Thank you, this meeting has been incredibly helpful, but it could have been a shitpost.

Today I was reminded that old online chats offered context awareness for the people online: you knew you won't be a bother to a friend who has a smiley flower as a status; and you knew you might not be getting a quick reply from someone who's Away.

Today I don't even know if my friends are online or not. The messenger apps make the assumption that everyone is online, and if not, they will receive a push notification, and will reply to you as soon as possible. But this assumption is barely true. I bet it makes lives harder, especially for ND people

Oh shit. The qualifier is Standard?! That's a format that didn't exist until literally yesterday.

Oh dang, I almost forgot! We're playing Dandan, the forgetful fish! Go watch now!

#MTG banned list update. They really just nuked standard.

FYI if you play on Arena and have wildcards to spare, craft 4 copies of each of these right now. Your wildcards will be refunded when the ban update drops tomorrow and you'll have the cards "for free" to play in other formats

Remember, an LLM cannot lie to you.

… because lying requires an intent to deceive, and LLMs are just stupid bags of math and plagiarism that have no intentionality.

What they’re going to do is misinform you, which is a very different thing. For instance, you’re still misinformed even if it happened to get the right answer, because your receipts for why that’s the right answer boil down to “The bag of math and plagiarism said so”.

So I was talking to a couple of guys at the union hall about Magic the other day, and based on that extremely anecdotal information, the Final Fantasy set is accomplishing its goal of getting new people into the game, but the massive price hike is also pissing those people off #MTG #MTGArena

Mastodonian white-moderate-scold culture is most repugnant when it comes to mutual aid. Black single mother needing help with medical expenses? Report. Palestinian family trying to survive a genocide? Report.

It's the online version of white people calling the cops if they see an Indigenous, Black, or Brown person in "their" street. No discussion, evidence or proof of wrongdoing needed when you've got Privileged White People Gut-feelings

A two day break between EoE chapters has been killing me, and I deserve some chocolate for not going absolutely feral about it.

Struck with the horrifying realization that I've probably cast Thoughtseize more times than I've cast Lightning Bolt. I need to go and reflect on what I've become.
