The academic consensus is that a guy probably existed who was a preacher whose teachings gave rise to the legend of this miraculous “Jesus”.

Everything that’s assumed to be real about Jesus is completely mundane. A preacher whose followers spread his teachings and fantastically embellished his achievements. Big deal! There are hundreds of guys like that. He’s L. Ron Hubbard without the trillion-year-old spaceships.

Iosevka for life, baby.

Shark Exorcist.

If you’ve seen the Best of the Worst episode, you know why. If not, you should!! It’s one of the best BotW segments.

This is… really not true at all.

LLMs differ from humans in a very very important way when it comes to language: we know the meanings of the words we use. LLMs do not “know” things, are unconcerned with “meanings”, and thus cannot be said to be “using” words in any meaningful way.

Having thoughts isn’t an issue. The issue is engaging with the thought.

You’re sitting there meditating. Then your head goes “hey, I gotta pay my insurance bill”

And then you go, “oh yeah, the insurance bill. For my car. Do I need to change the oil yet? Oh no, I have another like 800 miles to go. What’s 800 miles from here? Cleveland? Man, that LeBron really has some longevity”

Or instead, you could go “I’m meditating”. No judgment though, just point it out. Just note that a thought occurred and redirect your attention to the fact that you’re meditating and to your breath or whatever else. Another thought will come up shortly thereafter. You can just redirect again.

“What if Chromium had its own fake money?”

Then you don’t belong in a discussion forum.

If you’re gonna post something wrong and stupid, and then when someone goes through the trouble of correcting you your reaction is “oh fuck you, I don’t care”, then write your opinions in a journal and bury it in your backyard.

How absolutely moronic. Hey, malaria has been around since Ancient times. How long are you going to let yourself be scared of that? Go to the nearest swamp and see if you can attract some mosquitoes, bro.

This isn’t Twitter. With all respect, you need to bee-have better.

That makes sense! Austerity is such a roaring success everywhere else. There’s no reason it won’t work for Argentina.

Keep starving public services of funding and fucking over the poor in order to funnel more money into the pockets of the ultra-rich. That will definitely help the country develop.

…so sick of all this right-wing bullshit. Fucking assholes.

I started playing Factorio about a month ago and I’m completely addicted. I love it so much. I guess there’s not much more I can say about it, given how everybody but me had already heard of and played this game. But it’s definitely my #1 gaming highlight of the year.

The United States, to the best of my knowledge, does not yet have an election for King. The president is not the sovereign and neither is any former president.

So… if there is enough evidence to convict a former president of a crime that carries a prison sentence, then off to prison they go. They’re just another private citizen and deserve no special treatment (even though we know they will receive it).
