  • The Best Kind of Plot 👍

    Jump

  • Aang doesn't kill anyone, though. It's an important part of his character for the entire series.

  • It's important for the kids to have role models.

  • I thought it was meant to be Mike, hah.

  • Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue

    Jump

  • It's both.

  • The program can't pretend any more than it can tell truth. It's all just impressive regurgitation. Querying it as to why it "chose" to take any action is about as useful as interrogating a boulder on why it "chose" to roll through a house.

  • Trump Erupts in ‘60 Minutes’ Interview: ‘I’m Not a Pedophile’

    Jump

  • The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn't help but make it about himself.

  • If You Stop Hiring Juniors, Your Senior Engineers Own You

    Jump

  • They don't care because they think they're gonna be able to replace them, too. They're wrong, but that's not gonna stop them.

  • Giggling is such an enjoyable human activity

    Jump

  • Hearing people giggle makes me so happy because it feels like such a genuine reaction of theirs, and some people have delightful giggles. Nick Offerman has a great one.

  • Waymo 'driverless' taxi ploughs into London crime scene after double stabbing

    Jump

  • ...yes, that's what I said.

  • What author/work did the "varying character viewpoints" narrative first?

    Jump

  • It really did. I have my issues with various things in the Dune series, but Herbert's writing skill is not one of them. It's very impressive and clearly influenced large swaths of modern day writing.

  • ‘Doctor Who’ Star Peter Capaldi Responds to Online Backlash to Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa Castings: ‘I Don’t Know Why People Take it So Seriously’

    Jump

  • In my mind, even "bad" iterations of a thing I like are better than nothing at all, because that means it will have the opportunity to change in the future instead of just being gone forever. This goes for DW, Star Wars, etc.

    And "fans" that throw fits about their pet show not doing exactly what they want at all times aren't fans at all, they're just control freaks. The unfortunate thing is that praise is often less freely given than criticism, so the viewpoint of happy fans ends up being drowned out in the fracas. I try to do my part, but it does feel like shouting into the wind sometimes.

    Jump

  • I am reading Erewhon right now but so far no POV changes.

    After looking it up, it sounds interesting! Haven't read it myself, but the title made me think of Lord of the Rings, which does kind of do something similar, but pretty different at the same time. It's been a while since I read that, though, and my memory of it is pretty fuzzy.

  • 'Why does he keep speaking English to me?' Chinese woman scolds AirAsia crew for not speaking Mandarin

    Jump

  • "We" isn't as universal as you are suggesting here.

    Jump

  • Really? I see it every time. Bad thing happens in US: "Of course it did. Where else could it?" Bad thing happens outside of US: "Wow. [Other Place] really acting like the US here." Apparently racism, violence, and most other human sins only exist in the US to some people. It's weird.

  • TIL there was such a thing as lumberjack sandals.

    Jump

  • Cool video, though it doesn't look like the older pic used that technique. The lace paths don't match up.

  • Finally an apolitical instance!

    Jump

  • Burn gets a bad rap. People just don't like the game being over in 4 turns, but it takes good plays to make that happen, and even better plays to recover if it doesn't.

    Jump

  • MTG has its own political shitshow. Less so on Lemmy (been out of the loop for a while now, but figure it's still pretty chill given the meme), but Reddit was really bad with the dumbass takes people would post about the developers and shit. Typical "Forum dedicated to [thing] becomes mainly a place to hate on [thing]".

  • Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources

    Jump

  • Lol, "annoying". Good. Most people don't like their racism called out. Those with actual merit can manage to self reflect, though. Whining about how the calling out makes you feel bad is pretty much the opposite of that.

  • Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources

    Jump

  • Name calling has become so normalized in politics. It's seriously depressing.

  • it's just a pun-infused pop culture reference

    Pejoratively, and based on his race. I suppose you'd argue it's fine to call a Japanese man "Mr Miyagi", or African American man "Kunta Kinte"?

    This is the same shit racist, conservative bigots do, and it's not OK just because it's aimed at them this time.
