That’s fine. Being the fastest at getting from A to B using just legs is rarely a deal breaker. Though, you’d have probably tried harder if the trophy was called the “Least likely to die in an open field of zombies trophy”.

“ball of fire”
Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.
- Comment on The "We Tried" Award 2 days ago:
It felt worse. Getting a recognition certificate or a white ribbon for coming fourth was a total bummer to my care-factor for participating. Kick a kid while they’re down and they’re not likely to be motivated.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts 3 days ago:
It will burst. It’s expanding at the same rate it always has, just LLMs have gotten attention from normal users who seem to think “this is AI”.
For actual AI, nothing has changed. You still need extremely well governed data and lots and lots of controlled training, lots and lots of condition farming and resolving, all at considerable cost not worth it for BAU, just AI-soecific projects.
It’s already bursting, as people realise what is AGI and what is non-logic LLMs and why the latter has limited use, especially with awful mass “training”.
The most realistic outcome is that LLMs are able to assist in increasing the pace of AGI.
- Comment on 'A total failure' — Hungarian opposition leader says Ukraine EU accession national poll had lowest ever turnout 4 days ago:
Perhaps you’re confusing the EU with NATO or don’t quite understand the EU.
Them already being in a conflict would have little impact on the EU.

They’ll blame this for more ads and enough people will say, “Oh, that makes sense.”
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 6 days ago:
You’re right. Could literally design anything and people that know nothing about any of it could figure it out quickly. But instead, a salad of sex preferences, gender, race, kink, specific US cities, all appearing to be under the Intersex insignia.
It’s always seemed so bad to me that it’s more likely to be done by an anti-woke troll or someone like Michael Scott discovering Pride Month.
It’s just offensive. Obviously to the eyes, but also to any group being shoved together within its borders.

grab item, close pantry, wonder how many times this has happened before blanking out memory once again, go back to cooking

For me, first immediate issue was,
“Now let me settle in with my comfy computer jeans and leather boots.”
I bet that buttoned collar shirt has never seen Cheetos dust either.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 1 week ago:
They all sprung up in that period where flags were trendy. Every little camp had to have one to feel like a singled-out tribe—and, no, this isn’t just kink flags. This meant many would be flag designers overnight.
The result is there’s some really fugly designs out there in the wild now and the idiots can’t go back. But most people are over flag phase now, so you’re unlikely to ever see this and most others out in the wild.
Nothing fails more at its job than a pride flag that people have no idea what is. It’s almost irony.
And is this one ugly? Oh, yes. Enough to turn a person straight.
- Comment on There’s Good Posture, Bad Posture, and Golden Posture 1 week ago:
Honestly, if we’re gonna be this bad on our bodies, we may as well just lay down and have monitors above us as the norm. It sounds unhealthy, but only because we’d be admitting to ourselves how unhealthy were being so we may as well take care of our skeletons over the hours and days and weeks and years of the same shit.
- Comment on JD Vance gets suspended from Bluesky 'just 12 minutes after first post': reports 1 week ago:
It becomes very fatiguing. Especially when the same article is posted in several places.
To make things worse, it’s a trash article. It’s literally just quoting another article. So it’s bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.
There are a lot of simple users on Lemmy, though they’d hate to admit it. But we have this post in this community with those comments, soooo… GG, big brains 👍
- Comment on 16 Billion Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Passwords Leaked — Act Now 1 week ago:
Yeah, same. Long-time user of an em-dash—love a cheeky en-dash in my ranges too. But now LLMs are using them all the time, out of context, and with spaces on either side.
Is nothing safe?! Next it’ll be semicolons!
- Comment on Right to Repair Gains Traction as John Deere Faces Trial 1 week ago:
What Deere did was even more harsh. They tried to block off not only self repair, but third-party firmware that made the tractors work better, especially older ones that were out of warranty.
That’s straight up a major federal crime in my country. So that should give Americans an idea how balanced their scale of justice is at the moment.

That’s odd. So in Sync you could be led to believe slliced and diced.quotes are the full thing as is.

What kind of idiots are comparing the two? They’re different things with entirely different markets. There was never a battle to be had lol
- Comment on Hong Kong warns downloading game could be national security crime 2 weeks ago:
Just a PSA for general users; if you don’t want quote blocks starting and ending for each paragraph, you just add a > sign on the blank line between as well.
My brain defaults to seeing these posts as the OP taking select paragraphs from an article when most times they are quoting several paragraphs as one or the full article.
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 2 weeks ago:
I like referring to LLMs as VI (Virtual Intelligence from Mass Effect) since they merely give the impression of intelligence but are little more than search engines. In the end all one is doing is displaying expected results based on a popularity algorithm. However they do this inconsistently due to bad data in and limited caching.
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 2 weeks ago:
Our names, numbers, and home addresses used to be in a book delivered to everyone’s door or found stacked in a phone booth on the street. That was normal for generations.
It’s funny how much fuckwits can change the course of society and how we can’t have nice things.

I’ve just had .ml blocked for a long time and life’s been good. I would prefer defederation. If put democratically, I’m sure that’s what would be voted for as well.
- Comment on Pull to enter, you say? 3 weeks ago:
To be honest, I sometimes miss these because I’m tall and they’re so low, by the time I’m at the door, I don’t see anything obvious. I have to bend my head down to notice there’s writing on a button that otherwise looks like the top of a fob scanner or something.
Those big chunky buttons that push like emergency stop buttons but are green, they’re helpful.
- Comment on Calm down 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I feel like there’s rarely a “calm down” window for the men that need to hear it. There’s calm, then there’s hurting themselves by breaking things or hurting other people. “You need to calm the fuck down!” is likely to work, whereas “You need to calm down” will only make things work.
Insecurities fuelled by testosterone. Where fisty cuffing anything appears to be a positive step toward sound resolution.
