As an Australian, I think we are about to get the best goddamn wave of young cybersecurity experts ;)

The big ticket pressies are always from us, with much smaller, almost tokenistic presents from Santa. This is working so far.

So...yeah, Santa will. But he won't be bringing them that Spider-Man toy, right?

And from our windows are trees and waving neighbours, not blocks of buildings.

It isn't perfect. Nothing is. But I'll just keep spinning Ms Moni and Iron Maiden and narrating each bridge if it means my kids can grow up with some grass and room. Not everyone gets to make that call. I'm lucky I can.

And now? My wife, who has a much shorter commute now, is home, relaxed and ready for us all to be together, not still recovering from a mad drive.

And now we are paying our mortgage, not someone else's. and I can hear the neighbourhood kids playing, not some pisshead screaming about his ex-wife. 3/

The morning is spent having breakfast now, not rushing to get to daycare in time for their breakfast and beating the gridlock traffic. The trip home is a long decompress where we sing, listen to stories, and talk about everything we see. 2/

Bookmarking to buy and play when I can. Gonna go in blind just based on your post and see what's up.

And maybe like...at least CONSIDER First Nations actors for Bishop?

Yeah but then I remember Dead Static Overdrive exists.

But like...who is this for?! Why does this exist? Are there people who want to watch this movie that are upset by swearing? I don't understand.

Did you know in America there are versions of movies where they change the "bad words" before playing them on TV? Like, movies for adults. They cut out the swearing.

As a Kojima Tragic, it is telling seeing the change from MGS4 when he stopped working with Tomokazu Fukushima and took more control.

Fukushima also wrote the spin off games (Ghost Babel, Ac!d and Ac!d 2), as well as Snake Tales. If you haven't played them I'd recommend it - especially Ac!d 2.

This is very true in higher ed. Many parts of Unis are pushing AI with the argument that students "want to use it".

And...yes, some do. But most really, really don't. And are devastated at the idea staff would use it.

It was great! Chucked in some spices and my daughter yummed it up. Going into the weekly rotation. Thank you!

Gonna try this tomorrow. Thank you!

This sounds like a good hack. Do you just set it up as if you were just cooking rice normally? And the veg steams/boils inside?

Chickpea burrito bowls!

We were a community! A real internet!

Dude. My thesis was about "AI Literature" but that was like...digital Oulipo and shit. Weird little folks making weird little algorithms that make weird little poems. Kathy Acker shit. The GPT explosion was...painful.

That's not Mario, that's a reskinned Giuseppe, the third brother. Bloody bootlegs smh.
