A Great Turn

Got 6 slivers in play, so it cost 5 mana to sac and nuke something with Necrotic and then Unearth it, gaining 6 mana each time. I blew up most of the board.

Then I died. Worth it, however.

the worst thing that "generative ai" has done isn't the wholesale theft of truly mind-numbing amounts of art and literature, it's that its given the most annoying, poorly-read leftists the idea that freelance artists who beg for patreon dollars are somehow part of the bourgeoisie.

"rethink tthe idea of art ownership" and "labor is entitled to all it creates" are not ideas which can coexist.

It costs zero dollars to not defend the plagiarism machine. It costs zero dollars to listen to the vast majority of artists and writers that are telling you over and over and over again that this is wrong, that it is theft.

But no, god forbid. You people are so fucking selfish. It's disgusting. You're repugnant. You have no respect for art and artists and it is blatantly clear and i want absolutely nothing to do with you. I don't care if you unfollow me, or block me, or do whatever because I say, unequivocally, fuck ai art, because I'm right.

the fact that so many leftists are siding with union-busting tech billionaires openly talking about destroying the power of the work force because they want "free art" is so disgusting.

Ludditism, although tempting, is a demonstrably incorrect response to changing technological circumstances.

You keep Ned Ludd's name out of your filthy fucking mouth.

So, to explain, the term "Luddite" originally referred to professional weavers opposed to the automation of looms and textile mills.

They had extremely valuble and specific skills and were rendered unemployed virtually overnight as the result of automation. They were passed over to run the machines because they were too expensive, and their skills were not valued.

The term was almost immediately PR-ed into nonmeaning as "people scared of technology." But the issue wasn't technology, the issue was capitalism.

they were rendered unemployable and their skills were not valued because their skills were no longer valuable. good artists with creative vision will be fine and the AI will enable more people to actualize their creative visions. AI art is going to be beautiful for art as a whole

"it costs zero dollars" if what they want me to do instead is pay human artists it clearly costs >$0

It costs zero dollars and also all of my personal integrity so actually that's kind of too expensive for me.

To fix American politics, they should reform their parliament to have proportional representation for the house of representatives, and abolish plea bargaining. This is a boring, common-sense opinion. It will never happen, but it would abolish the two-party system and bring the criminal justice system crashing down.

My spiciest political opinion is that the US should abolish common law and adopt something based on the Code Napoleon, and adopt a new constitution where it is clearly spelled out what rights the states have, what rights the federal government has, what rights citizens have, and who can or cannot make which laws. This would accomplish more or less the same thing, and make it possible for Americans to actually vote on topics like guns and abortion, but is even less feasible.

How would that be any different than the current constitution that is already pretty explicit but whose text is not considered binding?

Man I haven't designed a CPU since March 2022, I should really try again

I barely remember anything but I'm reasonably sure doNx is "do negate x" and doZy is "do zero y"

And this one is extra bad! All the time I was writing it, I was considering writing a "better HDL to this crap" converter.

The one Catherine work(s?/ed?) on or something else?

But also no - I've just been rawdogging VHDL, Verilog, and, for my sins, the N2T Appendix A HDL which somehow manages to be worse than both despite being completely green field.

hey how the hell are you meant to kill the moonlight butterfly with a sword. I'm not a fucking wizard.

(I am going to look it up now. I only just got there and I saw it sit down one time so that might be it but I do have like twenty crossbows I haven't touched.)

killed the moonlight butterfly with a halberd, the power of hitting things very hard reigns supreme, fuck every wizard across space and time.

It is currently Real Conan Hours, who up?

Ridiculous. Jews are native to Egypt. It's right there in their own holy writings!

That aside, Palestinians are mostly Arabs, and as such are relative newcomers to the region, having invaded it around 1300 years ago. The Correct people to give the land back to are obviously the Amalekites, Moabites, and Edomites. Supposing you can find any.

That is the silliest answer. The real answer to

is:

How is that at all releveant? Your anon didn't say "land back for palestinians (not jews)"

Land back for everybody who had their land stolen.

What's up with the people who regularly like/reblog but aren't followers. I don't do that. Do they keep a tab open of blogs to specifically seek out but not follow?

I occasionally see something in "For You" that's of sufficient interest that I reblog it. I usually follow up by checking out the blog for Dashboard Quality, but there are many people who have good opinions but only rarely post on subjects that interest me, or otherwise are not follow-worthy.

I mean I do that exact thing - there's a number of blogs that I'd follow except the NSFW ratio is too high for it to be S For reading at W.

"Does this video game depict X?" is more complex than other forms of media because the player has input too. "My video game doesn't have dead children in it; you the player put the dead children in it with your gun" is not considered a good defense, and yet Mario Paint allows you to draw dead children and mario paint isn't considered violent. Perhaps, every text editor depicts Nazi propaganda of the worse sort because in theory you could type that in.

My favorite part of eating soup is putting way too much black pepper in it. Just a vector for pepper, into my mouth. Love it. Love the extra peppery bit at the very end because all of the pepper sinks to the bottom. I don't do this with any other food. Idk why.

A colleague who used to be a chef introduced me to "add pepper to your cheese" which seemed wild to me until I tried it.

This is so pretty!
