Do we? I remember watching movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels when I was younger and never having a clue what they were talking about.

AI is trained on the Internet. Look at the bullshit on the Internet. AI will take some random schmoe’s bullshit opinion and present it as hard fact.

That, and it just re-introduced the problem of being able to see search results without visiting any of the resultant websites. The last time, sites ended up burying answers down the page to avoid being able to see results in search previews. Making everything shittier. What kind of response is there going to be to AI summaries? Everything will undoubtedly get even shittier as sites try to get people to visit and not just read the AI summary. Hello even more obfuscation. We’re taking the greatest method of spreading information around the globe ever devised and just absolutely filling it to the brim with bullshit.

To compare this to music streaming, I have a couple of tracks with ~4 million listens, and they each made ~$20.

I’m not Korean, but I’ve lived here for twenty years. Gayageum is probably the most famous Korean instrument, but I’m partial to the haegeum. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OfsFoUell4Y&pp=ygUSaGFlZ2V1bSBpbnN0cnVtZW50

I played through Phantasy Star one more time not that long ago. It came out (in English) in 1988.

Always? OK, I guess. It’s probably going to make teaching hard, though.

Oh shit, this is that stupid fucking comic again, isn’t it?

I’ve done that. It’s not the worst. To be fair to me, I live in Korea and tahini is prohibitively hard to find. (Chick peas have at least become more common over the years.) Lately, I use olive oil and sesame seeds blended into a kind-of pseudo-tahini instead. It’s definitely better than the peanut butter.

Definately!

You also downloaded 5 offensively funny songs wrongly attributed to Weird Al.

You see a few of them here-and-there in Korea these days. They’re extra infuriating here because they don’t fit in most parking spaces and they’ll straight-up turn a lot of two-way roads into one-way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with something in the bed. Purely for show.

Start exercising. Now. Doesn’t matter how old you are. Find the time. Doesn’t have to be a full blown gym habit, just consistent, makes-you-sweat exercise. It will never be easier to get in the habit.

We’ve got them in Korea, too. So Asia is covered.

Air quality. I moved from eastern Canada to southeast Asia. It’s always hazy here by comparison. And you can see like half the stars. There has been a little improvement in recent years. Maybe China is getting its shit together.

I heard it was the height of some basketball player.

He’s not eating it exactly. Just trying to suck it through his mask. I suppose if he drooled enough on it and the mask is porous enough he might manage to slurp it down eventually. He is part spider.

Turns out technology is better at winning fights than muscle. We’re living in Revenge of the Nerds.

I bet their date was offal.

Oui

The One Year War.

Discord works absolutely fine in Linux. I use “Vesktop” which is a desktop client for Discord. Performance is identical to using the Discord app in Windows AFAIK.
