If you’re like me, death is a win. The ultimate fail would be immortality, where you can fail at everything else and then can’t even fulfill the one thing nature expected of you.

Oh, great, they’ve made multiple accounts now so it’s going to be whack-a-mole blocking this user.

4·2 days agoThey’re pretty shit at hauling loads. Awful beds and low tonnage compared to other options. American pickups are what you get if you don’t know what you’re doing. They’re definitely showbag vehicles.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best live performance you've seen?
1·4 days agoYa I’ve been to a few too. My fav was when there was sound issues and Josh stopped playing, the band went back stage, and he just sat there drinking a bottle of vodka. He’d update us on whatever info he was getting, slowly the bottle disappearing. 20 mins later he said a line I’ll never forget, aimed at the sound engineers, “Isn’t it funny how the people that say they’ll be there for you always hurt you the most?” Then just kept sipping vodka, sitting on a sound monitor.
Finally, with almost an entire bottle gone, the issue was fixed. They started playing again. Josh was stumbling around but didn’t miss a single note on the guitar or on vocals. It was like being awesome at his craft was just subconscious to him but the solos went longer, he did more insane shit. All perfect.
The only other band I’ve seen so tight like they may as well have recorded a one-take album right then and there was The Strokes.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This is how pedestrians die on Chicago streetsEnglish
6·5 days agoSo it’s pointless then.
Literally they exist for one situation…
person walks onto street
“I’m gonna hit that idiot. Oh, dang! They’re on a crosswalk so I’m not allowed to.”
That’s the logic.

11·5 days agoThat’s what I thought. Rarely I’ll see one on a two-lane, usually they are set up with lights. This six-lane avenue? That’s likely getting an overpass, lights as minimum.
This is road engineering so stupid, I wouldn’t have believed it were a real thing, but here’s a video.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Because what could possibly go wrong with this quality-of-life upgrade?
41·5 days agoDepends on the country/area. Most western countries it’s DIY, either paying at the pump or inside to staff.
Personally I prefer this because I feel lazy af otherwise. Though, it’s quite nice in Japan because they often do the windows and stuff while pumping. But places like Greece, you just sit there awkwardly wanting to stretch your legs but they’re confused if you get out.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Because what could possibly go wrong with this quality-of-life upgrade?
11·5 days agoThat’s so you can check your hair while lane changing. The sleek design doesn’t disrupt AC flow from the side dash. You’ll look and feel cool as you pull in to refill every 50km.
It’s been years and I don’t think I’ll ever learn what a “liberal” is in US language. Afaict it’s got nothing to do with being a liberal, it’s just a slur used if someone is left or right of your position.

102·6 days agoThey’re trained off masses of shit with no regulation. For all we know the idea is from a mash of 2011 Reddit comments and an 2016 news article about public health in The Netherlands.
LLM control is just trial and error guardrails applied like band-aids, many of them contradicting each other.
This is what happens when technology is rushed to implementation before governments can react with regulation.
Yeah. At this point LLMs are what people are referring to 95% of the time when they say AI. If one comes up with the cure for cancer, it’s because we already have it and it picked it up in the last data scrape.
And someone wins the coveted Nobel Prompt Prize.
We already did that one

memes@lemmy.world•30+ year old gamers trying to pull an all nighter: I'm tired, boss.
15·8 days agoYeah, all-nighters are easy. It’s more the ~24 hrs+ cliff that comes out of nowhere that’s rough. Then there’s the battle to power on for another 14-15 hrs through the waves of highs and lows, because I’d rather that than sleep during the day and blow up the sleeping pattern.
Pulling all-nighters for gaming shows very little experience with pulling all-nighters.

Easy, casual, like a linear sandbox for lack of better terms.



It’s this and many other things that have led me to believe an alternate canon where Superman is just a real dummy.
Krypton didn’t blow up, his parents just did a Joe Dirt on him. Dumbass probably moved one of their moons as well so they just left him on the church doorstep called Earth.
