23·13 days agoFuck.
I’m reminded of that early South Park episode where Chef explains that the best way to make a baby cry is to first give it candy.
Then, once the baby is happy, only then do you take it away.
The best way to hurt people is to lift them up first, so the fall back down hurts twice as much…

672·13 days agoThis, and accidentally legalizing hemp weed are possibly the only positive things to come out of this whole debacle
All of these came on basic airwave stations in my area. (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, UPN, WB, PBS, etc.,).
It wasn’t until later that they were syndicated and played on cable TV.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you conduct research in the AI age?English
10·20 days agoI don’t use them regularly, but I agree. Actual research involving peer-reviewed journals has nothing to do with AI.
EBSCOhost, PNAS, JStore, etc., all continue to exist outside the realm of AI, and I don’t really consider anything to be “research” outside of this realm.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•I finally joined the retro gaming handheld club!English
13·28 days agoI got the original STEAM Deck, and it has been a godsend for emulation.
It handles Switch titles with upscaling, and even PS3 games. It struggles with Skate 3 on PS3 though, which is the main one I’d like to play.
I’ve had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you’re right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.
One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I’m old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn’t happened yet.
Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.

Games@lemmy.world•Day 624 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish
12·1 month agoI never have enough time for games, but I loved this one so much that I made time.
The visuals were amazing. The story was decent, and the gameplay kept me engaged.
I especially liked the second island. Hallucinating on a tropical island while battling inner demons was a perfect intermission between acts.
I have yet to fork out $80 for Yotei though (I want it, but that’s pretty steep for me). It seems most reviews say it’s got a lot going for it, but it’s just not Tsushima.

news@lemmings.world•Trump threatens to walk away from Iran war and pull U.S. out of NATOEnglish
11·1 month agoThinking of things in terms of what’s good for the country might not be informative of the motivations here.
Most of the terrible decisions are a net positive in regards to the personal enrichment of the administration’s associates and power-players.
As long as they spin it as a positive to the gullible voting populace, it doesn’t matter what the administration does.

Skateboarding@piefed.social•Now that it's over, how did people feel about the first season of the Professional Skateboarding League?English
10·1 month agoLike a couple other competitions, a lot of times it felt like watching golf to me.
I loved watching the highlights, but much of it was too slow moving and low energy for my attention. I’m not sure I care for the sanitized version of skateboarding it promotes.
Glad it was a thing, but definitely not the first thing I watch to get amped up to skate.
Highlights were dope though.

10·1 month agoWell, he inadvertently kept that promise…
The people that are open to exploration and travel are generally not the ones opposed to progressive city planning.
The fear-based mindset opposed to change at any cost is not exactly conducive to exploring other cultures.
I get you, but “middle class” in America harkens to a time when a salaried position provided its own safety net (affordable university degrees, affordable housing and healthcare, and an income that not only covers it all, but also enough to pay for retirement with added wealth to leave the next generation)
I may be wrong, but “working class” in America implies a non-salaried job without many benefits.
The middle class is disappearing and most Americans are a paycheck away from being the ones they pity.
Extended protests are easier in countries that have a safety net.
Americans risk police violence, criminal records, and potential perpetual poverty.
Despite that, Minnesotans have protested ICE occupation for months in nearly record-breaking deathly cold, just to send a message. How much that accomplished is up to opinion.
(Whataboutism, I know, but,) As the rest of the world falls in line with far-right social and economic policies with little opposition, it is a hypocritical vantage point to criticize Americans who are themselves victims of neo-fascism.






Dumb question, but…is Claude worse than GPT or Gemini?
