What's the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?
  • You should give a shit, because it means now the library has to waste its money cleaning it, instead of funding programs or new books. Libraries losing funding makes the world worse. These people made the world worse.

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • This dude is an asshole who endorses vandalizing public libraries if it supports his political narrative. If he's in favor of people shouting their opinion where it isn't wanted, them I'm sure he'll be in favor of my comment.

  • Recommendation Algorithms & Advertising - Where do you draw the line?
  • I'm on the extreme end. Any kind of "recommendations" are an immediate and complete turn off for me. Not just the obvious stuff like "sponsored" posts or "algorithmic social media" feeds. I abhor and avoid even things like Spotify recommendations, which most people consider useful.

    Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that's what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person. Sure, everyone likes oatmeal, but that's because its bland and inoffensive.

    I want to find my own shit through my own idiosyncratic process.

  • Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI
  • To reinforce the shift in company culture toward "empowering and rewarding every employee to find security issues, report them," and "help fix them," Smith said that Nadella sent an email out to all staff urging that security should always remain top of mind.

    Yeah that ought to do it.

  • How do you connect with people and make friends without social media?
  • Board games. Find people who play board, card or roleplaying games. Sign up to an open group to play. Its an extremely social hobby with no pressure - you're just there to play, and if some joking around and friendship happens, its a great bonus.

  • How do you see yourself in your imagination?
  • My brain has coalesced around this fantasy version of who I was when I was 25.

    I'm in my 30s now but when I imagine myself that's who I picture. And funny enough that person wasn't even who I was at that age. I was way insecure about so many of the things I now think back on fondly. Getting older is a funny thing.

  • What is your favourite poem, and why?
  • Li Bai - Quiet Night Thought

    床前明月光
    疑是地上霜
    举头望明月
    低头思故乡

    Before my bed bright moonlight pools
    Almost like frost on the ground
    Raising my head I see the shining moon
    Bowing my head I think of home

  • Chicken breast with romesco sauce

    I made this dish as a way to practice creative food plating. Its a baked sliced chicken breast served over homemade romesco sauce.

    The chicken is garnished with pickled green onions, cillantro, white pepper, pickled radish slices and light sesame seeds, with dabs of wasabi for dipping.

    The vegetables are pickled julienned carrots, cherry tomato juliennes and charred julienned red pepper and brussel sprout.
