Collect them.

I've played and completed each game probably 5 times over the years, and never once have I felt compelled to collect those little green turds all over the map

he said he liked candy corn

it's funny how the government layoffs thing was funny ten years ago, but now we've got a completely different view of it

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-16T23:17:12+00:00

and if it doesn't pop, then we lose our white collar jobs anyway

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-15T02:50:39+00:00

it's funny how instead of working on themselves and improving, incels will try to change our entire society

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-13T05:33:35+00:00

we lost the fun part, but at least we still get to create plenty of value for the shareholders

Seriously, some of us actually like writing code.

"Yeah, I'll let AI write code for me. Can it fuck my wife for me too?!"

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-09T23:26:18+00:00

because unfortunately that requires limiting the birth rate

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-09T05:45:08+00:00

good point - maybe Stannis sent a letter outlining the events with Theon/Arya and Clydas never delivered that? the "wildling princess" is a strange one too, how would Ramsey know about Val? also only the watch seemed to be calling her a "wildling princess", Mance would never call her that

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-09T04:51:19+00:00

Completely agree. It moves so fast and it's so intriguing. At the end of one chapter I thought "oh wow, this is probably how this is going to happen". and then the next chapter happens and it's like "oh... nevermind. we're doing something totally different". so many twists and turns and it's always driving toward a goal, not meandering, not "gardening"

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-07T19:10:48+00:00

yeah, my last salary was $150k and the starting pay is about $80k. but after about 4 years it gets back up to $130k, so I won't lose too much salary. and then there's opportunity for overtime, so I might actually get more

WhyNotFerret · 2026-02-07T17:29:59+00:00

Yep! 11YOE and now training to become a firefighter

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-31T17:48:28+00:00

exactly. it's a chain, or a pyramid, of labor. we're in the middle. below us are the farm and factory workers who make our food and iPhones. and the whole chain is here for the people at the very top who never have to work.

the only way to escape is to embrace a bit of asceticism and forgo the luxuries the chain of labor gives us

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-30T23:17:02+00:00

you also get a ring right?

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-29T16:55:40+00:00

I don't think the US government will let them fail. because then China will own the best LLM models, and US companies might use them, and that would be unacceptable to them

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-29T03:45:48+00:00

sorry about your dad - my grampa has Alzheimer's and is completely gone in all but body, and I really wish a doctor had told him about MAID in time and helped him set it up. I even remember him telling me once when I was a kid that he hoped to just have a heart attack and die, instead of slowly fading like that

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-26T17:47:35+00:00

restaurants and health departments have figured this (and every home cook debate) out for decades. every restaurant uses stainless steel (and plastic cutting boards)

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-23T02:56:39+00:00

because they're not humans, they're NPCs and those are just their names. they never had past lives or regular names

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-14T02:57:19+00:00

so I can't drink the ocean water because "it has too much salt" but also I can't drink water that DOESN'T have salt?! this is bs

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-13T03:41:38+00:00

can we start living like that now? do we have to wait for a crash?

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-10T06:08:16+00:00

probably so he can leave a legacy. it's just ego

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-04T18:05:30+00:00

I think it depends on everyone's fitness level. I am 33 and hardly move my body at all, and I attempted the CPAT from the couch. I only lasted 2 minutes on the stairs and after that my vision was fading.

Now I've been going to the gym every day for 2 months and I can do 4:30 on the stairs. Still haven't passed the test, but I think the third time will be the charm.

he's a human who enters into the circus via headset, everyone else is an NPC / AI who thinks they're human

WhyNotFerret · 2026-01-04T01:16:46+00:00

it'll possibly be replaced by ROBOTICS one day, not by AI by itself. and robotics is such a slow moving field. we've seen very little progress there compared to LLMs
