  1. Wasn't really explained. My mom had a desktop computer in the 2000s though, and was happy enough to let me mess around on it. I think most of my learning was from videogame tutorials.

  2. I am absolutely aware, growing up with access to the entire collective human experience is batshit insane. I'm glad that I mostly abstained from the social media craze, but just the sheer amount of noise the Internet generates can be overwhelming.

  3. My mother was incredibly distant, and my father wasn't around, so I had very, very few limiters on my internet access. I feel pretty strongly that this was a mistake, as being raised by the internet in the manner I was led to me really struggling to connect with people and empathize with them, vs just trying to exploit and scam strangers.

As for just general anecdotes...trying to even comprehend the world before the internet is really hard for me. It might as well be the Dark Ages, compared to what came after. Where I work was still using typewriters through the 90s, and only recently started using email in the 2010s, and it boggles my mind that people were able to do my job without a computer at all. It just seems like things would have been significantly more difficult.

Titanfall 2. Easily one of the best shooter campaigns released, with some really incredible levels. I still come back to "Effect and Cause" occasionally.

I feel like as long as your country has one of our military bases in it, and the chances are unfortunately pretty high that you do, you've got about as much right to criticize the U.S. as anyone else. The U.S. falling to fascism would have global repercussions, so don't let anyone ever tell you that you don't have skin in the game too.

This is one of those great moments where everyone involved is shitty. What Aiden did was shitty, the abusive religious school that was attacked is shitty, what the Star is doing by releasing these manuscripts is shitty, and just the general state of Tennessee is pretty shitty.

The whole thing is just miserable and awful.

why the hate towards a tool that nobody forces you to use?

Right here is the problem, because many companies like Adobe and Microsoft have made obtrusive AI that I would really like to not interact with, but don't have a choice at my job. I'd really like to not have to deal with AI chatbots when I need support, or find AI written articles when I'm looking for a how-to guide, but companies do not offer that as an option.

I think the record still goes to Amazon's Crucible, which was cancelled before release after a closed-beta that nobody played.

I need more context as to what this is for. Is this what we're teaching children?

Was it stubborness or necessity? There's this myth of early humans being foolhardy or even stupid and just stuffing whatever they can find in their gob, but starvation was a real killer.

No, it implies his cult are as smart as a chimp, and about as docile.

There's some old gigs that I leave off just because the reputations of some of the companies I worked for is poor, they're seriously trying to attack her over leaving McDonald's off? Is the Rebuplican strategy to just appeal to boomers by being as out of touch as possible?

Oh no I'm young, I'm just self aware enough to realize that the things I say are pretty weird. Zoomer culture is insane and beautiful and horrible.
