I'm writing a mod in C# and it's reporting a warning on line 3 of a file but the warning is blank for some reason so the "problems" overview just looks like this

You want to go there? We shouldn't have to keep bad guys from being able to get guns because there shouldn't be bad guys in the first place. But please, do share your plan for how to prevent ICE from getting their hands on guns?

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Arendt didn't so much as fail to recognize Eichmann's perform as she recognized that the performance extentend far pass what is shown on the stage. and yes, theories are not perfect; Newtonian physics isn't perfect either, but it still sent us to the moon.

Critics of Arendt argue Eichmann was filled with monstrous evil, ergo not a hollow bureaucrat. Nazi weren't normal monsters who dehumanized their victims. That hollowing out is what allowed Nazi leadership to still see their victims as human. A cannoli shell doesn’t stop being a shell when stuffed.

First on the block, a game from my recent research! The Golden Age of American Pornography had a lot happening, social upheaval, shifting sexual politics, a willingness to challenge assumptions... There's a management game to play in there! Let me know if the idea excites you!

"especially on larger and more corporatized projects code is designed to be so standardized and interchangeable in a way" So just like the Marval Cinematic Universe or Star Wars or any corporatized art?

my ultimate thing about "is code art" is that code is art but especially on larger and more corporatized projects code is designed to be so standardized and interchangeable in a way that's largely incompatible with the way we talk about art in the same way that a soap opera is

"nobody actually puts in any effort and just serves whatever dogshit the model shits out as is" That is the exact reason I stopped vibecoding. If I can't put in the effort to write it myself, then I'm not going to be able to put in the effort to make sure it works let only to scoop up after it.

i think one of the worst parts of this ai vibe coding trend is all these projects looking EXACTLY THE SAME because nobody actually puts in any effort and just serves whatever dogshit the model shits out as is im even seeing youtubers i used to watch joining in, it's so tiring

Equity is tailoring the opportunities so the same outcomes are actually reachable, and acknowledging the reason why when they are not. Equity isn't about being a saint; it is about a system admitting it is not perfect, without giving up on trying to be.

Equity is not the same outcomes, nor is it the same opportunities. Neither is it the same outcomes for the same work—because that fails to acknowledge that our starting positions are different.

If you are constantly at the limits of how much frustration you can handle, you are said to have 'low frustration tolerance.' That means that 'frustration tolerance' is not "one's ability to handle frustration," as it is often claimed, but rather what percentage of that ability is remaining.

This is the moment I recognized myself in the mirror: Nurse: He's autistic. Jeffries: Autistic? Nurse: Uh-huh. Jeffries: What does that mean? Nothing gets through? Nurse: No, it's just the opposite. Everything gets through. -- Mercury Rising(1998)

When someone talks about the scientific consensus, remind than that the scientific consensus is that "Even thou diet food keeping your hungry that is not why people who eat diet food eat more; they eat more because they are rewarding themselves for eating diet food."

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
