of legal doctrine of parental ownership into our everyday lives
It also doesn't go as far, so you're paying more overall and filling up more often. And I see people breaking down less than a block from gas stations and having to buy a gas can. Has getting cheaper is a whole illusion rn.
Lemme get this straight - on America’s 250th Anniversary year we have:
1) Section 702 of FISA enabling warrantless spying on Americans
2) Section 224 of the ‘27 NDAA near irreversibly integrating Israel into our military tech and systems
3) Section 602 of the NDAA integrating Israel into US intelligence, making it very difficult to disentangle without clearing significant legal hurdles
4) Antisemitism speech laws in 38 states preventing speech against Zionism and criticizing the Israeli government’s genocide?
Sincerely, what the fuck is this?
I trust Lehto WAY fucking more than any time O’Donnell wants to chime in about wokeness in Halo or whatever.
I poured endlessly over the Halo 1+2 art book. Lehto paved the way for the vibes everyone loves so much.
Get ready to give your dog kisses and some days later be blowing worms out of your nose because Elon and his degenerates decided that a flesh eating worm wasnt a big deal and cut the government funding to keep it in check.
Be mad at the right people this time.
@billionthb@ConmanMulvania@esjesjesj@scrumble_eggs@airbagg3d That wasn't from Fall of Reach, that was from Evolutions, which is dubiously canon. What IS in Fall of Reach and thus a secondary canon (they've retconned quite a bit of FoR) and in Halsey's Journal in Reach's SE is that S2 augs kill sex drive. S2s are all canonically ace.
@ConmanMulvania@esjesjesj@scrumble_eggs@airbagg3d Tourist hasn't read Halsey's journal in the Reach Special Edition, or any extended lore. Spartan 2 augments all but eliminate sex drive. Chief is Ace. He lives to defend humanity.
