find out who has the right takes and fall in love with them

find out who doesnt and is too afraid to say so outright and call that snake OUT

So long and short I enjoy watching Alone, a "survival" show where a bunch of off-grid r-slurs starve themselves to win a couple of bucks. They're "Alone" in the sense they after they are dropped off they have no communication but a radio to say "halp, I am dying, please come get me" and random medical check-ups that I'm sure some insurance guy was like "yeah you need that."

So I'm browsing Netflix and I see Alone: Australia and I'm legit and decide to tune in. The last several seasons of Alone have been up in northern Canada so I'm like "cool, change of scenery, win win"

Well I'm half way thru the third episode and 3 of the 10 people have already quit. It's DAY 3.

Why did the people call to quit?

1. I miss my ugly wife and kid.

2. I can't start a fire boo fricking who

3. I'm 22 and I got covid!

Yes, that is right, in their little med-kit designated for if you chop into your leg with an ax they have Covid tests. This season was from 2023.

Other things of how cucked Australia and this version of the show is.

Some lesbo PhD felt bad about having to hook a worm to go fishing, and states "i wouldn't mind not catching a fish."

Multiple people are already dizzy from lack of food.

If they cast a line for fishing they have to sit and watch it incase they hook a platypus because it might drown and they must save it.

They can't hunt with a bow.

Told NOT to eat any forgeable mushrooms incase they misidentify

In disbelief I scrolled through to the end and at the end of this episode another cuck fricker leaves.

This isn't in the middle of the outback either, but on Tasmania, where it rains like, 200 days a year or some shit. And it's a little chilly. And plenty of trees. And nobody has mentioned a croc so probably no fricking crocs.

This season is 11 episodes plus a reunion. I don't think I can make it bros.

I just want to watch my hecko outdoor survival shit why must those down-under cute twinks be so fricking lame

Aussies explain yourselves

There was 0 care when Elon gave his three word reply to a tweet about redditors wanting to kill him and his zoomer concubines :soysnooseethetalkingtyping: and the sub just went down at a snap of the finger.

We all know it's because of them needing to janny it up so he can't find anything more, but does he even have any power to potentially bring the entire site down?

He always replies to longposts about shit nobody cares about so could it be possible to compile a large list of Reddit wrongs , threadify them for twitter , then send it straight to him and see where this goes?

/u/fleurbb please sit on my face

and several existing dk ones

just search donkey and diddy (harambe for the 2 new ones)

The unnecessary wearing of combat utilities has got to stop. They look sloppy, are sloppy, and dressing down like this, in this context, in this location, when the SECDEF is visiting, is simply disrespectful.

Mine is be comfy. When I'm able to get away with it I wear coveralls to work. The gulf is hot 8 months a year and I'm sweating, let me be comfy.

Sheehy: How many genders are there?

Hegseth: Two

In the Senate hearing for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, freshman Senator Tim Sheehy decides to crack a little joke.

: How many genders are there? A tough one.

: Uh, Senator there are two genders.

: I know that well, I'm a Sheehy (pronounced She/He)

There's some polite laughs, because it's a silly little pun, and Hegseth laughs too hard like a cute twink. People are MAD

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.

I've been messing around trying to figure out LoRA training recently and decided to train a style LoRA on the original Marsey Telegram stickers.

Should more flexible than MarseyGen since this is trained on a newer uncensored model, but it's booru tag-based so it's not as easy to prompt.

Civitai Download Page

Recommended Settings:

• Requires a UI that supports SDXL V-Pred models such as reForge/Comfy UI

• Model: NoobAI-XL V-Pred-1.0 (may work ok with other NoobAI based models)

• LoRA strength: 1.0

• Sampler: Euler A

• Scheduler: Beta

• Steps: 30

• CFG Scale: 5

• CFG Rescale: 0.5-0.7

• Zero SNR: On

Use the following tags to generate images of Marsey:

domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail

Full example prompt:

masterpiece, best quality, marseystyle,

solo, domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail, sitting, :D, blush, black background

<lora:marseystyle:1>

Negative prompt: worst quality, low quality

Some example images (with metadata from reForge UI):

And yet, despite all of this, the Academy is showering the film with nominations. It's disheartening to see how -actual- Mexican films, with authenticity and cultural accuracy, don't receive this level of recognition. Instead, we get a film that diminishes the importance of language and cultural representation, all for the sake of style over substance. Imaging making an Italian language movie where Brad Pitt keeps his Italian in "Inglorious Basterds" not as a comedy but as a serious drama, that was this movie. A joke.

I just saw another at the superbowl pre game black woman band show and I'm really at a loss here. Why are they trying to look as ugly as possible? Is it some feminist thing? Why blonde, to get back at whitey? Why are most of them fat?

You start off controlling 1 out of 7 nations in a WW1 setting. You're given 3 units (naval units and ground units) and 3 main cities. Your objective is to capture 18 "supply centers" scattered across the map. You are allowed to publish public announcements through the "press" (i.e rile up drama) or start private correspondences with other players. There is nothing that obliges you to honor alliances or compromises with other players.

That's the general gist of it. There's also a small number of simple combat/logistical mechanics to it. Easy to learn but hard to master yadda yadda. IMO it's one of the best strategy boardgames (despite being 60 odd years old) out there. Would anyone want to start an online game ?
