  Smell is a big part of attraction for me and the two places you can get the best smell of a person are pits and bits

  Do you have a source on it being the very first? I’m seeing one that came out in March 2016 which certainly makes it early but far from being the very first one

  Living in Seattle there weren’t like extreme weather swings but there are days where you get to see several types of weather softly cycle through. Sometimes in the winter I’d get snow and rain and sun and fog all in a single day, or days where I look in one direction and it’s rain and can’t see the sky and look the other direction and it’s blue skies and sun. Seattle has such stellar rainbows because of this

  I used to feel this too but honestly it’s been Nazi punching time for a while now. They’re not just trolling anymore they’re actively pushing the envelope for what were willing to normalize. I hope they get their jaw broken next time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a programmer and I do not use AI, I’m going to school with some programmers who also do not use AI (some do some don’t). I don’t need luck to find like minded people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m working towards starting my own indie studio. Games are made for people to experience people emotions and it takes a person to be able to understand them in a way that can be accurately conveyed. When I make my studio there will be no generative AI, not in the product not in development. Probably there is a way to use it to streamline some stuff and I’d argue it’s difficult but possible to use it ethically but why the fuck would I want a computer to do my art for me? Why would I want to rob myself or my team of the opportunity to express themselves to other humans?

  I made an AI generated cupcake recipe a while back. It was fine, it covered the bases, ratios were more or less correct, if someone were to give me one I’d eat it and not complain. But it was a technically correct cupcake not a good cupcake. It had no love, you could tell it had no love. People joke about that but it’s a real thing there’s something extra humans can do that AI can’t yet and maybe never will be able to, or not in a way humans relate with well. We’ve known how to make games with no love for a while now, that’s capitalism, but AI let’s us freeze dry the love out of everything at scale and the companies behind them are telling us that’s a good thing. Fuck that I’m not buying into it. I don’t make games for money, I barely make games for other people, tbh it isn’t even that fun most the time, I make games because it’s what makes the most sense to me for self expression. Games are what I know how to pour the most love into and an AI won’t help me with that.

  I wonder if taking up running would help speed up that process?

  I don’t think it’s uncommon but anecdotally the only people I know personally that have that are also diabetic. I’m not a doctor but if it were me I’d at least keep an eye out for other signs just in case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teach me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the person. I’ve had friends who get them all the time from basically any water. Meanwhile I can flop around in stillwater or death smelling run off and I’ve never gotten one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to use Windows 11 for my school computer, not allowed to change the OS. I didn’t realize how shit awful explorer had gotten between 10 and 11. For anyone reading this who has to use 11: there are explorer alternatives. I use OneCommander and it let me change the default explorer for shortcuts and when other programs bring things up like with “show in folder” options. I don’t have to use windows explorer anymore and while it’s no Linux at least it doesn’t have fucking copilot and it gives me back basic control

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible but imo unlikely. I know its very different in a lot of ways but Starbucks at least will close a location to “save money” practically day of a successful unionizing vote. A union gets harder to squash the longer they’re around, and more likely to spread to other locations, so companies get pretty trigger happy about shuttering places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m moving from a “not bottom of the ladder but pretty damn low” test automation position to the game industry and I’m expecting to make half as much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My internet is so bad it can sometimes take me over a dozen tries to get a web search to load. It likes to flicker on and off so a lot of times it’s a matter of being lucky that it is on when I try and load something or when a program does a check. Depending how the requirement is built it could make it nearly impossible for me to install windows (not that I would, I use Arch btw, but I’m on the same infrastructure as a bunch of students also suffering from shit internet and they mostly use windows).

  For example I can usually download things it just takes a long time. There is a mod list tool though I would love to use but during it’s verification check if any mod fails to respond then it aborts the whole operation. I have roughly a 100% chance of several mods’ pages failing to handshake the first couple tries so the tool is useless to me.

  It’ll really depends on the disability since most countries have a big focus on ability to work in a sought after field

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Us citizen here recently moved to Sweden. I have a lot of things going for me: I was able to save up money working in tech, I’m using that to pay for living and tuition on a study permit, recently divorced and mostly estranged so I don’t have a lot of ties holding me back, I have a sought after skillset and enough savings to basically be guaranteed I was accepted.

  I’m still struggling with everything. There was and is so much paperwork, so many loose ends, even after getting here it’s just been months of hardship trying to get stuff lined up. Trying to get my savings out of USD without interrupting being able to pay for things and not risk being flagged for money laundering is an ongoing battle. Housing here is wonky and I’m risking homelessness next year if I can’t get it figured out in time. I have no strong community ties here yet so I’m toast if I stumble too badly. The US has their grubby hands all up in my business still so I’m answering to two countries at any given time instead of just one.

  There are certainly avenues people can take to get out of the US that are easier than what I’ve done but anyone who says it is easy is full of shit or incredibly privileged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel deeply embarrassed about being from the US. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends out of necessity, later realizing they were all assholes, and trying to come to terms with the fact you spent so many years with them. I love outside the US now and I’m even more embarrassed to be from the US. Every time there’s some culture shock my takeaway is either “wow how did I normalize this broken aspect of the US” or “I wish I was from somewhere that didn’t do those things to that person’s country”.

  I also feel embarrassed and guilty over getting out of the US. I worked in tech and now I’m living off tech savings to start a life outside the US. I left my friends behind many of them are struggling financially, I left my community behind many of which are actively homeless, I chose to leave. Sure I’m leaving in part because my trans ass is on the chopping block but I see a lot of trans people fight harder instead of flee. I fought for so many years though and I couldn’t keep doing it so I left. The US did this to my community, made me confront choices I never wanted to make, I’m disgusted by having paid taxes to the war machine, and I justify working in tech as a way out of there but really I feel guilty over choosing to buy into that side of the US too so I could secure personal safety.
