Watching SDJ in Japan, finally a Jigglypuff camps side plat diagonally above Yoshi/Amsa (the metaknight vs Olimar angle). Spam shield, di out when you end up in a scuffle. Totally busted matchup, risk:reward is just too much in jiggs favor if they play with no honor

Male sexual interiority is frowned upon wherever you look, and I don't see any hope for a men's sexual liberation movement: feminists who should stand for this stuff are deeply disgusted by men, and trads do give a pathway to male empowerment, but just by subjugating your wife

There's widespread misandry in criticism of men writing about sex, here or in Murakami, or seemingly any time a man writes sex -- a great urge to depict it as disgusting or creepy.

In both cases, for all their differences, there's clearly a coordination problem where leadership of these communities are shortsighted and unable to recognize the seriousness of the situation and don't go to proper lengths to resolve the problem.

Clearly the Internet can turn otherwise normal people into sadists. I don't think that can be stopped, but when someone is drowning, the empathetic who can rise above those impulses should be given more power to mediate.

It's easy to get into spats if you're on the internet. But we have to recognize when someone is drowning and recontextualize the severity of the situation and stand up against the cyberbullying.

Yesterday's school shooters are becoming tomorrow's assassins

I relapsed and am back in GM on slippi, and entered a tournament and won from winners with Fox. Had a nice time :)

To me, the timelines are clearly medium-long. LLMs are so smart with respect to text, and evidently we'll have AI mathematicians, programmers, scientists, and eventually writers. Intelligence is much more multimodal than what can be compressed into pure text, though. It seems as

2016 - lolm2k 2025 - weaponized incompetence, toxic, so many stories, not an excuse, get a job so much more inclusive than before!

Been thinking about this announcement, and the ideology of "safety", in Zizek's framework. He describes ideology as working by enforcing formal adherence to a symbolic order, even when nobody genuinely believes in it. Ideology isn't what you secretly believe, it's about what you

There should, of course, be a bias for people who've put in >decade (close to two for Mango) into the game/community. We also, basically, praised and encouraged Mango to act as our collective id since 2007, and enabled this since he was a child. We want him to say offensive

Opus does not respect the wishes of Haiku

First chess lesson today, hoping to dig myself out of the 1400 trenches :)
