welcome to the hyperreality simulation folks
Look I'm just saying, 3DFX would have never laid the groundwork for the scammy fake news GenAI slop hell we now find ourselves in, whereas that creating that situation seems, in retrospect, to have been Jensen's main perogative for at least a couple decades

something for the retro hardware enjoyers! got my ATI Radeon X1900XT running under Windows XP on the Z690 + 14900K 3D bench rig somehow and recorded a lil preem footage of one of the best GPUs of 2006 running the hottest benchmark of that year, and I micc'd her up for ~spicey fan noises~

thinking abt the irony that of the electric vehicle makers named after Nikola Tesla, one went full megalomaniac industrialist mode and the other was a blatant and uninspired scam- while the one named after Thomas Edison is just some chill dudes who built a cool truck and wanna build more cool trucks

me, trying to explain diff btwn Furries and <animal>girls: so fursuiting is like doing drag and being a cat/puppy/horse-girl is like being trans coworker: ............ me, remembering "horse girl" usually means "a girl who rides horses" and realizing I may have grossly misunderstood the conversation
cannot emphasize enough how every early Astronaut was a drunk-ass hotshot test pilot swearing and being inappropriate at all times. The modern Astronaut archetype of "a nerdy Starfleet science officer" was predated by "a drunk guy who is REALLY good at flying VERY fast planes in a dangerous manner"
“But you can bounce lasers off of mirrors the Apollo astronauts put on the moon yourself!” I mean; ok, pretty good, but have you tried, “Yeah, the government /did/ lie about the moon landings…for example, every time an Apollo astronaut said ‘sunofabitch’ the official transcripts read ‘garbled’.”

I'm with this! "not assuming" becomes "everybody is they/them" which doesn't seem helpful It feels weirdly invalidating when used in a targeted way (surprise! you actually did assume!), and when used for EVERYONE kinda seems like non-binary erasure; removing meaning from pronouns thru genericization
reasonable genericization: <referring to unknown person who is not present as they/them> (very normal, not even woke) tryhard: <defaulting to they/them until conclusively told otherwise> (it's not 2018, stop) problematic: <defaulting to they/them for ppl with known binary pronouns> (many such cases)
