I don’t really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?

Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.

Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.

I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.

She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.

I’m surprised you’ve made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.

Spoilers in that link, of course.

I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.

I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.

Then the sonic sunglasses?

I just.

I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you’re not missing much.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.

Vice President is the surest path to President in US politics.

Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it’s just a standardized password I use only on that field.

Former pastor here, this is massively true for over 1600 years of the church’s history. Most Christians have no idea about their own history.

What an insanely powerful piece and a masterful use of black and white.

I’m honestly not sure what the authorial perspective of the crusades was. In the late 1800’s, it probably wasn’t safe to be openly critical, but this feels very critical.

The soldiers seem almost skeletal. There’s a ghoulish tone to everyone except the angel, who seems to be undeniably leading this army of the damned.

Really interesting image.

I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.

Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.

Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.

Would that be $2 from me if I lose?

It’s my understanding that, with LLMs, being polite can net better results because they’re trained off human interactions where being polite is better.

It’s not that they care at all, it’s just how language works.

I’ve not seen a study of the phenomenon or even tested it myself, but it seems plausible.

I’ll recommend cosmoteer from this list. Really excellent little game that intends to be a superior Escape Velocity, SPAZ. etc… But with outlandishly complex and rewarding ship building.

The rest of the Galaxy is still a bit sparse, but they have a roadmap that I think will genuinely make this a game to play for decades.

Weird that the article never mentioned Iowa’s incredibly restrictive abortion laws and it’s affect on obstetrics.

As a former 3a owner this project is entirely awesome to me. Really cool stuff and really well done.

Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.

Completely agree. I love discovering ultra niche podcasts.
