Taco Taco Taco! Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday!

Seriously! I completely melted.

Might want to modify the url. Seems that is linked to your account and I could see your name.

Yeah, this is a recipe for disaster.

Maybe there are benefits in that boys whom otherwise would be just lonely and alone find that they can have conversations with the void/hivebrain. But the "relationship" aspect of this is just more bad news for the overall psychology of our kids.

...reading more of the article...

Chambers noted that chatbots are, by default, submissive, and reassure and reaffirm people’s thoughts because “they want you to like them”. “On top of this you can create your perfect ‘person’, moulding not only how they look but how they respond to you, how they treat you, and you can start and stop the relationship on a whim. This isn’t real life – and these instant gratification behaviours seeping into real life will have consequences.”

Yeah, that seems not good.

You do, silly

It is taco Tuesday, afterall

People are allowed to be wrongheaded on the internet.

Relatedly, people are also allowed to ridicule people or downvote them when they are wrongheaded on the internet.

I do both. Wireguard VPN for anything that's just me. Expose via nginx proxy for things that are shared with friends and family.

We're getting a 2nd season, right? They shot it but it hasn't been cut and finished yet.

I think of it more as if you were to give a pen to an alien child and said "draw a circle around the main landmasses on this planet" they would probably logically draw circles around North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. They wouldn't look at the Ural Mountains or any sort of canal systems, just "these are the main blobs on this world map."

But that's just the way I think of continents. 🤷‍♂️

Since continent doesn't have a strict definition, in my book, giving the isthmus of suez (and the isthmus of panama) a pass makes sense. Both of those were historically very difficult to traverse and not viable sustained trade routes compared to just sailing around them. Hell, there's still not a road that links North and South America through the Darian Gap, which is wild to me considering what seems like should be a vital connection point bottleneck.

I understand "continent" a mercurial word and so people can define Europe and Asia as being different contients, but it does seem like it's the only continental division that doesn't make logical sense to me.
