    I'm so mad that they had to brand all this as AI. If it was just marketed as a more advanced LLM, we wouldn't have the insane overhype that we have now and probably would see them implemented in more thoughtful and useful/impactful ways.

    But of course marketing sells. I get why it was marketed that way, and I can't say I fault them for doing so, but it just annoys me beyond belief.

    When I first joined in as a new player, having the main hub town near the spawn to help get my bearings and have a safe spot to just start out was amazingly helpful. I second a TildesTown 2.0.

    I'm still in the "Minecraft is virtual legos" camp for how I generally play, so any broad changes or anything like that to the more advanced aspects of the game I'm just along for the ride!

    I do have some ideas of what I might want to try building this time around, they are all relatively "easy" though in the sense that they aren't complex machines that require interactions with in-game mechanics.

    I'm just happy to be playing in a community :)

    our school banned cellphones completely this year for the first time

    What I want to know is, when did it become the norm for cellphones to be usable during school? When I grew up most people had cell phones, but you were not allowed to have it on in class. Even as a teen, I understood that it was rude to be distracted on your phone while someone is trying to talk to you and teach you something.

    Seems like a no-brainer that cell phones should not be allowed during the school day except in cases of emergency, and I've never understood how, when, or why that changed.

    Been working on my piano song, I think right now with where it's at it feels more like an opening title song to a video game or something, think gently rolling fields with a light breeze over the grasses. Have it recorded on my keyboard but apparently Macbook Airs no longer have aux-in capabilities and I will need to either get a dongle or move my keyboard over to my desktop which is annoying. Project for another day.

    I'll try to upload anything I have so far when I can play around with the recording setup. It's fairly short at the moment and not sure where I may want to take the song into a longer direction or keep it as-is. Either way it has inspired me to get back into the improvisational mood on the piano!

    Yeah we cancelled our subscription a while back. While we would like to go other routes to support company products that we like, sometimes Amazon's prices/return policies are just the best option around, or in some cases, they just don't sell them anywhere else.

    I will say if you don't know what you're looking for, a lot of cheaply made garbage can absolutely flood the store in a hurry, but if you have a specific product/brand in mind that you want, it's still a perfectly fine place to shop.

    The thing that frustrates me most about the "both sides suck" sentiment is that it's as actually kinda true but also completely missing the context or scope of things and hand waiving things off. It's like if you had 2 employees at a company, 1 is stealing people's lunches out of the fridge, the other is stealing hundreds of thousands of embezzled money. Yeah, both employees suck, but there is an insane degree of difference between the two. It's completely disingenuous to hand waive it off.

    I'm so tired of the two party system, feels like no one actually represents me but I'm forced to pick a side because the other side is so cartoonishly evil.

    The comments that he was suspended for didn't even have anything to do with Kirk himself, it was about the right's response to the events when the shooter didn't fit the narrative they want and Trump himself. Kimmel has numerous times already denounced what happened, said it's a tragedy, and can't fathom how anyone is celebrating this event.

    This request is just asinine and political posturing.

    Yeah not quite sure why they decided to finish the story like through a movie, I really enjoyed the series as a TV show and the pacing/story telling for this pair seemed to work really well in a TV format. I never really got the impression that it would work in a movie format. I can't tell from the trailer what the story is even supposed to be other than them traveling around causing mischief.
