@veronicaschwzr The way she ties her self-worth to her parental performance seems to limit accountability, real responsiveness to my needs, real consideration of my perspective. So, I think I get what you're saying here.

@veronicaschwzr My mom seems to think of raising me as her life purpose and greatest accomplishment. That *sounds* nice, until you see how defensive it makes her about any suggestion she could've done some things better as a parent.

Eyeball #2 is done enough to be functional and has much better motion tracking!! writerofminds.blogspot.com/2026/05/atrona… #robotics

Haha (the circle is a motion detection target).

@veronicaschwzr A fledgling would be mostly feathered, right? This baby is still all fuzz. If a baby has fallen, it is okay to put them back in their nest/cavity. If the parents don't show up, he needs to reach out to a wildlife rehabber.

quail date :)

@shekkizh @tdietterich @arxiv This rule is clearly about the quality of the content, not restricting or flagging AI per se. So it makes sense for the ban to be based on obvious signs of poor quality.

@tdietterich @arxiv This is useful in the short term, but I doubt the checks/criteria will be relevant in a year as AI improves. If that's the case, how does a 1-year ban make sense?Why not just add an "ai-generated" tag and leave it at that?

@ZbynekDrab @justalexoki Lineages, like all collectives, only have value insofar as they contribute to the flourishing of individuals. They are not sentient beings capable of experiencing joy or suffering. So they deserve nothing.

@justalexoki Zoom out from individual to lineage as the basic unit of analysis. The lineage deserved it.

this is an argument i will never get. "it's deserved" i didn't do shit to get born here. it's not deserved. it's luck. and most people are unlucky as hell

Ground control to Major Tom… Here’s the first full print of the NASA chess set. There are a few tweaks that must be made (mostly sizing and tolerances with the board) but overall I’m pretty pleased with it. #hotmakes @HotMakesLive @NASA

@DavidAOliverJr @asymmetricinfo I don't think a majority of people failed to recognize COVID's low fatality risk among the young and healthy. We just cared more about the elderly and chronically ill than you appear to do.

@asymmetricinfo While I thought the response to SARS-CoV-2 was mistaken due to a failure to recognize the de minimis risk it posed to the young and healthy, hantavirus, if spread as readily, would warrant the strictest measures as it kills the young as easily as the old and at a far higher rate.

People who want to blow off Hantavirus because COVID turned out to be no big deal: COVID had a fatality rate of 1%, concentrated among the elderly. Hantavirus has an incubation period of up to 8 weeks and kills 30-40% of people who show symptoms. Whole different beast. It’s not pandemic yet and probably won’t be, but if it were, the rational action would be—lockdown

@mudscryer @_space_punk_ You were saying that if he had been one of your kids, and you'd had access to him when he was an embryo and knew he had a genetic disorder, you would have killed him (or kept him in stasis in a freezer forever and never let him have a life). He had a right to be offended.

@_space_punk_ yeah when i was talking about how i would definitely use embryo screening and selection for my kids if i ever had any this woke i was talking to was like "i'd rather be born with narcolepsy than not exist" and i'm like ummm i'm not threatening to kill you dude

Don’t understand why people are so attached to their worldview. Feels SO good to update my map of reality such that it better reflects the territory

@mudscryer @_space_punk_ Your judgment doesn't trump that of your children and give you the right to kill the ones you think are "inferior", regardless of their age. You're the one being the fascist here - this guy was trying to defend your helpless embryos.

@_space_punk_ it makes sense that it's fear of death, i was thinking it was him feeling i was threatening him. he was all like "i would take away your choice to do that" & i was like oh, so your judgement trumps mine & you get to make that decision for me? leftists are fascists & don't realize

@Porkchopnator @GreenTextRepost The greentext isn't asking "why do people consider this character evil" - that's obvious. It's asking "what motivates this character to be evil." Holden has no particular reason for his crimes, he just seems to live to hurt as many people as possible.

@GreenTextRepost Maybe don't use the rapist pedophile cannibal as example, retard

@LizzieMarbach @PoliticsLeeches I find a man who plays video games FAR more attractive than a man who kills animals.

@PoliticsLeeches Not true. Fishing, hunting, building in the shed, playing sports, even just smoking cigars or drinking a beer outside—all 1000x more preferable over video games for most women.

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And it's done! I'm crazy impressed with the quality and reliability of the @snapmaker U1 so far. Over 3000 changes without a single issue. This is just the beginning, so much has been unlocked by owning this printer...

@HS32941646 Thank you!!

@WriterOfMinds That's amazing! Congrats!
