solidarity with osha. i love a good railing

finally found a future 10k post in the wild

Had a dream a while ago about Warhammer 40K, where I learned that there was a meme in-universe among the Mechanicus where they would trick each other into opening a file that contained a picture of Vashtorr the Arkifane. Presumably, this would then require the victim to waste time scrubbing their minds of potential Chaos corruption. They referred to this meme as "getting Vashtorred."

All pew-pew'd out.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

It's up to you to decide if he has a Johnny Bravo pair of sunglasses or a silent stern animated dad mustache

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.

You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

why is everything so big and round on my dash

staff: how can we make this website worse? oh how about we make the icons huge so the post takes up 95% of the screen and people can only see half of someone’s art or edit at a time lol also huge inconvenient follow button where people scroll
