  • It's been 120 days since I started giving a shit and the last month I've really started struggling more but I've been going with it at a slower pace, gone are the weeks of 3 pound losses and now it's more like 1 pound. I did hit a new low today crossing another pound marker now at 33 pounds lost. I wanted to start doing walks in the evenings with my mother as a way to just add some exercise in but getting motivated is difficult after a full day of work. I've started only using the elevators for my way into work which isn't a ton but it's something.

  • There was once a man who chopped logs for his village. Day in and out he would carry the firewood on his back, but as time went on he grew weaker and more frail. One day he grew tired and threw down the wood and called out for death to come to him. When death arrived he asked what the old man wanted and after pondering for a while he asked death to help him put the logs on his back. When faced with death he had realized he wasn’t ready to die.

    Microsoft is using some third party AI to identify videos that violate their Minecraft EULA and strike them down

  • the effective altruist club came to my restaurant last weekend

    Jump

  • The most infamous of the bunch is SBF of the FTX fraud fame. Essentially their entire schtick is that they have to become ultra wealthy so they can donate more money and thus be more effective with their altruism. They usually end up working finance and arguing that since they make a lot of money and their donations are bigger they're better off than if they were doing a more useful job and not giving even a small portion of what they were.

    The Scandal NASA Wishes Never Happened

  • Dollar General warns poorer US consumers are running out of money

    Jump

  • When I first moved into this neighborhood we had a Bottom Dollar, then Aldi bought them out and closed almost all of them getting rid of the closest grocery store that served a fair amount of the community. There was one like another 5 minutes away or another one 10 minutes away on arterial streets. Then the one that was 5 minutes away closed after it was sold and the only reason it's a grocery store today is because the previous owners insisted the buyer had to make it a grocery store, otherwise you'd just have a food desert for a lot of the immediate vicinity that had the poorest families in the city.

    Dollar General moved into where that original Bottom Dollar grocery store was and was the only convenient place to get food for a few years if you didn't have a car. There's another Dollar General 10 minutes up the road where a Dollar Tree used to be. There's yet another probably another 7 minutes away from that second one, after that I couldn't tell you since they're fucking everywhere and there's probably 3 I'm not even aware of because I just don't turn right at a certain intersection.

  • So I found out the bugfuck heatwave in the Midwest is called 'corn sweat'

    Jump

  • I sorta felt this when I lived in Japan going from a sorta urban environment to a farm and back on my commute home and going on the roads that had the plants right next to it was obviously more humid on those really warm days.

  • Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been delayed again, this time to 'add more endings to the game' along with some extra polish

    Jump

  • Watching a video on FNAF: Security Breach the guy had a pretty good system for measuring, first delay shows that they care about polish and are okay taking a bit more time for it to cook, second time signifies significant management issues where they've now missed their deadline twice and you should probably start feeling uneasy, after two delays, just throw your expectations in the garbage and just pray that it comes out at all.

  • AOC’s speech at the DNC featuring unequivocal support for Harris!

    Jump

  • I somehow misread it as "AOC's speech at the DNC featuring unequivocal support for Hamas" and was wondering why it was in the dunk tank.

  • When I was a lib, I was sort of just like... a communist who needed permission to be a communist, this lead me to believe this was the case for the vast majority of libs, finding out I was wrong sucke

    Jump

  • Sorta similar for me, once Bernie ran in 2016 socialism became kinda non-taboo and once I started looking it was very fast to just go "oh yeah capitalism does suck" after seeing the issues for a while but never really having it click. Still had a lot of brain worms to work through and still have a bunch that I probably haven't even noticed yet, but I feel like once I went anti-capitalist it took a long time for me to find out where I was in the giant pile of leftist labels. Kinda just picked up anarchism because when I still watched breadtube it seemed like the least offensive since it didn't challenge a lot of brain worms. Also I was chatting a girl up that said she was a leftist and when I self identified as an MLM she ghosted me. Then after kinda running with it, learning more and doing more self crit and reading theory COVID happened. The correct response to COVID was displayed by China and required "authoritarianism" to enact, and then it was just kinda like the last piece fell out and now I'm what I would've called a tankie back in 2018.

  • Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is the best CRPG ever

    Jump

  • I found it rather janky and just couldn't get into it despite really wanting another crpg to play. The camera controls and party movement just really felt awful for me. I'm also not super familiar with pathfinder and the last exposure I had with it I was playing Kingmaker which wasn't a bad game, but also I sorta didn't find it the most enjoyable thing. I bounced off WotR in the tutorial. Compared to BG3 where the combat encounters were still basic through the tutorial on the nautiloid they were peppered in enough for me to grow accustomed to the combat while also giving me space, in the start of WotR you're running down some caves with bugs attacking you every 50 feet or so and even then the combat felt like it had no weight. After the caves, the idea that there's a maze waiting for me and it's probably full of more lackluster combat encounters but it's also a maze just made me peace out.

  • Watching G*mers slowly realise Skyrim is dogshit has been an experience

    Jump

  • I had basically the exact same experience. I got super hyped for 11/11/11, stopped going to school for a week and spent all day every day playing it to the point where I was solving puzzles in my dreams and then I beat it and never really touched it again. I kinda woke up from the dream back then and have been watching the rest of the world catch up. I did put a lot of hours into FO4 but that was solely for the base building aspect, never touched the main plot after the first time through.

  • Terrible Side Effects of "Weight Loss" Drugs

    Jump

  • The idea that these people normally eating 3000-5000 Calories a day can just jump over to 1200 a day instantly and should they "cheat" or stumble while trying get yelled at on a man that holds the potential to save your life in his hands. If it wasn't a giant circus they'd approach it reasonably stating that even 2500 a day would be enough for a significant loss which would allow for a less sudden and abrupt change, not to mention the fact that most aren't really given proper mental health support for what is 1000% stemming from mental health issues.

  • OpenAI could be on the brink of bankruptcy in under 12 months, with projections of $5 billion in losses

    Jump

  • But then how will people write 20 cover letters a day to keep up with the increasing rate of instant rejections?

    Saw a really depressing ad at work the other day where Google was advertising their thing and it was some person asking their LLM to write a letter for their daughter to this athlete bragging about how she'll break her record one day. They couch it in "here's a draft" but it's just so bleak. The idea that a child so excited about doing a sport and dreaming of going to the Olympics and getting a world record can't just write a bit of a clumsy letter expressing themselves to their hero is just beyond depressing. Writing swill for automated systems that are going to reject you anyway is one thing, but the idea that they think that this is a legitimate use of these models just highlights how obnoxiously out of touch they are.

    How do we learn and grow as people and find our own writing voices if we don't write some of the most cringe shit imaginable when we're young. I wrote a weird letter to Emma Watson in middle school, nobody ever read it, but it was a learning experience and made me actually have to think about my own feelings. These techbros have to have been grown in vats.
