14·2 years agoI can’t find the exact quote because google has decayed into hot garbage juice, but there’s a line in Gideon the Ninth where Harrow asks Gideon how she thinks necromancy works exactly, and Gideon says something like, “I don’t know, maybe you think about bones really hard until something happens?”
That’s how LW people think actual intelligence works.

5·2 years agoA) True, though I got an older model on sale. That said, it is a tradeoff. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
B) I’m an adhd caveman who came from a LightPhone II. It helps to have an appetite for mild annoyance when stepping outside the regular tech ecosystems.
Edit: Apologies for sounding defensive, wanted to share my personal experience and ended up simping for software. @rook is 100% right that options are slim and fiddly!

5·2 years agoI can kind of understand how the out-in-the-open fascist monsters are created. Hell, they all seem to be made in the same factory.
What I can’t get my headmeat around is what makes men like Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Keir Starmer tick. What the fuck drives these hollow lukewarm maniacs to spend an entire career struggling to get to the top of the system, only to promptly wither in the heat of a real crisis?
