Moved in with my brother to help raise his twin boys. Him and his wife are not capable of caring for two kids on their own. I moved out after they grew up a bit and could take care of themselves more. I always thought my brother would make a good dad. Not sure too many can in this day and age.

I mean, he's said before that shitty code doesn't make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have "bad" code and that it doesn't matter and people should just make games.

One of our coworkers keeps telling us to trust AI.

We're like, we get to to generate some code but we always check it. The coworker was like, nah you should just trust it. We're like, why? He said you should just train it until it gets to the state where you want.

We were like, we're competent in our fields and we wouldn't want to use anything in production that's not checked by a human. Even if it wasn't checked by a human we should have some checks for sure. Not sure why he's so adamant about not checking anything.

I think I recall the Alex Baldwin and Kim Basinger being the first episode that pushed me off the Simpsons .. it felt like celebrity pandering or something and I just stopped watching

I'm going back to Europe for a few months for a visit. I was looking at other VPNs and they were offering me cheap discounts but I'd have to sign up for 2 years or some shit. Mullvad was very straightforward in their pricing and I was able to generate the VPN config and I have it installed on my travel router really easily.

I think I understand your overall sentiment. Just wanna boot up games and not think about settings, compatibility, framerates and stuff. I know what you mean.

Trying Out Pop OS on my laptop (self.linux_gaming)
 

Hi all,

I'm traveling for a few months so I picked up a used gaming laptop from one of those trading sites. It's an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024.

I initially went with Windows because I wanted to game. I was gonna miss my terminal for dev and a bunch of other things but I thought compatibility and not dealing with hassle was more important for now. The thing is, for some reason, the laptop would be running really hot all the time ... even when idling.

I got fed up and I put Pop OS! loaded steam with the compatibility stuff and ran a few games really well. My only issue so far was that the laptop keyboard didn't work during installation but after an update it was fine. The laptop obviously gets hot when running games but when idling it runs really cool.

This is now making me feel like I can convert my gaming desktop over as well!

I was considering Bazzite too? Anyone know if it's worth it?

Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists | Surrounded (www.youtube.com)

This was originally titled: 1 Christian v 20 Atheists, but it seems they changed it after JP keeps muddying the waters.

Update: I get why most of you wouldn't want to watch the video. I went to a men's group therapy session and went after the organizer for recommending me a Jordan Peterson book. I get it. The video, however, isn't a Jordan Peterson channel (yes I know we're still bumping him in the algorithm) but I think it fit the community for sure.

I just don't get why you would comment: "I'm not watching that." Congrats dude. I know it's for you, not every video is. There is some value in seeing Peterson get dunked on and seeing the way he weasels out of things and getting called out. If you think it's not worth the cost of watching the video. I'm not going to disagree with that. That's cool too. We can all be cool about things.

If you're voting conservative or liberal or NDP or Green, whatever ...

I didn't sign up for any list. I also heard that you shouldn't text STOP to these messages because they use that as confirmation of my number?

I reported it to spam, I'm just curious if these are legit and how you handle these?

Are Easter Baskets A Thing Where You're From? (self.askacanadian)

I'm watching a video by Zac Rios about people buying lavish Easter Baskets for their kids and such:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDfCjp9fSGI

I know there's an Easter hunt in school and for kids and stuff, but I've never received or heard anyone receiving an Easter basket as a gift living in Canada/UK for the past 40 years of my life.

I googled and "Google AI" says that it is a thing in Canada, but I don't trust it.

Is this a thing that I've completed missed? If this is a tradition for you, where are you from and how long have you done this?
