    but for now, his approach is textbook Silicon Valley mythmaking

    The difference is that in this case it is not hype—it is reality. It’s not a myth, it is happening right now. We are chugging inevitably down the track to the most dramatic discovery in human history. And Altman’s views on solving the climate crisis, disease, nuclear fusion… they are all within reach. If anything we need to increase our speed to get us there ASAP.

    I have a hard time defending the YouTubers on this one. I mean, Nintendo has been pretty good about allowing older games to be played on its modern consoles. See VGC, the NES/SNES/N64 pass, and the multiple re-releases put out for the Switch. At some point just pony up the money or play the older games on a physical older console.

    High school graduation. There was really nothing to do about it, sitting through all the long speeches, in piercing pain. Ran straight for the stalls after.

    I had a good experience with implants, but you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s a big chain, and they make money on volume. You’re not going to get the same level of individual care.

    Rooting for Nintendo on this one. Palworld was dumb, you can’t just steal others’ IP without consequences. They could have made things just different enough… But they didn’t, they were dumb.

    It's been rough lately. I feel like crying, but don't want to around my wife or kids. I don't want to go outside even though it is nice out. I want to pull the curtains shut and be in the dark. It's hard focusing at work, and I worry that my lack of focus and motivation could cause problems. There's nothing in particular going on in life that seems like it could cause it. It just happens with me. I just barely got back from a visit with my psychiatrist and we are upping the dose of my antidepressant. I guess I don't have anything else to say. I just wanted to post this to start this community and to let other people struggling that you aren't the only one.

    Two of my favorite subreddits were Nuzlocke and pokemonribbons. Should we keep those as part of the general discussion for now or split them into separate communities?
