my friend did these for me yesterday

I always wondered if something like this could be possible in the future of terminals. glad to see kitty pushing the envelope! Looking forward to see this used for stuff like markdown rendering. Hoping this gets picked up by other terminals and neovim like the undercurl did.

it’s fat + fat + fat. definitely not something I could eat regularly but after a night out in cap hill it’s fire

Japan also has these at every convenience store:

they’re not good but they do the job

Seattle is probably my favorite. Good hack for New York is to ask them to put the hot sauce they usually use for kebabs/gyro on it

Soon for me “human being” will be high enough of a bar to be nontrivial to enforce

I loved programming since I was 14. This was an acceptable passion to spend time on because it would allow me to be successful (read: make money).

My sister always loved visual art, and is now in art school. This is an unacceptable passion, and when she tells people that she’s in art school the first response is almost always “oh so what are you planning to do with that degree?”

We have been conditioned into a very narrow definition of success. It’s not surprising then that we start seeing art as “the next big problem to solve”, and you have all these tech bros frothing at the mouth to be the first to “solve” it and become the next startup billionaire.

Low-effort art and music has always been around. You don’t see anyone bumping those inoffensive cover albums and lounge remixes that you hear at the mall or the driving range in their cars though. Anyone who doesn’t already love listening to music isn’t in that position because of a lack of options in the (sigh) market. So I promise you won’t see “billions of new customers” dying to consume derivative slop music.

one thing I hate about AI images is that if you have multiple of the same subject in the image, they often all look exactly the same. the backs and faces of those leopards are eerie in their uniformity

I would actually argue that in many ways it’s increasing, at least in Pakistan where I have family, although these aren’t the only countries with growing fascism and regressive social politics (see lots of Europe and of course the US).

But your comment was about stories of cultural importance, not race or gender or class; I can’t help but feel offended that you would choose to shit on my culture for some reason instead of identifying relevant stories like you did for the other cultures you mentioned in your comment. I agree that those -isms should be criticized, but India definitely caught a stray from your comment.

fucking crazy to denigrate South Asia like that when you made the effort to respect culture for all the other regions you mentioned. I guess all the other countries you mentioned don’t have a history of racism, classism, nepotism, sexism or religion?

that generally doesn’t happen in the real world though, most of the time the mean and median are close-ish at least

meh there’s similar popular stuff https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mary_(cocktail)

source on the 28 notch stick?

ahoy

I have this as a sticker on my water bottle

this one is really well written

“Today, a historic wrong has been righted, and the catacomb of the tempestuous Batibat will again be unsealed,” wrote Alito, laying out a scathing repudiation of Pell v. Bangungot, the highly publicized case that originally entombed the grotesque monster’s sulfurous form in a specially made osmium vault. “Contemporaneous accounts provide no evidence the Founding Fathers envisioned a role for the federal government in vanquishing this unholy entity from the face of the earth.”

I’m so cooked I genuinely thought that’s what it was at first, until I noticed all the words were slang/recent colloquialisms

Seems cool, but it’s currently missing some pretty important languages (Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Swahili, etc). I’d put up with something limited like this if it was FOSS and/or selfhostable but it appears not to be

Elaborate on some examples of the YIMBYs?

Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!
