I think he might have adhd.

Oh no, I don't think we're ready for him to start mythologizing autism + ADHD.

Watching my therapist pull up Musk facts on his phone for 40 minutes going "bro check this out you're just like him frfr" the moment he learned I was autistic was enough for me. Please god don't let musk start talking about hyperfocusing.

Itch and Kenney have good ones:

Synty also has a nice placeholder pack for $7. The post-it notes are kind of adorable:

I don't think most of these are made for Godot, so you may have to mess around with import settings or set up tilesets/materials yourself

I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense.

Oh HELL no that's the same editor theme I'm using. How do I cast a spell to banish these people

It was some Adobe-style theme I downloaded a long time ago but I guess I'm using the anti-woke theme now

It's been 3 days, my hope that this is real is fading :(

Musk will always own that hilariously disturbing baby roleplay Twitter alt though

This is really cool!

I was just thinking it would be cool to have something like RES's 'Previously Read' feature that only shows the new comments, and everything else is darkened or collapsed. This does a similar thing though and it's great for these weekly threads

I love this but I don't know if I have the same royal Grape Fanta energy in me. I think I'm on one of the alternate themes but I like #333333

I'm not familiar with Indian politics but I'm curious if anyone understands what this site is or what its politics are https://democracycollective.in (I'm just nosy and curious, I saw this pop up out of nowhere)

Though maybe I already have an idea:

Honestly, I've gotten more laughs out of messing with markov chains with my friends than anything ChatGPT could put out

I suddenly feel a lot less bad about him having his game copied and re-sold because he released it under public domain. Maybe the 'left' in copyleft scared him

Hateful and stupid 🤝

"Helldump" is my new favorite term for that

Sometimes you find really crazy stuff in people's histories. This year, I've found a Black neo-nazi, an alt-right plural system, and a Thelemist who is just so beyond the pale I literally cannot paraphrase what they said and have to quote it in full: https://www.reddit.com/user/Nexist418/comments/i6is83/banned_reddits_and_the_reasons_if_known/

/r/animememes :: Did not use the banned word "trap" but explained how banning the word was an empty meaningless gesture. Also, demonstrated how Communism is a failure (in the private messages with the mods). Despite doing as they asked, and despite not having broken the rules, they have not bothered to adhere to their end of the deal. Not surprising Communists never seem to do what they promise.

I just follow the prime directive with these people, but I think it's mostly because I'm not good enough with words to accomplish anything by confronting them. I remember this one impassioned thread on like, /r/HarryPotter or maybe /r/books about HPMoR and all the crazy TREACLES stuff. And I understood them completely, but I felt bad because it had like, two comments, and neither really got what OP was trying to communicate. They were like, "I love HPMoR, it's so upsetting that bad people online co-opted it! That's crazy. Thanks for the heads up!"

Here, though, was someone who had a name and an active social media presence, whose LinkedIn resume was expansive, whose listed address is a multimillion-dollar home near Golden Gate Park. On Facebook he carped about San Francisco politics and pride-posted about his daughter.

There's just enough information here that it'd be fun to try and guess who it is

I can never resist tracking down crazy people because sometimes it's just a goldmine of weirdness. I saw someone on Reddit who was censoring her dog's genitals, and when people made fun of her she accused them all of being pedophiles. It turns out she's Robert Mercer's granddaughter and probably works at Cambridge Analytica's successor, which is apparently either the easiest $120k paycheck ever or a $160k living hell full of long hours and crunch (unclear which).

Oh wow it's been awhile since I last saw that article, that's a fun find. I have a weird soft spot for Inform 6+

Reminds me a little of the "XYZZYing the Technical Interview" series of blog posts (reversing, hexing, typing, rewriting, and unifying)
