This is a terrible take, as most content creators I watch already cannot survive off of Youtube ad revenue and rely on third-party monetization, like Patreon subscriptions.

Besides the fact that plenty of people make content for free, from the simple love of creating something.

That’s hilarious, you activated a faux meet-cute and turned it real.

Is there anything saying that Jedi mindtricks are permanent? You can trick them for a moment, but it’ll fade and you’re back at square 1.

She prompted it and I accepted because what are you going to do? Stay in a one-sided relationship?

Honestly, it was the right call even if I immediately went into emotional triage to figure out when I had fucked up.

Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture up through your early 20s isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.

I’m going to turn “wizard” back into an insult. Some smart-aleck tries to act bougie: “fuck off, wizard”

Yeah, that’s suspicious. It could be that it’s not automatic and they’re handwriting-typing it each time. I personally don’t have an email signature set up for the “Regards, Name” bit as I tend to change them based on tone and if I want an end signature at all.

I disagree with this comment only because it is building and bolstering the precedent that everyone is using these models all the time and every written thing is generated from an LLM, even when there is no evidence to support it.

The various grammar errors and random capitalizations push toward “human” and the only support for it being LLMgen’d is the fact that it is poetic.

I fundamentally cannot agree with that take. How do you fix something if you don’t know why the current thing doesn’t work?

Is the interface obtuse?

Are the controls too manually complex to operate?

Is the tutorial instruction flat-out wrong?

Are they talking out off their ass about something they heard on hearsay?

Were they taught secondhand, and poorly, by someone else on how to operate Thing?

Please don’t try to imprecisely apply soft inclusivity to technical problems. If someone only says the stairs are difficult for them, don’t just change them into a slide because you accepted there needs to be change. This isn’t about accomodating someone’s lifestyle choices, this is (positing) dropping/adopting a standard based on vague dissent.

Bipeds can distinctly kick, punch, and also hold things into those punchers like merch and brand deals.

Bipeds are the ideal form for human propaganda.

I’ve heard it’s SE Asian, not Hawaiian

The philosophy is pretty straight-forward. I don’t know why the world is pretending it’s difficult.

You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

“My dad knows a guy” is a connection?

Yeah, the very idea of discourse has been deconstructed so thoroughly that I can see someone saying “but humans are animals” as justification for being a monster. Or that you deserve to steal if you can find a gap in the laws preventing it.

I can see how you might have that internally, but the material imagery here is of something being stolen off a plate. It’s directly at cross-purposes with what would be at the top of people’s mind when interacting with the post (assuming they’re not the type to sprint to comment before engaging with the post at all).

I hope this was preplanned, and they didn’t just passively watch a cat ruin someone’s meal from a single table away.

It’s fine to steal from a company, but (literally) off another person’s plate?

I don’t suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you’d get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let’s not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?

Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?

What you described as enjoyable isn’t “Skyrim” that’s just the Gamebryo engine. The Companions don’t figure into a physics glitch that rockets you up to kiss the twin moons. Nocturne and the Nightingales aren’t relevant to a horse glued at an 85° angle to a mountain face. You’re just describing mucking around in a less interactive GMod. But people did like the mage who pancaked himself with a jump spell, the woman who is absolutely a necrophiliac, and Glarthir’s deranged quest. Actual components of those games that were done well. We all want them to make the game better so we actually want to experience all the bits that are well done and funny.

The Elder Scrolls isn’t popular because of the shitty engine. It’s memed because of the engine, but the games are generally fun enough to keep playing through the more benign bugs. And, like shared trauma, we all laugh about the bad bits in hindsight.
