Hey, there’s also “CNN talking mfer”. I was called that for recalling my literal personal experiences of interacting with Russians years before full scale war.

I was looking to buy a membership at some nearby gym, and half of them can only be contacted through Instagram, no number, no email, just goddamn Instagram that I’m not gonna sign up for. What the hell. 🌚

We’re talking about mindless consumerism tho, where with each piece of useless shit bought there will be less satisfaction (or dopamine reward in other words) until it’s just shopaholic behaviour.

I’ll just add that it may also simply be Soviet heritage of doctoral negligence. Fucking dentists, for example, didn’t properly sanitize their tools and were one of the main reasons of Hepatitis A spread. Most older folks in my family had some (thankfully mostly minor) medical issues, caused by Soviet medicine being utter shit.

And like with actual drugs - effects get diminished up to a point where addicts just look for a fix. 🌝

Wikipedia says it’s a word for people of mixed white and Asian descent.

I’m working at a university, and hoo boy, did we use a lot of cracked shit. And funniest thing is that half of that shit can be acquired legally for free as part of education licensing.

I’m happy to be the part of reason why in recent years my department has been shifting towards FOSS alternatives. Like yeah, it’s not morally wrong to pirate from the likes of Adobe or Microsoft, but I’m not a fan of people even simply making a habit of using software from aforementioned companies.

I’d just point out that people who made AI possible are researchers and engineers, and Jensen is just a grifting market speculator, trying to put a price tag on something that can run on your own hardware rather than power hungry data center.

Well, main developer of Lemmy once posted something like this:

Who doesn’t support Russia - doesn’t understand geopolitics.

So yeah, I switched to PieFed once figured out that its devs don’t want me dead from a russian missile for the crime of existing.

It kinda happened back in 2022. They packed vans with Rosgvardiya guys and sent them towards Kyiv. After all, Russians expected they’ll be done with Kyiv in 3 days and already sent these guys in to break protests.

Result: panty boys were well done, right in their riot gear and shit.

Printing with that would be crazy expensive tho. 300€ a 1kg spool that will lose chunk of its mass upon baking it to remove plastic, and we’d need few hundreds of these.

I remember there being news earlier this year about Mitch saying sorry for shit he’s done. Probably was visited by three ghosts. 🌝

I’d say alcohol may be a contributing factor - initial release of dopamine may trick one into feeling of excitement and hyperactivity, then one spends more energy than they should’ve had and end up with delayed onset over-exertion. And then yeah - one is too tired to sleep, which is absolutely a thing.

Unfortunately Germans tend to get very dense when it gets to some political stuff. 🌝

Some simply don’t get what is so controversial about building Nordstream in the first place and how it undermines their independence (and I don’t just mean energy independence).

They have Gerhard Schröder as a clearest example of someone given a share in Russian gas sales, but Nordstream is just “two countries doing business, is buying energy from France also undermining our independence?”.

Well, you’re really out of luck with any content that even mentions him - as Sam Altman is just one big walking talking butt crack. 🗿

Chewbacca fallacy. It makes no sense!

Yeah, fuck off Sammy. I was playing with Markov chains on my Core 2 Duo PC before OpenAI was even a thing, it’s my God given right to keep stochastic parrots at home, and weird cryptofascists won’t take it off me!

I’m so tired of people talking about “provoking Russia”. That is such a disgusting rhetorical maneuver to lift any responsibility from Russia, making it seem like Russia just reacts to actions of neighbours rather than contemplates invading neighbours for the crime of being neighbours of Russia. The only way to not provoke Russia is to be far enough from it, otherwise one will be living in “primordially Russian land”.

If one wants to see Gen Z in action - there’s Nepal. They burned parliament down, and waved fucking One Piece flags while at it.

Not exactly academia example, but I sometimes think about how Pol Pot’s former pupils later described him as rather chill teacher, and of similar anecdotal accounts on Mussolini as a teacher.

I work part-time with kids (and full-time in academia 🗿), teaching them robotics, and what I can say - little shits can drain your soul.
