South St. Paul also has an Air Force base in it. Which is also on that list

Makes sense. I noticed it was bad because it was obviously election related and completely off topic for the subreddit. So it went past the high quality into the simple and bad

I remember when I first started noticing bots bad was in 2016. They have been there for a while now. It’s advertisers turn now though. It’s at the end stages

I tried to get LLMs to write a cover letter for me. It could either lie about my credentials to match the job or write a generic one about my credentials. They are so dumb. This should be useful for us workers but won’t get better since it doesn’t help businesses.

To be honest the best use case for Gen-AI is people using Gen AI to generate professional messages from simple sentences and the recipient to use Gen-AI to translate it back. I can’t wait for all my interactions to be made for me. It’s going to be terrible

I want to eat that cheese with a dagger, a loaf of bread and something in a mug

Gamegate was 10 years ago. It was terrible then and really ruined the Internet. Assholes learned of they were big enough assholes they could get what they wanted. Social media companies learned that assholes get more attention and get them more money. Traditional media learned that reporting on the social media assholes got them more attention. Now it’s all assholes all the time everywhere.

How quick after IPO do they ban porn and how quick after that does the site fail?

I’ve really been seeing this for programming questions and it’s infuriating. It’s dozens of different sites that are either copying the one stack overflow forum or an endless repeat of the same question. It wasn’t even 2 years ago that you could find the answer easily. Now it’s all crap and so hard to find the official documentation.

Yeah. I guess you’re right. I just don’t follow anyone and without real names it seems different

Is fediverse social media? I never considered reddit or this social media. More like a forum

I think everyone is seeing that the worth of social media isn’t worth what you need to pay now

I never understood the appeal of buying digital with DRM. It’s just a more expensive “rent” tied to a service.

You do have a good point. We shouldn’t give credit to almost and maybes the same credit as actual content. Regardless of what happened afterwards but it’s still interesting to see what could have been

I never really saw the Frodo and Sam read as homosexual but that article was convincing. I always thought of them as being part of a loving friendship the kind that only exists when two friends go to war. The kind of friendship that can could only be forged when two people who lived in the same place had to go to hell and back together. However, I can see the romantic and sexual elements of a friendship within that context. What I never enjoyed was the dismissing of that kind of friendship as “gay” in the derogatory and dismissive manner. But that is the great part about art is that it is open to interpretation based on people life events and their context.

That is what made the acting choice so brilliant. Every interaction had this tension, charm and plausible deniability in tone. Deciding to play it similar to Gay Men trolling for other men from the 50s made this possible. It was all undertone and body language

I do find it funny that the moment two blokes have a close friendship on screen people are confidently declaring that they’re gay all over social media now, as if blokes aren’t able to have deep and meaningful friendships that aren’t sexual at all.

You do make a good point that any two close male heterosexual friendships being labeled gay is a problem. Its important to show that as well. I feel like some pairings have friendship vibes than others but that’s the fun of the debate.

But what I think this video shows is how important representation is. Since there was no queer characters in Star Trek people made their own in their fan fictions. These become wildly popular and influential at fan conventions, zines and the internet. The whole genre is still referred to as Slash Fiction for the most popular pairing Kirk/Spook fiction. These types of fan fictions influences future writers, actors and showrunner who made it a reality. That is what I think is interesting about this video

The video has lots of clips and interviews. Its an interesting look at everything

That scene is amazing.

The Trill story line with Dax has it’s own video but is mentioned in this one. It’s fascinating to see the details of the rest of TV at the time. I steamed it after it aired
