they demonstrate rich theory of mind, reasoning about adversary beliefs and anticipating their actions; and they exhibit credible metacognitive self-awareness
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 1 week ago:
Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.
There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.

Don’t do this.
Use a rifle instead - you can stay at a much safer distance.
Oh, uh… In Minecraft. Modded, ofc.

Murican here. Our food needs to be color coded or we get confused.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I had an X-ray and some ibuprofen at an ER two years ago, and if I miss another payment they’ll put out a warrant for my arrest - off to my side hustle! (top and/or bottom hustle still available, if anyone’s hiring!)

…I mean, this isn’t automatically bad advice. Kinda depends on the quantity and frequency of the alcohol vs calories. If you’re having a glass of wine at the end of an otherwise nutritionally well-executed day; vs going apeshit with candy, soda, chips, etc - but not drinking; the former is definitely the better of the two. Recognizing and leveraging those kinds of patterns are key t making some change a habit.
Especially if you treat this as a stepping stone to develop some good habits while weening off of bad ones - for that to work you need to tolerate some degree of bad ones as you dial them closer and closer to zero.
Perfect is the enemy of good
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah like I said, it sounds like they’ve done a lot to try to turn their product into something closer to what they advertised, but that doesn’t excuse their initial deception.
If they were a car dealer or something, and advertised a souped up 2026 Ferrari, which their customers enthusiastically ordered en mass; only to realize upon delivery that they received a 2007 Honda Civic with the Ferrari logo sloppily painted onto the side, they’d be in jail. Because it’s a videogame, the legal system didn’t give a fuck, so they just let it slide, but what they did was 100% false advertising. They didn’t just bit off more than they could chew, they stated clear as day that it contained a plethora of features that it simply did not.
Their decision to later send a series of free Honda-to-Ferrari conversion kits was a nice and extremely unexpected gesture, but doesn’t absolve them of their initial crime.

No Man’s Sky, near it’s release. Starting out it felt pretty novel, and finishing that first repair of your ship, getting inside of it, lifting off, looking up at a distant planet in the sky, and just fucking going to it all without a load screen… I cannot overstate how insanely epic that felt!!
…and then the player experience hit a brick wall as you realize more and more clearly that the game you bought doesn’t come close to the game that was advertised. Ya done got scammed!
Word is they’re done a shitload to correct that last paragraph, but dude initial wound still fucking stings.

- Comment on Save as PDF 3 weeks ago:
I mean, fucking with a PDF isn’t exactly arcane knowledge, even after it’s been signed. It’s just cumbersome and tedious and requires counterintuitive actions like pressing Ctrl+P instead of Ctrl+S.
If their purpose is to be secure, they’re shit at their job.

Tech muggle here.
Could we just get rid of PDFs and switch to word docs and spread sheets instead? I know this will likely cause a slurry of consequences, especially in professional circles, but have you considered: fuck it.?
K thx bye.

Feeling the heat comes from your capsaicin receptors, which are fortunately distinct from taste. It’s more of a pain receptor.

- Comment on This Tool Searches the Epstein Files For Your LinkedIn Contacts 3 weeks ago:
I kind of dove a bit deeper into that kind of shenanigans for nursing school - copying entire chapters from my text books and using find and replace wildcards clip out all the bullshit like in-text citations.
Plug that fucker into some text-to-speech software, and my reading assignment just became a listening assignment!
I do wish I knew some actual code… I’ve tried to dive in and self-learn that stuff, but didn’t make it very far.
I should take an actual class.
- Comment on This Tool Searches the Epstein Files For Your LinkedIn Contacts 3 weeks ago:
Is there a tool that crunches the entirety of the documents and sorts the individual words by frequency? For example, doing it the stupid way (semi-manually) I copied OP’s article into Word and replaced every space with a page break to turn the entire article into a one-word-per-line list, then plugged that into Excel and sorted alphabetically, then manually counted and deleted the repeats. Then sorted those to put the most frequent on top.
This reduced the 525 word article down to a list of 284 individual words. If I added another article to this list, the number of entries would only be increased by the number of words in the 2nd article that didn’t appear in the first one, so basically as more and more articles are added, the number of unique additions from each would be fewer and fewer. Do this to a thousands-of-pages of documents like the Epstein files, and you could instantly condense like dozens of pages worth of just the word “the” down to a single entry, making the entirety of the documents much easier to skim for highlights… like, if the word ‘velociraptor’ was just randomly hidden in the article, most readers would probably skim right passed it; but in the list below it would stand out like a sore thumb, prompting a targeted search in the full document for context. Especially if we could flag words as not interesting, and like click to knock “the” “of” “and” etc off the list.
…maybe a project for someone who actually knows what they’re doing… my skills hit a brick wall after things like ‘find and replace’ in Word, but you get the gist.

YSK legal rights don’t mean shit to administrations that don’t respect the law. Compliance with ICE can be deadly - arm yourself and do whatever you need to do to stay safe.

Surgical tech here! This is one of those ‘prank the new guy’ jokes you see in the OR. I’ve seen play out almost verbatim to the OP a couple different times.
Original OP may well be quoting Scrubs, but I’d wager this prank predates Scrubs by a hefty margin too.
“Go get me a jug of elbow grease” kind of shenanigans.

- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 1 month ago:
We don’t have the spine for a civil war. Closest thing we’ll feasibly see are a few targeted political assassinations. Things will get kinda noisy after that in a bickering kind of way, but most of us won’t even remember it by the following Monday. It’ll fizzle out.
