If you're a fiction author writing quoted speech, I beg of you, please don't attempt to write "funny" local accents phonetically, be they Scottish, Irish, Bahamian, Chinese, or whatever.
No matter how amusing it seems to you, no good will come of it. Especially don't do it with perceived vowels.

But taking it seriously seems just... bizarre. I get wanting to avoid Christmas music in general, but wanting to avoid one specific perfectly inoffensive song and getting angry if you can't? Makes no sense.

I succeeded at Whamageddon for about thirteen years straight, accidentally (don't interact with broadcast media much, don't go into town much around Xmas, spent every Xmas from 2006-19 on a farm in Minnesota with my Boomer then-in-laws who didn't know about modern music like Wham)

So I like how eccentric the breath weapons for the new dragons in #pathfinder2e become the further away from DND they get.
"This is a red dragon it breathes fire."
"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"

"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"
![Breath of Loss [two-actions] (arcane, mental) The dragon breathes a
warm, gentle breeze of mist that creates the feeling of when
deepest desires are achieved. As the breeze dissipates,
the feeling of loss overwhelms creatures’ senses, dealing
11d6 mental damage in a 30-foot cone (DC 29 Will save).
A creature that critically fails its save is also consumed
with the memory of the moment and is stunned 1. The wish
dragon can’t use Breath of Loss again for 1d4 rounds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6sxwjtkgrclgyaiail7x44e3/bafkreihrqbnxqqaboruz36d6ri26qyxjmiq65gfynnj5z4j5d7yqwap3na@jpeg)

I'm always confused when writers change the plot because a reader figured out what was coming. Surely that's good? Surely that means the breadcrumbs have been laid out appropriately?

Speaking from experience (I work in procurement), someone needed a Specific Thingy. They asked ChatGPT, which spat out the wrong part number. I had to spend 30 minutes convincing them it WAS the wrong part number and 5 minutes calling the human vendor who knew exactly what we needed.
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

And this is why we fight. This shit won't last long at this rate. If they keep racking up half-TRILLION dollar loss projections, even the most bullish, fascist-ass weirdo billionaire is going to have to stop to keep from losing his shirt.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

while we are at it: regular reminder that in scotland, legally, both under older legislation and uncrc, parents do not have *rights* they have *responsibilities*. it's children who have rights.
"parents' rights" are as made up as "sex based rights" and for the same reasons

That MSPs are now openly saying stuff like this is chilling. "Controversial groups like LGBT Youth Scotland"? LGBTYS didn't need to be in my schools for me to be gay, but they sure as hell would have helped me avoid 9 years of fear and self-loathing if they had been. Despicable stuff.

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.
Nah, bullshit tbh. You don't deal with the presence of transphobes by debating them. That the guy arguing no felt comfortable doing so and wasn't immediately heckled into silence speaks to a fundamental fucking rot.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
