Peppa isn’t as bad as shit like Caillou, but Bluey is the best one by a mile.

Can I get in on that?

Case in point: the downvotes are from people who don’t know or care about the difference.

Unhealthy salad? Ha! Pull the other one!

Seriously though, the amount of greens that I’ve seen recalled due to e. coli is crazy.

Depends on what you’re calling AI. LLMs (and generative AI in general) are garbage for all those things, and most things in general (all things if you take their cost into account). Machine Learning and expert systems can do at least some of that.

I absolutely hate that generative AI is being marketed as though it’s deep learning instead of a fancy Markov chain. But I think I’ve lost the battle over that nomenclature.

But he had paper he printed out!

Those aren’t computers! They’re PCs! And that doesn’t stand for anything.

They’ll argue that a computer is a woman who performs calculations and since slavery is illegal he doesn’t own one.

They could pull a Dragon Age: The Veilguard and change directions 6 times during development.

If you’re feeling down try sertraline

You’ll feel less depressed than you have been

Disclaimer: Not all people will feel less depressed on sertraline. Avoid taking sertraline if you are allergic to sertraline. Some users report diarrhea, constipation, vomiting blood, kidney failure, dropping property values, itchy feet, or spontaneous suicide. Less than 1% of users report developing a condition known as “wandering eyeball”.

Ask your doctor if sertraline is right for you.

(This was not intended to poke fun at people taking SSRIs. It’s just the first generic name that came to mind. Keep taking your meds if they’re helping and hold your head high, friend!)

I’m not a big movie theater guy, but I do enjoy heading to the local Alamo Drafthouse occasionally because they have terror Tuesday and weird Wednesday. Then near Halloween it’s like a full day of horror.

I just like how they feel. Know what I’m sayin’?

Look, I’m not racist but I have to say, I fucking love peanut butter.

It’s loosely based on the lies of grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren. I have a strong aversion to anything dealing with them.

To be fair, I watched The Conjuring before I knew about their connection and didn’t like it. It wasn’t my style and I can’t imagine the other films in that universe are either. And I don’t judge others for not caring that they were involved, especially since they’re both dead now.

My buddy searched for a specific horror movie for years that he only saw a piece of when he was a kid. I watched a bunch as a teen, then we were in the Navy together he hosted bad movie day where a bunch of us would get together and watch 3 or 4 depending on the length of the movies. Worst movie that week won. 90% or more were horror.

Those were good times. He introduced me to Troma, The Granny, a bunch of movies with evil toys, weird shit you can’t tell people you watched without them looking at you like you might be a murderer, Killer Klown and tomatoes, and nearly every off brand slasher the 80s had to offer. I’ve kept watching ever since.

And I have no idea if he found out what the movie was. He hadn’t by the time we stopped doing movie day.

I stand by the fact that it’s a bad movie and that I love it. And the majority of the sequels. And the Demonic Toys crossover movie.

If you don’t believe it’s a bad movie then all I have to say is that I support your right to feel that way.

Finally, a subject I know about! I have watched a lot of really bad movies over the years. Many of them included that particular trope.

Demonic Toys. Puppet Master (sort of). M3gan. Annabelle (I guess, I didn’t see this one on moral grounds). Dolls. One of the Krampus movies. If you’re willing to stretch your meaning of the word toy there’s also The Hug. The Goosebumps TV show had a puppet. Loads of others.

We were both terrible people. We were 19 when we got married and enjoyed playing house for a while. We instigated each other at every opportunity. She cheated, we decided to make it work. Then we found out she was pregnant. I told her if she has it and it’s not mine then I wasn’t interested in taking care of her and the kid. She chose to have it (I was mad at the time, but in hindsight and with a lot of therapy behind me I realize that’s not really why I was mad, but I still made the right decision) so I made good on that promise.

She would hit me almost daily. I was severely emotionally abusive. I’ve grown since then and so has she. We’re not friends exactly, but we do periodically email each other to say hello or laugh about the actual good times if something reminds one of us of the other. Because there were plenty of good times.

We were 19 and in love with the idea of being in love. We both came from broken families and fucked up situations. And I think if we met today instead of back then we would be really good friends.

Agreed.

4/10. No mention of TempleOS.

Nah, this is a really good explanation.
