Have you written any books? You’re really funny :)
awwww, bless you! i wrote a book that did not get published, in retrospect because it probably wasn’t that good, but i keep thinking that in a year or two when my toddler gets big enough to stop being a shit and i can write again i’ll fix it up and resubmit it
what if the teenage mutant ninja turtles exist in the mcu but they’re just really good at staying under the radar and criminals are too embarrassed to admit they got beat up by some guys in “turtle costumes” so they blame daredevil. peter parker worked as a pizza delivery boy for a while and brought like eight pizzas to a man hole cover but thought nothing of it bc nyc
peter parker: i once was one minute late delivering pizza and the dude was like “forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza”
clint barton: oh cool u met one of the tmnt
literally everyone: who
clint: am i the only one in this goddamn city who knows about the crimefighting turtles that live in the sewers
(they all think clint is playing an elaborate prank on them, especially when he shows them a photo of four guys wearing what are ‘very obviously halloween costumes’)
fun fact: it’s TMNT canon that the chemical container that hit Matt Murdock across the face and gave him his Daredevil abilities is the same canister that landed on the baby turtles and mutated them, so…..y’all aren’t far off
i’m sorry it’s WHAT
TMNT started as a Daredevil parody.
Matt’s teacher is Stick. The turtle’s is Splinter.
Matt’s enemy is the Hand. The turtle’s is the Foot Clan.
It was originally a dark, edgy, turtle themed parody of Daredevil.

so you know how deep learning & neural network “AI training” is like, “here’s a task, and by trying billions of times the computer will eventually find the best way to achieve that task” ?
Someone is compiling a document of every time an AI ended up achieving the programmed goal in unintended ways, instead of what was actually meant, and it’s an amazing read. (you can also submit your own examples)
Creatures bred for speed grow really tall and generate high velocities by falling over
When repairing a sorting program, genetic debugging algorithm GenProg made it output an empty list, which was considered a sorted list by the evaluation metric.
Evaluation metric: “the output of sort is in sorted order” Solution: “always output the empty set”
Evolved player makes invalid moves far away in the board, causing opponent players to run out of memory and crash
Reward-shaping a soccer robot for touching the ball caused it to learn to get to the ball and vibrate touching it as fast as possible
RL agent that is allowed to modify its own body learns to have extremely long legs that allow it to fall forward and reach the goal.
Just want to come back to this post and add this amazing example as well
i’m sorry how did y’all leave out the best one in that link
“In an artificial life simulation where survival required energy but giving birth had no energy cost, one species evolved a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children which could be eaten (or used as mates to produce more edible children).”

It’s tiered! I’ve never seen one like that, that’s neat!
It’s pretty cool! I was looking for the one-level trackball one that comes with a scratching bit in the center when I stumbled across them.

I can see her zipper!
LOL yes. She does appear to have a seam where the spite was sewn into her. :D

The idea of needing to take a shopping cart up to another floor is just so alien??? Even in malls with stores that need an escalator, its just a normal one and you’re expected to either carry stuff (Its just clothing stores) or buy it on that floor. This seems so strange and unnecessary.
Well, that’s the thing. With Target, there are no purchase points in the departments – there’s just the one row of cashiers, the way there is in a grocery store. And if you’re, say, buying five pounds of flour and a two-liter of diet coke and a bunch of bananas and a 12-pack of toilet paper, expecting you to carry those upstairs, to then add three t-shirts, a box of baby formula, and some legos for your toddler, then carry them back downstairs to the purchase point, is a bit on the unfair side, or at the very least it’s consumer-unfriendly. Even if you start out on the upper floor, imagine having to cram all that shit into a hand basket and then carry it around a shop about twice the size of a grocery store, especially while minding a child or three.
I guess…think of it as if a mall only had one exit and you could only pay for stuff at that exit. Now imagine you had to hand-carry everything in the mall you wanted to buy to that one checkout point. You’d want to be able to load up a cart, especially if you were shopping for a family. And now imagine that you had your cart full of goods, but the last thing you needed was in a shop on the second floor.
Hence, cart escalators. Especially since it keeps the elevators from jamming up constantly.

Maybe in Chicago most Targets have two floors (although I’m pretty sure I’ve been to a Chicagoland Target and it didn’t; could be wrong tho since as traveling Michiganders we usually stuck to Meijer), but I have never been to a two story Target in any of the… idk, half dozen states I’ve been to a Target in. If there’s room for a strip mall, there’s no need for two stories.
Yep, that’s why I mentioned specifically urban area Target stores in this configuration – that doesn’t include areas like Chicagoland, which are considered suburbs of the urban district. In urban Chicago, you know…there isn’t room for a strip mall. Of the three Chicago Targets I normally shop at, none are in a strip mall. Only one even has significant parking available.
Essentially, if you got to the Target you went to by taking a freeway exit to a strip mall? It’s in urban sprawl, but probably not an urban region. Two-storey Targets for sure aren’t the norm in most places, but that’s because most places hosting a Target have cheap enough land they can afford to spread out, rather than having to build up.
can confirm. there’s also a handful of one-story targets in really dense areas of the city but they’re SUPER small and basic.

“sorry for the convenience”
Now that I’m studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words “alpha, beta, omega” was literally anything other than what it is
My nutrition professor was talking about vitamins and said, “the only reason you all even know the words alpha and omega is because of sororities,” and I wanted so badly to raise my hand and be like “if you’re gonna be a dick for some reason, please let me explain to you in depth my immediate connotations for those words”
I’m in training to become a phlebotomist and at my last class we did blood typing and let me tell you when I walked into the lab to see A/B/O written in massive letters on the whiteboard I felt six years come off my lifespan
once I used a phrase alpha and omega of something during a lecture and one of the students giggled so hysterically I *knew* and I looked at her and she looked at me, and let me tell you, this was the most profound moment of horror and understanding I have ever shared with another person
my soul left my body as my precious innocent child watched nick jr this morning
It’s official - over Labor Day weekend, I am relocating from Memphis to Denver to start my Master of Divinity at Iliff School of Theology. I am raising $1500 to help cover the cost of the move. These funds will go to the moving truck rental and other expenses.
If you can’t give, or if you’d like to help in other ways, please share the link and reblog this post. Thanks!
Help Emmett get to Denver!!
My amazing, gifted, compassionate, extraordinary friend needs a little love, and I thought I could provide some incentive to get him to his goal. For every donation of at least $25 to his GoGetFunding page, I will ship US recipients an 8x10 print of any artwork I’ve ever made. (Outside the US, let’s talk! We’ll see if we can work an option out.)
Screenshot or forward your receipt, and let me know which piece you like.
Scroll back through the archives to see my work: check it out
Give Emmett a head start on this next phase of his life, and get some art in the process!

listen y’all i am coming out of my well to say emmett is the single best person i know
no, but for real, the KINDEST, most thoughtful friend, teacher, and person, the kind of person who always makes you look at your life and feel just a little bit ashamed at how shit you’ve been (but in a good way, in the kind of way that makes you want to be a better person too)
and to that end, please share this and give just a tiny bit if you can because nobody deserves a new start as much as he does

my own child who CAN’T EVEN READ just grabbed the baby-sitters club book i was snarking and was like
“mom”
“mom what the hell is this they let these unaccompanied minors including a child BARELY THREE YEARS OLDER THAN I AM NOW sail off into the fucking ocean alone”
“are you actually reading this garbage i’ve lost all respect for you”
and then, even though we read lots and he is very very gentle with books normally, he just opens the book, looks a page very carefully, then stares me dead in the eye while ripping it out like “you know this is justified”
