Blog post from the guy who created Dink Smallwood on why you shouldn’t feel bad for the Synths in “Detroit: Become Human” or feel bad about Cortana’s demise in Halo.

I hadn’t heard of the Chinese Room thought experiment before, but it is a good reminder of what software really is.

I hate to admit this, but I’ve never seen Buffy before… like, never seen an episode. I’ve seen the movie with Donald Sutherland, and I liked it.

I love Firefly, so I know Joss Whedon is great.

I do not like the Supernatural show from the 2000s.

It is spooky season right now and I would love to give Buffy a try, but I’m worried I won’t like it and all of my hopes and dreams for liking this spooky show will be gone.

Can someone tell me why Buffy is good so I can psych myself up for watching it?

I just had a kid of my own and I’m finding some feelings of resentment towards mom.

Like, there were some times where I didn’t receive the supervision I needed, or where I wasn’t taught certain life skills (because she was so busy with my siblings) and I just can’t imagine letting that happen with my baby.

Did you ever feel this way towards your parents when you had me? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks Pop.

I dunno if anyone else is with me, but the NFL Plus preseason coverage is just like the same 4 commercials over and over and over.

I’m losing my freaking mind.

It always says the trade is “fair” no matter what you put into it ;)

The guy can do it all!

From a recent FF in 60 newsletter:

The implosion risk on Tyreek Hill is starting to concern me enough to dock him out of the second round. Everything about his recent activity gives off “in it for me, not we” vibes

1) Quit on his team last year. 2) Still unresolved tension between him and Tua. 3) Publicly calling out Achane for not being good for third-and-short. 4) Says it’s very important to show up for team stretches on time, only to show up late two days later.

Thoughts?

This is a newsletter that (I think) is new and offers quick breakdowns of what happened the prior day in the world of Fantasy Football.

I’ve found the interpretations of the author to be pretty good. (Though, the polls at the end of each newsletter could use some review by a quantitative methods specialist — he definitely leads people to the answer he wants to receive).

I’ve noticed lately in a Dynasty League that I’ll be offered trades I’d definitely be willing to take at a loss but then there’s a couple of voices of other players in the league that pop into my head and it definitely makes me think twice.

There’s always going to be assholes out there talking smack, but I’m wondering just how much that factors in to trade decisions for others.

Not sure if it’s okay to post this here (just let me know and I’ll delete) but so thought time be fun to get a league together of just people from the Fediverse.

If interested, come join us!

Hey everybody! Let’s mix it up this year by having our very own Lemmy League!

Right now there are 12 spots and we’re about half filled. This will be a start 9 SF that’s just for fun (no cash trading hands).

Come and prove you’ve got what it takes!

Weird kind of ska and rock mixed together sound. I always loved them for that.
