  • That looks great, and your cat clearly likes the perch ❤️

    Maybe it’d like a hangout spot even higher up? I saw a video a while ago where somebody had made a “cat path” high up on their wall with some sort of cylinders maybe 15cm (6") in diameter and max 45cm (18") long wrapped in twine, at maybe 1m (3’) intervals or maybe even a bit more, so that the “path” led to a hangout spot high up in the corner of the room. Of course you’d need to build that in a spot where the occasional falling kitty won’t land on your collection of priceless Ming vases and live land mines, or your 99" 4K OLED TV.

    Wouldn’t even need all that much material. Could maybe use pieces of PVC pipe for the “path”, twine, that hammoc or whatever platform you’d want to have, and then the… uh, what’s the word in English… fasteners? Everything you need to attach all that stuff to the wall.


  • Yes, exactly. In general the whole notion and everything they claim is fucking idiotic from start to finish. Outright lies, misunderstandings, misrepresented partial truths, etc.

    Those two friends of mine aren’t “gunpowder inventors” as we Finns tend to express it, ie. they’re… well, stupid would be a bit too harsh, but they’re definitely not smart. I’m not surprised in the least that they fell down that rabbit hole, but fuck does it get tiring.

    “Saako vähemmän kontekstia?”

    Mutta hei, ei tullut tuomiota, mikä tarkoittaa oikeiston mukaan sitä että ihan turhaan siinä oksentelet kun kaikki oli laillista, ja sitäpaitsi ne tytöt sekä Hesari ja oletettavasti myös poliisi valehteli koska vasemmiston ajojahti.

    Rydmanin kaltaset niljaiset ihmisperseet ja tukijajoukkonsa saa kyl pienen ihmisen välillä toivomaan, että internetin välityksellä voisi puukottaa jotakuta kurkkuun.

    Did you read anything I said past that part or did you just want to get your petulant downvote in?

    I literally fucking said the boom’s idiotic and there’s a lot of problems with the technology, but just blindly pretending everything about it is shit is as idiotic as is pretending they’re the good for everything. What is it with people’s inability to have a honest fucking argument; “their ‘sample data’ is nonsense” is bullshit and you fucking know it. “Sample data” isn’t even a fucking thing in this context.

    I know hating ChatGPT is trendy, but while I think this AI boom is absolutely idiotic and LLMs aren’t suitable for a lot of the things people try to use them for, I think there’s a real tendency for people to make it seem like everything about them is garbage. Pretending that even their training data is “nonsense” is just silly


  • Yeah it’d be a waste of your time and energy.

    I have two friends recently suddenly drop into the conspiracist nutball rabbit hole, and I really don’t have much enthusiasm to see them anymore. Last time they grilled me on the moon landings, and absolutely nothing I said meant anything to them. If I hesitated even for a second when answering one of their “accusations” they took it as proof that I’m the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about – couldn’t be that I tried to think of a way of explaining something to people who clearly aren’t familiar with the subject at all beyond whatever idiotic conspiracy garbage they’ve consumed.

    I keep repeating this, but “moderate” conservatives are mythical creatures much like unicorns or ethical billionaires.

    Every conservative either outright supports authoritarianism, or would be fine with it as long as it’s their side in power because of course the leopards won’t eat their faces. “Moderates” will always choose co-operation with literal fascists over co-operation with the left because they ultimately have fewer ideological disagreements with them – just look at what’s happening here in Europe with all the “moderates” lining up to kiss Meloni’s ring (remember that her FdI party is literally a descendant of the original Fascist Party and multiple of its members including Meloni have voiced admiration of Mussolini)
