@Momentrabbit LOTS of things are healthier than their equivalent value of uncooked cheese. :)
re: POKER FACE, "ESCAPE FROM SHIT MOUNTAIN" (S1E9) SPOILERS
I mean, her whole banjo leitmotif is straight out of a "lost lovable miscreant dog" show from the 1970s ferchrissake... Gonna start callin' her Boomer, or Benji, or Wishbone. XD (Or Coyote Doggirl, h/t to Lisa Hanawalt...)
She's such a good scragglepuppy though. You just know that in her last canid life she had a reluctantly adopted little flock of ducklings following her around, or something...
re: DeSantis, media control
@eredien I have literally been calling that motherfucker EVERY SINGLE DAY with a new piece of invective on a totally different topic.
@porsupah @Momentrabbit Man, this is one of those days I'm grateful Martian tigers have nine hearts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeYZd87353g (Apologies for the link to the Evil Food Conglomerate's channel, sadly the sweet old granny I usually link to for Mexican food seems to have had an uncharacteristic bout of common sense and self-preservation, and passed on this one. :D )
@porsupah @Momentrabbit Nah, they can just steal it straight from Mexico like they did everything else. :>

@Momentrabbit Apparently there's also a taqueria around here, up in the Crazy White Conservative suburbs, that will wrap one of those around a super burrito. *thrilled, frightened, almost awestruck shudder*
@Momentrabbit Tsk! You get ONE. Per life. Period.
(And I want half. 🐯 )
@arthurwyatt As an occasional kitten-rancher and aspiring part-time cat, I spotted at least twelve flaws in your containment system. However, I am contractually obligated by the Feline Council not to tell you what they are. :>
re: philosophy, what is this called?
@relee I dunno how accurately this describes what you're going for, but...
re: philosophy, what is this called?
@relee You might want to do a Wikipedia dive on "naturalism," specifically in a literary context. If they're talking about Mark Twain and Stephen Crane, you're in the right place.
@anthracite YES, THIS. <3 This sort of rework would fix a LOT of our problems -- that panel always looked so *flat* to me, too, and that totally fixed it. Great edit, hun. <3
re: Horror game idea (3). Mechanics and components. No jumpscares. No violence mentioned.
@JulieSqveakaroo I like this, this is a underserved horror genre in gaming. Kinda reminds me of both Danganroppa and the "No End House" season of Channel Zero, both of which are very good and NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF IT. XD
perv gear, zeerust, black ICE(?), extremely large polynomials and yes that is a euphemism for something
So @anthracite has new breast pumps. They are shiny and solid black and make her look rather like a cyborg. I want to dress her up in a trenchcoat and have a hot night of shadowrunning on the town together, maybe pennyskim the Orbital Bank of Zurich with her four terabit nipples.

3. worse, we have an uncanny ability to anthropomorphize anything we interact with whether or not it has intelligence in that way.
basically people are computers for working with other people and thus like how a hammer makes everything look like a nail, we make everything look like a person
AI discourse, New Yorker link
and it hits me, the comparison to how rephrasing is often a good sign that people understand something but is not a good sign that computers do gets to some points that I've made several times:
1. that these relatively simple statistical models "work" says much more about how _we_ think than if the models think
2. that we don't have a non-anthropocentric model of intelligence and thus are doomed to fail to recognize intelligences we can't interact with
@porsupah low. standard. 😼
