The flip side to this is an escalation of break-ups that happen on or around Valentine’s Day every year, since the holiday encourages those en-coupled to have serious conversations with themselves about their relationship and if they actually like where they are and with whom. Surprise! Not so much.

Valentines day is about the tragedy of romance, either not having it or not getting it or finding out it was wrong all along.

And day-after chocolate sales.

I’ve gotten comments about the various far right wolves and dogs organizations as if they defined all furries. They’re ruining it for the rest of the kin.

It isn’t the first time a subdemographic’s reputation extends inappropriately to the rest of the group.

December 7, 1941.

How to tell the techs you’re lying without telling the client

…And they’ll still win because some essential minority bloc will believe their promises of free beer and butter.

In my culture we had nothing but roadkill and weeds to eat, so we got really good at making stuff palatable. << Most cultural food legends.

I assume it was Christmas like Narnia Christmas; not quite the same holiday.

But did you get high?

(Most AC recipes are for rec drug use.)

I don’t get six-seven at all, but it’s not the first time I didn’t jibe with slang.

Offline LLMs exist but tend to have a few terabytes of base data just to get started (e.g. before LORAs)

It doesn’t matter. Buddha is Buddha.

If it is, then I failed to get the joke.

The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It’s no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don’t actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.

It’s not a completely unrelated topic. It’s just esoterically related, or a delightfully similar paradigm when juxtaposed.

We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.

So it’s really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.

Not 2025-12-25, or 12/25/25, or 25/12/25?

I’m confused why we have a 25th month this year.

Also, assuming the human species is still around and celebrates Christmas, there will be a 2525/12/25

Some of us knew Trump had a history of fucking 13-year-old Russian girls in 2016 before the election. The victims tried to sue but were pressured to drop the suits via classic mobster-style threats of violence.

Sadly, my dad is a total MAGA loyalist.

Authoritarianism is far right along the spectrum, and liberalism is center, center-right or center-left depending on the specific tenets set by the movement. (There are multiple liberalisms out there.)

Neoliberalism as practiced by the US Democratic Party and the UK Labor Party is right wing.

I have contempt for Trump over a lot of things, but being gay isn’t one of them, whether or not it’s implied by circumstances.

But I do enjoy that Trump loathes being thought of as potentially gay, even though I imagine he’d fuck anything, including flags and his own daughter.

PS: Stormy Danials spanked Trump with a magazine, so he does have submissive bones in his body; at least a few.

The humor is the same font from which all the Tinder jokes are made: it’s not that they’re gay, but they’ve collectively dug a hole in which they have to hide it and slink away when the evidence reveals itself.

All that said, I think the blow Bubba comment was more likely a reference to prison sex which is situational. For some reason, we have an archetype of a scary black man named Bubba who is in – and often runs – maximum-security penitentiaries.

I thought Dickheads were those who followed Phillip K. Dick and all things Dickian.
