Comment on How a secret recording of a gender identity lecture upended Texas A&M in ~lgbt
moonpike LinkEmphasis mine. I find this quote rather sad. The emphasized part strikes me as treating Trump as a king figure, given that she’s presumably referring to the related executive order. Despite...The student said she wasn’t going to participate in the lecture because she didn’t want to “promote something that is against our president’s laws, as well as against my religious beliefs.”
Emphasis mine.
I find this quote rather sad. The emphasized part strikes me as treating Trump as a king figure, given that she’s presumably referring to the related executive order. Despite everything that’s been happening in the US lately, that still feels really gross to see/hear, especially from a woman at a university. I’m aware that pro-Trump people have a tendency to be bizarrely pro, especially in places like Texas, but I still associate universities as being at least a bit more sane (I don’t know anything about this university in particular though). The article mentioned another student who said the confrontation felt performative, but even if she was playing it up, it still feels sad.

Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games

Doesn’t help that I can’t resist roguelite games and that’s currently a popular genre, so there’s an endless supply of demos showing up. Super Fantasy Kingdom, Clover Pit, Ball x Pit, Raccoin, Skull Hoard, etc… so many recently played demos that I’m now forced to wait for, so sad. I’m thankful that releasing demos has become more popular again in recent years, or at least it feels that way to me, maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention before
I'm not sure this counts since it's not really helpful to anyone, but what little I use of AI is generally in a comedic way. My partner and I really enjoyed using things like GPT-2 (pre-ChatGPT) to generate "stories" that quickly became absurd since those models weren't very coherent. Since models are more coherent now that's not as easy to do (outside of seeking out older models on purpose), but we still enjoy doing other dumb things with it sometimes (like playing jackbox)
