@simoj_ @TetraspaceWest @OfficialMTM101 In a pre-industrial society that seems right. In modern world tinies are super OP 'cause they can contribute linearly and spend on square or cube rooted stuff (e.g. real estate, travel).

@webdevMason @tracewoodgrains There's millions of gay Americans. If you wanted to push a narrative about us just construct a funnel that samples from the 0.002% of gays that best match your narrative and you could write a new story about a new target every day in perpetuity.

@webdevMason @tracewoodgrains Both "we're normal, hardworking people" and "we revel in your discomfort" have been clear clusters of gay people for longer than either of us have been alive.

@panchromaticity @spacepope Ask claude to install https://t.co/uhdllw8fAk and then use like:

"I'd like to add an incremental mode to this pipeline so updates are fast. We should also design a test framework that makes it easy to ensure that both modes produce the same output. /grill-me"

[morphillogical 🔍 @morphillogical]

@panchromaticity @spacepope A super useful thing when doing hard work is the grill-me skill. It's just four sentences long but when I use it we end up thinking through the problem space a lot better and Claude understands my goals and thinking way better.

@ApriiSR yeah, the fact that it's called the royal memorial fountain suggests it was built after Asriel fell down, and it's already straining the chronology for Chara's story in the underground to play out in only a single full year

@ApriiSR ... woah!

@moralityetalon @morallawwithin Without putting too fine a point on it, the text is aware that HJPEV is Like That and how he came to be that way is explicitly questioned by the story and has a diagetic answer.

[morphillogical 🔍 @morphillogical]

@moralityetalon @morallawwithin I think this is one of the things that triggers a strong dislike reaction from some readers, thinking that HJPEV is an author insert and that his flaws (despite being frequently noted explicitly in the text) are being lionized as much as his virtues.

@CoughsOnWombats @Stutigardum I've found LLMs helpful for translating a frustrated, off the cuff message into a Serious Email.

@girllich1 @sleepydisease I've been thinking about switching our banking to Mercury for this, they advertise how easy it is to make debit cards and give them spending limits.

@KelseyTuoc Congratulations!!

@TheStalwart @lion_tender It's excellent, but strongly polarizing. If you get a few chapters in and you're kinda enjoying it, strap in because it gets so much better. But if you're not having fun, then that'll only get worse if you press on.

@_JeanLeon yeah, the economist has had a few articles about this, concluding that a large and sustained drop in supply is locked in even if all conflict ceased and all shipments resumed.

on the other hand, markets handled covid actually quite well so maybe they've got this one too

@tracewoodgrains @henryaj @AaronBergman18 @kepe__ that said, it's just five minutes lol

[morphillogical 🔍 @morphillogical]

@tracewoodgrains @henryaj @AaronBergman18 @kepe__ I get that perspective but it can be taken too far. The moment-by-moment experiencing self has value, not just the long term self.

It's far more common to overvalue the experiencing self, but I think you fit the profile of that rarer set that might undervalue 'em.
