Fedegenerate

Is steak vegan? I think we’ve strayed away from the premise of the hypothetical.

Charlotte Sartre?

Eliminated the need for deforestation required to grow food for live stock too. Win, win win.

We play +2s, Reverse, and +4 wilds can be stacked. A +4 being played needs a colour declaration, and a +2/reverse of that colour can continue the stack.

Usually this means +4 will kill the pile and the unfortunate sod is picking up 6, or 8, or whatever… But sometimes, they magically have the correct Reverse, or +2 and escape with their life.

An alternative side rule we play is chains. I play a green 3, I can immediately play a green 4, then a red 4… Until I can no longer play matching number, or consecutive colour, or effect card.

Mostly because we used to play a card game we called Blackjack, that is basically Uno, but with chaining. Aces were wild, 2s were pick up 2, 8s were miss a go, Jacks of spades/clubs were pick up 7, Jacks of hearts/diamonds did something else.

Reliably correct is when you’re correct always.

Agreed, except I add “almost”. “My car reliably starts” it starts “almost always”: more than 2 in 10 times. “You reliably turn up on time” doesn’t mean you’re late 8 in 10 times, it means you almost always turn up on time. To “almost always”, or “reliably” a thing: it means you fail 1 in 100, in a 1000, in 10,000 times. 10k is hyperbole, but the idea is clear right? Almost always/reliably != failing 8 out of 10 times.

Your original point that these bots, that pass 2 in 10 times, reliably pass was wrong. Because: they dont “always pass”, they don’t “almost always” pass, they dont, even “pass in the majority of times”, they rarely pass.

Let’s add our reliable = always substitution to the quote:

Turing test can be [always] passed by a bot that repeats last part of the previous sentence with a question mark at the end […]

You see how that’s wrong not just in fact, but in spirit too?

If a person murders people only two days out of 10, they’re a murderer, in order to not be a murderer they need to never do that.

Relevance? Who says “Fegenerate is reliably a murder?”

Demonstrably incorrect is when you’re incorrect even sometimes.

Relevance? You didn’t use the word "demonstrably passed’. I’d have no problems is you did?

I have audiobooks on a 30min sleep timer, shake to reset timer, and a 30 min rewind when my sleep timer expires.

I either get sleep, or progress through the story. Win-win.

I make some nods to sleep hygiene: my phone goes black and white before bed. Some problem apps are soft locked. But I’m not great at the practice. Regardless, my sleep problems are chronic pain related, so sometimes I just have to rest and wait/hope for exhaustion to take me.

Turing test can be reliably passed by a bot that repeats last part of the previous sentence with a question mark at the end […]

If an LLM is correct 2 in 10 times, would you call it “reliably correct”?

I think that’s an acceptable price of being on the open and free internet.

Everything I do is in the open, and you are free to do as you wish with it. Likewise, everything you do is in the open and you accept, by being here, that I am free to do what I wish with it.

Hey Porter - Johnny Cash

Like the 309 - Johnny cash

One of his first, and one of his last songs are about trains.

I’m lucky enough that my first time was on vinyl. Great gig in the sky ends and you just sit there wondering what the fuck just happened to you.

You sit, and you sit, in silence because it’s end of side A. Then, when your ready, only when your ready, you get up flip the side and Money walks you back to you seat, album craft.

Now, the immediate jump from great gig in the sky to money is just jarring, you need the space to breathe

🎵We will fight for bovine freedom, and hold our large heads high,

We will run free with the buffalo, or die!!!

Cows with guns🎵

A bold claim. But edges out the second by just a hair.

This always trips me up. Would the correct way of writing: a cube 256mm to an edge

256³mm³? That feels inelegant.

Do the math myself so 1.67*10⁶mm³? Which seems like I’m asking the reader to simplify what I complicated.

Or 256mm³? That seems true to speech it’s a 256mm cube…

Sing me the doom song while I drive us to Whitby.

I don’t think Spec ops is spoilers to reveal you’re a bad guy, not in 2026: you play the US, in the Gulf. You play the US doing US imperialism, it doesn’t hide that from you. It’s just later in the game it confronts you with what that really means.

Braid absolutely, but it’s 17yo at this point, any reasonable spoiler policy* has worn off. Meets the criteria, gets you all empathetic for the little shit, Tim, then makes you question it all. I think a first play through is impactful even knowing he’s a villain… It’s not that he’s a villain that is cool, it’s how you find out he’s a villain.

*Except for Outer Wilds the spoiler policy on that is eternal.

Dungeon Keeper.

Destroy all humans.

Spec ops the line.

Braid.

Manhunt.

FragileFraggle getting the recognition she deserves.

It depends what you want to do with the art. But an easy answer for me is: the author dies when the author dies. Buy things after they die. Before that: pirate, second hand (I’d reccomend second hand everything though, within limits).

That’s not typically how I want my art though. Knowing what informed the art is interesting to see where it’s supported Vs contradicted in the piece.

Two examples: knowing jk Rowling is bigot then reading HP, well how did we not see it sooner? The series becomes a lot more sinister knowing who wrote it.

In contrast Ender’s game, how is that series written by that man?! It’s about love and the limits of love. It’s about life and the limits of life. Reading the series knowing the person who wrote it is baffling.

In general, knowing the contexts of the piece is interesting to me. Like Saturn Devouring His Son, it was painted directly on the wall of Goya’s house… Why, who paints that directly on the wall of their house?! Wait, Black PaintingS? There’s more?! Not knowing the story of the Black paintings, it’s just an interesting interpretation of a greko-roman myth. But, what hat did Goya see in his past to see that? What did he see in the present to need to materialize it in his dining room? What did he fear for the future?! Fuck.

Not a doctor.

I imagine that if they (top and bottom) drink plenty of water during the day it should be fine.

Do the “toilet for a day” challenge. You surely won’t regret doing the “toilet for a day” challenge.
