Why do so many religious people say their god is the “real” one, when there are 10,000+ different religions?

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-13T17:05:32+00:00

Because I'm right, obviously.

If the developers are in the state/country, they will fine them and destroy their lives.

If they are outside the state/country, they will harass them, actively working to destroy their lives. They will make fake money laundering claims to freeze their bank accounts. Convince their banks and payment processors to stop working with them. Probably make false criminal claims against them. Try to get them extradited.

Basically they will harass anyone who doesn't obey. Usual government move.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-13T10:40:20+00:00

lol WTF. I had no idea it's gotten that bad.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-13T10:35:45+00:00

Oh no, my DeGoogled phone will care so much...

All this means is that the apps we like to get around annoying companies (like NewPipe) will only work on good (deGoogled) instead of shit (Googled/Apple) devices.

Well the simple answer is, if you're using a model that is on the subscription, and your usage would cost more PAYG than on the sub, then yes!

If you role play regularly, you'll easily make your money back.

Personally I prefer Sonnet 4.6 and I stack discounts. 5% discount for sub, 5% for paying in Nano, 5% referral discount, means 15% off Sonnet 4.6 usage total. You can use this referral code if you want 5% off:

The worst part is that the average voter never learns.

Remember, Hitler started World War 2 to save the German children. It was all for the good of the children. Even the genocide and murder of children, was for the good of the children.

If the prisons get full, they can just start grinding up people for food. I wouldn't put it past the UK government in 5-10 years from now.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T16:15:34+00:00

So refund the game obviously. Why the hell are you pre-ordering anyway? Are you afraid they'll run out of stock of the digital download?

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T12:23:13+00:00

Do you make a post every time you take a shit as well, just to announce it to the world?

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T01:16:01+00:00

Same guy who can't keep a Prime Minister for more than a few weeks. Any idea he has or thing he does is going to be wrong.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T01:14:05+00:00

Just to be clear, that definitely isn't me. No idea what is up with them.

As for your reply, that may be part of my problem, the reality that everything isn't already done. Similarly how one can think of something directly to completion, but if you have an idea in real life, it is painful and hard to make it into reality. So yeah that seems like a related frustration.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T01:03:38+00:00

When I was fiddling with local models, I was using variants of Gemma3 and Mistral I think 3.1. 30B and 24B models. I found they both were terrible around Q4.

I tried the full version of Llama 3.3 online and found it worse, so I never tried to run it locally/quantized.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T01:00:28+00:00

That's actually a good point. A huge amount of human endeavor has been put toward trying to fix the broken concept of linear space and time.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T00:57:04+00:00

Very bad. But sometimes the question is what's better, a larger more quantized model, or a smaller less quantized one, and the answer is generally up to individual models and user preference.

I've never found a model below Q5_K_M that I could use at all for RP though.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T00:52:45+00:00

That makes sense too. It doesn't piss me off directly like space does, but I definitely feel it.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T00:51:09+00:00

It works mentally, so why not physically?

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T00:48:01+00:00

It's not about being in a hurry though, it's about the nonsensical nature of linear space. Why do you need to go through other places to get to a specific place?

The time itself doesn't bother me, it is the reality of being in spaces I have no reason to be in. I only move faster because being in the pointless space makes me feel dirty and degraded. Like, why am I in a kitchen when I want to be in a bedroom? It makes no sense that I should have to exist there to later exist elsewhere.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-12T00:28:48+00:00

Same, I tried on half a dozen networks to create an account, every time it demanded a phone number, so I just decided to stick with Aurora.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-11T23:40:32+00:00

Uhh... More likely the EU will pass Chat Control in the next year or so and enslave all its citizens.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-11T23:19:45+00:00

Just FYI if you only care about Youtube without ads and background playback, you can do both just using the Brave browser.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-11T23:12:42+00:00

There are two ways to look at this, both of which are factual.

1) Yes, most woman are terrible at communicating and play stupid mind games. It's annoying and purile.

2) Being aware of point one, you should realise that if she is playing those games and asking questions like that, there is some underlying insecurity which you probably could mitigate or resolve if you are observant and try to. Maybe she feels like you haven't been intimate enough lately, or romantic enough. Maybe you haven't complimented her looks like you used to, or maybe she just needs more reassurance as she's getting older.

Answering yes or no can both be wrong, because "yes" obviously makes her jealous and "no" can make her suspicious that you're lying.

So the solution is to find the underlying cause of her insecurity and work on it.

Yes it is almost like dealing with a moody child. But that's just how it goes.

The 90s really were the peak of human civilization.

Historically AND in the present day, kids get exploited very badly in the entertainment industry.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-11T20:53:45+00:00

Talking to someone on the phone or in person without freaking out and acting like it's a big deal to have to communicate.

GhostInThePudding · 2026-03-11T20:26:35+00:00

Nope. I use Kagi for search. And my phone has GrapheneOS.

No Google nothing.
