explosions in the sky

Good band! Saw 'em live in Oxford, MS way back when.

Thanks for the reminder Lally :) I highly recommend a Thunder Vest for your animals if they’re afraid of loud noises in general. One of our cats, Pancake, always runs and hides when he hears loud booming noises (thunder, fireworks), but if we have his Thunder Shirt on in time he will come out a lot quicker. And sometimes he doesn’t hide at all! Promise I’m not a hidden marketing rep for this company, but it’s the name brand I know lol.

My wife and ai keep talking about this. We plan to flee our deep south red state, but it fills us with survivor’s guilt knowing we have the means to do so, and so so many just do not.

Will watch later, but can you briefly summarize so wife and I aren’t freaking out until then? :(

Faaaantastic! This actually could be pretty dope.

Aw man, it’s so pathetically adorable! I love these little goobers.

Thank you! Haha no, but it may be now! It’s an Avatar: the Last Airbender reference :)

I’m very happy to hear that :)

BRB, loading my shotgun with birdshot.

Hm I need a shotgun.

Sweet baby <3 he munch, he crunch, he noms a bunch.

You’re very welcome, I’m glad you liked it! I’m kind of obsessed with this guy and his band, lol. Here’s another good one.

If you only worked a little harder

Ha-ha

Thanks for the detailed explanation! That helps me understand it better myself. So basically, anything we put in orbit ourselves is always going to degrade, which requires routine positioning (i.e., expend some energy to keep the balloon in the air)?

From my understanding, it was in orbit for three years before reentering our the atmosphere in an uncontrolled descent, then it fell through dude’s roof.

Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you and Echo :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you ❤ these comments are really helping me through a rough time, and I am so grateful.

I have no doubts about that either, myself. Though even if such an abomination of a doppelganger were to exist, and it seems that these companies are hellbent on making it so, it would be worse for the reasons you described previously: prolonging and molesting the grieving process that human beings have evolved to go through. All in the name of a dollar. I apologize for being so bitter about this (this bitterness is not directed at you, frog), but this entire "AI’ phenomenon fucking disgusts and repulses me so much I want to scream.

We have a box of old recipe cards from my grandmother that my wife cherishes. My parents gifted them to her because out of all their daughter-in-laws, she is the one that loves to cook and explore recipes the most. I just can’t imagine someone wanting something like that in a sterile technological aspect like an “AI-powered” app.

“But Trev, what if you used an LLM to generate summaries-” no, fuck off (he said to the hypothetical techbro in his ear).

Thanks coy, I really do appreciate you taking the time to send some kindness my way. And that’s true, it does get easier but it never really goes away, nor should it I guess. You’re good people <3

This really did help, thank you so much for your kindness. Your feelings are just as valid friend, and I hope you can take solace in hearing that from someone else, just as I did <3 We’re gonna make it.
