(he/him) I like coffee. Programmer/magician for Atooi and Transolar. I've seen shit that'll shock ya eyelids. I have no sense of humor and also I never lie. I am normal and can be trusted with strawberries
Down by the bay, —
where the melons grow, —
Back to my home I dare not go.
For,
If I do,
My mother will say, —
"Did you ever see a llama,
Wearing polka dot pajamas?"
I made something that pretty well approximates Pad Thai last night, all of the textures and most of the flavors were there. but it had some wild substitutions so I took zero photos because I have some Thai friends whom I would like to keep

I'm running for mayor because I want the key to the city. It's a key that can open any lock in the city. I will use it to go into houses to chew on the table legs. They can't arrest me because I am the mayor. Please vote for me and drop your address in the comments so I can chew your baseboards.
Me: I don't see any reason to use AI
Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing?
Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job
Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

I heard there was a secret chord
That Tommy played for the Dragonzord
But you don’t really care for morphin’ do you
It goes like this, the ranger 6th,

People have been complaining about the wave of slop on the first couple of days of Steam Next Fest, but you're only getting a glimpse of what's in my inboxes week in week out for the past couple of years now. It's worse than the whole "asset flip" thing by several magnitudes.
AI proponents cling to the idea that the tech is going to enable boundless creativity, but I've seen what it enables; endless spam. It's enabled people without a single ounce of creativity in their bodies to make endless Balatro clones, genuinely no thoughts of their except Balatro but slop.
BAKERS! It is Dessert Week!
Lava cakes aren't super tricky so long as you're okay with hovering by the oven window until you're like 90% sure they're set around the outsides. These are chocolate peanut butter, because the Italian grocery has "Military Chocolate" toothpaste tubes full of that flavor
I don't like doing this but I think I'd like to crowdsource what to do about this. Someone I knew from HS many years ago has resurfaced after years of quiet and he seems genuinely concerned about witchcraft. Not a bit, not Halloween prank, he's having real debate among the (mostly baffled) comments.
my immediate reaction is, naturally and obviously, to reply with "if even a single witch were real then any politicians who voted against women's rights would be long dead"
Werewolves are made when a werewolf bites a person, but what about if a werewolf bites another werewolf? Do they just never change back? IS THIS WHERE WOLVES COME FROM
