Nothing says “Friday” like the failure of a critical system!

You’re totally right, lol
I was spelling from memory and I always pronounced it as “yerk” in my head because it rhymed with “jerk”.
I’m going to leave my mistake, I’m not ashamed to be imperfect.

Brain slugs from the Animorphs book series.

The yerks are on Earth.
- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 2 weeks ago:
Specifically a criticism of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger’s thought experiment is intended to make a person consider where/when the wave function is supposed to collapse.
Pilot-wave theory is another interesting interpretation. I feel like it’s a much more “intuitive” interpretation.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
Haha, I can actually get down with that. Anyone crazy enough to do that is probably a genuine person who’s willing to engage with the insanity of existence.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, in my opinion it shows the power consumer culture has to erode the meaning of things. “This symbol used to stand for something, but it got too popular and now it’s just slapped on stuff to sell merch.”

Never get into the details, that’s where the devil is.

I can’t speak for everyone, but when I wear a cross it’s in reference to Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”
To me the cross is symbolic of finding the courage to live our lives motivated by a radical love in order to overcome the fear of death and pain.
It’s like Goku once said while fighting to save the world “this is the power to go further beyond”

Or when Scout explains his date plan to Spy.
Spy: you have a dinner date for 7. What time do you arrive? Scout: 7… AM. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not I’ve gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30.

Quit your current life and move to a country where they speak the language you want to learn. Get a menial job in a small town, find new friends, and learn what love is. Then you’ll know what it truly means to speak a language.
- Comment on The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil. 5 weeks ago:
Or a different definition of “problem”.
- Comment on Tis the way 5 weeks ago:
Things won’t make people happy, happiness comes from within. People with financial resources can afford to spend a lot of time running from that truth.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 1 month ago:
Bullshit.
- Comment on If your dog realizes that your leather jacket is the skin of another animal then it probably thinks you're a psycho. 1 month ago:
I don’t think dogs are that judgmental.
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 2 months ago:
I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but based on your stated priorities recommend getting a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. As much as I love ricing Linux and playing games, I use my MacBook Air for 90% of all my computing and coding. MacOS provides the most polished user experience out of the box (although it’s going down hill with every update they push). And once MacOS hits the enshittification event horizon you can switch to Asahi.
I suggest at least going to an Apple Store and dicking around with a display model to get a feel for the UX.

Barely passed your English classes as well I assume. /s
- Comment on Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people” 2 months ago:
I’d say the biggest problem with AI is that it’s being treated as a tool to displace workers, but there is no system in place to make sure that that “value” (I’m not convinced commercial AI has done anything valuable) created by AI is redistributed to the workers that it has displaced.
- Comment on Avowed made me scream to my doctor: “I am a wizard!” 3 months ago:
I assume that when they die they’ll wake up from their wizard coma and it will coincide with some sort of cool plot point. Maybe his wizard body gets kissed by a frog or something.
- Comment on Why is lying on the floor more entertaining than lying on a bed? 3 months ago:
Because you’re more grounded.

Without appropriate structure will we be able to effectively communicate ideas?
- Comment on Did rap become more popular in asia in recent years? 5 months ago:
Hip hop has influenced Japanese culture to some degree. Samurai Champloo (released in 2004) is the most hip hop influenced anime I can think of, with Shing02 (born in 1975) being the Japanese rapper I’m most familiar with.
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike (1999) had a hip hop influenced style.
Whether or not rap is “more popular” now can probably be answered by doing some research. www.billboard.com/charts/japan-hot-100/
