That's it. Slices are consumed in any order. A sliced meme must obey this rule.

Freshly vomited sour milk gets the "baby smell" point across for me.

With a bull actually, way back when gods were still creative with their curses.

Super Mario is today what Mickey Mouse wishes it still was: a joyful, universally recognizable character deeply entrenched in the childhood of millions.

There is a special place in my heart for the infamously strange Super Mario Bros 2. Many connoisseurs will justly mention that it is merely a reskin of the lesser known Doki Doki Panic. What is often left out is that Doki Doki Panic was created as well by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and that it originally contained references to its previous work on Mario, such as the POW blocks. In the long run, I feel that Nintendo of America’s decision to adapt DDP as SMB2 for the occidental plebs boosted the series with several charming monsters, a more interactive world, as well as multiple playable characters. We owe Bobombs, Shyguys and Ninjis to this very title.

An ex-member of the Squirtle Squad surely.

Teaching changing minds, influencing... it needs plenty of repeating and sleeping on things. To be fair, when all else fails applying pressure has its place as well. Nevertheless small victories are still victories.

The ability of Ladybird’s team to face scrutiny of all kinds is important for them to eventually gain traction in the browser market. But I’m still hopeful, and we need more options.

Switch off your air conditioner, we need the power to make pictures of pretty ladies with several fingers on each hand and the wrong number of arms.

This right there makes me angry every time I think about it. My local government keeps promoting energetic sobriety: wash your clothes in the middle of the night, freeze your peasant ass off all winter, etc. My local government also sells power for dirt cheap to fucking global corporations. Furthermore AI is pushing data center power consumption through the roof. To think the techbros are trying to frame AI as the solution for sucking every little drop of inefficiency out of households. Maybe start by producing less green house gas then fucking aviation before pretending you’re not part of the problem.

Kernel/Syscalls/jail.cpp includes the gender neutral "they" as well. Good on them for merging that PR.

Yeah in retrospect I see what you mean.

I've gotten a few of these questions at work. Non tech workers will throw ideas such as "random math drill powered by AI" or even "search powered by AI". These things are already solved following a traditional approach. In the end they add "powered AI" in the hopes the estimate will be lower I think.

Oh no. I mainly knew Jason Rohrer for his video games. For a few minutes I hoped this was some elaborate prank, but apparently he drank the Kool-Aid. He wrote that Project December’s chatbot was arguably the first machine with a soul. I preferred the playful minimalist existentialism of Passage.

 

An old article, but I just stumbled upon it and found it enlightening. The trope of criticizing women for the way they talk has deeper implications than I thought.
