Fast. Cheap. Good.

At best, pick 2.

This applies to code and coders as well, despite management’s inability to comprehend reality.

Ahaha, and Kenshi still defies meaningful classification.

Oh yeah sure, sure, its an open world sandbox survival rpg.

Sure, yep, just like all the others.

Hahahah!

You could apply Wuxia and Samurai and Cult and Animals to it, arguably also Xianxia.

Oh and they’ve apparently reworked some older tags, so we would also have Consversation and Difficult.

I believe they coined their own aesthetic as ‘Swordpunk’, but it’s currently just got ‘Steampunk’ and ‘Post-Apocalyptic’… sure, that’s kinda close, why not.

… ain’t nothin quite like Kenshi.

I mean I’ve thought a few strippers ‘liked’ me, but that was after they gave me their number, and a schedule, not long before closing time.

I also think it is at least theoretically possible that an actual superhuman AI (which do not currently exist) could end up with a morality structure that cares about humans, or some subset of them… but its definitionally impossible to determine what the likelihood of that is.

That was what I noticed as well, scare quotes atound his name as if he was a vague or fantastical concept.

The Facebook Boomer form of grammar is fascinatingly stupid.

The copay is ‘can you find a coconut today?’

Going to therapy?

… in this economy and healthcare system?

Oh I don’t have a house, I’m under 40 years old so that will likely never be possible, unless I win the lottery.

I have a studio apartment. The filter/tank is uh, i fill it up at the sink, holds 36 cups of water, gravity filter between the top resevoir and the main dispenser tank.

Benefit is the entire system is portable, and maintenance is very simple, the filters themselves are maybe $30 a pop, and the whole set up comes with a particulate detector mabob, so when it reads over a certain amount, filter is starting to go.

There is 0 chance the place I live can afford to overhaul the plumbing… they’ve been looking to sell the property for about a year now, lol, haven’t found a buyer yet.

A rather notorious hornyposter has been quiet/absent for a while, my thesis to explain this is they are being horny in meatspace.

I just got a water filter/tank thing the other day.

My god, the water tastes sooo much better, literally sweet, in comparison to before.

So probably that means I’ve been mildly lead / chlorine poisoning myself before that, but uh, my tea tastes incredible now, so that’s good!

Microsoft tech support:

Ackshually… what you’ve identified is not a problem, because my boss has a greater ability to rationalize the existence of problems, than solve them.

Therefore you are an idiot, stop harassing me.

I may not properly understand quantum immortality but I suppose it is technically ‘possible’ that I might be schopenhauer, in some sense, so… uh … yes, maybe?

Frankly, I don’t see how killing baby Hitler is not… extremely obviously morally superior to molesting baby Hitler.

You can kill anybody nearly instantly.

‘Molestation’ implies… over a signifcant amount of time.

It also implies that this is done in lieu of directly killing baby Hitler.

So you’ve now generated an even more fucked up Hitler.

Who will… regardless of how their time travel affrcted lifepath plays out… well they’ll have been molested. As a core memory.

That… seems to me to be less moral, causes more Hitler-suffering, unnecessarily.

You’ve minimized total suffering, via killing baby Hitler.

… this is all assuming that just… doing either of these things somehow results in Hitler not coming to power, WW2 doesn’t happen, holocaust doesn’t happen.

Frankly I also do not see anything near a guaranteed causality to ‘molesting baby Hitler’ -> ‘somehow WW2 does not happen’.

Whereas it is at least semi-plausible that killing baby Hitler at least could result in ww2/holocaust not happening… I guess the … Strasserists just stay in control of the Nazis? And do not have a strangely charismatic firebrand to massively expand the movement?

So it also just seems very impractical, unlikely that molesting baby Hitler would achieve the presumably desired aim.

And it also assumes that these are your only two possible actions.

Of course the entire thing is ludicrous is the sense of hinging on perfect foreknowledge, and time travel, which is fundamentally paradoxical, and/or results quantum suicide/immortality type nonsense, and/or in the Red Alert timeline.

Oh god, and we essentially have to assume that this will be the only possible instance of time travel that ever happens, otherwise we potentially get into a kind of battling time travellers scenario ala whatever the fuck the Terminator series is doing now, and/or just a reality where many people can do time travel.

Why not just do… teleportation, and either kill or molest Trump or Netanyahu, right now?

I think I’d again conclude that telefragging them would be morally superior.

x2 dirty chai enjoyers!

It is so very sad when somebody makes one with coffee and not espresso…

Yeah that’s uh… I mean I’m autistic and I was nowhere near that socially inept at age 19, damn.

Also, because I had to look it up:

khhv = kissless hugless handholdless virgin

… I would imagine its less that Violet got chased off and more that Violet is uh… touching a bit more than just grass, at the moment.

Trump can’t even barely read English!

He famously had to have his aides condense anything he needed to read down to one page, and also use his name a lot, to keep him from becoming disinterested!

Oh my god I am going to explode.

I can currently just barely figure out how to do a 9070 (non XT), 24gb DDR5, 1TB SSD via an AOOStar Gem 12 (soldered on 8745hs, iirc) total setup for the rig, at just a bit above $1500 before tax.

Without a monitor, of course.

That’s like the absolute most bang i can figure how to squeeze out of the least bucks, and its a non tradtional setup that works via a dock/cradle and Oculink (cost of that is included).

Doing the same specs in a traditional PC just ends up being more expensive, though its debatable as to whether the approximately 10% to 15% max performance hit on the GPU that OcuLink incurs in highly demanding scenarios makes that 100% true.

So yeah, this… this person is like, hilariously out of the realm of reality.

There… is only a single, mainline, broadly available RTX GPU with 32gb VRAM.

It’s the 5090 RTX.

Which came out in January of 2025.

At an MSRP of $2,000.

With many partner models considerably exceeding that, up to as high as $5,000.

Not only is the pricing ludicrous, the timing is not possible.

The only thing in 2024 or prior I can find with 32 gb vram is basically an unofficial mod or variant called the RTX 4090 D, that never left China, or, maybe it would be something like about as hard to find as a GRE variant AMD card in the US.

I guess unless this person’s uncle works at Nintendo Nvidia, or something.

Outside of that, we’re talking workstation/server type GPUs, generally with even more ludicrous pricing.

This person is either very confused or very bad at lying.

Also wtf does ‘maxed out the system ram’ even mean?

You can get 128gb of sys ram into… most middle to higher tier mobos with 4 dimm slots. Many higher tier pc mobos can do 256gb.

???

Almost made me do a spit take, damn you lol!

Nope.

I’m legitimately having a blast right now, 100% affirmed by reality, which I spent the last roughly 15 years of trying to tell people, very labriously, with very detailed reasoning, why what is now obvious was then and basically always has been the case.

Your discomfort is my schadenfreude.
