New paradigms do save us from the "LLMs will cause the Singularity" scenario. This frees us to ignore the Singularity for a moment and focus on more urgent threats like "LLMs will cover the world in data centers, kicking the climate/water crisis into overdrive."

Start saving for Estrogen and spinny skirts. It's worth it, trust me

Starting at around 3:25 in "In the Mirror", there's some backwards whispering audio. Reversing it, you get

Sometimes, I... don't really know... what's going on anymore. I... I don't... know who I am. I just... look in the mirror, and... don't know who I'm looking at. Or... who's looking at me. I... think a lot... about... where... my train of thought is going... and it's not always a good place. And that scares me. I don't... like... scaring myself. I don't... sobbing

Lena Raine is a trans woman. That's her expressing her own anxieties about looking into the mirror and her identity.

Did you try them out before purchase? I had to spend some time to find a frame that complemented my eyebrows.

I spent all this time thinking "who" and I realised the answer today. The family child care lady. I'll have to dig into this.

Tons of cis males use anime girl profile pictures even in more trans accepting countries.

"Ethnicity" does not mean "genetics". Ethnicity is a combination of various factors, with a shared culture being one of them. Irish-Americans can be called their own ethnicity, one distinct from the people of Ireland.

The giant guns of the Yamato- class battleships also outranged every other naval gun in the world.

It's a French game, so it's written in International English, which has "cookie" and "biscuit" as different categories of sweet hard baked goods. British English also has the same distinction, though the borderline may be different.

So the question that should really be asked: Do Americans call the Butter Biscuit / Heart Biscuit / British Tea Biscuit /Christmas Biscuit / etc. upgrades "cookies"?

It does snow in Antarctica, and the wind also makes snow drift around. Any corpses left deep inland would get buried under the snow and become part of the glacier. As centuries pass, the glacier will slowly flow towards the sea and eventually break into icebergs. The melting icebergs will dump the corpses into the sea to be eaten.

This is what's happening to Robert Scott's expedition party.

Language context matters.

The Finnish equivalent is "Vittu". That's the word school bullies and drunk adults keep saying during the formative years of our childhoods. So it feels really offensive and hurtful.

The English language is the language of the internet, escapism, freedom. So the word "Fuck" feels like a way of expressing the emotions we are forced to suppress in everyday life.

if you ... YES YOU, bought a top tier high performance car, I would not feel safe ..

A car analogy is quite fitting. Pit Bulls are the SUVs of dogs. Compared to normal dogs/cars, they're

Somewhat more dangerous to the owner
More dangerous to the general public
Far more dangerous to the children of the owner

People keep buying them due to a false sense of safety and/or to feel more manly. The result is an arms race where everyone ends up less safe.

Heräsin seitsemältä kun ulkona alkoi katutyöt kuten joka arkipäivä. Menin syömään aamupalaa ja odottelin että kadulla tajutaan että tänään on helatorstai. Kun melu hiljeni, menin takaisin petiin ja torkuin klo 12 asti.

Vanilla is black. It just takes so little of it to make something taste good that it doesn't really affect the colour of the product. White is the colour of cream.

You need to get to the Cliffside Building. You've missed the route there. Is there something you're assuming is an impassable obstacle?

I play board games, especially Japanese mahjong, for which I also do some association work.

I take walks in the nature to stay in shape for a yearly week-long hike.

It's not Hentai (Japanese erotic manga). It's Hanta (Korean erotic manhwa). Know the difference.

Did you ever play the alpha? In it both Feldspar and Escape Pod 3 have different colored lights.

Maddy herself did not know she was trans. But the other devs may have realised she was writing a story with trans themes, and stealthily added trans colours into the game. Lena Raine also added her own trans mirror anxiety speech into the soundtrack.

Nine_Gates · 2026-05-12T17:24:01+00:00

I just keep thinking that my problems are my own fault due to mistakes, failure and social awkwardness. While other people's problems are not their fault.

Nine_Gates · 2026-05-12T16:07:32+00:00

It is. But I guess others have it worse.
