@PolymarketIntel I can't tell if the headlines are new or months old.

@SkyeSharkie How much of this do you feel was conscious vs unconscious? Were these people aware that they were betraying their claimed purpose, or were they lying to themselves too?

@PalmerLuckey @ZacksJerryRig I have a friend who says rifles should be the ONLY guns legally allowed, to decrease shootings. Handguns are too easy to conceal, but all people see is "big gun = big scary".

@awjaques @TokiBaeClouds @fentanylbrownie Imagine owning a business and your livelihood depending on it, and then you just don't update your website for three years.

@GermanTechJobs Our company gives a choice between "pray for funding" and "work 80 hours a week".

@DARana101 @rothschildmd Trump's government gave red states more of the bioweapon, I guess.

@SkyeSharkie Is Claude walking on water a mistake, or deliberate? It's a very important question!

@carlo_5518 @EricTreidel @KelseyTuoc @kscottz TVs also require materials and labor, and yet 60" TVs seem much cheaper than they were 10 years ago. What's the difference?

@Polymarket Rapid weight loss causes hair loss, regardless of cause. This is not news.

@SkyeSharkie Unfortunately, "violence is okay if people disagree with you on political/economic issues" is getting to be a pretty popular, even bipartisan, position. Probably a bad thing.

@LinkofSunshine This is like when boomers go to an art museum and say "I could do that" over and over.

@SkyeSharkie For real, I've been spending this week going back and tweaking all of my old functional-but-could-be-better projects. And if you don't know what to improve... it'll have ideas!

@nikicaga She isn't even verified. She's just trolling for the love of the game.

@salingergregor "It wasn't so bad, we were fine!"
"Yeah, but what about your brother?"

@SkyeSharkie I tried that with GPT once years ago and it shot me. I may not have adequately described that the gun was pointed at me. Maybe Claude will be nicer.

@ExistentialEnso It feels like AAA gaming is collapsing under its own weight. This applies even better to GTA. I started with Vice City, everybody in high school talked about San Andreas, 4 and 5 came out in college, it was a HUGE cultural touchpoint.
For teens today, GTA is what dad plays.

@rebeccarightnow So much of that subreddit is normal-looking guys receding a bit and asking "is it time?" and the subreddit ALWAYS says it's time.

@David_Jagneaux @Toadsanime I stopped in the snow. If it gets better, maybe I'll go back to it.

[The Other David @OtherDavid88]

@TrueSlazac @ArchysLife @Isari301 A lot of people are convinced it must somehow be bad for you, because "no free lunch". Evidence is inconsistent.

[The Other David @OtherDavid88]

@SkyeSharkie The good news is that we're already seeing how this story evolves. The bad news is... it isn't going well, and AI can surely draw these parallels too.
