  Took the dogs to the vet the other day to get their shots, and the friggin rabies tags were Texas-shaped. Ugly!

  This is not completely correct though. It is our atmosphere/albedo/geological and natural processes that help maintain consistently livable temperatures, not just living in the habitable zone. No atmosphere? We’d be like the Moon, where it is too hot in sunlight and too cold in shade despite being similarly far from the sun as Earth.

  I think Data is too similar to being human to be mistaken for a clanker.

  I think the real test will be if LLMs start acting like exocomps. I don’t think this is at all likely but I never would have predicted that LLMs could be as accurate as they are or have so many weird emergent phenomena.

  It would be purely self-serving, tribal culture war outrage and not out of concern for giving fast food workers a holiday. I bet it would come from the same people who give out those Bible tracts disguised as US dollar bills as their tip at a restaurant.

  Millenials pwnd the n00bs with the best of the genX back in the day, but I think leetspeak was a lot more niche than say 67 is, it was very gamercoded/nerdcoded when that wasn’t cool.

  Source: am millenial who had a leetspeak AIM handle back then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder what humans do when they’re not taking showers. And where does all this water come from? And how did I become sentient?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If we want to take a shower from scratch we must first create the universe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect coal country in Kentucky, WV and rural PA and Virginia and the western plains in Nebraska and Kansas, which are already severely stressed with population loss, will see some real ghost towns soon. Especially if the Ogallala aquifer dries up in the latter case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since you said “house” I’m going to push back a little bit. Housing is unaffordable and we should address it but single-family homes are not a feasible solution for a lot of places and situations.

  I’m sure the page had lots of them once, but they all broke down or rusted away long ago, heh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with all you said, I just can’t believe it is possible for conservative viewers of the show to be blindered to the numerous, numerous ways where the show morals, both implied and very much stated, are antithetical to the entire value structure of the modern right-wing of the USA.

  But then again, when I think of the Trek fans I know in real life, it is surprising how many of them are Republicans. Not a majority, but enough. So they might just be overlooking the things they don’t agree with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A roundabout⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I regularly take a busy road with a two-lane roundabout marked this way and you can be sure that people will ignore these lane markers. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen a fender bender there before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At somepoint in human history there was likely a day where not a single human died.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If there was at least one, it also means there was a last day prior to today where no humans died, that went unnoticed and unremarked, and probably will be the last for a long time yet.

  A rightwing adaptation of A Modest Proposal for the Trump era might replace the Irish babies with illegal immigrants (think Alligator Alcatraz meets Soylent Green). The one snag might be that it would have to be Certified Fetus-Free, to placate the pro-life crowd.
