I would assume that if they want to make the world a better place, they admit that their actions have long-reaching impact, which is not really a feature of nihilism, optimistic or not

But I'm not an expert, do what you want

Yeaaaaah

This was so impactful that I only recently realized the title of the actual TV show wasn't "Tool Time". People talked about a mysterious show called "Home Improvement" and I didn't even suspect it was the one I watched with my parents all those years ago

I would give credit, but your username being CarbonatedPastaSauce gives different expectations to any recipe with your name attached

Same here. Last time this was shared I found a single recipe kind of interesting, but not enough for me to actually memorize what it was.

Thinking back, it was probably the Mac and Cheese one, and I had already wanted to try to make it anyway (it's not a very common dish in my country, or at least my circle)

Oh no a massive time sink

(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don't want to waste months of my life, so I'm considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012...)

Clearly because it's cheaper than having a lot of people violating the rule a little.

Think of all the savings!

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I'm kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him "wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?"

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there's that)

That was pretty damselfish of you

I bet all the people who said "chess is a solved game" are feeling really silly right now

I've always said that the worst thing that 9 did was completely destroy any excitement for Star Wars in an instant.

Prior to 9 releasing, people didn't like 8 and were already souring on 7, but there was still discourse, people caught up on Star Wars news, people were excited for the new content.

After 9, the excitement dropped like a brick. It was the closure of a trilogy in one of the most profitable IPs in the world. There was still more content planned to come out soon iirc (the shows, and I think there was talk of more movies), so it's not like people stopped caring due to the lack of content. Nobody I knew was interested in discussing fan theories or analyzing the movies (except to rag on them, I suppose). It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror... And were suddenly silenced.

Luckily it's an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand...

Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl
