clunky and slow interface of email that for some reason we continue using 30 years later

Email is actually great, it's the original fediverse - anyone can start a server and interoperate with everyone else. With a decent client it doesn't need to be clunky either, although with 90% of people stuck in webmail I can understand why people think it sucks.

This is the reason beer exists.

Trans? More power to you.

CIA? Go fuck yourself.

Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year...

Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I'm not sure I've ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.

Totally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

It's basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It's incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Uh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I've never heard that and don't see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia...

That was so badass. It's really a crime how hard Disney fucked the sequel trilogy, but The Force Awakens was at least fun. The other two were hot garbage.

That sounds cool!

I had an Aussie team lead in 2016 and he messaged me the day after the election like "WTF happened?"

I was feeling grim and said "we just woke up in a fascist hellscape" which at the time was gruesome overkill for effect but I often think about that interaction now. America is not the same place it was a decade ago.

Weird Al is a national treasure, an institution. I'd bet it's his sort of music, parody, that AI threatens most simply because it's riffing on songs that already exist.

On the other hand, the only reason I'd worry that a gen-AI could attempt a masterpiece like "Alternative Polka" is that Weird Al created it first.

AOC had to walk so Mamdani could run. Not only proving DSA candidates were electable, but also that they could actually do the job by being pragmatic (for better or worse).
