Hyperion. One of the finest pieces of sci fi.

The game engine that Paradox uses in their games is named after him. For reasons

Be me. Make coffee. Forget you made it. Drink it cold later.

You disappoint me using a US pop culture reference. (Am I doing this right?)

They’ve already got a joint account. Basically married.

Simplest solution is often the most correct. However, according to the article, he was actually in jail at the time. So it’s possible they are the fence, but I suspect someone else actually stole it. Interesting nevertheless.

When I worked in the Arctic (mineral exploration), someone from the small community we were staging in broke into our helicopter and stole the emergency kit one night. Without it we were grounded. We put out a “reward for return, no questions asked” and got it back a few hours later by someone who “found it on the side of the road”. We didn’t pursue legal action, because doing so would mean the next time something like this happened in the community, we couldn’t offer a reward and expect it to work. Conversely, we probably encouraged them to do it again. Game theory is weird.

Downvote for AI slop.

Yeah, found that funny. Like did they hire a private firm to take a lie detector tests to create evidence or something?

This product has been tested on animals. They like sunlight, we’ve discovered.

I ask this, or for their stealth modifiers, and then roll behind the screen just to fuck with them sometimes. But it’s actually quite useful. I do this once in a while and it trains them not to overreact (and assume ambush) when I ask them for realzies.

No Man’s Sky is on sale. Don’t buy it. It is a trap. The game is too zen and you’ll spend 300 hours in it before you come up for air. That would be terrible for your holiday schedule!

Shit, if everyone sees this, they’re all going to start fucking swearing all the time, and the bastards won’t be inhibited anymore. That means the rest of us cunts will have to find another way to express ourselves as assholes in public to achieve the same performance gains. Damnit!

LinkedIn is like a tenth as bad as others. At least it is (still, somewhat) marginally useful.

Well the ads percentage in the feed keeps going up. And more AI generated crap. But show me a social network (that isn’t Lemmy) where that isn’t true.

Must. Rub. Tummy.
