I hate the existing copyright system and would love to see it contested.
My brother in Christ, they're literally contesting it

The earth stabilized video of the re-entry also gives a better idea of what was happening.
Looks like everything I've ever done in Kerbal

Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims
Reply in thread
Your Undivided Attention discussed an important point missing from the article, which is that ChatGPT advised him to hide his activities and concerns from his parents. This doesn't necessarily absolve the parents, but it does add a layer of nuance to the discussion

Exactly. I started learning harmonica on those $20 pack of 8 and struggled for weeks to get anything to sound close to what I wanted. When I spent $60 on a decent instrument, I could suddenly do what I'd been practicing. There's a sweet spot for getting good enough equipment to actually learn without blowing the budget on something you may not continue doing

Lindsey Graham Says Joy ‘Doesn’t Exist in the Real World’

I grew up in a pretty conservative household and we were literally raised that life is work and work is hell. By way of the transitive property, life = hell. It's taken a long time through various degrees of depression and I'm still not fully grown out of it.
But yes, the entire culture and identity is about being miserable and persevering through it, even if that means making yourself and everyone around you more miserable to justify the perseverance.
Like the saying "nothing good comes free." You could say the sunrise is free, but they'll argue it's not because you have to wake up early and waking up early is by necessity miserable so that the sunrise can be good. They're brainwashed into thinking the only way a good thing happens is through suffering. Except the truly lost ones who only see life as suffering.

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

We're living through the return of the robber barons. This time, however, they can implant their thoughts directly into every single person's hands at any instant. That's why your point is the most salient, most important, and most downplayed

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in NYC mayoral primary leaves Wall Street 'alarmed' and 'depressed'
I do not understand how people can have so much fucking money and not want to actually help people with it. But maybe that's why I'm poor

Hate to see all the suffering

Listen here, Little Dicky
I found math in physics to have this really fun duality of "these are rigorous rules that must be followed" and "if we make a set of edge case assumptions, we can fit the square peg in the round hole"
Also I will always treat the derivative operator as a fraction

Sorrows you could not comprehend
In high school math class we got paired up for a worksheet and instead of doing any math we spent the hour listing the first 150 Pokemon in numerical order. Been chasing that high ever since
